legendary smart phone to date!
Phone owned for less than 3 months

so far its blown my mind. awesome for gaming with minor lag but overall good. the speed of the phone it self has been really good but using metro's 4g network is ok. i bought a $1 case off ebay and despite gorilla glass still bought a screen protector. battelry life is the biggest winner here (lasting 5 hours at %100) but only if you turn off the 4g network besides that it drains pretty fastoverall good and nothing strange has happen...yet XD

p.s. there was a small issue with the card reader but it was a class issue (it was a class 2 micro sd card) classes 4, 6, 10 work.
