The real review on this phone

Edited: Oct 03, 2012, 5:59 PM

Phone owned for more than a year

The HTC STATUS as a phone that I use ALL THE TIME AND FOR ALL THE PHONE CAN DO. I tried to change phones within 1 to 2 days after I got it and AT&T WOULD NOT LET ME. My grace period had run out even though i had just got it from them. The HTC STATUS SUCKS unless you use it just to make calls and then good luck. You have to DELETE APPS AND UPDATES TO GET NEW APPS OR EVEN TO TAKE NEW PICTURES, BECAUSE OF THE EXTREMELY LIMITED MEMORY OF THE PHONE. I have a 8G SD card to put apps i download and pictures. It FREEZES CONSTANTLY AND I CANNOT WAIT TO GET RID OF IT FOR ANOTHER BRAND.

i don not like this phone

Phone owned for less than a year

will , i have this phone since April 2012
i`m suffering from memory problem ( ram thing )
it`s a facebook phone , how they give you like 20 MB at most to run in ,
twitter , facebook and whatsapp will kill your memory .

also the QWERTY keyboard is not that good, you need to push the outter buttons harder than normal .

i do not like this phone .

this phone have any thing you might want from an android phone, it has a small screen but this screen shines as brilliant!
and the full text keyboard makes you faster than anyone to type messages, facebook status and.. don't judge too quickly and try this. :)
