After years and years of using Iphones, I decided it was time to give an Android a shot. While I wanted a Galaxy (they are a great choice), they were a bit out of my price range, and with my upgrade AT&T was willing to give me on of these for $100. All those features, for that cheap? A quad core processor, pretty decent camera, gorilla glass screen, kevlar construction, and all those cool Droid features and programability? I couldn''t resist, I thought I''d gotten the phone steal of the century, and after spending about a week learning how to navigate through the droid software, I thought it was too good to be true. Turns out, it was. This thing''s reliability is absolutely abysmal. Within a month it began shutting itself down randomly, and would often refuse to turn back on for several hours. This problem eventually passed, and I thought the woes were behind me. NOPE. For the next few months it had repeated hiccups, frequently quitting out of apps spontaneously, changing wallpapers on its own, making emergency phone calls at random (no joke), and other things. And then, right about 7 months after I got it, things got really bad. It started completely crashing whenever I used the internet browser, and would shut down for a solid half hour or so, then turn back on, only to flash white, produce all sorts of odd patterns on the screen, and crash again. And now it does this repeatedly, several times a day. So basically I only have a functioning phone half the time. This device is an absolute disaster. I mean the features are great, outstanding even, and when it works it''s quite cool to be honest (all of my friends wanted to mess around with my "space machine" when it was new). But that''s the problem. It DOESN''T work. Honestly just stick to an Iphone or a Galaxy. All these no name Droids are no named for a reason, their reliability is a nightmare. What a headache. Perhaps I got a dud, but from what I''ve read a lot of people have been having problems with the Optimus G. Go for something else, save yourself the agony. While it isn''t as capable or customizable, at least an Iphone works.
