Only cons are the lack of secondary cam and overheating. 720p videos do not play on the stock video player, any third party interface would work. The overheating can be controlled a bit by using an optimizer, which closes background processes. And yeah, you can use the primary cam for video calls :P I give an overall 8.5 for it :D

                              Bought this phone a month back and I am really impressed by the way the phone handles .Everything is so smooth and quick.battery lasts long compared to my other phones ,I use it to call, browse and play games each for about 1.5 hours and the battery still holds up for around 30 hours.The only problem I read about is the lack of hd recording but I don't care about it so this phone for me is one of the best.
                              The look is good and its an real eye catcher.
