  This is the best phone I have ever had. The Microsoft store is limited, but other than that it is awesome. Buy an SD card. With it as it is limited on storage.

title: The Nokia Lumia 520 is an awesome phone but make sure you get the right one.
text:
  My wife and I bought the international version because it said that it was unlocked. We thought that meant it was the right one to get if you want to use straight talk for your cell phone service in the US. It does work but you can only get GSM or EDGE cellular service NOT 3G or 4G. So if you are in the US and you want to use a Nokia Lumia 520 with the straight talk plan get the Nokia Lumia 520 GoPhone (AT&T) which is also sold here on Amazon.com. That one will let you use the 3G and 4G service that straight talk has. With that phone we are now able to get 4G and it is way better than being stuck with only EDGE service.

title: Awesome smartphone for people on a budget
text:
  My brother, an ex-Android fan had to switch to this due to its low price and boy he was satisfied. Even as a tech-savvy and advanced user he expressed his delight with the phone a lot. It still lacks a few important things that I will list but at this price range, I think it is unbeatable. -1 stars if you don't care about the price.A few things I wish were different:  1. Slightly better build quality. The plastic cover feels good but I still expected something a bit more sturdy.  2. Windows Phone 8 is GREAT. Yes I'm serious but it can definitely use more apps  3. The new IE on WP8 is great too, but I'd like to be able to use Firefox or Chrome too occasionally.  4. 8 GB storage is not much, especially almost half of it is used by the system. I mean this is probably related to the low price and since it has an SD card slot not a very big deal.

  I love this phone.  It is speedy and does everything most people need.  Don't be fooled by the 8 GB storage space.  It is plenty and especially with the ability to add up to a 64 GB chip in it then who needs more.

title: Best smartphone I've used
text:
  Now naturally you would think that as progress happens every phone you used would be the best phone you've used. Not so though. Some phones I've used have been a step in the wrong direction, or have solved one issue only to have 3 more pop up. The HTC One, however is such a pleasure to use! The device is sleek, and for me, reigns in the title of the best looking/feeling android phone to date. The attention to detail is great (there are a few quality control issues however, but nothing major. For example the screen to the speaker grill isn't quite flesh, it's a very very small amount of on mine, but the device functions perfectly despite that. Just an OCD thing.)The Positives:1) Audio: Now the most amazing thing on the device is the sound and microphone quality. The dual front facing speakers (known as BoomSound), is able to blast music and other audio through them. It does so with amazing clarity from a phone that I have never heard before. The next thing is the microphone and it's noise canceling technology is crystal clear. When you get the phone, just open up the voice recording app and give it a little demo. You'll be blown away by how realistic the audio that it records is. Plus, it's clear. A great feature to have in a phone. Youtube, calls, skype, hangouts, now sound that much better.2) The screen: This screen is sharp and goes well with the clarity that we get from audio. With a ppi of 468, and a full 1080p screen, movies, pictures, and just web browsing look extra sharp. Good speakers and a good screen make this a multimedia powerhouse.3) Processing Power: The device blows through what ever you throw at it. The device doesn't just idle behind as it's trying to process stuff. One thing however, the device isn't running Android 4.2 (yet!) so there is a small amount of non buttery smoothness when scrolling through lists for example. That should be fixed through a software update to Android 4.2, but you really have to pay close attention and not blink to even notice it.4) Camera: The camera is great, it has a lot of features. Unfortunately it doesn't wipe the board of all other manufactures. It excels in low light, and the feature sets that it has. Zoe's, Burst shots, action shots, object removal, always smile, and more. HTC really packed the camera app with features. But as I said it doesn't win every camera measurement. Other cameras will get better daylight photos. It's not to say that the camera on the One is bad, just that there are cameras that do one thing better, but then the HTC One does lowlight, video recording (clear audio), file size, features, etc much better. Bottom line as far as the camera goes, you won't be disappointed with the quality it takes, and unless you are coming from a current generation smartphone device, the camera will be an upgrade in almost every capacity.5) Sense: HTC has loaded a lot of features into sense. They have their BlinkFeed homescreen which aggregates information together and puts it into a sleek scrollable view that looks quite amazing. Did I mention they have an IR Blaster (ability to use your phone as a universal remote)? Yeah, it does and the Sense TV app that goes with it makes it a lot easier to watch tv. Seriously, try it out. Sense has been flattened a lot and become less intrusive. HTC still has a way to go (I hope they come out with a more google experience looking theme), but it looks great and adds extra functionality to stock Android.6) Battery: The batter is not great, but it's not terrible. You have to think what it's powering too. A super powerful snapdragon quad core processor, and a full 1080p 4.7" screen. It's load speakers, and 4G LTE. That's a lot of juice needed. I was hoping for a little higher capacity battery. I ran a battery test on the device (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufo0YeP5T8c) and it got great video play back and I get from normal usage about 24 hours of usage out of the device.7) Modding: For a lot of people this point won't matter much. But for me it does. The device can be easily unlocked through HTCDev.com. This allows me to continue my obsession of tinkering with my devices.The Meh:1) HTC decided to go with a 2 button navigation approach. A misstep if you ask me. It won't kill your user experience on the device, but it gets some getting use to, and in some instances when an app isn't going by google's design guidelines, it adds a fugly onscreen menu bar to the bottom of the device's screen. This may be resolved by allowing long press back button to be used as menu key fall back in a future update.2) Wish there was a better more visible notification LED. Something like on the nexus 4 or galaxy nexus. Multi color and having customization. There is a notification LED, but it isn't that visible, it stops after 5 mins and it is only green for notifications.3) Not available on Verizon. Hopefully it will be soon, but it isn't right now. I'm chalking this up to being Verizon's fault, however.The Bad:1) Bloatware: I have the T-Mobile version and there is some uninstallable bloatware on the device that you can't get rid of. You can disable it, but it still takes up space on your device. Kinda of annoying. But I put more of that blame on T-Mobile, and carriers that do that.2) Software issues: There's a few things that HTC missed. The recent apps multitasking only allows for the last 9 applications, comes shipped with 4.1 and I'm not sure when we'll get Android 4.2, hopefully soon. This means stuff like emoji's won't be supported until then. In the multitasking window, you can't hold down an app to go to the app info page. Sense is a little quirky for the homescreen. For example you can't just directly add one of the apps on the homescreen to the lockscreen shortcut, you have to drag it from the app drawer to the lockscreen. There's other small annoyances like that. I hope they get changed, but they are by no means a deal breaker.Conclusion: The device is a great device, even with it's short comings (which are small) I would give it a resounding must buy. Even if you aren't in the Android camp and are an iOS, blackberry, featurephone, Windows Phone user, I would recommend you try the device. It's a very capable device. I've been thoroughly impressed by the device and the HTC has made an improvement to their audio experience that will amazing all smartphone users.

title: Best Phone (Don't get it off amazon tho)
text:
  It is the best phone I've ever gotten. I don't know why amazon is selling it for such a high price when you can get the unlocked straight from htc.com with a much cheaper price.This phone is gorgeous in every aspect. BlinkFeed is so much more useful than I imagined it to be (actually thought it was a gimmick before getting it). I just love this phone too much to not recommend it.

title: HTC One - Back with a bang!
text:
  Is HTC on the verge a splashing comeback? HTC reminds me of Apple in mid 90s when they were struggling. People had ruled out HTC but they have come back with a bang! I upgraded one of my family phones to HTC One. I have a Galaxy Note 2, and recently used S4 for an extensive period. So at places I may compare with what I have experienced.HTC One build is excellent, smartphone design absolutely amazing, and a delight to hold. Aluminum is used for the backplate and sides, making it an all-aluminum body. It certainly feels better than Samsung phones in some areas. The ergonomics and looks of HTC One are stunning. The screen size is certainly smaller than Note 2 and even S4.4.7 in screen with a resolution of 1,920 by 1,080 pixels. Full HD 469 ppi (Corning Gorilla Glass 2, Gorilla Glass is the alkali-aluminosilicate sheet toughened glass manufactured by glassmaker Corning.  Version 2 of Glass was introduced in 2012). The phone is thin and light. I highly recommend you to try it at a nearby store. Reading reviews do no justice to the phone; once you experience it, you will drool. I am happy there is a stiff competition between phone vendors. I don't have attachment to any one vendor. I am open to trying all vendors.HTC One runs Jellybean Android 4.1.2, using HTC's Sense user interface, not sure if it will be upgradeable to version 5.0 "Key Lime Pie". We may see 4.2.2, or 4.3 version of JellyBean rumored for Google I/O in May 15-17 2013, just a week away as I write this review.Key Notes:* Quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor running at 1.7GHz with 2GB of RAM* 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac support future proof for now. Note the support of "ac"* GPS, NFC, gyro, accelerometer, proximity, ambient lightAWESOME speakers. Per HTC, stereo speakers come with amplifiers, and Beats Audio technology for deeper bass. HTC one also has 2 microphones for reducing noise.* Camera is awesome; don't let the 4 MP fool you. It is the old photographer's adage. It is the not the megapixel, it's the sensor that matters! This camera is very light sensitive, and I was able to get great photos in low light situations.* micro-USB port for battery charging supports MHL, so if you buy an adapter you can use HDMI. Lot of people are not aware of MHL and not widely popularized. Basically you can make your smartphone into a giant computer. Connect smartphones to HDMI monitors or HDTVs, use Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and control smartphone. Per Wikipedia "Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) is an industry standard for a mobile audio/video interface that allows consumers to connect mobile phones, tablets and other portable consumer electronics (CE) devices to high-definition televisions (HDTVs) and audio receivers. The MHL standard supports up to 1080p/60 high-definition (HD) video and 7.1 surround sound audio while simultaneously charging the connected device."  DLNA Support is also included. These are awesome features indeed, and not noted much.* Just like the Samsung Galaxy feature, HTC One also works as an infrared sensor for controlling the consumer devicesSome cons:* 32 GB/64 GB models , but Lack of microSD card support may come as an issue for some* Battery cannot be removed (Li-Po 2300 mAh battery)* microSIM card is released by punching a paper clip. Just like iphones. As battery is not removable, this design is adopted by HTC* To Note: unlike international version, the Chinese models feature a removable back cover, featuring a Micro SD slot for storage expansion and dual SIM card slots. Dual SIMs are very popular in Asia not in US.* Crapware/Bloatware. Why do the phone manufacturers think they are adding value by adding software like Blinkfeed which cannot be removed. HTC advertises as a feature, I view it as a nuisance. There are no alternatives except vanilla Google Nexus phones. ASUS adds its own extra software, Samsung has its own. I feel they at least make provisions to remove these crapware. Remember windows PC in late 90s loaded with all kinds of stuffs which no one ever usedI have tried following apps from my Play library and they just worked awesome.Amazon MobileAndroid StatusAmazon Kindle (very sharp for quick reading, I use black background white text)AndroidifyAngry Birds (Space/Seasons)Asphalt 7Amazon App StoreBoxCar Maintenance Reminder ProChromeCNET TVNAVIGON (from Garmin - offline maps), was AWESOME!Google Navigation/Earth/MapsGoogle Currents (nice way to read News)Draw SomethingGoogle DriveEbayLinkedinGoogle Music (I have over 10,000 songs/podcasts) and it is free!Tapatalk (awesome forum browsing app)OverDrive Media Console: Library eBooks & Audiobooks (public library consumption of media)Microsoft One Note (legacy docs, skydrive of 25 GB is good)Subsonic Music StreamerTerminal Emulator (still need to use vi, yes this is it)TweetCaster Pro for Android (excellent twitter client)Twit.TvGoogle VoicePlenty of Widgets - BatteryPro, SwitchProPlease ask questions.

title: A great attempt by HTC - but it needs work
text:
  I began following the HTC since it was first getting leaked that HTC was staging a comeback, and the HTC One was going to be their flagship device. I'm someone that always likes to jump on board with the latest and greatest and so I tried out the HTC One shortly after it came out. Despite my initial excitement and some positive aspects to the device and the software, I ultimately ended up returning it. I've tried to highlight the pros and cons below that led to my decision.Pros- Fantastic build quality: This is what an Android phone should be built like and it just feels fantastic to the touch. High quality materials all around - save for a few bands of plastic for the cellular and Wifi radios. Holding this in 1 hand and the SGS4 in the other makes it readily apparent which company went the extra mile to build something that feels solid in the hand.- Excellent screen: The color reproduction is by far the more accurate out of the recent crop of android devices on the market. I regularly use a color-calibration device on my computer monitors, so I pay particular attention to this. The unit I specifically got has a slight red-shift, but nothing that impairs the overall quality. It's definitely got more accurate color reproduction than the Samsung Galaxy S4, but some people might like the "richer" more saturated look that the SGS4 provides. Viewing angles are only about okay, but not a big issue for me since I'm the only one that uses this. The 1080p Resolution makes everything crisp and easy to read.- Above-average low-light performance: This phone overall does a better job than most other competitors in terms of low-light performance. I wish I could say it stands above the rest, but Nokia takes top honors in low-light and in terms of mixed lighting scenarios I still think the SGS4 is still a step up. See the cons for more information.- Good camera software: The Zoes feature is pretty cool and is a great way to create little clips or pick out the best image of the lot. It's easy to share and integrates well with existing social networks. It's one of the unique software features HTC offers, and is definitely one of the fun highlights that most people I show really enjoy playing with. I just wish it came with a dedicated camera button to make taking pictures a bit easier.- Great built-in speakers: The speakers that are built into the phone sound pretty solid if you're holding the phone in the standard portrait mode. It's great for sharing something with a friend when you're in a more public area and most phone speakers give out. Don't expect miracles from phone speakers, but as far as phone speakers go they are a step above the rest. The beats software also does some great synthesizer work when you plug in your headphones, though it's more suitable for current pop and hip-hop music than for other genres.- Blinkfeed: Blinkfeed sort of integrates all of the news you care about into one convenient sliding panel. I tried it for a bit, and while it's convenient I also feel it was reducing my battery performance (no evidence of this), so I simply chose to ignore it. It's a great option for those of you that want to pull in information from all of your favorite sites into one area. I don't think there is a way to remove blinkfeed entirely, you can only choose to ignore it like I did. Still work trying out though!- Includes IR integration: This means the HTC can connect and control your TV, which is pretty handy when you can't find the remote. It's pretty basic in terms of the controls you get, but it works well in a pinch.- Solid wifi performance: I have a Asus AC-1750 802.11ac router and tested speeds on file transfers and media playback with the HTC One and it came through with flying colors. I was easily able to transfer a 1080p MKV movie file of around a few gigs in size in minute or 2. It's not as quick as the external 802.11ac adapters I have, but excellent for a phone.Cons- The metal build of this phone means that if it gets dropped it will definitely show some serious battle-scars, paint chipping, and dents. The SGS4, though plastic, does have durability going for it. It's a shame to feel like you have to invest in a case since it's such a good looking device, but I just don't feel safe about using this phone outside without one because it's so easy for someone to bump you accidentally and for this phone to get thrashed. The metal also means this thing heats up quite a bit when you're doing things like watching movies/tv or playing a game.- Camera is just not that great overall: The camera integrates what HTC is calling ultra-pixels, which are basically a smaller number of bigger pixels to capture more light. While this is a fine solution to capture more light and give you better low-light performance, it's not the best choice for when you do have plenty of light or even moderate light. Frankly, I just didn't think the images were that great, and the lack of zoom while working with them on your desktop becomes readily apparent - especially if you like to crop your shots after taking them like I do. I personally think Nokia's implementation of using a ridiculously large megapixel sensor and combining multiple pixels to oversample is the better solution. Take a look at the new Nokia 1020 sample images and compare to see for yourself. If I had to buy a Android phone today and wanted the best overall camera - my nod goes to the SGS4.- Average battery life: While the capacity seems decent for a phone, because of the higher resolution and larger screen I've been seeing very average to poor battery life results. I've used it mainly on my daily commute, which involves listening to Pandora to and from work, checking gmail very regularly throughout the day, and using the calendar and GPS functions frequently. I do watch a tv show during the afternoon sometimes if I'm on the go, and make about a hour or 2 worth of phone calls a day. Put simply, I've bought a external battery pack and a spare charger with me everyday that I had this phone because if I wanted to go out after work I could not trust the HTC One to make it through. Every HTC device I've tried has had middling battery life, from the HTC Sensation to the HTC One X. It seems HTC hasn't changed much here, and it's a shame because the battery is sealed in, so I'm not at all confident about battery degradation over time.- No expandable storage: The 32gb that's built into this phone, with a fair amount used up for the HTC software, just isn't enough for power users. I load on a good deal of my own music and I used to just swap out movies and tv shows onto a microSD card slot to take on the go (thanks to data caps ruining the fun of streaming them on the go). I think 32gb will be fine for most people, but not having the option to expand like the SGS4 or Sony models just puts HTC one step below.- Still some lag: This phone has some really fast internals, and does indeed run very smoothly most of the time. Unfortunately, there are still those moments of slow-down and lag that have plagued Android handsets for a while that I at least still notice. This isn't going to be a 100% smooth experience, but it's not enough to severely impact the daily use of this phone. Just wanted to mention that it still is there for those of you that care.- Poor button placement: The power button is along the top part of the phone because it's integrated with the IR blaster, meaning it can be pretty hard to reach for those with smaller hands. Moreover, HTC decided to break the Android standard and include only the back and home button with a big non-functional htc logo in the middle. I can't tell you how many times I've pushed the logo expecting to go home, and this is something my friends have done too when playing with the phone. It's just a poor design decision.Ultimately for me the most important aspects of a phone are camera performance, screen quality, and battery life. In terms of camera-performance the HTC One is just not as good as the competition, and I cannot recommend buying it for the ultra-pixel (4MP) camera when there are better options available today and coming out soon. Screen quality on this phone is probably the best you can get in nearly all regards. And the battery-life is just something that on day-1 isn't good enough for me on what I consider moderate usage. Overall, if I had to own this phone for a few years, I wouldn't feel too happy about it. While the screen quality will hold up over time, the camera performance is already behind the competition and the battery life will only get worse as the battery degrades over time. I'm glad HTC is staging a comeback and this is a great first-step, but it's still got some work to do before I can recommend their devices for long-term ownership and satisfaction.

title: Love it!
text:
  I love this phone!  It has a beautiful, clear, bright screen that I can read easily outdoors even with power saver mode on.  It feels solid, it's easy to hold, but it's not heavy or thick.  The performance is good enough that I don't even know what tasks are computationally intensive anymore.  The battery life is great. I typically spend 30-60 minutes a day reading books on Kindle, plus some time reading articles online, checking e-mails, etc. -- if I do this, the battery never seems to get below %70 by the end of the day, and sometimes I'm even able to go multiple days on a single charge without getting close to empty.  I've been able to do GPS-guided drives around the city and still use my phone for other stuff, which is something I couldn't do on my old phone due to the high battery consumption of the GPS function.On top of all that, the phone has great audio.  It doesn't make a huge difference for phone calls, but for listening to music you can really hear the difference between the One and other phones.In terms of software, it's OK.  I hear a lot of people complain about HTC Sense, and it was a little frustrating to navigate the UI for the first week or so.  After that, I reconfigured the home screen to show apps instead of the newsfeed thing and I feel right at home.  Before this I had a Motorola Triumph with an older version of Android, and I've noticed that a lot of the things I used to install extensions for (fine volume control, changing tracks with the lock screen, quickly enabling/disabling wifi, etc.) are built into the OS and work great.I bought this phone because I wanted to treat myself to a best-of-breed phone after my previous budget smartphone started having speaker problems.  It was going to be either this or the Samsung Galaxy S4.  I can't really know for sure if I made the best possible choice, but I absolutely have no regrets about choosing the One.  I like it enough that I'm not really that curious about whether another phone might be better -- it's pretty much everything I want in a phone right now.

