Excellent
Phone owned for less than a year

REALLY GOOD PHONE!!! IT WAS ON ICS WHEN I BOUGHT IT(4.0.4) AND I UPGRADED IT TO JELLYBEAN (4.1.2). REALLY SNAPPY, LOADS APPS REALLY QUICK, MOST GAMES PLAY WITHOUT ANY SIGN OF LAG(EXCEPT ONE). THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT AFTER THE UPDATE TO JB, I COULD MAKE OR ANSWER CALLS, BUT THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO FIX WHEN I FACTORY RESETED THE DEVICE. HAVENT TESTED HOW WATERPROOF THE PHONE IS, BECAUSE THE "DOOR" FOR THE USB CABLE HAS BROKEN(ANYONE LOOKING TO BUY IT, NOTE THAT THE DOORS FOR THE PORTS BREAK EASILY).THE BUILD QUALITY IS EXCELLENT, THE SCREEN AND THE OVERALL SIZE IS JUST RIGHT, FILLS YOUR HAND WITHOUT BEEING TOO BIG.OVERALL GREAT PHONE I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO EVERYONE!

Three months.
Phone owned for less than 3 months

So, a lovely phone with lovely design though may lose it's headphone and USB cover quite easilly.

It has had two updates since I've had it, in almost three months so I have it like a new gadget quite often...

And hmh, I don't really have anything to write here anymore, used the rating boxes already...

Anyway, I'd suggest this phone if you're looking for a decent phone with affordable pricetag since it's movie quality is great at least in picture, sound ain't top notch though.
Umm... It has quite a lot memory as in media storage and it doesn't really lag that much most of the time though bringing up phone keyboard for calling... It just takes a lot to start up at times and I'm done, I messed up the review text part, sorry. :D
