Terrible
Phone owned for more than a year

Okay phone but for price it is truly terrible. They really need to work on some of the features. The case is fake, the phone is slow. The resolution and media playback are terrible. Phones memory is extremely limited and while expandable most apps do not support external storage.

Not the worst
Phone owned for more than a year

But not good, either. I had this phone for over a year and a half, and my frustrations with it only became worse the longer I had to deal with it. My main issues were the outdated technology and lack of features, as well as the unbearbly slow ui, and poor battery life that deteorated significantly over time. Overall, I'm glad I don't have to deal with this thing anymore.

:D Nice phone and stuff (except camera)
Phone owned for more than a year

lovely phone but now that i have an xperia z it kinda brings back memories of me using it and see all my other friends tease me about having an old phone but i still have but i don't use it. i still love it but the camera was not my favorite part of this phone and when i use it it feels weird because im used to using a super snappy phone so it feels really slow but actually its not that slow. just the single core processor.it a very nice phone feels good in the and and very responsive.
looks nice with the metal band on the side. but i wouldn't recommend getting it now because its 2013 now and there are far better phone for the same price as the optimus one now.