  Yeah it has some flaws, but for the most part I am very impressed with this phone.  I've had it for 6 months and its still as fast and as responsive as when I first got it, unlike my android phones which after a year always seemed to slow down to the point of being unusable. Wish this thing had an external memory slot or at least some way to get more memory on the phone, Oh and I really miss swype from my android days, other than that I got no complaints: Call quality good, reception and data speeds good, responsive touch screen and tiles, the front and rear cameras are good, not great, but good.

title: Worthless
text:
  I bought this phone about six months ago and have nothing but problems with it, which seems to be a symptom of HTC. This being my second phone from them, I should have learned the first time around that a pretty design is hardly worth the infuriating software.To begin, my camera went green the SECOND day after it came out of the box. I took it to an ATT store (the provider) and they gave me lackluster feedback, claiming I was just being silly; after all, when it goes green you just have to restart your entire phone! Picture moment=gone.Thinking it may be a one time issue, I relied on the HTC warranty in case of future issues. Can you see how gullible I am? Of course, the issue happened again, and is currently happening more often.Not only that, but I am now having an issue simply trying to unlock the screen. When I type the password in, it opens to a black screen that states "resuming..." This screen appears for a good five minutes, rendering the phone completely useless. The only option to stop this is to take out the battery, which hasn't been an easy (or fun) thing to accomplish.Like I said before, I hoped to rely on HTC's warranty, at least some decent customer service. Mistake twenty three! They are awful. I could hardly get my point across without the lady insisting there was nothing they could do.Needless to say, I am completely frustrated. Look it up online and you'll see I'm not the only one with these issues, either.This isn't even touching on the fact that the interface isn't as nice after owning it for a while and just about any app you want is NOT going to be available.Fair warning: Skip the sparkles and glitzy design, they're all this phone has to offer. I promise you, I would gladly crush this thing to pieces and feed it to rabid monkeys if it weren't my most important form of communication. This phone has proven to be absolutely worthless to me and I will never in my life recommend or purchase another HTC phone.

  *****I did not purchase this item*****This model will not work with AT&T LTE in the United States. You will get HSPA+, but not LTE.There are several versions of the Q10. The are denoted as follows (SQN100-1, SQN100-3, SQN100-5, etc.)The product description says that this model is SQN100-3. This model cannot transmit on the 700MHz/1700Mhz frequencies used by AT&T in the US. This model uses the 2600 MHz frequency for LTE. If you want a Q10 to work with AT&T LTE in the US you need either a SQN100-1 or SQN100-5. To work with T-Mobile LTE in the US only the SQN100-5 will work.

After one month of use the #1 is not working correctly and takes the phone to the home screen.  This is only an issue if I need to manually input numbers so the inconvenience is tolerable until the weather warms up.

  The 5 stars are for really excellent service and a speedy refund upon return of the iphone. Unfortunately the iphone I received was not "unlocked" (it had an ATT sim inside) and because I was out of the country, no one (not even Apple) was willing to do anything to unlock it. The seller was great -- even said they'd send another one that they would first test as "unlocked" but that would mean me paying another 250 dollars in customs when it arrived. So, full marks for service and complete willingness to facilitate return/refund. I would certainly work with them again in the future.

text:
  The switch to aluminium from what I thought was a gaudy and bulky poly carbonate plastic casing the 920 has is a huge step in the right direction. This phone is great all around. I am a big fan of windows phone so I am completely fine with the OS and its current standing with it's app limitations.The phone itself is great and the different suites of apps that nokia provides makes all the difference. I used to have the HTC 8x. That was also a great phone although the lumia 925 has the better features, better battery life, and camera quality. The only thing the HTC 8x outdid compared to the lumia 925 was sound quality via headset and/or speakers. Of course HTC has the upside of using Beats technology and built-in extra amps, but the difference in quality seems incredibly noticeable even after messing with the equalizer in settings.Overall though, great phone. I hope Microsoft continues to improve the lumia lines in the same matter as Nokia as done so far.

text:
  I bought this phone for obvious reasons; it had a beautiful design, it ran a beautiful, streamlined OS and it had that sturdy Nokia craftsmanship everybody knows. The phone impressed me once I opened the box and turned it on,but the battery life was extremely underwhelming (about 6-7 hours of moderate usage) and there was a problem with the messaging app. After reading through many forums online, I came to knowledge about the nature of li-ion batteries; they require a dozen full cycle charges (that is, from 0% -100%) until they reach full potential. And it did, now I'm squeezing out just over 24 hours. The messaging problem is recognized by Microsoft and is being fixed, meaning it's a strictly server issue. Anyways, this is such a great phone! Don't listen to the reviews bashing the app store for not having enough apps; it has all you want and more.

  This phone is proof you don't need multiple core processors or a 5+ inch screen.

It immediately connected to our wireless service with the help of the wilson  signal booster ( which we need regardless of phone or company) It had excellent sound and fits comfortably in my pocket. It's a low end starter phone as it's advertised. But it does the job of being a phone just fine. I would buy it again.

  We purchased this phone for our 13 year old son.  We were looking for a smart phone that was tough enough to handle the rigors of an active young man.  The Razr M looked to fit the bill.  It has gorilla glass on one side and carbon fiber on the other.  What's not to like about this?On the third day of his use, he was taking it out of his pocket and it slipped out of his hand.  After a 2.5 foot drop onto a hardwood floor, the gorilla glass shattered like it was thrown in a parking lot.  We couldn't believe it.  The rest of the phone is absolutely pristine, but the glass is shattered.When we went back to the Verizon store, we were told that the gorilla glass is really good for resisting scratches and such, but will shatter quite easily.  Something I wish they would have told us when we were purchasing the thing.So, if you're thinking of purchasing this phone, make certain that you also purchase the toughest case so the delicate "gorilla" glass doesn't shatter in the event you place it on the table too hard.

  I had android phones in the past, and last year I purchased a Lumia 521 to check the Windows OS.  My 521 was smooth to use and didn't bog down.  The live tiles were pleasing to see.  I liked it better than my android.  The 521 had a 4 inch screen and a 5 MP camera which was ok.  I wanted to do an upgrade, mostly for the camera, but since I use WiFi and have a prepaid T-Mobile service, I didn't want to spend a ton of money on a top quality Nokia Windows phone.  Another plus for the Nokia phones is that it's Here Drive and Maps can be used without a data plan.  That's nice for us cheap prepaid folks.The Lumia 1020 & 1520 are too expensive and the 1320 has a 5 MP camera with an extra lens, so it is only a tad better.  I decided to try this unlocked 925 because the price was reasonable ($410 from FGS Trading) and it has an 8.7 MP PureView shooter and a 4.5 inch screen + it's an overall much better product than my 521.  My old android had a 5" screen that just fit into my pants pocket.  So, the 4.5 seems just right.The screen quality is stunning compared to my old 521.  Crystal clear and sharp with the clear black screen and 332 ppi.  I'm sure the 1520 and 1020 screens are better, but this 925 is pretty darn good, especially in outdoor sun light.  I put it in full sun and was able to see the screen clearly.  That was a surprise.I received the Black update a couple of days ago, which took 15 minutes to download.  It added some nice features to the camera and other items.  I played with these for a while, but I'm no Ansel Adams, so I'll stick to the basics.The camera does take a much better photo than my 521, which was my goal, and the video stabilizer works great.  The 925 shoots especially good in low light also.There are only two minor negative things about this phone.  One, the phone is thin and it has a smooth back which tends to be slippery.  I wish it was textured for a more comfortable grip.The second concern, a small one, is that I can't get it to keep time automatically.  It loses 5 seconds a day.  Not a major concern, since I simply undo and redo "Set time" in the date+time function.  If it becomes a pain, I may try a hard reset.Would I recommend this Lumia 925?  Damn right.

title: Best phone I've ever owned
text:
  So far this has been the best phone I have ever bought. I had the Iphone 3G that I could not update and so I pretty much only used it to text and call.  After purchasing this phone I saw everything that I had been missing on by holding on to an old phone for so long. I saw what phones are capable of these days. I had my eye on Android but I find the OS a little cluttered. Plus my Nook tablet is running Android and it is nothing special, so I gave the Windows OS a try and it is the smoothest OS I have used.  This Windows phone really gives you a bang for your buck. The camera quality is excellent. I am the type of student who likes to make copies of other people's notes and I must say that when I take pictures of the document, I can see every detail written on the page. It is crisp, clear, and very readable. I no longer have to bring yet another device with me to do a simple task. Years ago, I would take my digital camera, a phone, a tape recorder, an ipod, and a watch with me, but now, in 2013, the only thing I need is this phone. The mp3/mp4 player is excellent. Your music is nicely organized, which can be  loaded through a MicroSD card.  The application selection available through the Microsoft store is satisfactory. I have found an app. for every task that I need them for. Of course, the selection isn't as broad as that of the Itunes store but really, who needs that many? This phone also has a great GPS that has directed me to places I would never had visited otherwise. Another function that I like is the capability of sharing your internet. I am sharing my internet to write this  review on my tablet. The battery life is very good as well. To make it short, a pretty good phone with a nice OS, a great display, and excellent features.

  Bought 810 at the amazing 199 bucks without tax, I relly luv it in comparing my low-speed, tiny-screene and fragile iphone 4s(sorry Apple). Sad to hear that Nokia smartphone department will no longer exist, I think Lumia line will be shine in the future, but as you know,,,810 is especially perfect as your second phone used together with the current one, it has averaged profile but solid look, EXTREMLY easy to use by its fast respond rate. Other than those pros, let me roughly list its cons.- just acceptable screen resolution.- you might encounter some wifi connection probs.- not-so-good camera image result.- a little bit way bricky for some women and small-hands.- 8GB just way too unpractical when installing growing numbers of apps.- 3 days to get familiar with this os is needed.However, when everything comes to its price, thats fairly OKAY if ur not so picky.To wrap up, decent phone and good job t-mobile!!! :V

  Before jumping on this deal (i.e. $259 "for Nokia Lumia 810 8GB T-Mobile Phone with Windows 8 OS, 8MP Camera + Seconday 1.2MP Camera, Video, Dual-Core Processor, Dolby Sound Enhancement, Nokia ClearBlack Display, 4.3" AMOLED Touchscreen, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, MP3/MP4 Player, SNS Integration and microSD Slot up to 64GB - Black", and after deciding that you don't care if the phone is "unlocked" or not, then call up your Tmobile store and learn the Tmobile price for the same phone and features.  You will spend substantially less there, but the phone can only be used with a Tmobile account.  The phone is still available from Tmobile but you may have to call several stores to find one that has it in stock.

text:
  This phone has a bunch of software bugs - even in the newest software released a few months ago.The proximity sensor broke so it no longer locks the screen while in a call - often disconnects or redials during call.  Not sure if that's a hardware problem or software bug.The pictures / music often shows the same picture two or more times in the preview screen and sometimes loses pictures from the SD card.  Reception is so poor our company had to buy T-Mobile signal boosters so people with these phones could receive calls in the office.I'd recommend staying away from Nokia and Microsoft based on these experiences.

title: The ONE To Rule Them All
text:
  What is there to say about this phone? If I just write about it, I'm just going to ramble on and on. So to save everyone some grief, here are bullet points (my direct comparisons are to the iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S3 and Note 2, but mainly to the Galaxy S4):The Good:1) THE SCREEN: If there was such a better screen on a phone, I have not yet seen it. The iPhone 5 is lauded for its excellent screen, but at its current resolution, it trails behind the One's screen by far. Everything just POPS out at you. Even in direct sunlight, everything is CLEAR and BRIGHT. I really loved the Droid DNA/HTC Butterfly's screen, but once again HTC has outdone itself and given us a true masterpiece in 4.7" 1080p(468ppi) form. This is THE BEST screen on the planet right now - WOW!!!2) THE DESIGN/HARDWARE: Why do most reviewers laud the iPhone 5's aluminum construction so much, when it chips and nicks so easily?? If you want a true masterpiece in design and craftsmanship, look no further. The One feels THICK and TOUGH. I don't have to worry about carrying this around case-less(except from drops, which is a whole other case). I will not be worried about this phone nicking and scraping like the iPhone 5. Personally, it may not have the flair of some of the Sony and Nokia phone of the past, but in totality the One has the best combination of design and craftsmanship. It oozes style and sophistication(*cough*Samsung*ahem*).3) THE DUAL FRONT-FACING SPEAKERS: We have all been desensitized to the modern smartphones nowadays with their crappy, tinny, mono speaker. I remember the days of the Nokia n95 and n84 with their stereo speakers - whatever happened to phones after that? Whoever agreed to a mono/solo speaker with all the smartphones thereafter?? FINALLY, someone has the senses to come back to reality - thank you, HTC!. Trust me, your ears will thank you and you will realize all phones should have been made like this. Especially when you use ringtones/alerts that were specifically created for this phone, the sound is loud, immersive, expansive, and POPs into your ears. It's simply a re-revolution.4) THE CAMERA: I don't use my phone camera to make prints from photos, I have my dedicated cameras for that. So to me, the paramount function of phone cameras is the convenience/accessibility - it has to be able to capture what I want quickly and clearly, with decent enough quality to post online. Therefore, the 4MP size in the One's camera does not bother me at all. Who cares if the camera isn't THE BEST phone camera ever? Because it is not, but it is a GREAT low-light shooter, and to me that's more important than pixel count. The sensors in the camera are bigger than other phone cameras, therefore, it can capture a lot more light, which in laymen's terms it can give you better photos in more situations than other phone cameras can. Also, the touch spot focus is almost instantaneous - this camera is quick, quick, quick!5) For a near 5-incher, it's quite svelte, at least at the girth. It's easier to hold in the hand than the Samsung Galaxy S3/S4, and for sure a heckuva lot better than the Note 2. It fits in your hands nicely and securely, with just the right combination of size, weight, and balance.6) The UI and software design is now very minimal and simplistic. For better or for worse, if you are used to the old Sense UI's, you will need some readjusting. Personally, I like this new one better. If you're a casual news reader, then you'll like new default home screen which displays a gathering of news sources - some of its own partners, some for your Facebook and Twitter, etc. - to form a Flipboard style of news reader. Personally, I'm a huge Pulse news reader fan, so I only use that.The Bad and Ugly:1) The battery is only 2300mAh - I wish it was bigger because I'm one of those paranoid people who always needs my phone at fully charged, just in case, of you know, something. But so far it's been holding steady at about 40% at the end of the day(from 9am-6pm). I check emails, read the news, text, Facebook, etc. throughout the day - I would say that I'm a moderate to heavy user. Another bad thing that I've noticed is it charges slower than most other phones.2) Comparing features with the Samsung S4, the One is lacking. It's not a deal breaker, but for those who like fancy functions, the One will not make you as happy. The HTC One is very simple in its feature set. The one feature I miss most from the new Samsung phones is Smart Stay, where the phone can sense that you're looking at the screen, and won't dim/turn off the screen - that was a HUGE convenience for when you're watching a movie or reading the news.3) Like I wrote earlier, the size is both good and bad, and it's also heavier than most similar phones. It's taller than the S4, and with the power button up on top, it's almost impossible to do one-hand phone operations without shifting your hand up and down to accommodate both the screen gestures and buttons. The buttons(power and volume) don't protrude enough to make it easy to press them.All in all, I feel the combination of the One's screen, design/craftsmanship, and audio experience trumps over the Samsung S4's fancy functions. The S4's screen is almost just as good - AMOLED screens are known for their deep blacks and saturation, while the One's is much better in direct light. The S4 has a higher MP camera, therefore able to take better photos in broad daylight, while the One's camera is more versatile and MUCH better in low light conditions. The One has a much better audio experience, while the S4 gives you better convenience with its features - userability goes to the S4 for sure.But in the end, considering the totality of things, I feel the HTC One provides me the best TOTAL experience, and is the king of the smartphones right now.

  I absolutely can not stand this phone. It is full of glitches even though I turn it off and reset it as suggested. It frequently freezes to the point where I don't feel safe traveling with it because it can't be trusted. Sometimes it takes forever to do something simple, like open up a text message. I don't download silly games on my phone either. It can get stuck while sliding it open to the point of where it flips out of my hands. I think this is the phone that will turn me away from androids all together and toward an iPhone.

  I got this new-age basic phone for my mom. Windows Phone OS is great to teach to an elderly newbie. I was always confident about OS,as I personally use a Lumia phone. Hardware and performance is what has surprised me. Extermely satisfied with it. Speakers are great. Flash light is missing but I didn't see issue when clicking lowlight indoor snaps. Screen could have been better but won't crib about it given that the price of phone is this less.Phone was unlocked as said.

