Detailed review
This would be a great little phone if it weren't so damn slow. The problem was when they upgraded the version of android that was on it. Instead of the faster 1.6 that it started with, they upgraded it to something newer, and unfortunately the phone's specs just couldn't keep up. It's so slow that it's almost unusable. Right now I have it rooted and am running a custom 2.3 rom on it and it's just fine. I'm going to be very happy using this until my upgrade time comes along in a few months. But without hacking it and putting something faster on it, you're going to hate using this phone.
