Phone owned for less than 3 months

I recomand you to turn off 3G, Wi fi, mobile data and all unnecessary stuff when don`t need it. It is not a business phone, can be usefull for regular users. I charge it every 4-5 days and only realy bad thing is camera- has no flash and there is no focus (!?!?). It is not good phone for "widget maniacs", buy it if you need occasional fun and internet from time to time.