title: Not easy to activate, but worth it I think...
text:
  OK, this is going to sound incredibly ironic I know...But I am a U.S. citizen living in South Korea, land of Samsung and LG.  When I wanted to buy a replacement handset for use in South Korea...I ordered a "made in Korea" handset from the United States, and had it shipped...back to Korea where it came from!!!  :)Now people reading this are wondering...why the HECK would I do that?  Well the great irony of living in Korea is that most Korean products are more expensive than they are in the United States.  For example, if you want to buy a Hyundai automobile...you can pay $30,000 USD in the United States...or you can buy the same exact model Korean car for the equivalent of about $40,000 USD in Korea.  Go figure...Cell phones are even worse.  Any decent android phone starts around equivalent of USD $800...and goes MUCH more expensive.  I'm not talking about the latest and greatest, either.  Right now, you need to fork out (the equivalent of) about USD $800 to get a Galaxy S2 (brand new, without contract) in South Korea.  To put that in perspective, the Galaxy S4 was just released.  You do NOT want to know how much that costs!!!I knew the level of "performance" I was aiming for.  To get a decent android handset in Korea, I would have to spend at least USD $1000 (equivalent) OR fork out several hundred dollars AND sign a two-year contract.  No thank you...So I did extensive research to determine if a factory unlocked phone (say, from Amazon) would work in South Korea.  Based on my extensive research, the answer was NO.  Even some of my friends living in Korea forever told me that it wasn't possible.  But I did it anyway.  :)  On paper at least, many of the factory unlocked handsets sold on Amazon SHOULD work in Korea.  Technically speaking, there is nothing that would prevent them from working on Korean cell phone networks.  I decided to take a chance, as I needed two android phones (one for my wife) and did not feel like spending 2000 USD to buy them.OK, to review the phone...The phone is FANTASTIC!!!  It is the functional equivalent of a Samsung Galaxy SIII, or a Samsung Galaxy "Grand" Duo.  The performance is incredible...no lag on anything.  It has a nice camera that takes GOOD digital pictures.  The size is right...small enough to be used one-handed comfortably.  And yet, large enough to do some web surfing on the go.  I get lots of comments on it... it is a very impressive phone with good features and good performance.  :)  The battery life is phenomenal for an android device.  As I'm sure most are aware, any good android device will need to be charged every day, sometimes more than once a day.  I can get two days' use out of the P715 with extensive web surfing.  I've got a 16GB Sandisk ultra-fast Micro-SD memory card installed...will probably never run out of storage space.  This handset performs better than a Samsung Galaxy SIII...and it is cheaper.  I'd say it is a GREAT bargain.For comparison purposes, the other models I considered buying were a Samsung Galaxy SIII Mini, a Samsung Galaxy Grand Duo, Another LG model with slightly larger screen (P768, something like that) and a Google Nexus 4 (made by LG).  I ruled out the Nexus for a couple of reasons.  First, the price was considerably higher.  Based on reviews, I WOULD have been willing to buy the Nexus 4 anyway.  But the Nexus 4 has a battery that can't be replaced by the user.  So that was a deal-breaker, there.  I can't believe Google / LG created such an awesome phone (the nexus 4) with such a glaring weakness!!!  I could not really find anything "wrong" with any of the other models I was considering.  I almost went with the slightly larger LG model.  But in the end, the dual sim capability AND large (enormous) battery were enough to convince me to go with the P715 by LG.No regrets.  I got Samsung Galaxy SIII performance for less money.  A LOT less, as I would have paid about four times as much for a similar android device in Korea!Now, on activation...  (Keep in mind this is activation procedure on SK Telecom or KT / Olleh network in South Korea)Activation was a bit of a headache and not a straight-forward procedure.  I had a Samsung Galaxy which was slowly fading on me.  It needed to be replaced.  It had a (properly activated) SK Telecom sim in it.  When the LG P715 handsets arrived (two of them, remember...one white and one blue but looks black...) I popped my SK Telecom sim into the white one and NOTHING.  Actually, wading through all the various settings menus...I could see that the phone was connected to SK telecom somehow...but I had no data flow and (zero) signal strength showing, and I got the "emergency calls only" message on the home screen.  :(So, I put the SK Telecom sim back into the (failing) Samsung Galaxy, and the sim worked fine.  Not a sim problem, obviously.So then I took the (now simless) LG P715 to a SK Telecom store.  I told the ladies there that I wanted a new phone number on SK Telecom.  They said "no problem sir" and proceeded to pop a new SK Telecom sim into the LG P715.  They didn't have any better luck with it than I did.  They could not get the LG P715 to work on SK Telecom network.  They tried for about 20 minutes, and gave up.  I asked if my handset (LG P715) could not be activated on SK Telecom.  The girl responded, "I'm not sure...maybe another cell phone store could activate it?"  In other words, she did not want to be bothered with it.Next day, I took it to another SK Telecom store.  I told the guy there that I wanted a new phone number on SK Telecom.  He looks at my handset and asks, "where did you get THIS???"  I tell him I ordered it from the U.S.  And after looking it over for a bit, he has me fill out some paperwork.  He faxes the paperwork somewhere, installs a new sim card in the handset... and then we wait for a return phone call.  After about 20 minutes, we are still waiting for a return phone call.  So he calls SK Telecom and speaks to them in Korean for a bit.  And then he hangs up with a puzzled expression on his face, and tells me..."SK Telecom can not activate this phone because they say it was not made in Korea".  So I grab the box and we both read the side of the box...and it says "Made in Korea".  (Well it IS LG...so yeah...)  So he calls them back and speaks with them a bit and they ask for some more information from the handset.  In about another 10 minutes...the phone is activated.  YAY!!!  Or so I thought...Took it home, used it for a few days.  Installed many of my favorite apps on it.  It seemed to be working fine.  Only, I was so busy that few days, that I did not really have time to use it "outside".  I was always connected to WiFi.  Then I finally realized that for phone and text, it's working great...but I haven't tried data on it.  So I turn the WiFi off and...no data.Long story short...I take it back to the SK Telecom store several times over the next few days, and the guy is very persistent in trying to get it to work...but he finally gives up.  :(He suggests maybe I should try to activate the phone on KT / Olleh.  OK, so far I'd only been playing with the white one.  The other one (blue, but looks black) was still in the unopened box.  I realized that IF I could get it activated on KT / Olleh, that is the one that I would want to be carrying myself.  So I took the brand new, never used handset to the KT / Olleh store.There were three young ladies working at the KT / Olleh store.  I told one I wanted a new phone number on this handset (and handed it to her).  She again asked me where I got it.  (Does it matter???  HaHa...)  But then she just presented me with a wide range of calling plans to choose from.  I chose one that is about the equivalent of $50USD monthly, with unlimited data.Long story short here...it took about 30 minutes and all three young ladies working together to get the LG P715 activated on KT / Olleh network in South Korea.  But it is working!!!Since it has been activated, I have not had a problem with it.  It is super fast on download speeds connected to KT / Olleh network in South Korea.  And of course, it makes phone calls and sends/receives texts.As a funny side note, I took my OLD phone back to the SK Telecom store.  There, the lady (who had tried to activate my LG P715 on SK Telecom) noticed that I was using my LG P715 on KT / Olleh.  She asked me where I'd taken it to get it activated.  She was AMAZED that the KT store right down the street from her was able to get my handset activated with a KT / Olleh sim card.  :)  I only took my old phone back to the SK Telecom store as I was told I had to visit an SK Telecom store in person to cancel my SK Telecom service.  How annoying.  But the look on the SK Telecom lady's face was PRICELESS when she saw the LG P715 working well on KT / Olleh.  :)Summary of the cell phone handset LG P715:  It is FANTASTIC.  Worth much more than you will pay for it.  IT performs better than many android handsets costing a lot more money.  A great bargain!  Buy it...you will LOVE IT!!!Summary of activating the cell phone handset LG P715:  (let's face it...the cell phone handset is useless without the cell phone network)It will take some persistence.  If you think you are just going to pop an activated sim into it and use it, think again.  while I did not have a lot of free time to work on the project, it took me a couple of weeks to get ONE of my two handsets FULLY functional.  The other one is still (NO DATA).  But at least now I know who to take that handset to, to FIX that...Haha...Summary of South Korea Telecom providers:Very hostile to cell phone handsets that were not made in Korea.  A similar situation might be if you went to register your Mercedes car in Denver, Colorado...and the clerk there told you that you could not get plates for it because you bought a German made vehicle.  South Korean cell phone providers only want to activate cell phones "made in Korea".  And even then...only certain specific models.It took a bit of arm-twisting to sneak this handset onto a KT / Olleh telecom contract, even though it is made in Korea.  And SK Telecom?  Virtually impossible, it seems...For those who have never been to Korea, but are familiar with United States Telecom companies...Verizon and AT&T are to the United States...What KT / Olleh and SK telecom are to South Korea.Final word:  BUY!!!

title: Great phone But !!!
text:
  Really was excited to get this phone versus the crappy Go phone I needed to purchase in a bind. First the phone is lightweight and not oversized but neither too small also. Bought this unlocked phone for use on AT&T and setup with Sim Card from original Go phone, I immediately was able to connect to Wifi and it had great response for navigating and so forth. Unfortunately no phone signal and I must have a AT&T Microcell booster in my place for any kind of service, so long story short with probably an hour on the phone with AT&T tech support who tried deligently to figure out with no success I went to local AT&T store who immediatly got phone signal.Success short lived got back home no signal, back to Tech support another 20 minutes plus and he figured out issue. Be very cautious when reading specs and not all specs related to this phone are specified correctly, unfortunately where I purchased it from, it did not specify that with service with GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - SIM 1 & SIM 2 its only 2G, it is 3G but only with HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100.  Sadly my Microcell only works with 3G so no signal again with this in my house. And I'll have to exchange for something specific to my network, but I think this phone is a really great phone otherwise, just be cautious when purchasing and expecting it to work well with AT&T.

title: HTC Droid DNA - Large Screen - Lightweight - Great Sound - Excellent phone for my needs
text:
  Three months ago I let a salesman talk me into 'upgrading' from my tried and trusted HTC Incredible 2 (3G) to a LG Lucid (4G) at "no cost"... right. The cost of frustration quickly outweighed the 'free' purchase; in my humble opinion, the Lucid has a horrible user interface while its software is insufficient and not user friendly at all.  When I made that switch, was visiting a VZW store with a friend and just hanging out as she upgraded her phone... so that's what I get for not doing research before purchasing.After just a month of using that Lucid, I performed enough research to decide that the HTC Droid DNA was a proper replacement and have had two months or relative bliss so far. Am very happy to have made the switch to the DNA, and here are my observations after two months of DNA use:The DNA is extremely easy to use, it has an outstanding virtual keyboard and perfect touchscreen alignment, the Jelly Bean software provides access to the nitty-gritty level of function settings but it is easy to use and understand, the DNA has plenty of pages to store apps on, and (for me) this phone truly has excellent battery life. The on/off button is located on the top of the DNA and that is perfect for me - the Lucid was on the side, and I was always fumbling with it and hitting other switches (like volume)instead.Battery life of the DNA seems to be a point of weakness for other reviewers, but has not been an issue for me. Yes, initially the battery lasted about one day (I'd charge it about 10PM each night), but I'd used the Easy Battery Saver app before and installed it pronto -- now the battery lasts an average of 1.5 to 2 days (usage depending of course). That is more than acceptable to me given the large screen size and my usage tendencies.The resolution of the DNA's 5-inch diagonal screen is absolutely amazing, and the phone's body is incredibly thin and lightweight compared to others I have had (Motorola Droid, Droid X, HTC Eris, Incredible 2 and the Lucid). Texting is very simple, email setup was a breeze, and it works perfectly with Google Maps (Navigator).The DNA's sound is very good; its says that sound it driven by Dre "beatsAudio" components and I believe it as the audio is very good in standalone mode, or when hooked to portable speakers like the HDMX Jam (HMDX Audio HX-P230BL JAM Classic Bluetooth Wireless Speaker (Blueberry)) or the XBOOM Mini (XBOOM Mini Portable Capsule Speaker with Rechargeable Battery and Enhanced Bass+ Resonator - Black).There are two areas of concern that come up most often in reviews:(a) The DNA does not have a port for an expandable sim card... OK, but that has yet to be an issue for us as we use streaming apps and cloud services to host most big storage items like movies (Amazon and Netflix), music (Amazon and Pandora), pictures (Photobucket) and videos (YouTube).(b) The DNA does not have a removable battery... OK, maybe that could become and issue, we shall see. We have other phones whose batteries died after about two years use and we replaced those batteries with great success. Will be curious to see what happens in a couple years, but then we've been swapping out old phones for newer models in less time than that recently (so maybe that is the strategy here).How could it be better? Well, just like other Verizon offerings it does come preloaded with apps that you can't get rid of like Verizon Navigator, IMDb, Skype, Movie Editor, Slacker Radio, Books, Facebook, Reign of Amira, Amazon Kindle, NFL Mobile, Teeter, Zappos and other byte stealers that I really do not care about using on my phone... would be nice to be able to delete them altogether, but hiding them works OK too.If you are looking for a phone to replace the one you currently have, and are looking for a phone with great software, apps, visuals and sound... without breaking the bank... than I recommend this phone to you based on my experience with it.Highly recommended.

title: S4 Mini - An excellent purchase!
text:
  I'm extremely happy with my order! ^_^It arrived on time through amazon prime, and I had no issues at all. I got the right model, the battery and everything else seems to be operating well, and I'm happy with my purchase.My only issue was the charger; although it came with a changeable adapter, it doesn't quite stay on, it always pops back out. The charger is a UK charger but they included an adapter piece for those with US type of outlets, but like I said previously it doesn't quite stay on the way it should. However this is a minor issue.Coming a from a Blackberry it was a bit of a difference, but I absolutely love this device. The one thing I wish it did have though was the notification light but other than that its a truly customizable phone.I was a little worried when I read that some persons got the wrong version, but everything has been working quite well so far. So I'm happy.

title: Awesome phone, but battery life could be better
text:
  When I just got it, the battery life sucked. As in, I charged it fully right before going to bed and when I woke up the phone was completely dead. Turns out that it just has to be fully cycled (I.e. fully charged and discharged) about 3 times before it fully starts to retain charge normally.Even under normal circumstances, the charge only lasts like 3 days max and I dont use it too heavily.I am on WIFI mostly and I disabled GPS and a few other services to preserve power.This is my first Android phone, so I am not sure if this is common, but my ipod and ipad hold charge much longer - on average a week or more - with similar usage patterns.Overall though, I am coming from a blackberry curve - so this is a major step up. I am quite happy.

text:
  WOW. This phone actually fits in your hand! Although it has a 4.3" screen, it is narrower than the original Galaxy S1 (Captivate, Vibrant, etc.) as well as the Galaxy S3 mini. What else? Great specs! This is a really fast and powerful phone, WITH an MicroSD card slot. While not as fast as the full-sized S4, it is faster than the S3, and many other phones on the market. That, along with TouchWiz UI, plus the option to install CyanogenMod (Stock Android ROM), and you have a really nice phone. The only cons are the screen resolution and the bundled software. The screen is not HD, but really, it's fine. 16:9 videos look great and fit edge-to-edge. As far as software, the phone comes preloaded with a lot of garbage that cannot be removed without rooting, but it still runs fast, and the apps can be hidden from the app drawer. The phone also has NFC, eye tracking, and plenty of other gimmicks... and the price is right, so what's there not to like?

text:
  Average review not for the device itself, which is actually a fine smartphone.I was upgrading from the HTC HD7, I wanted to get a WP8 device, and the Lumia 520 was specced appropriately for my use. The price here seemed reasonable for a last-gen phone, and although I assumed I wouldn't be getting a retail-packaged device, I did kinda expect a brand new OEM-packaged US unit. What I actually got was a Canadian-branded (Koodoo) pay-as-you-go package that had quite clearly been returned (the blister pack had been re-taped where it was sliced and the inner plastic was crumpled and dirty). The phone itself was clean enough and everything works fine. I've hooked it up to StraightTalk and it's actually a great phone - much faster than my HD7 and some great new features in WP8.I just thought folks should be aware that you may not get a brand new device, even though I didn't see anything on the product page to indicate it was used.

  I like Windows Phone, but since this is the Euro version I can not use it to it's full 3G speeds (900/2100). This was my fault for not asking the seller the version. I kept the phone as a backup.  Since this is the low end of the WP you do not get the  all the features like the  more costly ones. It would be nice to have a flash with the camera. Just remember to check with your provider as to make sure you get the right version.  Will be purchasing a higher end WP in the near future.The questions always comes up about the apps and Windows has plenty of apps, Android has duplication and sometime simple is better....

  This item is in good quality. Even though this is a cheap cell phone, I can still experience many Nokia and Microsoft apps. It's totally beyond my expectation.

title: The jury is still out on this phone
text:
  I really wanted to give this phone 4 stars, but due to an extremely aggravating bug in the OS, I cannot. I bought this phone the first week it was available in the US, to replace my existing Nokia Astound (8GB, 8MP camera, Symbian OS). Mainly I wanted a larger, crisp screen and a more customizable interface, and of course a nice camera. WP and the Nokia Lumia 925 seemed to offer all of this, and indeed it does.In retrospect, I now realize that the trouble started one night in mid-September when I was exploring the different menus of the WP OS. I stumbled upon the very last item on the App list, "Wi-Fi Calling." I had never had a cell phone that was even capable of Wi-Fi calling, so I was intrigued. There are three settings offered: "Wi-Fi Preferred", "Cellular Preferred", or "Wi-Fi Only." Actually there is a fourth setting: Wi-Fi Calling "On" or "Off". I didn't really trust the technology yet, so changed the setting from "Wi-Fi Preferred" to "Cellular Preferred." Over the next month, a very aggravating thing began happening: I would pull out my phone to make a call, and get a "No Cellular Service" message. Or a message stating "You are in Airplane Mode". Or, "Cellular Service is turned off, do you want to turn cellular service on?" Reasonable responses to all of these messages never resulted in re-engagement of the cellular signal. In fact, I gradually discovered that the only thing that would return cellular service was to turn the phone off and then turn it back on, whereupon it immediately resumed its normal functions.I began missing phone calls from friends and relatives. Sometimes over a day would pass before I would realize my phone was no longer functioning as a phone. It was infuriating and extremely disappointing. I found myself apologizing to people who were trying to get ahold of me. Texts would not come through either, while it was locked into this Wi-Fi calling hell on earth. Naturally, the only time I got frustrated enough to take it back to the store was after I had re-booted it, and so it worked fine while I was at the store.I finally did some online searching, and actually stating my problem using ask.com revealed the answer: Choosing "Cellular Preferred" causes your phone to lock into Wi-Fi calling mode. I have turned off Wi-Fi calling completely, and plan never to use it again. It's not worth almost having a nervous breakdown over. I want to like this phone, but right now it is in the dog house, and it's going to have to work to earn my trust back.

title: Great Uncomplicated OS - Jury is still out on the hardware/firmware
text:
  Bought this phone for my wife who was complaining about the complexity of the Android ecosystem. Really, she couldn't care less about multiple apps or widgets or rooting her phone. She just wants Facebook status updates, a decent Contacts app in a form factor that is somewhat smaller than the recent spate of monster-sized Android phones. (As an aside, personally, I use either a Galaxy Note 2 or a Galaxy S4, both rooted - she wants nothing to do with all that).This phone fit the bill perfectly. After a bit of a learning curve, she fell into a routine with this phone. Call quality is great. The keyboard is spot-on perfect for her smaller hands. She loves this phone.Well, she loves it when it works, anyway.Lately, this phone has been powering off at strange times. Sometimes it requires a soft reset to bring it back. Other times, simply plugging it into the charger is enough to bring it back to life. After a quick trip through the Googles, I'm finding that we're waiting for a specific over-the-air firmware update to resolve this problem.Thing is, that firmware update hasn't hit her phone yet. So...the waiting game.If your phone's OS is  8.0.10327.78, you are still waiting for the firmware update.Aside from this absolutely MAJOR issue with the phone's stability, its a wonderful flagship device for Windows Phone 8. Its really too bad that people don't give it a fair shake. Its not nearly as feature rich as a Droid, nor does it have as many apps as an iPhone. But there are just certain people out there who really...don't care about all that. They want the uncomplicated basics. Most of those people buy iPhones because family insists or have Androids foisted upon them by overeager Best Buy geeks. (nothing against the geeks - I am one)Those people should be looking at Windows Phone 8. And provided they get a phone that isn't broken right off the bat, I think they'll enjoy the experience.

  The phone is great, but there was an issue with the listing. The vendor mistakenly listed it as an I9295 - the international version of the Galaxy S4 Active. It was in fact an I537 - the ATT model. It was, as listed, not locked to the ATT network, which is what I wanted, so I was not impacted as much as I might have been by the mistake. The vendor did send a couple of nice accessories to apologize for the mistake. They were quite responsive, and I will use them again.

  I bought my HTC 8x new from a retail seller on Amazon. It was new and unopened. However, after 4 months, the three buttons on the bottom stopped functioning. I have never dropped it and always take great care of it. I thought HTC has good quality, but this happened within 4 months! So I sent it back to HTC and provided all receipts to proof that I only had this for 4 months, HTC still wants to charge me since HTC does not cover phones not purchased from Amazon. Be aware of it! It may stop function in a short time, and if you are going to buy it from any other sellers , check with them first to see if your phone is covered with warrantee.

  Hi, I just ordered the Samsung Galaxy S4 active from mercate group. I absolutely love the phone but do have one major issue. Every time I make a call without using the loud speakers or the headset, there is a very annoying echo which the other party can constantly hear in the background of the conversation. I tried to call different numbers, restarted the phone and checked for updates. Nothing helps. I literally just got the phone a couple of days ago. Does anyone else have the same problems?

title: Tons of problems
text:
  I unfortunately kept this phone a few days past the time period where I could return it to AT&T and so now I'm stuck with it and looking for another phone.The reason I bought this phone over the iPhone is that it has expandable storage with a micro SD card up to 64Gb.  Well, the micro SD storage doesn't work!!!  Over the last 2 weeks I've tried 6 different SD cards... I can get all of my music and movies on the card, but the movies don't play and the music will suddenly disappear from the phone... no kidding!  I had 32 Gb of music on the phone and the next morning it was down to 3.2Gb, the rest of it just disappeared from the card!  I reloaded and lost the music about 20 times on several different brands of SD cards proving that the issue is with the phone.  You can put movies and music on the internal memory and that works fine but you only have 8 Gig to use.  Also, you cannot move Apps to the SD card.I thought initially I had a bad SD card... but then after trying 6 different cards, I googled the issue and found that its a very common problem with the phone that Samsung has yet to acknowledge.The other features like Smart Screen and Air View are cool, but they don't work consistently and are pretty much useless so I turned them off.  I had smart screen on and my movies would p+ause even if I didn't look away - that gets really annoying after a few minutes so much of this technology sounds great, but not practical as it is still buggy.One final thing; I dropped the phone off the table and now the corner is bent, this phone is not very sturdy so be careful.

text:
  I ordered a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini on 10/6.  When I received the cellphone I knew that it needs a micro sim card, I called T-mobile to sent me a micro sim card. It took 10 days usps deliver.I got it and I started to use it on 10/16. After 9 days,on 10/25 I found there was a dark shadow in the left corner of the screen. . ( I didn't drop it  or any accident with it)  The dark shadow always right there no matter how I try to get rid of it. The seller said that I couldn't return it because I already pass the 14 days defective return period.  Now I must use a new cellphone with problem screen. I would never bought any cellphone online.

