Detailed review
OK, I'm not going to lie to you Marge, the battery on this isn't that great I mean 1520mah and you can't get a buffer battery for it because it's a magazine clip style battery... that being said, if you optimize the phone and you put most of your apps on to the SD card, this thing is a really dependable device. I like mine and my company is offering us to switch to a Photon or a Galaxy Victory (Frankly, I think I may stay with this phone). Yes it's single core processor, and yes the RAM is less than 1GB, but it does work well if you optimize the heck out of it and don't mind being a bit of a tech nut ;) -- Last thing I'll say in a negative manner about the phone is that it is wiMax, so no 4G unless you live in a big area, this isn't a big deal for me and I'm cool with 3G most of the time anyway, so if you have to get one of these, don't feel bad - they're pretty dependable and they do well.
