dissappointed with electrify m

Posted: Aug 03, 2013, 10:39 PM

Phone owned for less than a year

Bought this phone because of its great reception reputation. Couldnt even get 3g where I live and only got one bar with many dropped calls and dropped internet. Took it back for replacement phone just recently and cant get 4g with that phone either. Battery life if excellent. Camera is so so. Would have a hard time recommending this phone since I have had two with neither capable of getting 4g

Phone owned for less than a month

It's an all around awesome phone. Not to big or bulky, weight is great. Touch screen is way better than the last smart phone I had being a Samsung windows phone. The Android market is crazy great with options unlike the limited windows market. The price was well worth it for what I payed at Us Cellular, under a hundred bucks! Loving the photo quality, battery life is wonderful specially since I use it as a music player when I'm at work! Great reasonably priced investment for all my needs!

This is a great phone it has never made me mad from freezes or from poor quality. It has always got everything I wanted it to do Done. The battery is not bad for a smart phone either, last me up to 19 hours some days