  Really like it! It is very light and in the size I want! I do not like those huge phones. I can't even hold them in one hand. This one is perfect for me. Also, it is very fast.But there are two problems. One is the introduction about this item does not mention about the internal memory. It is 8G so if you want a bigger one, maybe you need to find others.The other is sometimes it does not work smoothly when I play games on it (Candy Crush). I don't know why, maybe it's the network problem.Overall, I recommend you to buy this if you need a cute, light, normal size and functional phone.

I tried all sorts of apn settings, and I am not able to get HSPA+ with ATT LTE plan. Without HSPA+, the speed is capped at around 1.8MBps download and 700Kbps upload.2. The power button is on the right side, and for a few times, I  restarted the phone by accidentally  pressing the power button.3. It's kinda of  slippery.

title: A VERY Special & UNIQUE smart phone!
text:
  With so many smart phone choices why choose this one? More importantly, DON'T get locked into a two year contract and over-pay hundreds of dollars. BUY THE PHONE YOU LIKE, then choose the service that fits your needs, Better yet, for $20 take your 'old' number and port it to Google Voice, then forward that number to your 'new' smart phone... so features like text messages of your voicemails become active. But mainly, buy a great phone like the GT-i9192 from Samsung... because:First, size. This phone can fit in my shirt pocket... an absolute must. I don't want a phone bigger than my hand. If you are considering a new phone - size should be your first factor to determine.Second, Android operating system versus Apple. A personal choice for anyone, but there is more 'free' stuff for Android.Third, DUAL SIM SLOTS. Why would you want this? Because this phone can be TWO PHONES IN ONE. So, if you're a businessman or doctor, and don't want to carry two phones (one for work and one for personal) this is PERFECT. If you use the same service provider for both SIMs you can keep both active at the same time and switch between them.If you are trying a new service for the first time, like me, and are unsure of reception, and are hesitant to instantly 'switch' without trying the 'new service' first, then this phone is great!  I tested the 'Simple Mobile' service for a month, then dropped ATnT after giving them thousands dollars over the years, and put the 'old' SIM card in with my new one so I had all my contacts and info instantly on my Samsung. What a great feeling!This phone is for the AMERICAS, NOT EUROPE, NOT AFRICA (like some people are saying they heard from 'Samsung' service folks).  It states this very clearly on the outside of the box.This phone is 3G only... NOT 4G.  This is OK for me because I am not going to watch streaming video on this small screen, nor do I send (or receive) large files.  This means you have greater service range because 3G is nearly everywhere, versus 4G (even though 4G service will drop to 3G if 4G is not found... I know).  In the USA, this phone works fantastic with t-mobile and it's derivatives metro pcs and simple mobile (which I use and like).Icing on the cake: purchase a pair of bluetooth (wireless) headphones (like the Sol Republic / Motorola pair) and enjoy music without wires... and when a phone call comes, it mutes the music, announces the call, and when the call ends, the music starts up where it stopped. How absolutely wonderful!

title: Good phone with a unbearable wifi issue
text:
  This is a great phone overall but it has a very annoying bug that led me to get rid of it: the wifi drops continually when doing network intensive stuff on some routers (you can google this if you want). It reconnects inmediately but if you're skyping your phone call gets interrupted. Same thing if you're playing. Samsung apparently claims that it is the routers manufactrer's fault but that kind of thing has never happened with any other device in my highly connected house. My router is ZyXEL, in forums I saw that there was other router brand confirmed to have this happen too. It's a shame, it is a great phone but wifi issues of this kind are unnaceptable. The dual sim feature is well implemented and very flexible: you can use one sim for data the other for phone. There's a set of sim icons to choose from for each sim. I didn't like that there must be always a sim icon on the notification bar (very annoying) but nothing that you can't get used to. Unfortunately the wifi issue spoils all this for me. Buy at your own risk.

So when I got this phone I put my mexican chip in it and then I bought a chip in Germany and put it in the second slot, I got both lines working without a problem. The only thing that I don't like is that sometimes the phone freezes for no apparent reason, it's kind of anoying but it doesn't happen that often. So, I belive that for the price it's a pretty good phone, nothing super flashy but it does the job well enough.

  I purchased this because I wanted a dual sim phone. I had problems out of the box and wanted technical support. Unfortunately since the international version comes from the United Kingdom you have to call England for assistance.It is a nice phone but I returned and purchased a Galaxy Note III

  Bout this phone around December and I am a very happy satisfied customer. Very happy with my purchase. Got it cut on with bring your own phone straight talk activation!!! Out of the 4 SIM cards that came with the bring your own phone activation, I had to put the t-mobile sim in the phone, I told myself I don't want t-mobile towers I want AT&T, we'll, I called straight and they took me from point a to point b to set-up my samsung galaxy mega gt-i9152 and even told me the settings to change in order to get picture mail and Internet and AT&T towers, had no problems, I've read reviews of other comments of problems with picture mail and internet, problem solved, just ask them to help you with those settings!!! Great buy for me!!!!

text:
  I love old classic movies. In those movies it was not unusual to see an old-fashioned rotary dial phone used as a murder weapon. Over the years I've noticed that as phones have become smaller, lighter, and flimsier, so have the movies. Lately, though, smart phones have grown larger and bulkier, most notably this Samsung Galaxy Mega.  Now that we once again have phones that can be used as a bludgeon, I feel a surge of hope that movies, too, might regain their former weight and substance. Thanks Samsung!

title: YELLOW TINTED PHOTOS GOT FIXED BY THE RECENT NOKIA BLACK UPDATE! CHEERS!
text:
  Everyone, I'm glad to announce that they actually fixed the "yellow-tint" pictures on the Nokia Lumia 1020 by this recently released update on AT&T users called "The Nokia Black Update" release date December 19, 2013. So I tested the camera and little by little, those yellow-tinted problems have gone away so "CHEERS" Nokia and Microsoft, I apologies if I gave it a 1/5 star on my rating because its frustrating at first but I changed it recently thanks to that recently released black update. Now and forever I'm a Nokia fan and a Microsoft product user, I'm still testing the phone so I only gave it a 4/5 stars for now and might comeback again in a few days to test out the black update on the Lumia 1020. Who knows, I might give it a complete 5/5 star rating. Keep up the good work Microsoft and Nokia! Thanks so much.------- IGNORE MY REVIEW BELOW ----------- FOR NOWI recently have something of a problem in taking photos! All of my pictures have a yellow-tint that mixes with the white color... and in the commercials they always say its the best camera, shame on you NOKIA! I have a lot of respect before, and even bought 2 of your flagship phones, not its your fault this issue was hidden to the masses...  BEWARE, IT DESTROYS YOUR PICTURE AND MIXES YELLOW during post processing of the photo... regardless whether or not with flash or not! SHAME! SHAME!I HOPE THIS REVIEW WILL HELP NOKIA DO SOMETHING CAUSE THEY CALL THIS THE BEST CAMERA PHONE AND I FOOLISHLY BELIEVED IT... This yellow-tint photos that I keep getting, but how come the Nokia Lumia 1520 (which I bought too) is not experiencing this??? See how loyal a customer I am to you NOKIA! I bought "two" phones on Amazon and AT&Ts... SHAME ON YOU NOKIA! FIX THIS PLEASE, READ THE COMMENTS ELSEWHERE (i.e, Nokia Forums, WPcentral, etc, every websites brought up the issue, except here!) CAUSE AMAZON IS A PART OF THIS!

  I have this as well as the flagship HTC One M7. The M7 I use primarily in the States and this one, the M4 model, I use abroad as it's unlocked.  Long story short here's the breakdown.Do your homework and compare the tech specs between the M4 and M7.You'll notice some differences on paper however when you use it in the real world the M4 is nearly identical.Pros:- Ergonomic in one hand (Size is perfect, not too big but not too small at the same time)- Brilliant display (HD display, less PPI than the M7 but still excellent, you wont notice a difference)- Sound quality is excellent (Beats Audio & the speakers are in the right direction)- Lightweight (comfortable to use and hold)- Premium feel with the aluminum body (unlike cheap feeling samsungs)- Camera is excellent, even without OIS (4 Ultrapixel - No OIS)Cons: *These are just for my taste, but for others they may not be a concern...- 16GB Storage is the only option (The OS takes about 5GBs)- 1GB Ram (Phone sometimes lags under HEAVY use, not always a problem but worth mentioning)Despite these two cons, I say I love this one a bit more than the M7...

title: Great Phone
text:
  First off, this is a great phone for someone who wants a simple,durable, and reliable phone.The Good:+Works with AT&T 3G and works as a VERY fast modem when you connect it to your computer.  Also works with T-Mobile, but you may not get 3G in your area, but you will get EDGE at the very least, which is more than enough when using the phone's built in browser.+Speaker is fairly loud and better than other basic Nokia's.+Camera is good and fast for a 3.2MP, also has extra features like panoramic and self-portrait.+Battery life is GREAT. Will last 4 days easily with moderate to heavy use and probably a week or more with light use.+Build Quality. This thing is built like a tank and the keyboard feels great. This thing will outlast any drop, maybe even a bullet...But there are a few minor issues.The Bad:-There is no volume rocker. You use the D-Pad when in a call, but you cannot adjust the volume when in any application. Like web browsing or reading text messages.-No multi-tasking. Not a big deal, but if you are in the browser or using an application like Google Maps, you cannot activate the loudspeaker unless you exit the application while still in the phone call. Also you must exit any application/game to read a text message and reload the application/game again.Other Small Issues:=Camera has no autofocus or flashlight.=No Wi-Fi. Not a big deal, especially if you have 3G service in your area.=Limited tethering capabilities. You can tether to an Android device and use it as a portable modem using BlueVPN, but you will have limited capabilities.Overall, this is an amazing phone if you want a simple, elegant and durable phone. The features are better than other basic phones and this phone is very fast. Another Nokia phone to consider is the Nokia C2-01. It has the same camera, but it has a smaller screen and the 3G is not as fast. The C2-01 is a better option for those who like to tether their phone to iPods and Andoids and also for those who like to hack into their phone to customize it and add multi-tasking.5 Stars for the Nokia 301, it is truely a great phone.

title: Best phone in the semi-smart category
text:
  This phone is all about the battery life.  The specs are a laughable 48 days (just like iPhone 5 say it lasts 9 days when in reality people get 1).  On my Nokia Asha 501 (using T-Mobile) I got 3 full days using internet, downloading apps, wi-fi and bluetooth on and a call time of about 30 minutes before getting the battery low warning.  Then I turned wi-fi and bluetooth off and with 30 minutes talk time I got a respectable 6.5 days before battery low warning.  This battery performance is about identical to my old Nokia C3 but this phone has advantages over it (such as bigger number keys for dialing - the C3 had tiny keys like a Blackberry).I thought text messaging would be a problem with such a small screen but it works better than I expected.  In portrait mode keyboard you can expect more errors than in landscape but with practice it gets very usable.The call quality is good in quiet environments but I find it doesn't filter noise very well.  You may have more problem than usual having a conversation if music is playing in the background or you are in a crowd of noisy people.The camera takes grainy off-color pictures that is good enough for taking funny throw away pictures or documenting a car wreck for insurance but it really isn't good enough for photos you want to keep.This really isn't an apps phone.  About half the apps I tried didn't work and the other half weren't that useful (and the selection is very limited).  The calendar doesn't sync with gmail calendar and the battery check goes down in 25% increments.  Emails thru gmail work and there was a nice weather channel app that works well.  Internet works but with a tiny screen it would be for emergencies only.The ring tones and background images on the phone are terrible so expect to have to download these.There is a handy summary screen that shows all of your recent activity so you don't forget a call, message, email or something.  If you want privacy this is not the phone for you because your history can't be hidden (beyond locking the phone).This phone isn't for everyone, but if you are like me and value 6.5 days of dependability and still want a few niceties of a smart phone then there really is nothing better out there.  Now that Nokia got bought by Microsoft this is probably the end of the line for Asha phones so if you want one I would recommend buying it sooner rather than later.

title: Not considered a smart phone by AT&T so NO REQUIRED DATA PLAN
text:
  I've been searching a long time for a phone that has wifi but doesn't require a data plan. These days everyone has a smartphone and cell phone service companies are totally milking it by requiring all smart phones to have a data plan. There's already wifi hotspots everywhere so mobile data isn't something I'd want to make my parents pay for. However, I was getting sick of my old Z431 that didn't even have proper typing. The Nokia Asha 501 provided me with everything I was looking for: good calls, threaded text messaging, expandable memory, good music player, wifi and internet browser, and camera and many more pluses.There are still small improvements that Nokia could make to the OS but so far so great. Here's a forum with a bunch of suggestions by users: http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Asha-and-other-Nokia-Series-30/Asha-501-Problems-Compiled-HERE/m-p/2326115#M105690CallingThe phone user interface looks really nice and straightforward. Call quality is great and the range of volume is also nice, from very loud to very quiet. The color of the volume level changes depending on what you're doing. For general sounds such as ringtones it is blue. For the volume of the music player or music in games it is pink. For the volume level of calls it turns green. It's a subtle but nice feature.TextingThe great thing about texting is that it has threaded messages. If you don't know what that is, threaded texting is basically one conversation of a bunch of messages made to look like an IM conversation. iPhones and Androids use threaded text messaging. Other phones require you to see single messages one at a time, even if they are all from the same person.The texting is easy. The keyboard takes some time to get used to. It doesn't seem to have the same "tolerance" as other phones, you have to have a lot of accuracy with where you press. However, the phone can be oriented in landscape mode to make the keyboard slightly bigger. Switching keyboards is easy, just swipe left or right on the spacebar. There is a more traditional alphabet layout (like older phones where the 1 key was also the abc key) along with the QWERTY keyboard. You can also attach photos, videos, and audio to messages. Smiley faces/emoticons are automatically converted to cute pictures. Also, the spelling suggestions/predictions could use some work. They don't automatically insert themselves like iPhones and Androids do and lowercase i's don't automatically turn into uppercase i's.WebInternet surfing is okay. This phone is surprisingly great at watching youtube videos. Some pages will look old, like it used to before smartphones. The browser is Nokia's Xpress browser. It apparently sends webpages to Nokia's servers for compressing so that you use less data. That's a nice feature for people who have data plans. Loading is normal, fast I suppose. The start pages contains many links you might need and has them sorted in categories like News, Sports, Entertainment, etc. The top row of icons are for Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, and Google. What I like about the browser is that going back doesn't refresh the page so it's really fast.CameraThe camera is actually pretty nice. Way better than my old phone's camera. It's okay for taking a quick shot of something interesting. I don't like that it's fixed focus though, that pretty much limits how your shots can look.Music PlayerThe music player is good, has all the basic features. Playing albums, artists, songs, and playlists. Loop, loop one, shuffle, share. The back speaker is amazing for a pretty cheap phone like this. You have to hear it in person to really understand. Small phone with big sound.RadioThis phone has an FM radio in it. You need ear buds that have an antennae in it and all my earbuds seem to have one. You can bookmark/star stations or rotate the dial to scan for other stations. It's a nice additional feature.User InterfaceThe navigation of this phone is based on swipes. A swipe from the right or left edge sends you to your apps or Fast Lane. A swipe from the bottom brings up a context menu. A swipe from the top brings down notifications and toggles for wifi, bluetooth, data, and sound. I love this. It feels incredibly intuitive and I'm starting to accidentally use those gestures when using my iPad. There's also a camera option from the lock screen with a swipe from the bottom, nice feature but it seemed hidden.You can have a custom wallpaper for your lock screen but for some reason only preinstalled wallpapers can be used for the home screen. Apps can be rearranged and uninstalled on the homescreen too.Fast LaneFast Lane is basically your history of what you've been doing. Recent apps opened, recent web pages, you can update Facebook status and tweet from it, view upcoming events and alarms, recently installed apps, etc. There are options to choose what shows up in the Fast Lane so privacy isn't much of an issue like someone else stated. It's a nice feature but I don't really use it much.Glance Screen and 2 Tap UnlockingThis is one of my favorite features. The Glance Screen is a screen that shows up when your phone is lock. Instead of the screen just being off it shows you a clock and notification icons for new messages and missed calls and etc. I like this cause I tend to look at the time a lot and also because you don't have to turn on the screen over and over to see if you got a new message. I'm sure this saves your phone some battery from all of those message checks.There is also the feature to unlock the phone just by tapping the screen twice. It can also work from the back of the phone. This is more of a gimmick feature. It's cool and all but I'd rather just press the unlock button.Overall it's just a really great phone to have. Good for the basic needs with a lot of extras. What really sold it for me was that it has wifi but doesn't require a data plan.*Any additional things to say I've probably also said on the forum that I linked to*

  41 megapixels!!! That is the selling feature of this phone. Everything relating to the camera is fantastic! Low light? No problem! Fast moving subject? Change settings and a perfect picture! The camera is phenomenal. There is no question about that. Unfortunately, that's about where the glamour ends.Rather than doing a long paragraph, I will do key points.PROS:camera!!!good battery life (only charge once every day to day and a half)great signal strength - I have better coverage and can make calls in places that are on the edge of service (however see con below)clear speakerphoneCONS:dicey call quality - completely hit and miss, no matter the signal or who I call. Sounds garbled about half the timeno memory car slot - 41 megapixel pics take up a lot of space and free space is somewhere around 27-28 gb because of the operating systemwindows - I had one of the first windows phones and actually liked it. After having an android, I find the windows store not to be up to par. Lack of free apps or ones use is disappointing.no removable battery - I didn't think this would be an issue until I have tried to disconnect calls and had the phone freeze. It eventually unfreezes after about 5-10 seconds, but that seems like a long time when you're trying to hang up.Overall, I think it's an ok phone with an amazing camera. I really wanted it to be the perfect phone but sadly it falls short. But, if you don't mind the imperfections, the camera really does almost make up for the lackluster phone portion.On a side note, I love windows 8 on my computer, so this isn't an anti-microsoft review. I just don't find windows mobile up to par with android or apple.

title: Not terribly impressed
text:
  I'm a bit surprised at all the high reviews here. I have had at least one of all the major phones at one time or another. iPhone, Blackberry, Android. I rely on my cell for work and use it a lot, especially OneNote. This is my first Windows phone. I was hoping for a lot more from a phone with the big screen, a monster camera and Windows 8.0.The camera, at 41 megapixels, sounds impressive but in truth it is pretty bad. I am a photographer and have a number of cameras at home, and even one of my older Canon 10 MP SLR's takes a much better photo than this Lumia does. You can't even compare the two. In my opinion, the best cell camera on the market was the Blackberry Torch (5 MP). The image quality there was amazing. The microphone on this cell is of poor quality as well. Nothing like the iPhone 5s. I always have people asking me to repeat myself. I have tried repositioning the phone when I talk and it doesn't make much of a difference. It also doesn't have call blocking like the iPhone has on the Rogers network. Apparently this is a Nokia issue though. They have not provided the software for this feature yet. Also, in trying to make this phone Dummy-proof, Nokia & Windows have not put in many advanced setting controls. It makes advanced set-up of emails, network setting somewhat difficult. The phone does not offer the same set-up options that the iPhone 5 does. One smaller issue is the alert tones. You cannot add customized tones for your email or SMS.Over-all, I am not happy with this purchase. Because of the price of the phone and because this is not Nokia's first cell-phone, I thought it would be much further along in development than it actually is. I'm just waiting to find one more issue with this phone and I will be reconnecting my iPhone 5.Swing and a miss Nokia. You wanted to build a Ferrari but forgot to put an engine in it.**UPDATE Jan 23, 2014 - Well, that didn't take long.  Have you ever tried to make a playlist on this thing.  What a train wreck.  Time to send this thing to Ebay.

