Way better than iPod Touch

I really like the 5-inch screen and the Android operating system. I only wish the device had a user replaceable battery as the battery will eventually wear out - just like ALL rechargeable batteries.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, android operating system
Cons: no user replaceable battery
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good player but lacks in areas

Overall I am happy with the unit. I replaced a 5 year old HP IPAQ so the functionality is a HUGE step up.
Connectivity with other devices is great.
Application stores from both Google and Samsung are excellent. The 5" screen is AWSOME!
The camera lacks quality, it takes a long time to get a blury picture. I have yet to figure out how to get a good shot of the kids that is worth putting up on FB. Uploading pics to FB is amazingly easy!
The units has no "ALWAYS STAY ON" mode. So the GPS works for 10 minutes and then it shuts off. :(

Bought this and gave away my ipod

I didn't think this thing would be as big as it was but it is still very pleasant. I've had this for a while now and I've worked up a few pros and cons:
Pros:
Camera flash is bright!
Great at multiasking
Screen is bright and clear
Easy to type on and hold in your hand
Runs every app installed flawlessly

Cons:
Like always with these things came with a bunch of bloatware
No dedicated camera button, taking pictures with this would be so much easier with one
Sometimes the touch sensitive icons on the bottom become a little unresponsive but only through severe multi tasking.

Awesome product!

I bought this as a phone replacement since I mostly used the data on my phone plus I can make calls over wifi which is basically everywhere. The first thing that stood out from the iPod touch and most phones was the screen size. I have the larger of the two models which has a very bright, 5 in. display, which, when it comes to my eyesight, is great. It does pretty much everything the iPod touch does and then some when you take the fact that you are no longer dependent on iTunes into consideration. Plus the micro sd card slot is a great feature. And last but definitely not least, it is very durable. I must have dropped the thing almost 20 times (about 4 of those times being at least a 4 ft. drop onto cement) and i can only find one little scratch on it's corner (not the screen might I add) after a nasty fall in a parking lot. Altogether, this little (or big, depending on how you look at it) device has been great for about a year so far and is still going strong. I would definitely recommend it to a friend.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

This player has great value and features. I especially like the GPS and FM Radio. Awesome device! Has a 5" screen which totally beats the iPod touch's 4" screen.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive
Cons: performace is sometimes low.
