Have had this since november and i love it!
Phone owned for less than a year

Got this in November of 2010 and still use it cause its amazing!
IDK about every one else saying internet is laggy and stuff like that but to me its the opposite i guess its just luck with your phone and how you treat it!
Also why i REALLY love this phone its cause you can root it and have free high speed wifi :D
calling is not the best but better then some of my old phones, but i mean this is a txting phone more then a calling :/
People say it lags but i guess those are just people new to phones i mean i go back to black and whites which i still found ways to enjoy.
One down i found is that i have to turn off the phone when i download music from any source :/
Camera is awesome i mean its not the Xperia Ray 8 MegaPixels but still awesome
display gets oily from my fingers but thats just the protection not a screen problem
Cases break easily though but thats cause theres no way to make a good case for it and no way to improve the design of the phone without making it even bigger (gave up with cases after my 3rd one)
Also while in a case for a long time it gets these little scratches which people told me was sweat collected on it
Display is great especially compared to in iPhone :)
Internet speed is awesome iPhone is a bit faster on that though (Verizon)
Overall AMAZING phone!
battery seems to empty somewhat fast in some situations but charges like a boss

not the best and first smartphone ive had
Phone owned for less than a year

Not impressed with the lagging internet speed it performed. Keyboard started to take wear and tear. Very spazzy and sensitive off and on, and roughly only a month later my camera randomly went blurry and couldn't be fixed. The positive was it had incredible recharge speed with the battery. Didn't take long to charge it.
