Detailed review
Aside from a few issues, this phone is great. The device is just about the perfect size. Weight and build quality are exceptional. This phone has had several nasty falls and works every time. Touchscreen is very accurate. I have noticed that as it has gotten older and had more apps installed, it has seemed to bog down a bit.

I do dislike the bloatware that is on almost every phone today. And the phone will completely lock up about once a week, forcing me to pull the battery to reset; but this would probably be solved by restarting more frequently.
