Hue

Have 4 Hues, and for the money...this is the way to go. Good reception, good sound, generally good phone. Had an issue with one of them, but did a return through warranty and no issues since that time. The covers that can be purchased make it easy to switch the color of your phone without any tools like some phones, and the good news is that it doesn't void your warranty as changing faceplates on some models do. Camera is one of the quickest I've seen when it comes to snapping pictures. Takes nice pictures for a cell phone. Speakers on the MP3 player are better than any of the other phones that I have except for maybe the LGAX8600. Ringtone volume and earpiece volume are good. Wish the outer display was a little more high-tech.

Pros

decent price, decent quality

Cons

outer display "old fashioned"

Is okay but the sound needs to be a little louder. Its features are cool, but the signal strength needs work too, overall its a good phone.
