ZTE N800(AWE)

Phone owned for more than a year

This is a good dual core phone and yet more usable but when in most buildings there is no connection as the only thing that is usable is calls and yet those suffer as well in this situation. when using this phone for radio (Pandora Internet Radio) the phone becomes uncomfortably warm to the touch especially around the camera as using CPU Temp the peak was 172*F and the battery (Temperature Guard Free) was 120*F (nice hand warmer on cold days) and for charging at this temp forget it. it stops all charging when the battery gets to a temp of 113*F for safety reasons. The major flaws are that it has (for me) restarted for no reason at all which also includes when in call. So I bought another in hope that it would be a defective phone as i was disappointed in my results as rooting was the only option left and after 4 months stumbled upon "Kernel Tuner" and severely tweaked the kernel and the dalvik cache from 128mb to 196mb as the constant restarting has stopped and was a lot more user friendly. But i caution you if you are to take the same steps as i, bricking your phone become apparent and more realistic to tweaking your kernel (think expensive paperweight). listening to music was an issue as well as i used the equalizer and having it in the background failed constantly when not in the view of the eye and not in standby.

Decent Phone, Great Price

Phone owned for less than a year

This is a great beginner level phone. It has all the basics that you need for getting through the day. It's rather laggy and the camera is disappointing, and it's only 3g enabled. The battery life is surprising at most and can last me almost a full day without plugging in. Its on Virgin Mobile for 80 dollars but can be picked up on amazon for 50-60.
