Excellent phone, I'm very satisfied, excellent screen, reacting to every touch, no lag ... I could not wait to take it and now I am very happy now. All recommendations for purchases. I do not know why this phone is in the shadow, but it's good because it is more than reasonable price, and the best ratio of price and quality. (I would not make it for that money) ;)

Decent entry into Windows Phones

Black43 has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

Bought this phone for myself as a replacement for my ageing Lumia 800, I have to say well done Samsung. This phone is fast, powerful and reliable, has already dropped a couple of times and still works perfectly. The camera is exceptionally good. There are some let downs though. The call quality is a bit grainy at high volumes, the apps are limited (but that's not Samsung's fault, that's Microsoft), and accessories are extremely hard to come by. Overall, it is a remarkable phone for the price I paid

got this phone

Good phone overall screen needs to be stronger though and the app store needs to be more open with what apps are available.
i rated this phone an 8 but some people might prefer to give it a 10. Each to their own really, i would personally prefer it to have more options on it than it has and a stronger screen and more accessories for it as its extremely hard to find cases etc for this phone.
