Great phone, great value

Overall the phone looks and feels GREAT. Battery life is pretty good if you turn off Wi-Fi when not using it. The display on this phone is really really appealing. The Windows buttons are a bit sensitive though. Overall I'd reccomend it
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight

I realy like this phone. It is the first Smart phone I've bought. The only drawback is you cannot download ring tones. I would realy like this feature to be on this phone.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: does not support downloadable ring tones
I would recommend this to a friend!

This phone is so easy to use
on April 4, 2011

from Webster Springs, WV
I was hesitant on getting this phone, it seemed too good to be true. I would watch my son use his and my co-worker use hers. It took me five months to make up my mind; that was five months that I lost out on a fantastic phone. I must admit I was a little scared, wondering if I could handle this phone. It was a needless worry; this phone is so helpful, it actually guides you. I am so happy with this phone and am constantly learning. I love it!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good but not great

The display is great, battery life is good, performance is good (and in some ways great), atttributable to both Samsung and Microsoft. One thing that I find annoying is the accelerometer on my model is highly prone to losing its bearings. I sometimes get stuck in landscape mode and have to power off the device. Comparatively, another device that I've had for three years has never malfunctioned in that department. I have to go into the Diagnostics app and repeatedly try to recalibrate it - something a non-tech user would hardly know about.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: bad accelerometer

I like the screen. Texting and phoning work well. I have yet to explore all of the features; but so far am satisfied. Web browsing is easy. Am looking forward to enjoying this phone for the next few years. Recommend it.