  The Phone isn't looking real, the charger is still in the 90s models where you have to add an extension before you can use it. I decided to send the phone back to FGS Trading Co., the company I bought it from, they decided that 15% of my money will be taken for repackaging fees, I am very mad with the FGS Trading Co. and even Amazon for this Unfair Business Practices.

title: Cheapo tablet with phone functions built in. Nothing special, move on...:)
text:
  It is cheaper and larger than a Galaxy Mega 6.3.  But CHEAP is the word.  It has a much lower resolution screen than the Galaxy Mega's 720P screen.  It scores 10,000 on Antutu benchmark.  The Mega 6.3 scores 16,000.  THis has much lower resolution cameras than the Mega 6.3.  It also only records video in 720P where the Mega records in 1080P.  This is just ok for the price and you don't use it for gaming or camera functions.  I wouldn't touch it myself.  It seems like a $99 tablet with phone abilities.

  Go for the Mega 6.3 or the Galaxy Note 8 with and Otterbox for protection instead, and aim for at least 16GB

  With recent development in the same tablet pricing for WiFi only ($149), paying $300 for a Taiwanese version (still made in Vietnam) from Voltage Converter was a little painful, since I paid essentially $150 extra for the phone/3G function.  Delivery took at least 10 days.  I found some minor imperfections in the bezel and the SIM flap would not close, but "Voltage Converters" retailer reassured me it was not refurbished so I kept it, hoping I don't have a bum battery.  A pricey Otterbox Defender cover has been great and I am just starting to use the phone function now using T-Mobile Pay by the day.  For my smaller hands the 7" form factor is ideal.  Internationally it might not be practical since it is not the standard SIM card.The other reviewers were spot on and I should have headed the immense amount of Samsung bloatware takes the 8 GB down to 4 GB.  I don't play games or movies so it is even noticeable to me. With Android 4.1.2 and the Marvel Chip you can't transfer applications to the 32 GB external drive (not included) like you could in Gingerbread 2.3.7. The form factor is amazing for my data collection and mapping purposes, but for $150 more you would get a lot more performance with an unlocked Mega 6.3" or the Galaxy Note 8".  ( I don't want to sound like a blind supporter for Otterbox, but I will shop in reverse for my next device.  I will check if it is worth making by Otterbox and then see if I want the tablet).  For me a phablet was all about portability and readability so this is an average benchmark to start with.As always with unlocked international versions there is no warranty and you need to make sure it will work on the US networks.

  Pros-- Form factor comfortable in hand. Quite thin. Good screen area.-- Astonishingly high quality speaker with excellent voice reproduction at high volume. Works well as a speaker phone in a small conference room. I have no trouble listening to podcasts in car via phone speaker.-- Software generally works (better than my previous smart phone from Motorola).-- Google maps well integrated with product.Cons-- Difficult or impossible to read screen in bright conditions.-- I do not find Google Now to be useful voice command system to be of practical use. It is amazingly good at transcribing voice to text and it can do terrific tricks. However, I don't find it helpful in everyday tasks.-- Shake to activate camera doesn't work reliably.-- Limited battery life, if I use the phone frequently during the day. Will need interim charge.-- Automatic flipping of screen from portrait to landscape is annoying. Smart phone manufacturers need to provide a better way to control. I use an app to stop flipping back and forth, but then I need to manually re-set when I want to transition to landscape.

title: There’s no replacement for displacement
text:
  There’s no replacement for displacement.  That adage applies to phones as well.  I got the Moto X based on the battery hype and it disappoints.  All the little tricks they put into the X are great but at the end of the day 2200 mAh paired with a 4.7 inch screen (doesn't matter what kind) isn’t going to result in great battery life.  To me it feels like 1 minute of screen time is equaling 1% of battery.  Unacceptable.  To be completely forthcoming I’m a heavy user with often between 1 and 2 hours of screen time per day.  If you're like me, a heavy user and on T-Mobile your current best option for great battery life is the LG G2.  I should also note, I purchased the phone from Motorola directly.

title: review applies only to Republic Wireless who sells a modified version of this phone
text:
  Phones took a full 2 weeks to ship fedex ground and another 4 days to arrive. Getting them to work was a test of patience and technical prowess. I would not  buy again unless you are network engineer without a job and have plenty of time on your hands to figure out technical problems. I am an engineer also and had serious difficulty getting one of the phones to connect to the cellular network. I got the $10 / mo plan for one phone and the $25 / mo for the other. the $25 worked out of the box, connected to my wifi and cellular but the $10 / mo plan phone would not. there is no live customer service or tech support of any kind. only help is self help where a computer list other post by frustrated customers and you read up on their frustrations and learn from it and solve your own problem. I wasted nearly a whole afternoon on trying to connect and finally gave up. wrote a complaint to the bbb and in the process discovered the company phone number. it was answered by probably their sole employee, who was also chief compliance officer. she asked for my email address and I told her to please escalate my self help help inquiry to some one who could help quickly. in about 2 hrs I got an email and after a few more emails back and forth and multiple reboots of the phone, it finally connected to the cellular network. I think Republic was hoping I would upgrade to the $25 plan since the other phone I ordered worked out of the box. in short I would not buy again. now that I am stuck with the moto x phones, (2 of them) I will give it a try and likely dump them on ebay. if there was an option for new customers to speak live to a person for just 10 min, the whole experience would have been so much better. I think this company has a great idea with fatally flawed execution. not likely to survive very long.

OK, wonderful.Also, the Touchless Control is just not ready for prime time. I really wanted this to work. Siri on my iPhone 5 with iOS 6 is better, sadly. I like a lot of the voice interface on Android better than iOS but a lot of it is worse. I wish the engineering teams would merge, LOL.I love the form factor. I love the design customization.

  I love my new phone and I'm using it with Metro PCS. The APN's need to be configured manually and a lot of the AT&T software and logos are hard coded to the phone. I have yet to figure out how to root this thing to removed all of the extra's. FYI you will need a new SIM card if you're upgrading from an old CDMA phone with a GSM SIM card on MetroPCS service. I've noticed in some places my 4G is not available as it used to be and mobile hotspot has been blocked by AT&T. To get Hotspot enabled you will need to root your phone, which is not for everyone. I'm speculating that buying the phone directly from Google would allow for all of the features to be unlocked and not have the AT&T software and boot logo. For an extra $100 (my purchase was around $500) at $599.99, buying directly from the Google store or HTC might not be a bad idea. The color of the phone is is limited to manufacturer.

text:
  I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 but I needed an unlocked phone for work. I bought this as a cheap and cheerful second phone. However, it has turned out to be the worst cell phone that I ever purchased, going all the way back to the mid 1980's. The ear speaker is tinny and it is hard to hear what people are saying, the software is very slow and it has a habit of doing nothing and then doing a lot very quickly. The keypad was poor, but I use the swiftkey app to try deal with that. All in all, I think Samsung has made a big mistake going this poor specimen of a phone the 'Galaxy' branding. It will devalue the brand and nobody is going to trade up to another Samsung Galaxy phone, if this is their first Samsung phone. All good news for Apple then.

The phone did not have any visible damage and so far in the past 4 days I did not have issues and the windows update went well. This is why I'm keeping this phone.

  I upgraded from a Nokia N95 and couldn't be happier. Feature-wise, the two phones are almost the same, but the performance of the X6 is vastly improved. Sure it's not hard to beat an old phone, but this one leaves me wanting for nothing.Like all top-end Nokia phones, it has great built-in features: GPS, camera/video, music player, FM radio, wifi, 3g.Apps load very fast, and the native browser loads really quick too. Wifi reception is great, and the GPS locks on within seconds.The glass touchscreen is very accurate and easy to use; the display is beautiful. The haptic feedback is a little inconsistent or delayed, but it doesn't distract.Menu layout is improved too, and once you figure it out, everything is within a tap or two. The Contacts layout on the home screen is hugely useful.My one complaint is headphone volume is too loud or soft; the controls are not fine enough. That was true on the N95 too.

  I thought I was buying a new phone, but it turns out that it must have been refurbished because when I received it, it had dings and scratches on it. It did not come in an original box like my old phone did (same model). I didn't return it because I needed the phone for business. I will not buy from this company again.

title: very good phone for light users
text:
  I ordered this phone after looking at Samsung unlocked phone also , finally decided on lg. the phone is not complicated to use since I basically need it for calls and text and it does the job fine. the manual is light on details , however thru a little error and trial all is fine and you can manage it pretty good.I subscribed to "lycamobile" and they are very cheap and very good . I signed for pay as you go at 2c a minute and text at 5c with no time frame limit. I had to call customer service few times and they were quick and prompt!!al and all its a very good phone for a light user who doesn't want to be locked in an expensive contract.i give it a thumb up !!

title: No instructions on how to operate written in English
text:
  I bought this product for my husband in East Africa. I liked it for having dual simcards, one slot was of the right size but the second one was too small, and took time to figure out that the second simcard required to be trimmed to fit in the slot. The other problem was that it could not specify which simcard belonged to which company making it really hard to operate. The battery life is also too low, cant keep charge for an entire day without charging. It also did not also have an operation manual written in English and there's none too at youtube. I was literally disappointed by this phone, I did not return it since my husband chose to keep it.

  Went into the AT&T store fully intending to get an S4 by Samsung.  Or a Note, maybe. Figured Id have fun "auditioning"  brands and phones first.Knew the specifications of the inventory. I'd match these with my wants. And needs.Apple. I experienced their Locked down, non REALmultitasking system. Very limited screen size. (More later)HTC their HTC First was on display at the time as a Facebook phone. The display was larger ( than Apple's), so that was good. Not a quad core, but that was no priority. Was quick. But only 1gig of ram. Hmmm.  NoHTC ONE. Really the best display in the business thats readily available. And bar none, the best when i was "auditioning". I was about to pull the trigger on this. But then i saw the Note II.Note II. NICE size. Saw that I don't like the Samsung bloatware". Wait.... The Note II CPU is reported to induce system lag ( checked. 18 onth old tech ). And the Note's display. One look vs the HTC ONE made me want to run to the HTC. But then i saw the LG G PRO.  Why was it back in a corner I asked.  Broken? The sales rep said no. He "Just didnt have it on, and in front". ( ??? ) But it's a new model. I countered.LG G PRO Like I said above. Excellence.CPU Fast. I multi-task. Need for speed is real for me.Case. Ok, to Business class. Not like the HTC OneRam. 2 Gigs, I can have many programs/windows open at once. The system speed is maintained .Display. One word. AWESOME!!! Bright. Clear. Accurate. Not like Samsung's displays which look punchy. And the Note looked, well, I didn't like it.The Display on the G PRO, turned down to "0" at nite is still quite legible so I can work. Love it!"Qslides". Calculator. Calender. Video. NotesNow THIS is multi-tasking on the go.Qslide video. Allow me to watch videos as i work. You see, with the screen being 5.5 inches, it allows that. Also  that CPU continues with no lag. On any of these Qslide aps.Quick memo allows me to capture after a swipe down gesture ( ala Qslide gesture ) anything on display at the time. And then annotate it. Or erase my annotation, and start again. That Fed Ex package? I have the tracking number, ad well as what I see sent to my sales rep. He sees what I. See. I can send my "captured"  screen via messenger, viber, Facebook, Twitter etc, or save it in quick notes/Dropbox/Google Drive/etcAll in all I "auditioned" Apple to Samsung. I then Looked back. Which gave me the best experienceApple's offerings seemed "Toylike". Cute. But needy. Tiny. ( I need to be able to look up and do research on my phone, and as I am speaking to,and if need be go on the 'net to verify, and not miss a beat ).So hence, for me, Apples offerings are non-business like. Oh. I need to be able to have storage.  LG PROs come Standard in the USA with 32g. I upgrade + 64gigs and I have 96gigs. Without spending an additional $100!All in all, the G Pro was a "Treat" for me that was better than i could have imagined. If I buy something else this year it Will be an LG. But it'll be out of keeping up, not out of necessity.

  Don't buy this phone if you plan to travel abroad. Search the web for Galaxy Note 3 SIM Restrictions and you will see why. It seems these phones are region-locked by Samsung as an attempt to prevent grey-market imports. The phones are blocked from using SIMs from other regions - e.g. if you buy a Note 3 in Europe, you can't use a Chinese local SIM when traveling in China. Many people do this sort of thing to avoid heinous roaming charges.Samsung have stated that if the first SIM you use with the phone is one from the "home region" of the handset then the region lock is automatically lifted. However, there have been several posts from users on the web who have stated this is not the case. These users have been blocked from using local SIMs even though they had first "activated" their handset with an in-region SIM before traveling.My advice is do not buy this handset if you think you will ever need to use it abroad without paying roaming charges to your home carrier.(Thanks to Simon Jerrie for the heads-up).

text:
  This phone could've been the best if only Samsung didn't apply their heinous SIM region lock on this phone (and also SGS4 that was manufactured after July 31st).I recommend you avoid purchasing this phone unless you never plan to fly abroad.This thread on the XDA Developers forum is filled with information about the situation:[...]To sum it up:- All unlocked phones come with a black-list of countries where it cannot be used (Most common black-listed countries are in the Middle East and Asia but some also include Europe, Australia, etc).- It seems that all unlocked phones are working in the USA.- At the moment of this review, it is possible to purchase an 'unlock code' from a shady Russian website for $25. How well and how long will this solution work is unknown.

  This phone comes with Samsung Knox - when you root your phone to utilize apps requiring root or flash custom firmware to get rid of carrier bloatware, your warranty is permanently revoked, regardless of technical problem.

title: ONLY BUY THIS VERSION OF THE IPHONE!
text:
  This is the version of the iphone you want if you are an international traveler from the states.  Either the iPhone 5, 5c, or 5S; if you don't get the factory unlocked version online, then buy the Verizon Wireless version only.  Unlike AT&T and Sprint (DO NOT buy the Sprint model, they don't support enough LTE bands for international travel) Verizon sells their phones unlocked.  With AT&T you have to go through a lot of red tape just to get it unlocked; not cool.  If you decided to buy directly from a Verzion store, just buy the phone without a contract and go with a month-to-month plan.  People think they are getting a deal on the phone by getting the 2-year contract, but in the long run, you will be spending WAAAYYY more than if you would just spend the money for the phone out right and go with a prepaid plan. You'll save a lot more money that way. Spend $500 now and have the freedom to go with any phone company you want, or spend about $2000 for the next two years?  The choice is yours... >:D

title: The listing was misleading
text:
  Admittedly, I was a rank amateur, but with a PhD in computer science, at researching iPhones and I was in a hurry, I had used Unlocked as my primary search key, and then honed the search down to this phone that included as the third point in the product listing, to the side of the maiin picture, a discussion of how unlocked phones were useful, blah, blah, blahSo I hit buy it now, and rush it to me, as I was preparing to leave for Europe. Much to my shock when I went to put the T-Mobile SIM card in it that would give me access to the new T-Mobile internationsl services, the phone rejected the SIM card, and the seller was rude about accusing me of making a mistake. And failed to ever admit that it was a glaring marketing bait-and-switch that his listing would come up when I marked Unlocked as my first level search key, AND the listing contained a discussion of the benefits of unlocked phones.Not wanting to be further abused by and obvious bully, I ceased discussion after I inquired about fast and inexpensive ways to save the wasted purchase for my European trip, and he was not well armed to handle that question, other than to warn against a significant number of fraudulent websites in that space.I still feel the listing was overly deceptive by not being screened by the primary search key, and for caring the collaborating discussion about the benefit of unlock phones, but more appalling was the seller's defensive and bullying attitude. Had he instead been eager to assist an inexperienced buyer to a quick solution, he would have won me over to telling my friends about him, but not in the way I tell them about him today.I was completely unsatisfied, but gave 2 stars to concede that had I had more experience and not been in such a hurry, I could have avoided ordering this product by mistake, by noticing the things he was immediately prepared to pointed out (because this had happened before??? then fix the way the listing is screened for major categories such as Unlocked) about the listings for the product I was actually after.

text:
  well I think it's a masculine pink lol.... Ok now on to the phone. Now before i had the 5c i was going from phone to phone and trying to get off the apple bandwagon so I went n got a htc one then ended back up with a iphone 5, then the newer iphone 5s/5c was announced with ios 7 so I was wowed and I was just use to the easy menu the iphones have, especially how your emails are all synced together as if it was one email address. So I got rid of my iphone 5 traded that for a galaxy s4 active!! i had the phone for a month and used it in the shower lol. after being wowed by that I kinda grew away from the phone espcially with all the air features that's easy to activate when driving. So I got rid of the active and traded that for the Pink 5C. Now this color is great the black is a good color I think guys and girls can rock this color(well guys with the black casing for the phone lol) so yeah it's been over a month with the 5c and I don't have any urges to try out the note 3 or even the 5S. Oh wait, one thing I have to point out is I drop the phone last week :-( and it freaking failed on the top left corner and what do you know it had a big dent in the corner so this plastic is cheap cheap. and yes that was the day i put the 5C in a case. ok that's the end of my story/review

title: Let me be clear, I love Apple but....
text:
  My family is what I would consider an Apple family, we have three Apple computers, two iPads, countless iPods, and have always and I mean always, used the iPhone. On top of that, we have all heartily recommended Apple products to friends and family. I love Apple and vowed to not touch an Android phone with a ten foot pole, ever. In fact, I used to shake my head at those poor Android phone users because I figured they can't possibly know what they are missing.  When my sister switched to Android, I actually felt personally slighted.As soon as I could, I got the 5c and I was so excited to explore all the new features it had to offer. Despite endless ribbing from me about how sorry she will be, my wife shocked me by deciding to switch and upgraded to an Android phone at the same time because she said she was tired of the same old, same old. Since she had 14 days to return it if she didn't like it, she felt like it was worth a shot. To my absolute surprise(and horror!), I found myself playing with her phone endlessly on day one while mine sat virtually untouched. I was streaming on her phone in beautiful HD on a crisp, bright, larger screen and loving it. What I had always assumed would be a clunky interface, was smooth and slick.Ok, I told myself, enough horsing around, time to enjoy mine because after all, I love iPhones and Android phones are stupid. First impression, I like the feel of the 4c. It has a solid, feel despite how some people feel about the plastic housing. The screen is bright and crisp. It's fast and doesn't hog the battery. It's like owning a completely new phone, no wait, it's not. With a slightly, and I mean slightly bigger screen and some upgrades, it is just like the iPhone I upgraded from. Not that fun.Now here is where Apple lovers will swoop in to "defend" Apple as though they have some vested interest in the company. Even as an Apple lover myself, I don't understand this. I notice that any review that does not extol the iPhone in all it's glory causes people to freak out. Really? Why spend your precious time defending any company or their products for them? I admit I know what it is like when someone says they don't care for an Apple product. It almost feels personal, almost. But to blast someone for their opinion is just plain dumb. Apple will not call you and personally thank you. They don't care. Surely you have something better to do with your time. If you like your phone, great! But everyone is entitled to their opinion. And the fact that I almost feel shame giving the iPhone a less than five star rating tells you that Apple products are a huge part of my life. But, I will not just blindly love a product just because I love the company. I don't owe any company my complete devotion or my dollars and I would be embarrassed and saddened if I did. Regardless, I am sure my review will be picked apart by fanboys as soon as it is posted. I'll say it again, this is just my opinion folks. If you like the 5c, then by all means get it and love it. I just wanted to post an opinion from someone who loves Apple and yet, isn't crazy about this phone.That being said however, if you love the iPhone usability and are used to it, you will find much of the same here. That is what nearly made me keep mine. And Siri is a pretty neat feature too. It is a solid little phone and you probably won't hate it, especially if you already like the iPhone. But there isn't much new here.The thing is, at one time, the iPhone broke new ground. The first time I laid eyes on one, I practically fainted because it was so freaking cool. There is no question that the iPhone paved the way for every phone that has followed since and in my opinion, Apple keeps setting the benchmarks that cause other tech companies to have to scramble just to catch up. Unfortunately, this phone offers little innovation and while it is a solid little number, it is getting tired. I am looking forward to the next iPhone because it sounds like there will be a lot of changes. I am almost positive I will be frothing at the mouth to switch back to iPhone in the future if what I have read is true. And I hope it is. For now though, I returned my 5c and got an Android phone(I never, ever thought I would be typing that sentence!!!). I love my new phone and for the next two years I will stick with it. But we will see where Apple goes from here. In the meantime, I will continue to enjoy my Apple computers, iPads, and iPods because wow, they are all flawless. Thanks for reading!

