Great value for the price

I owned the first galaxy prevail, I bought it because it seemed to be a good phone for the price, I soon found out though that the processor speed, RAM and phone memory were poor, what added to my discouragement was the fact that you could only move certain things onto the SD card so were limited to what apps you had on the phone. I bought the new 'prevail II' because I saw that the processor was much better and so was the phone memory, this phone I believed was a great value for the price. Much to my dismay, it had the same problem with moving things to the SD card only worse, you can't move ANYTHING to the SD card! And all that extra phone memory I though I had was eaten up quickly as the phone is set by default to automatically update the apps, all of them! so I was getting these huge updates of many MBs for apps the phone came with but I never used. Once the phones memory was eaten up the processor ran slower and so I had a phone I wasn't happy with. I had to go in, turn off automatic updates and clear away all the data from the apps I wasn't using that had updated. Still once I was done and cleared up half the phones memory, I again was in a situation where I had to choose only some of the apps I would've liked to have had on it. Apps like chrome and Facebook are 80-100+ MBs, you get the picture, Sadly, the phone is a great low priced phone otherwise, I love the features, many of which are found on the higher priced Galaxy S series, if only you could move apps to the SD card to free up the phone memory it would be a great low priced phone, as it is, the only thing you use the SD card for is music and videos, these days with all the updates, 2 gigs of phone memory simply isn't enough unless you can move things onto the SD card.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, nice display/screen size, a lot of features found on the more expensive gala
Cons: Did not meet expectations, cannot move apps to sd card
I would recommend this to a friend!

Decent working phone

I've had the Prevail 2 for close to a year now, and it still performs to my expectations. I've never had the drop call problems that I've herd about, but I have had the phone freeze up on me a couple times. Probably around 5-8 times in the time I've owned this device. A simple reset has always fixed the problem. Battery life is good, screen display is good, the processor is nice, and as strong as some IPhones. The only complaint I've had right out of the box is the built-in speaker for phone calls and music. A Bluetooth headset and wireless speaker solved that problem. Its just not that loud. Although I am about ready to upgrade after 10+ month's I have had a good overall experience with the Prevail 2. I've dropped it a hundred times and even have unfortunately thrown the poor thing and to everyone's surprise she keeps on keepin on.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, perfect one hand size
Cons: built-in speaker, only one color scheme (white)
I would recommend this to a friend!
