Great phone. Built really well. Excellent signal reception. Really good build quality. Thin and light. Splash resistant. Camera is okay quality, as with the screen and battery life. OS was really buggy and slow but Jelly Bean update is way better. Internal storage is a chore. Uses single partition to store apps and data like Nexus devices but is only about 2.5GB and no way to move apps so internal memory is full after only downloading two games and nothing else.
- Build quality, kevlar backing feels and looks cool
- Gorilla Glass is just amazing
- Reception just blows away any Samsung, HTC, etc
- ColorBoost display looks really good, but still no excuse for low DPI
- MicroSD Card slot
- USB OTG support
- Very lightly skinned UI. Leads to a smooth, fast and fluid experience
- Small internal memory, 4GB with about 2.2GB useable
- No way to move apps to SD card
- Terrible software updates, as with almost all Motorolas
- Camera is a noisy
- No NFC
- No HDMI
- Wierdly slow for an OMAP4430. Galaxy Nexus feels 3x faster and uses same processor.
- No removable battery
This phone is tough and reliable. It is not the most fashionable and when my employer handed these out to the team as work phones I wasn't disappointed as I have a Nexus, but definitely not thrilled either. As time has gone by. This phone has served well. Granted US Cellular's service is abysmal, but everything else about this phone is quite snappy. Photos look rough but gaming is fun on the bigger screen. Browsing the internet for quick how to's or tips and tricks, were a cinch and as such I have grown fond of this phone. It's not trendy, but it actually is, specification wise, better than most androids out there. I have dropped this thing on concrete many times, and I'm 6'4". This phone doesn't have a scratch on it.
- Reliable and tough.
- US Cellular's crappy 3g service
