4.7 out of 10

i had this phone for about three days and it gave me nothing but a headache, literally. im not sure if it was the screen or the fact that you cant turn off the predictive text which trys to predict the next work you are going to text no matter what mode you are in based on previous word combinations even if youve only used them once, trust me its beyond annoying the keypad isnt the greatest the battery life isnt good either the camera is good and the internet speed is fast, and the design is very good looking, but if you want a phone for the same price (on sale now anyways) get the samsung rant. its got way better features

Pros

stylish, fast, lightweight, compact

Cons

cant turn off predictive text or next word predictions, hard to text, very short battery life, lacks many common features (tip calculator, erase all feature for pix messaging, etc)

The phone is great by itself, but the service is not at their best. The phone is easy to slide but is easy to smudge. When I open the music store it closes! And I had tons of song son the phone and it wont work. Here's the upside...........

Easy to slide

good pictures

good texting

easy to navigate

cool looking

good calling features

I was going to get the Samsumg Highnote but I wasn't going to wait that long. My main focus is MUSIC!!!! I'm a musician. Sprint just needs to get their act together because the music is way expensive! Other than that keep going Sprint and Samsung.
