THIS PHONE IS FIN-OMENAL!

I have had the Fin for about a week now, and not only is the phone amazing the service is the best I've ever had!! I have had every major carrier, and I can honestly say this one blows them all out of the water! I work in downtown Chicago, and commute out to the suburbs. The commute alone on the trains is a true test of any service! For one I've never seen anyone able to use their phone underground here on the subway...mine works FULL signal! Two, generally there's two spots on the hour train home that people lose their signal. Last night I talked on the phone from my suburb of New Lenox to downtown Chicago, an hour and ten minute ride without interruption! As for the phone itself the only downfall is the battery life, and the lack of a nicer external id display. As for the battery life though I have been streaming videos, using Google GPS, listening to music, and oh ya...talking and texting! So, having said that this phone literally does it all! More than the iPhone in my opinion. Do NOT be deceived by it's basic design this thing is a techie's dream, and my dream came true! I have been dying for a phone that does it all, and it truly truly does!!
