The texts not sending most I put down to the network, but that aside the phone is always turning itself off the response time for using the screen and opening apps and even message is pretty outdated at best, all the phone has going for it is battery life which will soon drain if you leave the wifi on. It might of been good when it came out compared to the bricks of the day but this phone is actually a piece of s. The os on it isn't the newest but I've had enough with its performance as it is I don't acually care if it breaks it I'm going to mod cyanogen on it. Oh and that HD selling point, I have the correct cable now and it still doesn't just stream the tv seamlessly I've no idea how to get that working. I suppose it gets points for accessing the internet but not really because many other phones have the same if not better times doing that. I'm only reviewing it now because I was just using it and it decided to just turn off, and it had just finished charging so I don't know what that's all about. Being the first phone with dual core and being pretty old now or whatever I guess it's vintage or something though and worth keeping which is why it's getting 3 and not 2 stars for being a total pain. oh yeah and every other day it just resets, that's probably down to me never switching my phone off. If you are considering buying this phone as a collectable go for it, if you are considering it for use as a inexpensive phone in case you loose, drop or break it I guess that's also fine Its sturdy and strong it goes the full 12 rounds in that sense which almost makes me want to give it 4 stars but phones aren't rated on there ability to take falls in my book. The cameras decent though so it certainly deserves the 3* for that but if you use Snapchat it is very often like 3/4 times unable to open the camera and has to reset Snapchat. I like the ease of access for the connectivity and notifications you can even drag the bar down for it without unlocking the phone if you haven't used a password lock, you might be able to with one but I couldn't be bothered with mine so I'm not to sure, points for that anyway I'd give the phone 3 and a 1/2 overall but I'm not rounding it to 4 because it doesn't deserve it not this year maybe a year after release it would of and when it came out it could of even been creeping on the 5 but now it's definitely between 3-4.