title: Its like a cheap iphone 5s
text:
  I have tested both the 5s and the 5c phones hands on before making the purchase, overall I prefer the look of the iphone 5s but this one was better in price and similar in specs so I went with this one. The camera is almost exactly the same, the 5c is actually more vibrant in the pictures then the 5s. The 5s has hd on the front facing camera that the 5c doesn't have but it actually doesn't make all that much of a difference. The 5s can do slow-mo but its not such an amazing feature, its just unnecessary in my case, so it gets a thumbs down. The fingerprint sensor on the 5s isn't very accurate and many times it didn't sense my own fingerprint so its basically the base model of the fingerprint sensor. The 5s is also not double as fast as the 5c, it is only a second faster then the 5c which does not make a big difference. Yes the previous iphone 5 and the new 5c are very similar (almost identical) in most specs but the 5s is not too far behind (probably why they discontinued selling the 5 so fast). Overall I feel Apple is lacking on their new phones and that includes the infamous 5s. However the big fault with the 5c is the ugly cheap plastic they used which my daughter describes as "a $1 looking case". Terrible that a $550 phone would use such an ugly housing. Other then that the phone is okay. It didn't blow my mind, but it is an iphone.

title: mediocre phone
text:
  Performance: From what I have read, the 5c is essentially the same as the iphone 5 except for the following: slightly wider and heavier with a plastic instead of metal body, slightly better front facing camera,  and slightly improved battery life.Also there is no Siri. iOS7 looks nice and is a much needed update to the iOS world. As an otherwise all android person I definitely notice this phone is smoother and faster than my Android phone although the hardware is really not any better and not top of the line (the iphone 5s blows it away and this hardware is basically from the 2012 iphone 5). That makes me appreciate the OS and apps and the overall refinement of the software on iphones.Design: The plastic though is slippery and even though Apple Nation likes to call it high quality polycarbonate even though it is just "cheap plastic" on Samsung phones, don't be fooled because this is just cheap plastic as well. Also, the colors are a bit lame for guys. I had to default to white since the rest are a bit feminine. I also find lame that Apple liked the buzz phrase of integrating hardware and software with this phone. This seems to just be a fancy way of saying if you buy a white phone white wallpaper and if you buy a blue phone you are stuck with a blue wallpaper. iOS 7 also integrates the new colors of the phones but I don't find anything innovative about that. The iphone still has a screen that easliy cracks. I dropped my phone from about 4 feet in a $50 retail protective case and it still cracked the screen around the edges - I have never cracked another phone's screen in my life and this cracked within 1 month and in a high end screen.Software: As mentioned above, Apple has the best software that provides a smooth and fast experience and apps look better on this than they did no Android even with more powerful phones. I am already noticing though you have to sacrifice customization since Apple does not let you change nearly as much and clearly likes there products to be used their way. For now it is a nice change of pace, but it could get old if.Value: Terrible value, I only bought this because of a great sale and wanted to try Apple. This phone was made to kill off the iphone 5 to allow Apple to sell a phone with better margins and easier manufacturing via a plastic case and yet they kept the price high for a "new" product that basically came out in 2012. There is no siri, and it is the largest and heaviest of the iphone 5 series.Pros: overall decent phone, iOS 7 is nice and software is smooth, camera is good, has a lot of good accessories since it is a big name phoneCons: very overpriced for what you get, plastic body is cheap and slippery, no siri, great resolution but 4 inches is beginning to look small on phones, larger and heavier than the other 5 models, iphone is still very prone to cracking/shattering screen, nothing really new: this product was created to improve Apple's business strategy and not out of innovation, anyone who buys this is overpaying so Apple can keep margins healthy for investors. This product is proof of investors' recent concern of Apple's future.

title: Im not a apple head, i love android but..
text:
  I was a little skeptical at first about buying this phone from amazon because i got it at the price $499 (brand new!! Sealed) but i couldn't be happier! The phone of course is running ios 7 straight from the box and the touch i.d is probably the best thing ever. If you're debating whether to get the 5c or 5s definitely spend a little more for the 5s its totally worth it. The camera is great. Extremely fast and extremely clear. There are new options on it like the slomo effect which is fun to play with. The dual tone flash takes mobile picture taking to a whole other level. The best camera on a phone in the market. Take that from someone who has had a galaxy note 2 and samsung galaxy s3. The screen size is something people might not want to over look. If you have extremely big hands i would say go in store and try it out, see how well you can operate it. But its definitely "one handable" meaning you can use it with only one hand and not ever have to over stretch. The resolution is crystal clear, no doubt about that. Although the phone is 1.2 ghz it is blazing fast. It is a 64 bit. I can play heavy games like GTA and not ever freeze on me, even with lots of apps running in the background. Battery life is as expected when dealing with apple. But one thing i have noticed standby times are incredibly great. I can go to sleep with my phone at 100% and wake up and its at 99% sometimes still 100%. This phone is not "droppable" you'll have lucky moments when you drop it and it doesn't shatter but if it falls too high and too hard or at the wrong angle, your screen will be gone. Though I've had mine for over a month I haven't cracked it because i always keep it in a case. So invest in something protective like a speck case or otterbox or some generics.

title: Apple Picking
text:
  Attempting to review a device with the dizzying profile of the iPhone is oddly bemusing; it means different things to different people, and in the end, it depends what you want or expect to get out of it. To use it only as a phone is a bit like living in the Taj Mahal when all you really need is a tent. I've only had the iPhone for three days, and it's my first. This review will therefore be from a new-user's point of view and without reference to the competition. In other words, what it's like to live with an iPhone 5s.The presentation of the phone, with its exquisite Zen-like packaging, builds the anticipation, until finally the waiting's over and there it is: looking and feeling like a bar of gold or precious metal, its solidity and weight are somehow reassuring. The harmony in the architectonics is a triumph of aesthetics, and that's without even switching it on. But before you do that, you'll be required to fit your nano sim card. Using the pin supplied, this requires the dexterity and sensitivity of a concert pianist matched with the optical facility of an eagle, but once done you're ready to fire it up.If you already have other Apple devices you'll find your phone exchanging data straightaway, with your contacts, photos etc being ported over the airwaves. There's relatively little to do in the way of set-up as most of it appears to happen automatically. You can then personalise the phone even further, first with the famous finger-print. This involves (as does so much from now on) in going into Settings. Choose Touch ID and after rolling your digit around on the Home button, the sensor registers your details, and from then on opening up the screen is quick and easy, plus you can use it in the ITunes store. If you can't decide whether you'll be using your finger or your thumb then why not register both, and if you want to allow anyone else access to the phone then they can add their fingerprint too. An extra precaution of a numerical passcode is required to access your credit card information. Once set, this also transfers to other devices, meaning you never have to manually fill in an internet payment form again.I have the 16GB model, and possibly some juggling might be required in deleting and later re-loading apps/photos/downloaded songs on Spotify, but that doesn't look as though it'll be a problem for some time, as at the moment there's 11GB free. What might be an issue however is data allowance from your provider; I seem to have got through 100MB already, and that's only in a couple of days. It might be best then to choose a contract with an unlimited data allowance if you are going to want to make the most of the iPhone's entertainment value.Navigating around the phone is intuitive enough, the Home button being the key to changing between apps. Double-click this and it will bring up all of your open applications, which is often a clearer way of orienting yourself. A swipe upwards reveals the torch (which is very powerful), the calculator, the timer and camera, as well as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do Not Disturb shortcuts, plus your music player. A downward swipe within an app displays your schedule. A downward swipe on the Homescreen brings up the search facility, which can be used with confidence. Siri, the slightly surreal footman character can be activated by bringing the phone up to your ear. Using its mystifying powers, Siri can then find the way to the nearest Tandoori or be grilled for the sum of 4.3339 + 2.7, its seemingly inexhaustible knowledge providing hours of amusement. If Siri can't solve your problem directly it'll find references on the web which should provide you with an answer.YouTube and iPlayer are rendered in a crystalline clarity and the dimensions of the 5s give a panoramic quality to the theatre. The sound is remarkably full, and the earphones supplied seem excellent. Photos are catalogued in Years, drilling down to Collections and then Moments which sounds overly complicated but is actually coherent in use and quick to comprehend. The quality as you'd expect, is uniformly excellent and the new flash arrangement leads to an enhanced quality in poor light.From then on the sky really does seem to be the limit, with apps for just about every conceivable occasion. In short, the iPhone is a device which you possibly never knew you needed, but once you've lived with it for a few hours, it's hard to imagine life without.

title: Technologically brilliant, but with some practical limitations
text:
  After years of prodding from friends ("What? A techie like you doesn't have an iPhone???") I finally broke down and bought one- the top of the line, with all the bells and whistles, and the maximum memory. It's a bit of a hit to the pocketbook, but I thought the payoff would be in portability and the computing power. And for the most part, I've been pleased with it. I love how it shares data with my iMac and iPad. But I do have some issues.It's certainly amazing how Apple has managed to cram all that computing power and battery life into such a tiny package, but they've done so at the expense of ruggedness and battery life. The first purchase I made for mine was an Otterbox Defender, and the second, an auxiliary battery and a second charging cord for in-car use. The case, because I can just see dropping this wand watching $849 turn into several ounces of inert plastic, glass and silicon, and the cord and battery because compared to the cell phones I've been using, this phone is a real power hog. While it gets a lot of oohs and aaahs for its tiny packaging, it would be nice if they made it a bit thicker and doubled the battery capacity. It would be even nicer if they made a ruggedized version with extended battery life; I'm thinking of spending another $99 and buying a Morphie case with a built-in battery.I would have also like to see Apple provide better tools for importing data from an older technology cell phone. The use of the nano-SIM means that this was the first phone I has where I couldn't simply slide the card out of one phone and into the next. It also means that I can't quickly switch to a back-up phone if this one suffers a failure and needs repair or replacement.So yes, an impressive phone and impressive technology. But not quite as practical as I'd hoped.Two week Update:As the novelty has work off, and I'm no longer checking it every few minutes just because of the novelty of it all, I find that the battery life is much better than I'd thought as first. But I'm still keeping a charger at bedside, a charging cord in my car, and a small back-up battery in my parka. I'm also finding more useful apps for it- even after having used an iPod Touch and an iPad for years. In fact, I'm starting to realize tha Apple has now successfully locked me into the iPhone.... forever. Sneaky, Apple. Very sneaky.

Please let your staff afford a pair of glasses in order not to make stupid mistakes like this.Unluckily, I closed the credit card that I used to purchase this phone, and they have sold out all the iPhone 5s, which means I cannot make an exchange. Also If I cannot get the refund, because I closed the credit card, and I donot have another credit card that is from the same bank. If I want to get the refund, I have to go open the unuseful credit card that I have already closed. The credit card that I used to purchase this item is from a bank in China, and I am not going back to China recently, which means I cannot open the credit card that I have closed. If I sent this item back to Amazon, I cannot get the refund, or exchange the item.I really needed the phone when I ordered this item, and this experience has brought me WAY TOO MUCH STUPID TROUBLE JUST BY MAKING ONE SUPER STUPID MISTAKE. In order not to go back to China and open the credit card, which is going to waste me about 2000 dollars for the round tickets. I do not think I am going to change the wrong item. ANYWAY, I PAID MUCH MORE THAN I SHOULD PAY FOR AN IPHONE 5. THIS HAS BOTHERED ME WAY TOO MUCH.

  The device arrived the same day than other products despite the extra $$$ for the two day shipping. It was late if we consider that was expected after two labor days. It was a waste to have two shipping days...The device itself is great. I had the old vibrant S4G from t-mobile but just broke its screen. This G4Smini is just a little bit bigger but best replacement. I do not like the super sized S4. The model is the GT-I9195 from somewhere in europe (france?). It comes with a brochure from the mobile company Orange. After charged, I turned it on and asked me the preferred language, data for account logins and internet. Created some accounts as well and finally was up and running fine. The charger has a plug useful in some countries in europe and many other countries in latam etc. The seller included an adapter for the US connector. The box itself appeared unopened with its seal intact, but a more careful look showed that the seal was on top of a previously broken seal. Both seems to be official but who knows how hard can be to make a sticker with the words "samsung" on it... The device had plenty of plastics protecting all the sides and corners so it looks "enough" new to me.The cons:- horrible boot screen. No idea how to replace it without rooting the phone.- many not needed applications you cannot uninstall unless rooting the device (as most smartphones).- it uses microSIM cards... No idea why since it has plenty of space for the regular SIM cards. I had to buy a cutter to trim my old SIM.- the device comes with android 4.2.2. I was expecting something more recent. At least 4.3, or an update. But no....- its price feels way too high for a device with only 8GB of internal memory (already shared with OS and the several updates to its original apps).I recommend the product but knowing in advance its details.

  I rate 5 stars because the seller gave good detail and the price was good.I rate Blackberry z10 a basic phone, Blackberry needs to update completely with their devices.I would like blackberry too, have more custom things on it that no other phone has. its just a basic phone to me, that when i switched from android to blackberry there was very limited things, i guess blackberry needs alot of app updates too. :)

title: iPhone 5c white(color doesnt matter)
text:
  I recieved the iPhone 5c as a work phone, moved over from an Android. Was not my idea to have an iPhone, had to take it. First off, I never have used an iPhone before or use Mac computers so I have almost 0 experience with them. I work with MS and PC, and Android mostly. My take on the iPhone:First it is smaller than my Samsung Galaxy (personal phone), not as wide. the plastic case feels slippery and I got a case for it imediately. If the case covers the phone, the color of the phone will not matter since you can't see the color. The apple cover has holes in it so you see spots of color, but if you get a full cover you dont see the phones case.The new iOS, since I dont use apple stuff I have nothing to compare it to, just the Android OS. In general they operate the same, what I don't like is that the iPhone doesn't have a back button like the Android. If you use apple then you are familure with how they work but it takes me longer to manuver the OS. I find it frustrating sometimes.Adding programs is a simple install and uninstall. But I dont have the option to kill programs that my be running in the background like I can with an Android. Of course this is the first iPhone that runs multi programs at once.Having to use the app store is also a pain, they say they have mullions of apps but it seems harder to find what you want. Again this is compared to Android phones, if you use apple you would be familure with the app store.General feel of the phone, it seems limited compared to the Galaxy. I can't arrange the icons how I want and everything is an app. I dont have widgets like the Android. You have to do everything through iTunes or iStore. The phone feels small, the text pad is small and hard to read, will not rotate like an Android. It is hard to read anything on the screen (text of apps) even when you set font size to the largest size. Even with glasses on I find it hard to read. Again compared to my Galaxy phone, the 5c is small and difficult to use. Again if you have always used an iPhone you would not see this difference.I give the phone 3 star, it is average and useable but not great. My Galaxy phone I find is much easier to use and I like the larger screen, the visual quality is the same even though apple makes a big deal out of the new screen.If you like apple you like like this phone, if you use other phones you may find the 5c limited and hard to use.

   Length:: 8:02 MinsMy wife and I have been using the iPhone 4 since it was released and it was time for an upgrade.  We don't use unlocked phones as we use Verizon but I thought that some people would like to see what the phones looked like and hear about the phone installation process from someone who has gone through it.  One phone was easy to set up and install and the other phone had issues.  Even though the phones came from Verizon the gold 64 GIG phone SIM would not register with Verizon's servers.  It took Verizon about 45 minutes to get the phone's SIM to be forced into the system while I was on the phone with them. This has been a problem with this new phone and the carriers are slowly resolving the issues.The fingerprint recognition system is really neat and easy to set up.  You can register 5 fingers and so I registered two of mine depending on the different ways that I would grip the phone and then my wife registered on my phone.  We then did the same thing on her phone.  I immediately changed the simple password to a complex one and I strongly suggest that you do the same thing.  The four digit number code is just too easy to break.  You can program your phone to erase itself after 10 failed log in attempts but we have not done that as of yet. I figure that the fingerprint access and a complex password will slow them down a lot!In my video I did not go through the technical details as Apple has them plastered all over the web in a much better format that I could do justice to.  For us we were looking to going to the LTE system (Faster Speed), making our phones be personal hotspots for our WIFI iPads, the finger print security and the enhanced camera and slow motion videos were of interest for us.I did notice that the iPhone 5S runs warmer and it feels warmer in my hand.  I had my iPhone 4 in an Otterbox Defender case all the time that I owned it and perhaps it was just as warm and I never noticed it because of the case.  We were able to trade in our old phones and we got a reasonable trade in value for them and that helped with the expense of a new phone.After the phones are registered you can only make basic calls and texting but all of your personal information is not on the phone.  I don't use iCloud as I don't want to pay for 64 GIG of backup space but I use iTunes religiously.  I backed up both of our phones before I turned off the old iPhone 4 products.  I then connected the new iPhone 5S phones and one took 1 hour and 35 minutes and the other about 1 hour and 45 minutes to sync.  I was immediately asked to upgrade to a new version of IOS 7 which took an additional 30 minutes or so for each phone.  Now all of our data was there except our MP3 music and MP4 videos that had to be reinstalled.  If you use apps that require unique passwords you will have to reregister and reenter your passwords.The phones knew who we had our email accounts with but again we had to re-enter in our email account passwords and then they immediately downloaded.  Syncing , downloading emails and adding music and videos to your new phone is much faster thanks to the new quad core CPU.The phones are beautiful and stylish and we both like our phones a lot.  We both would rate them as a 5 star item.  We like iPhones and we have a ton of iTunes apps which so far has kept us rebuying iPhones. It has been a good product line for us and so far we are happy.

  Unbelievable phone. And I had many phones in the last 7 years (not including using my wife's, cousin's, etc..). And now the price is dropping even further down. With phones like this one and the next gen in 2014, iphones will have a tough time selling soon although they have a niche market and people are seemingly Apple-lifers. If you use an iphone 5S for a week and then put your hands on the LG G2, you would realize what most already know- Android rules & LG is providing superior tech without all the high price of Samsung and Sony. Don't get me wrong, I was a big supporter and user of the iphone and Galaxy lines, and maybe I'll change to something different in the future- however, Google with their open-source method and rapid adoption by developers and outrageous number of choices and ''free'' apps, it would be near impossible to think of an alternative. And this BEAST of a phone, sorry ... BEAST of a portable computer in my hand/pocket - I can enjoy entertainment and also use the many productivity tools for my work with incredible ease. How do we go back to the times before this?

  The phone found the new update and when I said to install it the phone booted into TWRP recovery. TWRP IS NOT the bootloader that come from the factory. And it's known problem that updates from the manufacturer may cause problem with the phone. That mean that someone already used it and installed TWRP. I spent over 5 hours trying to get this brick working again.

text:
  The device is not perfect and I really did try see it as such because a lot of advantages in it.At work I examine many mobile devices and the G2 in my opinion has the best Android interface. The only reason the device does not receive a perfect score is because it is not perfect in your hand! the device is too big and i dont have small hands.I do not like iPhone, but Steve Jobs knew what he was doing when he decided that the width of the mobile device will be arround 58 millimeters.I hope LG will realize that a lot of consumers wants a device similar to the G2 but with a maximal width of 62 mm and a 4.5-inch screen. If LG will understand and produce such a device, I will run to stand in line to buy it !!

