Don't waste your time with anything else

If you don't believe me, there are plenty of online videos and reviews showing how this phone is faster and easier to use than virtually any other phone - in particular, this phone even beats the iPhone for those of you still wasting money on those.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

At the time I got this phone because it was the best choice amongst the Windows Phone launch options, but I don't regret it one bit.. the Amoled screen is the best on these phones! Calls are crystal clear, speaker doesn't sound garbled, great processing power, and a thin and light physique.
Pros: Durable, Lightweight, amoled display, windows phone 7
Cons: can get hot over time
I would recommend this to a friend!

Had to have original phone replaced due to internal issues with hardware. Replacement is not any better because it blacks out and charging indicator says its charging when it's not even plugged in. Videos skip and run slow apps run slow and mess up. Overall my phone has had issues since original purchase on 7/9/2011.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations, has malfunctions, perrformance speed poor, watching videos has problems, internet slow
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Every now and then the phone would start turning itself off and on again, it would become extremely hot, and after about twenty minutes of this it would run out of battery life, no matter how much it had left before. The screen wouldn't work well when I was typing, and it was very slow. After less than two years of use it deleted all my contacts, pictures, and reset all the settings by itself, and when I tried to get them back it told me that it was out of space. I would not recommend this phone to anyone.
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
