I purchased this phone 8 months ago. I was really excited about receiving a mid-level Android phone for so cheap. I used the phone with the stock operating system for 4 months. I hated the phone in the that duration of time. Despite the good hardware, the phone was sluggish and froze on me constantly. I felt like I had a legacy android phone. When you have to reboot your phone 4 times a day to keep it running, you know something is wrong. Then came the revelation: I wiped the phone of its OS/Rom and installed a custom ROM/OS. I put CM9/Android 4.0 on the phone. Guess what? Everything runs phenomenal! My wife has a Samsung Galaxy S2 and my phone now runs immensely faster than hers. I never experience lag or freezes, the GPS works flawless and fast. Honestly, I switch between 10 different apps in a matter of minutes and the phone never slows down. It runs extremely fast! I love it so much and it has now become my favorite phone. I'm glad I managed to save and salvage it because now it has become the gem I truly wanted.

First of all, for the $, this is an awesome phone. I have tried many and almost went with the Virgin Mobile plan on the Triumph phone. I really in my gut liked this phone better so my son now has that one. Also, but I am using GrooveIP (Voice over internet calls for free costs $4.99) with the close people I talk on the phone to, so this works great and the 100 minutes won't be a problem for me as I am really a texter for the most part. I love the phones size, it's not to big, and the sound is awesome. I only hate that the power button is on the right side. Here is the deal with the $30 a month plan, it has to be a new sign-up. Not sure if you can port your number, but I bought my phone from amazon and am on this plan, no problems!

This thing is just incredible! Android 2.3, 4G, Free GPS, mobile hotspot capabilities, T-Mobile TV, excellent call quality, superb speakerphones, 2 cameras and what not. It's amazing that the whole package is fitted in around $200. This actually brings in lot of value for the money paid and no other phone in market can beat it. I would certainly recommend this to anyone who's looking for cost effective Android phone with lots of capabilities (which actually work).
