Great phone at a reasonable price
Phone owned for more than a year

This is my 1st smartphone, but 2 of my kids and my wife are Apple slaves, so i am able to asses this phone against a known benchmark. My youngest 2 kids have htc's, so all in all 3 Apple and 3 Android phone house. My cheap Ascend 1 was able to beat Iphone 4 download and general use speeds, but since the kids now have iphone 5's i am now relegated to 3rd place. This phone is a great size, easy to use, generally does whats asked with a 2 day battery life. I will be looking at a P7 as my upgrade in December, this is unless Huawei brings out an even newer phone. Only issues i have had is finding a flip case to fit, this is due to the wierd shape of the back and it sometimes fails to answer an incoming call.
