This was my first phone, and when I got it two years ago, it was fast, fun, and perfect. It wasn't long, however, before I realized that the battery was horrible, only holding a full charge for a maximum of 45 min. in standby. Slowly but surely, the phone itself began to run more slowly, and I--a teenage blogger fanatic--was left with a phone that would die after three hours on Instagram and Tumblr. The crowning blow to the phone came about a year ago, halfway through my contract with Sprint: the phone fried itself. No damage came to the battery, and the technicians couldn't find any evidence of corrosion, but the phone fried itself. It was replaced with an identical model, but the damage had been done. I don't recommend this phone if you have more than a one-year contract.
