                          hello all,this little Review for this phone and for people out there want to know about this phone.
                          i just got it 3 days ago and am happy with it but..
                          first there is misled info on GSMarena spec. about the phone. it doesn't have internal 8GB memory(some seller include 8gb memory card some include 4Gb memory card),Android version 2.1, processor speed 550 not 600... no built-in HDMI slot.
                          i think they should correct them(i made my decision buying this phone based on their spec.)
                          Hardware Review:
                          phone built quality is very nice (metal like) not plastic..i had the way the battery door cover open(very hard)
                          phone speed is ok not super fast like Desire(1GHZ cpu) but fine,
                          LCD quality very bright and nice.
                          very amazing good quality pictures even in the Dark(flash on) video is amazing.
                          Sound quality(music or video) very loud and clear.
                          phone call quality loud and clear
                          Gaming is a pleasure.
                          Software:
                          phone does come with little software then you have to go to market and get tons of APP.
                          easy to customize and make it different UI look.
                          overall am satisfied cause its my first android phone.
                          hope this review was useful.
                          Thanks

                                      I've been using this phone for about 3 weeks. It has been a joy to use. I like the form factor and how it felt in my hand. Speed is good. Call quality is very good. Picture quality is by far the best I've seen on a smartphone. Integration with Google services are another big plus. Overall it's a nice phone to have.

                                      There have been a couple of glitches that forced me to do a hard reset (ie remove the battery) in order to get it working again. But I suspect that's android/app issue, not the phone itself.