  This is not a factory unlocked phone. It displays a merchant's logo upon startup. It also has some silly wallpaper and graphics that seem like they're designed for 12-year-old girls who like pink. Like the big 5.2 inch screen. Lots of the settings and nested menus are non-standard and take a while to get used to. Looks like a cross between the Samsung Galaxy 4 and the HTC One. Hate the buttons on the back....also non-standard and hard to get used to. I suggest you wait for Google and Samsung to come out with their next gen. phones.

  The camera is Stunning, as a professional photographer I was looking for an smartphone camera to take casual shots to not use my DSLR.  The Lumia 1020 will let you manually change almost all aspect of the camera (except aperture) to take the shot YOU want, not the machine.

title: Nokia Lumia 1020 Factory Unlocked International Version RM-875
text:
  I finally received my phone after a mixup in the post office,but i,ll excuse that because this is the holiday season and lots of mail.Since this is my 1st windows phone it took a little time to learn the functions.I wanted the factory unlocked version and that,s what i got-the RM875 version.I just have to go to T-Mobile store and get a micro sim since i had the regular sim and i was set to go!This phone is absolutely no comparison to the 2 Nokia phones i had previously-N8 ,N95.It,s speed i can compare about equal to my laptop.I like the ability to store my pictures on Skydrive in the future when i get a lot on the phone so phone won,t fill up.Also the size is perfect-not too big,not too small.Nokia finally has a phone that is in line with other smartphones around.I just wish Nokia would offer factory unlocked versions of their high end lines like Apple,HTC,samsung does.I tried purchasing at stores-Microsoft store,Best Buy and i can,t find any and 3rd party unlocking places are unable to unlock the AT+T version so i don,t want to take the chance and get a phone i can,t use so i opted to buy on Amazon and got the product i am looking for!Thank you for an amazing product!

title: No protective case fits on camera grip, better voice recognition than Siri.
text:
  Other users don't like the operating system, it does not have millions of apps available like the iPhone or Android phones have, but there are still plenty of apps available and if you are willing to pay for the apps there are plenty. I even find the voice recognition for text messages and Bing searches understands my voice better than Siri does on the iPhone. The camera is what makes this phone worth the money, with so many different modes it is easy even for novice camera users.Only reason for 4 stars is that with the camera grip, there is basically no protective case available for the phone. You have to remove the camera grip for a protective case to fit.

  This is by far, the greatest camera a playing-sound quality phone I've ever had...also the quality and colours of the display are stunning!!I've had a nokia E7, then a samsung sII, lumia 900 and iphone 4s in the past...But for me, this is the most productive and best quality phone I ever buy!!I'm am studying Transport/Industrial design, so this is the best choice for someone like me!...I don't know why some people complain about the OS, It's just bad publicity. For me It's just so fluid and intuitive...and for the apps, if you want productivity and real-use gourgeos design apps, more than games and silly things, this will be your best choice. ;)

I couldn't even get to a place where I could understand how to change the language setting and Nokia couldn't get me there either over the phone.  Luckily I have a good friend who knows the Chinese language and after a few taps she had it in English.  I put a sim card from Wal-Mart straight talk and it works like a dream.  It's very easy to use and the pictures are amazing.  LOVE IT!!!!

  It is amazing that in todays cyber world of criminal hacking,security breaches. Simply put cyber raping that occurs why anyone actually chooses any phone but a blackberry. Seriously going to risk your credit and personal accounts so you can have more apps,most redundent at that? Uninformed buyers who actually believe the manipulative marketing that a 500 billion dollar company as apple or 350billion dollar company like google,or 400 billion samsung.They flood the market,media and carriers with what you actually believe to be true. They pay for negative reports they convince you your phone is so much better and you believe. Well untill your a victim keep your android,knox security is horrible. Ios  apple lol. Have had galaxys4 a year,got z30 much better phone with peace of mind. BBM much better then skype or whatsapp,and oh so much more secure. Dont be a follower. Be proud to have a blackberry. Dont hide it be proud to show your smarter then them. They will eventually get it.

title: A Good Idea but not a working Phone
text:
  Let me start by stating that I did not purchase the phone from amazon, but from Bell Canada; I found Amazon reviews helpful in the past and I am commenting to save some people some headaches.I replaced two Z30 phones within less than 30 days both equally defective and crash prone.Warning to the wise not to upgrade to BlackBerry OS 10.2.1 as it will trash your phone.Blackberry Link, the media software for the Z30, sucks and is useless so that trying to sync files or putting music on the phone becomes a learning process, unnecessary waste of time and strain; I consider myself to be a tech savvy and I spent hours trying to find out how to simply and properly sync my contacts to it.I really wanted to like this Phone, but unfortunately Blackberry, the company, sucks as much as it products; try to find a support number on their website and you will find out what I a mean.Apps; very limited, but were not essential in my choice of a phone, what works on one blackberry Phone does automatically work for another blackberry model; Viber does not work the Z30, but works apparently on some of the previous models.My conclusion; Blackberry has learned squat from its past failures; its quality control sucks and it customer retention policy non existent.

  Seller sold me a bootleg Nokia Lumia 1020, that was actually an Android GSM phone. The software looks like Window mobile but it is difficult to use and you cannot download any apps. Even the color was wrong, I was shipped a yellow bootleg phone!! I returned it 2 days later after realizing it was a bootleg version of the 1020, and I now have the real phone as of yesterday.The real phone I received through another seller gets 4 out of 5 stars.Pros: Camera is easy to use, voice recognition better than Siri.Cons: No case fits if you have the camera grip connected.

title: A truely amazing phone + OS -- all combined with a great price
text:
  WARNING : This phone/Windows OS is so good that it'll make you forget the Apple/Android. I bought this as a gift for a family member and she's hooked to it. Because Facebook/IM/photos are "live", she actually looks forward to clicking and using those apps every time she turns the screen ON. Unlike Android / iPhone where you have to click each app, this phone makes everything come alive -- and not just social-network-stuff, but also simple things as "To Do" list, or Weather-app or News app -- it's all right there on the home page. No need for additional clicking/tapping.As far as the hardware is concerned, this phone is not having a super-large screen -- which in my scenario was a plus. It's an excellent smart-phone for the price. You can't go wrong with less than $150 (including shipping) for a smart-phone with 3.8" display, front-camera, rear camera (5 megapixel), Wi-Fi, 8 GB memory, SD card slot.Originally I thought the white-plastic case would make the phone less durable, but so far it doesn't seem the case. Phone is solid.Nokia has done a great job in build quality as well as keeping the software updated. There are tons of Nokia apps available. I also was able to download the latest WP8 updates.Cons:* It's not a 4G phone (then again the owner doesn't really need/care for 3G/4G). I also didn't expect 4G/LTE etc for the price* Screen is not retina display quality - found in latest Windows/Galaxy/iOS devices

title: Important About Unlocked Note 3 Phones
text:
  We all know that the new Galaxy note 3 is the talk of the town but some people whom want the phone but don't want to get roped into a contract will purchase an unlocked version of the phone. But before you buy the unlocked version their is some information you need to know about the different models of the phone(s). The Galaxy Note 3 was released in many country's on every continent. Although anyone can buy the phone from any country; each model was made to work on different frequencies. In this review I am going to go over each model of the Galaxy Note 3 and the services recommended for use with them.But First everyone may be asking about the Region lock attached to the phones. Yes before the phones are unlocked their are region locks attached to the different models forcing them to only accept SIM cards from their designated country's. But after unlocked the Region locks are removed. Does this mean that all models will work everywhere, no, but I will be going over if the phone will work in your region after the locks are removed in the model descriptions below.Second the different levels of service. Depending on your area and the service towers available their you will get different letters to indicate service level and the speed you're getting. Below are the most common levels and their average speeds in order for your reference during the Model review.1. E = EDGE/GSM: When getting this sign you are getting the weakest signal for your phone but are still getting non-roaming signal for general calls and text. I advise if this is your areas mane signal strength you have a Wi-Fi signal avalible for the data internet conection.2. G = 2G/GSM: When the G is showing you are getting remedial signal but still pretty strong. Calls and Text's will be flawless and you will be able to do general internet surfing but you will not be loading any HD videos or have perfect connection to online only game's. With this I still recommend a Wi-Fi signal in your house if you plan on using the internet in these areas.3. H = 3G-/HSPA: This signal is classified as 3G but runs a little slower depending on how close you are to the main tower. If you're getting a good amount of bars with signal will do flawless calls, text's, and you'll be able to comfortable able to surf the internet and load videos at a max of 480P (360P recommend for best result).4. 3G = 3G+/GSM/HSPA: This is the full 3G speed and will be also flawless with calls, text's, and be able to stream video like netflix(Recommended 460P), play online games, and surf the internet fast and easy.5. H+ = 4G-/GSM/HSPA+: This is the signal that most first generation 4G phones use. Perfect for all light movie watchers, and small business people. Flawless calls, text's, and the internet is speedy. H+ although fast has been known to be faulty in a lot of area's and was quickly replaced. If you've got this signal it's still 4G but it's kind of like the EGDE version of 4G.6. 4G = 4G/GSM/HSPA+: This is the 4G signal that most 2010-2012 4G phones use such as the Galaxy S series (Sept for the S4) Although this is a very fast and reliable it is not LTE but for the average person whom just watched movies and plays online games on their phone this signal is more than enough to give you a crisp fast feel and load HD movies (720P Recommended but not limited to.)7. 4G LTE = 4G+/GSM/LTE: This is the current signal that everyone is going after. It is lighting fast and is the most reliable for non-stop videos, gaming, and downloading.Now for the common phone models:1. SM-N9000 3G = International/Made for Travelers: This is the international model. This one has a dual quad core processor running at 1.9 GHz Cortex/1.3 GHz A7. The reason for the processor being change is because this phone is meant to work everywhere their is a GSM signal and kicks threw the different processors to maximize signal strength. The N9000 CAN NOT to 4G speeds of any kind. This is due to most country not having 4G signal and that a lot of county's run on different cell frequencies. By removing the 4G radios this phone can pick up way more cell frequencies then the other models. This phone is not made for people looking for Data speed this is made for travelers whom want a reliable way to have cell service no matter where they are. Don't despair about the data or processing speed this phone still has Wi-Fi connection available and can breeze though 3D games; you shouldn't even notice a speed difference when doing tasks.2. SM-N9005 4G LTE = European Model/International: This model contains the regular 2.3 GHz Snapdragon Processor. This phone unless unlocked is Region locked to only European SIM cards, after unlocked their is no region lock. Although this phone is an LTE phone it can only get LTE frequencies while in Europe. When you take this phone out of Europe it will get international signals but will not get LTE, when this phone is in the USA is will get H+ (Reference above) signal maximum.3. SM-N9002 3G = China Model/Select Counties: This model is not LTE or 4G compatible. This was the First generation of the Note 3 released and is considered the Beta. With all the same hardware as the LTE version this phone will still preform flawless tasks.4. SM-N900W8 4G LTE = China Model/Select Counties: This model will only get LTE in select counties and I advise you check with your service provider to see what signal you will be getting. This model is completely subjective as to what frequencies of LTE you will be about to get. Example: Imagine you are in Europe and you are in a city and get LTE. Then you move to another city and you lose LTE this is because the first city runs on an LTE frequency the the phone can get but the second city although may offer LTE to most cell phone; does not offer LTE on a frequency this phone can't run on.5. SM-N900A 4G LTE = USA AT&T/Worldwide: This phone is International but you need to consult AT&T to see if you city or county can get LTE service or not. This phone once unlocked will work on Straight Talk, Solavei, T-Mobile, and any other GSM based network. Note: When using T-Moble, Solavei, or other services that piggy-back on the T-Mobile towers you can get LTE service but depending on your area you may not get 3G. If you live in a 3G area consult your carrier to see is the frequencies for 3G match up with this phone. (This review for the AT&T model can change at anytime due to AT&T's bootloader)6. SM-N900T 4G LTE = USA T-Mobile: This phone when unlocked can get all USA frequencies. Example: You will have no problems using a AT&T SIM card with this phone and even get 4G LTE threw any service whom provides is. The N900T model is the most versatile model out of them all and if you plan on getting one I recommend going to a T-Mobile store and purchasing this model outright. Unlocking this phone is easily done threw calling T-Mobile and even using YouTube for an unlocking video.So out of all the models the N900T is the most versatile, but unlike the N900A (The second most versatile) the N900T is harder to find online already unlocked so you will most likely need to buy if from the store and unlock it yourself.I hope this review has helped with you decision about what unlocked version to buy.If you have an questions or addition to the review please leave a comment.Video review of phone Specs and features coming soon.

title: Not "Factory Unlocked" as advertised. Will not work internationally
text:
  My brother bought the note 3 N9005 with premium pricing as it was advertised by the seller as being "factory unlocked" and "international version". My brother lives in Asia and was visiting me in the U.S. for a week. The buying experience turned out to be a disaster for the following reasons -1. Paid premium pricing for the model but still had to pay for shipping even though I am an amazon prime member.2. The phone turned out to be "locked" as it didn't work when my brother put in his sim card from Asia. It asked for a "SIM network unlock code".3. When I called the seller the first time, they told me that they didn't have a tech support team. And that we need to contact Samsung directly.4. Samsung confirmed it was not "factory unlocked".5. We also stopped by multiple electronic stores in Chicago and they all confirmed that the phone was not "factory unlocked". They could not unlock the phone as we would need a U.S. phone service provider to get an unlock code.6. When I contacted the seller, Worldwide Distributors, they fed me some technical gibberish and asked us to buy a brand new sim card for it work (any sim card should work in a "factory unlocked" phone). Supposedly a brand new sim work would unlock the phone (didn't make sense how but we tried it).7. We bought an AT&T sim card to test out their theory. It didn't work! When my brother would put in his sim card from Asia again, it still required a unlock code.8. We shelled out more money to get an unlock code from the net.We ended up paying way more and wasting 2 days to get this functional so that my brother can use it in Asia.Also I didn't even bother contacting the seller to ask if they would reimburse me for all the additional cost we incurred to get the phone unlocked. I was Wnot happy with their customer service when I contacted them and felt it would've been a waste of my time and potentially more money. When I asked about their return policy they emailed me saying that I need to pay for shipping when returning the phone!!

  HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!- bought this phone after diligently reading the explanation all the information and TRUSTING THE WORLDWIDE DISTRUBUTOR-s 4 star reputation. This phone suppose to be a gift for my relative living overseas in Europe. international- I took the phone to Greece and Turkey. BAAMM phone does not work without an Unlock-Code! Emailed the Worldwide-NOT distrubutor- they gibberish something about inserting the brand new GSM chip - which we tried it did not work! Also when we try to email this company we get replies from a different company under the Straight Trader name. Weird!!! Then they ask for IME number promising they will return with an unlock code- which we did- while waiting I have returned from my trip and called them up again from the USA, the lady on the phone told me they are receiving "SIMILAR COMPLAINTS- AND ISSUES with unlocked phones being NOT - Unlocked !"  she apologized and she said they will get back to me with a resolution. Next day I got an email saying " They can not resolve the issue- this phone can not be Unlocked- just send the phone back. on top of it they said they can not pay for shipping back fees international ( even though its their fault I took the phone to overseas believing that phone is Unlocked) and that they gave me only 14 days to return for refund-if phone does not reach them in 14 days they will not refund the money!!! I CALLED AND ARGUE THEM : First of all : HOW COULD YOU ADVERTISE ON YOUR AMAZON SELLER ACCOUNT THAT THIS PHONE IS UNLOCK- AND FOOL ALL THIS PEOPLE? SHE SAID : THIS PHONE IS NOT MADE IN THE USA, AND IT IS NOT GUARANTEE THAT ALL UNLOCK PHONES WILL BE UNLOCKED IN EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY-  whaaatt??Second: HOW COULD THEY LET US PAY THE INTERNATIONAL SHIP FEES? AND IN 14 DAYS??CAN U BELIEVE THAT?  HOW CAN YOU CLAIM  to millions of people that YOUR PHONE IS INTERNATIONAL UNLOCK AND WILL WORK -MEANING GLOBAL!!!! LIARSWHY DON'T YOU SAY THAT ITS ONLY WORK IN SOME COUNTRIES AND SOME DON'T-- But ALL I GET WAS THE  SAME BLANK PLAIN ANSWERS AND SORRY ASSS APOLOGIES BUT ALL MY TIME AND ENERGY AND MONEY IS  WASTED-NOT TO MENTION MY BROTHER'S SURPRISE GIFT WAS CRUSHED TURNED OUT TO BE A NIGHTMARE!!I HAVE CONTACTED AMAZON HEADQUARTER TODAY- THEY ALSO WAITING FOR RESOLUTION IN 2 BUSINESS DAY- EITHER GIVE ME UNLOCK CODE OR PAY MY INT. SHIPPING BACK AND GIVE ME MORE DAMN TIME TO RETURN- I WILL UPDATE THIS POST LATER. 1 STAR IS LESS FOR A LIAR COMPANY-SORRY MY LANGUAGE BUT NO BODY FOOLS PEOPLE LIKE THIS. WASTE OF TIME AND ENERGY-DO - NOT- BUY - THIS - PHONEEEEEE

title: A Technical/Hardware Masterpiece
text:
  Last year I owned the Galaxy Note 2. I thought it was a near perfect phablet, except for just two main areas for improvement: Screen resolution/sunlight legibility, and after a while there was noticeable slowdown after too many apps were installed. Now that I have the Note 3, things are getting very very interesting....Lets do this review by bulletin points for easier viewing:PROS:1) The biggest and most obvious different when you first pick this up is the screen. There are a handful of improvements:* The resolution has been upgraded to 1080p(from 720p). You can noticeably tell that it is crisper.* You will also find out that it is a bit brighter. For us geeks, that means Samsung has upped the brightness levels to an incredible and unheard of 660 cd/m2 max(when auto brightness is turned on).* Sunlight legibility is MUCH improved over the Note 2. However, it is still not as good as the HTC One's screen. The Super AMOLED has AWESOME contrast levels(velvety deep blacks). As a whole however, and because of its Pentile pixel system, it comes just a bit short of the HTC One's Super LCD 3. It is really nitpicking though, so you won't ever regret this.2) This phone flies, almost literally. The Samsung Exynos Octa-core/Snapdragon 800 processors mean this thing will hardly ever lag, and 3GB of RAM means you can multi-task to your heart's content!3) Improved S-Pen hardware/software mean it's no longer a gimmick gadget from the original Note. Too much to describe all the functions, and you can do without it for most functions. But business users will really appreciate this once you work on productivity/design apps.4) All those software features! Granted, you can do without most of them for day-to-day things, but being there nonetheless means it will improve your ease of use. The are also too many to go through all, I but what I love most is the Smart-Stay, which uses the front camera to monitor that you're looking at the screen and won't dim/turn off, which is super duper useful for when you are reading the news/web pages, etc., holding the phone up with one hand, and your other hand is pre-occupied. No more having to shuffle around to tap the screen when it auto-dims to bring the brightness back up. This is especially and specifically useful for me when I'm reading in bed on my Pulse News app.5) The sound is noticeably louder as well. It doesn't have that immersive stereo effect of the HTC One's dual stereo speakers, but by itself it is louder. This is useful when you are in a noisy environment, and having one loud speaker is more useful than having two immersive speakers that are softer and harder to hear. As good as the HTC One sounds, I hate that for most things like music and video, it is so darn soft and frustrating. I now appreciate this one loud speaker setup more for regular everyday outdoors use.6) Having a huge battery means I can do whatever the heck I want with it, and even after heavy use I can still not have to charge it until I'm in bed at night. The one thing that frustrates me most about the HTC One is this very flaw - I literally have to be near a charger/portable charger ALL THE TIME. I just use it to read the news for about 30-40 minutes and 20% will already be gone. And when I charge it, it trickle charges like a turtle! With the Note 3, being able to replace the battery is an added plus, and the USB 3 port means it can charge very quickly. But even these two advantages cannot compare to the simple fact that it has a huge-capacity battery in the first place.CONS:There are few things you can nitpick, like the design/material quality - for a flagship device it still feels a bit chintzy, not like the premium look and feel of the HTC One or even the Sony/Nokia phones. With rumors of a new Galaxy line, this may be changed very soon though. Also, the Touchwiz user interface can be hit or miss. It's not for everyone, that's for sure. Luckily, being Android means we'll never have to settle. My recommendation - especially if you like the simple/minimalistic look, is Smart Launcher Pro. Try the free lite version and see for yourself.I can't think of much else really to fault this phone, except for the fact that simply for what it is: It's a niche machine that's half tablet/half phone - it will never satisfy you as a tablet replacement(I feel the perfect size for video/game usage is the 8-9 inch range), and it will frustrate you as a phone because you can never comfortably hold it, and do all the things you need one-handed(I feel the perfect size for a PHONE is the Apple 5/5S). But if you can compromise to this form factor and accept it for what it is, then there is no better alternative. This is a nearly flawless phablet with an brilliant screen, powerful hardware, useful software, and awesome battery life.

