Guys I previously owned an htc desire until a small mishap with the phone made me go and buy another phone. This time not wanting to spend a lot of money I bought the GIO. At first I was a little skeptical about it's status but after usage I realized that there is not much difference from my previous phone. Apart from the proprietary company softwares not much difference. At times I do feel it's a tad slow than my Desire but not a significant difference. Now I plan to upgrade it to gingerbread 2.3. Lastly a good phone to own in budget range cos if you lose an expensive phone just like that it really hurts but this GIO baby really made my day.

As oposed to S2, Gio can actually fit in your pockets and it`s much cheaper.
I`ve had this phone for 2 months, now.
I am impressed with solid construction (back lid gives you a sense of grip)and fast proccessor.
Kies upgraded it to 2.3.3 Gingerbread.
Lack of flashlite is kind of frustrating since overall camera works fine (has autofocus).
This is my first phone with wireless and GPS and you can imagine my satisfaction since they work out just fine.
I am reading quite a lot on internet on wireless, 10-15 calls and sms per day and the battery has juice for 1-1.5 days, but I don`t mind.
Overall, the best phone I ever had.

If you want to buy android phone be sure you can adapt to new technology because this is a sensitive-type of phone. This is not like the basic phone you used before. Keep basic if you don't want yourself complicated.

Devil's Advocate, 21 Nov 2011when i had GIO with android 2.2.1 its fine and great as i ... moreEither you'll have to root your set to install froyo again or take it to customer service center and ask them to do it. I'm not sure about second option though but you should try it first because that might not require rooting.

Guys this is an awesome phone. Really !
A phone with a fantastic touch along with sharp, clear and bright screen. FAST. Camera result is great. You would love using internet on it. It's battery is quite nice but if you are continuously using wifi, watching videos, it would definitely gonna drain in about 20 to 24 hours. But for normal use it can easily go by 2 to 3 days.
Those who are thinking about buying this phone, just go for it. I bet you won't regret it. You would definitely gonna live this thing.
Cheers.
