Great for what it is...could be better than the iPod Touch

This is basically the Android version of the Apple iPod Touch but it needs only a few upgrades to make it better than the iPod Touch.
1. More internal storage
2. Higher resolution screen
3. Better front and rear cameras
2. Higher resolution screen
3. Better front and rear cameras
Other than that, it would be perfect to fight the iPod Touch because the price is better and you can expand the storage with microSD cards.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

3.5mm Jack is highly flawed
on June 26, 2012
Posted by: mynicknamethatsnottaken
I bought one of these yesterday and wasted 30 mins trying to figure out how to get the headphones to work instead of the speakers. It turns out you just plug the headphones in and its supposed to switch to those but the thing has to be in the exact right place or it doesn't work. You can push it in to far and it doesn't work. If its not in far enough it doesn't work. When its in correctly the grooves don't seem to match up to keep it in that spot. You can turn (or press or pull) the cord slightly once its in right place and it stops working and pauses the song so you have to press power and swipe screen and unpause and move it around until it works again.
Obviously I figured the thing must be defective so I returned it and got another one. This one does the same thing! I mainly bought this to use as a mp3 player with headphones so its pretty much useless to me.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, don't use the headphone jack
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

just unboxed a few hours ago and have not got around to seeing just what this product can do. It seems like a fingerprint magnet so i have not taken off the factory film and it would have been nice to have been able to find a protective case and screen cover for sale somewhere here in the states. This is my first android/smart device so don't pay the rating too close of attention. I did some research on this device for a few months and only heard good things, hope it lives up to the hype.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very good, but could be better

Love the large screen. 2 problems. Device is slippery. Can I get a textured back. Also, why is this so thick. You make a phone this size (bigger actually) that is 3 mm thinner. Would make a big difference.
Pros: Bright display, screen size
Cons: slippery, thick
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not a Tablet?

What a great Android device; but why isn't it marketed as a 5" tablet? If it included communications beyond WIFI, it would be the perfect device.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: no "phone/wireless" connection
I would recommend this to a friend!