  I am replacing a broken nexus 4 with this and like it better so far. The colors and contrast are great and I can reach every where with one thumb.  I can barely make out individual pixels at a normal distance.The speaker sounds good while on any side thanks to the curve, which also makes holding it comfortable. You can tell what side you are touching and feel the buttons easily without looking. The FM radio is a nice bonus. A very clean Android OS, only a few uninstallable Motorola apps. The camera app could be better (nexus 4s newest one let's you press any button to take a picture and tap to focus). There is only a USB charger, no outlet adapter or headphones, understandable for the price. Speeds are great. If you don't need a crazy camera or 4g this is as good as it gets in my opinion. They have matched the iPhone for a fraction of the price and no contract.

title: Great deal
text:
  I had an iPhone 3GS for a couple of years with AT&T.  I was out of contract and had for a while been fed up with bills between $70 and $80.  I had a plan with very little data (250MB) and international texts and calls generally cost way too much.So I wanted to see what life was like outside AT&T's walls.  I bought this phone and I am paying $39/month with Ultra.me. I'll discuss this carrier at the end of the review.Thus far it's been about 10 days and I am loving it.  My only slight regret is that a week after I bought this phone Motorola dropped the price on the big bro of this phone, the Moto X, and you can now buy it for $329 on their website.  I hope this comment doesn't get deleted, because Amazon sells the X for quite a bit more.If you're interested in the Moto X, the essential differences are these: (1) X is a bit more powerful; (2) X has 4G while G only 3G; (3) X has a 10Mpixel camera to the G's 5MP; (4) The X can pick up both the 1700 and the 1900 band, so you don't have to decide between the "US" version and the "Global" version of the phone.  If you trawl the reviews, as I did, the biggest beef with the G is with its camera.So, here's my take on the G.  It's so fast compared with my old phone -- I guess that's to be expected since my phone was 3 years old or so.  3G doesn't seem to be an issue, because the chip (I guess) is so fast.  Webpages load plenty fast.  I'm not a mega streamer of data -- I'm not watching netflix on 3g -- but on wifi, the screen definition looks fan-freaking-tastic.Compared with the iOS, I'm liking Android.  A lot.  I have always been an Apple guy, and love my Powerbook.  But I'm intrigued by Android.  The apps seem to work flawlessly.  When I got the phone, it immediately updated to Android Kitkat, and everything works fine.  I use Google Drive -- bonus, getting the Moto G got me 2 years of 50GB on Google Drive.  I may actually dump Dropbox for GD, although I kind of prefer the Dropbox UI.  I really like Google Gesture -- much easier to type than Apple's iOS hunt and peck.Essentially it all just works well.  Yes, the camera could be better, but hey -- it's $200.I went with the carrier Ultra.me for a variety of reasons.  One was that they have an international flavor, and I am often texting and phoning the UK.  For $39, I get 1000 international texts and 1000 minutes calling to the UK.  Both of those were quite a lot extra with AT&T.  I also get unlimited domestic calling and texts.  And 500MB 4G (in this case 3G) data, and then it's throttled down a lot (128kbps -- super slow).  As I said earlier, I'm not massively bothered about the data limits since I just don't use that much bandwidth.  Or at least I can be frugal and use wifi.  If I want to move up a tier, for $49 you get the same deal but 2GB of data instead of 500MB.  Ultra.me uses the T-mobile network, which was my one frustration, because I wanted to buy the "Global" version of the Moto G.  Unfortunately, the Global version doesn't include the 1700AWS band which T-Mobile still uses in various places for 3G.  There are various accounts online of T-m moving to 1900 (which IS on the global phone) but I just couldn't count on such anecdotal accounts (there are some in these Amazon reviews) and so decided to go for the "sure thing" of the US version.  I have mixed feelings about this since I sometimes travel to Western Europe and envisaged using the phone with a European SIM card -- and most European countries use 2100 for 3/4G data. But oh well.  It's $200.

title: No LTE, but an otherwise great phone for cheap!
text:
  I purchased this for my college age daughter to replace a seriously old Samsung Android phone (like v.2.3!).  While she wanted an iPhone, I do not have one for myself, nor am I rich enough to afford four of them for the whole family.  I was resigned to having to purchase another pricey phone with T-Mobile (which, while the coverage is not the best, offers the best family rates going, especially after their latest separation of phones and plans), or a bargain model that I would hear complaints about.  When I read about the Moto G being released and its phenomenally low price, I assumed it would be a dual or single core processor model, with a mediocre screen.  When I read the specs on it, I could not believe Motorola (Google) could offer such a phone for the price.  Either they are losing money or just breaking even (of course, Google's core business is advertising, so they probably are planning on the long term value).  Regardless, the phone is awesome.  Hopefully this will be the future of "low end" phones.The screen is large, but not monstrous, ideal for my daughter that definitely did not want a big display phone, but something small and easily handled.  The resolution is ideal and not an overkill 1080p display that taxes the GPU and battery.  The quad core processor gives the phone plenty of pep, although I cannot comment on game play (I don't understand playing games on a phone, given the small display, but that is a personal choice).  The battery is embedded in the device and there is no additional memory card slot for expansion (a Google device habit), so if you plan on having a lot of media and apps, I suggest the 16Gb version (8Gb is fine for her use and I'm cheap!).  If you want to load all your music on it, you better look elsewhere.  I am not sure of how long the battery lasts, but I have not heard a complaint about it yet. The camera seems OK, although I did not play with it that much, and really don't see the need for high resolution camera phones, give the limited sensor area available (get a digital point and shoot, or better yet, a nice used film camera -- I am a diehard fan of film in all its sizes, from 35mm to 4x5!).When first booted up, the phone was ready for Android 4.4, which I suggest using wifi to perform, unless you have unlimited data, speed, and/or patience as it is a big file (this was before adding the sim card, so I did not have it on T-Mobile's network at the time).  A quick restart and the phone was ready to go, using the standard Google logon.  Android on this phone is gloriously free of bloatware (like Samsung and HTC insist on stuffing on their phones), other than probably two apps.  The included Motorola app for transferring settings and files worked perfectly, taking a few minutes to do its thing (you install it on your old phone and connect to the same wifi, following the prompts).  I had to get a micro sim card from T-Mobile, but that was free via mail order (note that it will take prepaid and postpaid sims, defaulting to your plan -- it is just a "dumb" sim), or from what I later read, possibly free in retail locations.  I learned about the universal sim card by mistakenly ordering the prepaid for our postpaid plan.  Setting it up was easy on T-Mobile's website, with the phone was switched over within minutes of finalizing online.The only minor negative, is that the phone does not support LTE, but is otherwise 3G, and fast enough in our area. But I knew this when ordering. There have been no complaints about the call quality, either.My daughter seems fine with the phone, including no complaints about performance.  This is a kid that has no trouble of literally letting me know if things "suck," so I consider it an awesome "bargain" phone not locked to a carrier.Had this phone been available when I purchased the HTC One, I would have purchased it for myself.  I like the HTC, especially its slightly bigger screen for my slowly decaying eyesight, but the bloatware and cost are not worth it.  I highly recommend the Moto G and look forward to replacing the HTC One with whatever iteration is available when needed.I added the following screen protector to the phone, Archshield - Moto G Premium High Definition (HD) Clear Screen Protector 3-Pack (no longer available on Amazon, thus no link), but suggest another brand, as my installation was troublesome.  If Spigen comes out with screen protectors I recommend them, finding them to be the best available (and the company is quick to reply to inquiries).  The following protective case is recommended, as long as you know the color of the pink version did not quite match that displayed online TUDIA Ultra Slim Melody TPU Bumper Protective Case for Motorola Moto G SmartPhone (Pink).One other thing of note forgotten in the initial review:  Before purchase, I read of issues with the back, removable portion of the phone being easily damaged during removal to access the micro sim slot.  Knowing this I was careful to follow the instructions and treat the back gently.  You can see how easy it would be to damage it by bending it a little too far.  Just something to be aware of.

title: Great phone, I am very happy with it (16GB) US version
text:
  I have had the phone for a week now and overall I am very pleased.  I use my tablet or computer, when doing more in depth reading or working online.  I am not someone who likes spending hours on their phone or watching movies or too many videos, I don't feel that the screen is large enough to be comfortable for that purpose.I use my phone primarily for: - Quickly looking things up online (not a lot of surfing) - Google Maps/GPS/Driving directions - Alerts (Facebook/Meet Up events/texts/email) - Streaming music in my car (Last FM)Drawbacks to the Moto G (for me) - Lack of 4G (the phone is only 3G) does not bother me.  It feels faster than my older Samsung, and just as fast as my daughter's new Samsung that does have 4G.  Like I said, I don't do heavy web surfing on my phone.Pluses - Just the right size - You can use it with one hand/ fits in the pocket of your jeans without being too large (like a Samsung 3 or Note) - Super speedy - Apps load very fast! - The interface is helpful and easy to use - I love how through the google app, it alerts me to the current weather, my best commuting options (based on the time of day - Somehow it seems to know my work schedule), stock alerts all in one place and pushed to me based on preferences. Also, the alerts (the pull down menu at the top of the screen) are very helpful and include alters from my apps and a summary of a most recent email, so you can get the gist without opening the app. I cannot tell you how unexpected and nice this has been! - Initial set up was a breeze, their is an app to help you transfer everything over from your old phone.  Also, it prompts you to update the softwareSome others may already be familiar with the newer android interface, but I upgraded from the original Galaxy.  They quit updating the OS a long time ago, so this is a big step up for me.Bottom line, this is a great phone, not just a great cheap phone. Buy this one and spend your hard earned dollars on a tablet for web surfing.

title: Best Phone I've Ever Owned
text:
  I bought the Moto G because my Sony Xperia Ion bricked itself for the second time and was out of warranty. I didn't have time/patience to deal with AT&T's support/replacement process and wanted to get an Android phone that wouldn't break the bank and would hold me over until my upgrade later in the year. After some research, the Moto G was the best option for me, and what I got was much more than what I expected.The phone, just simply, works. The interface is the fastest and most responsive of any phone I've owned. Apps install and load very quickly. It's unlocked, so there's no carrier-specific bloatware taking up RAM or storage space. The display is bright and colorful...I was surprised that a display this nice was on a phone under $200; it's easily on par with the Sony Bravia display on the Ion or the Retina display on my friends' iPhones. The data is 3G which I was worried about, but I honestly haven't noticed a difference between 3G on this phone and LTE on my last phone. My download speed averages about 8 Mbps, which is more than enough for my daily tasks. Android KitKat is the best iteration of Android that I've used, with a number of features that by themselves make the price worth it.My only qualms are that the rear camera is a step down from my previous phone (5MP instead of 12MP), and the power/volume buttons on the side are a bit lose. There's also no SD card slot, but even after loading the pictures and apps that were on my previous phone, I still have about 6 GB remaining on the phone. (16 GB model)I was skeptical because all the reviews I read seemed TOO positive, but I have to add mine to that pile. This is the best phone that I've ever owned, and I don't think that I'll even bother with the AT&T upgrade when it comes around.

  As said above, the phone performs well. As an android(Kitkat) phone, the world of google play and millions of apps are compatible with this phone. Regardless of the app or number of apps loaded on the phone, it launches and runs them with ease. The back camera is also quite good and the led flash is very bright resulting in good pictures in dark situations. The display is bright and sharp and very respectable for a 4.5 inch device. Speaker is LOUD! Charge overnight and you'll be good all day. Get the 16GB, over time 8GB will fill up. Build quality and materials are ok (plastic, no metals here). A wide variety of after market cases and accessories are available and are recommended. Great deal for the average to slightly advanced user, you wont be dissapointed.

  I got this phone as a replacement for my Motorola Defy, I was thinking about getting another motorola from the start. Then Motorola anounced this one. I was surprised at first by the spcs you get by the price so i decided to go for this one.At first, when i Got it the box was really small, so it was a bit misleading due to the size of the actual phone, which is decently big, next i was surprised by the network speeds i got with it, Usually i got like 2 or 3mbps tops on my old phone, with this one i topped at 9mbps which is amazing.I Got the 16GB version due to the lack of an External SD Card, which is no biggie since i noticedd i didn't actually need it since i Use a lot of cloud sevices like Google Play Music and Spotify and the likes.Camera at the beginnig was a bit lacky, i got the Kitkat update and then i proceeded to root and install Android Tweaker 2 in order to get the Bravia Engine 3 running on my phone, i do believe that it boosted the image quality, which, after the update, wasn't that bad.It was bigger that i expected for some reason, but I definetly Like it.

title: Review from an AVID iphone user of most models and former Windows 7 Lumia 920
text:
  First I will say that windows 8 is AMAZING. I had the Nokia Lumia 920 and likes a lot of the personalization features but it lacked my Pandora, pinterest, myfitnesspal, Spotify, and other apps I use daily so I went back to IPhone.NOW, Onto the Lumia 1520. I  had the IPhone 4S. I liked a lot about my iphone but was bored. Seems like since Steve Jobs passing...theres nothing awing about new phones 5, 5c and 5s. Same ol Same ol EXCEPT now...a lot of my apps are always crashing. My wifi isn't that strong in my room, my front camera quit...and it's almost the same as the first iPhone. A lot of good changes but not very many customization features for me. Plus with apple products...EVERYTHING costs.BEFORE PURCHASE:  I decided to get Nokia Lumia 1520 BECAUSE1. Supposedly had many of the apps that I previously could not get on my old Nokia2. More customization with Windows 83. Beautiful Big Screen Like a Tablet4. Amazing Camera by Carl Zeiss5. Mostly...Side by Side comparison that I did with IPhone 5c, 5s and Lumia 1020.(if you can do this side by side comparison which I did on AT&T...I would do it because it answers a lot of questions and made my decision 100%)6. Ability to Expand storage with the miniSD port7. Ability to get phone in yellow. It was a hard decision between yellow and red because they are both beautifully vibrant but I went with yellow because I love the brighter.UNBOXING:Amazed by color brightness, screen brightness, size and beautiful camera.In the first few days I learned a few more awesome things1. the Lumia now does SnapShot and if you are or have been an iPhone user this is awesome.2. There is a driving mode you can set up with a Bluetooth device to avoid wrecks. No touching phone while driving.3. Some of the apps that were previously said not to be on the windows phones were now there. In face the only thing I do not have that I used a lot was weight watchers...they just have a rinkidink calculator but im sure that will update.4. I can trim videos.5. The live tiles are awesome.Apps that I use a lot that are available that on some reviews were said not to bePinterestSpotifyRdioInstagramAmazonAllrecipesNetflixPandoraMyFitnessPalApp folder (to organize all your apps like IPhone)FREE RINGTONES...NO MORE PAYING FOR THAT CRAPKidsCornerWallet to store credit cardsRun the MapRuntasticVineYouTubeHDI have had this less than a week so I know I will learn more and I will rereview or add to it but my current Conclusion isIf you are looking to upgrade and thinking about trying something new...better camera...more customization with out sacrificing simplicity...live tiles...mostly free apps...free ringtones...driving mode...no sacrificing your current apps, free office, ability to back up on skydrive and at&t locker....find your phone...ANNNND SOOO MUCH MORE...SWITCH! You wont regret it.Things to know:1. This phone is huge...6 inches. I LOVE IT...some do not. I can see everything beautifully.2. Get a CASE! SERIOUSLY This phone is very slippery on the back. You need some kind of protection and grip to prevent dropping it or if you do to help protect from the fall. *Be carefully applying tight cases...do not press hard on display screen because you can easily distort color on display screen*3. GET A SCREEN PROTECTOR...I recommend armor brand. They have lifetime warranty and less than 10 bucks with amazon free prime shipping.4. If you want smaller phone..you might try Nokia Lumia 1020...better camera and smaller but lacks some of the specs 1520 has. Do side by side comparison.

text:
  Nokia built an amazing phone with customized applications and Windows Phone 8 performs flawlessly. Super fast processor, smooth video; you can finally watch a video and listen to it with Bluetooth headphones (mine is Plantronics backbeat 903+).For those skeptical regarding applications, there is Instagram and Whatsapp for W8 (download is free for both) and many more free apps, although Lumia 1520 brings a load of essential applications.Very advisable to buy a cover, not only for its protection but for a better handling. I found the device extremely slippery in my hands. I purchased a cover with kick stand, so I can eat and read or watch a video.W8 automatically backs up most your data (pics, docs and videos) to skydrive, which is very convenient. All contacts I had on my HTC HD7 (Windows phone 7.5) was imported as soon as I register my accounts (Hotmail, Facebook and Google) even without the sim card. A great feature is that you can access your Lumia 1520 from your PC as if it is an external hard drive. You can also receive and send several kinds of files via Bluetooth. The NFC (Near Field Communication)  is amazing!!I still donnot understand people who rather pay a lot more for an IPhone or Android!!I also purchased a 32Gb micro SD (you can install up to 64Gb), which is another feature Iphones don't have.Also amazing is the battery. You will now have a phone that will keep up with you all day, provided you make a normal use of it. Remember to charge it, use it until battery runs out and charge it again, so that your battery will be optimized.Only disappointment regards to the charger which is European. Although seller sends (at no cost) an American adapter, it gets to be a very clumsy piece (both together).Well done Microsoft and Nokia.February 6th UpdateToday I test the Here Nokia (the built in GPS) I turned it on together with my car's GPS, except that I made it work offline. Both GPSs took me from where I was to where I wanted to go flawlessly. The Here Nokia offers more detailed information and precision. I am being amazed day after day by its software.

Excellent job by Nokia & Microsoft with their first phabletPros- Zero lag on Windows unlike andriod .Like the fluid nature of windows 8.- Amazing screen and camera , very nice choice of Nokia Cam apps . Just blows Note out of the water .Full 1080 display- Great hardware specs- Very solid premium feel to the phone , you might want to get a cover though .- Best part is its SD slot accessCons ( more on OS side)- windows need to refine their keyboard , something like Blackberry Z10 did .- waiting for HUB , hopefully 8.1 will have it . Lumia 1520 came installed with Lumia Black Update .I am still yet to figure out why it shows 4G/3G instead on Edge on T-Mobile though .

title: It is a big leap fordward it but continues to lack important features
text:
  The hardware part is 5 stars but the software is good but it lack some very important features like true multitasking, notification center, only one possible launcher (it is not interchangeable), and lack of apps (in comparison to IPhone and Android).are features that not having them affects the usability of this phone.

title: this phone is not unlocked.
text:
  it is locked to T-mobile and they won't give you the sim pin.  I called and tried and they would not give me the code.  I am with ATT and this phone is useless unless to me and for anyone not with T-mobile, unless you can get that pin.

  This phone is a dream!!!!!!!!!! Extremely fast, incredibly high quality screen, camera only second to Lumia 1520, a joy to have and to use. 2 days of battery on a single charge is also great. Way to go Nokia.If you're looking for a MicroSD card, I purchased the "SanDisk Extreme Plus 64 GB microSDHC Class 10 UHS-I", it works perfectly, and 96GB of space can never be too much!!!!!
