How does this phone stack up against Samsung? They compare themselves to Samsung on their site so I am assuming this is the niche they are going for?

I would say it's a niche. software wise it's really good if you're doing social apps and regular talking like text and calls. This cell is that great with netflix or skype and sime games it wont play atleast for me that is. The front view camera is pretty much garabage and over time the receiver and mic on the cell I asume dregrade since many people are stating right now that they can hear me and i tested it through voice recorder to see if I can hear myself and I can't really. So the mic probably is pretty cheap just like the phone itself. In my opinion I'm going to have to buy another cell cause it broke down very quickly than i expected. I would say just go with Samsung since the cell will last longer than this. If you want to buy this cause it's waterproof like i did I wouldnt invest in this since all the locations where the caps are are cheaply made and will come off. If any other questions just ask away and i'll respond back to you. Hope I answered your question including giving you more info than what you asked for.

I am currently looking at the BlackBerry Z10 and the Samsung G4 both in comparison are very similar. I think the BlackBerry Z10 for the money is the better deal and saving $5 per month less than what I pay now a month is sweet.Give those two a look see.Good Luck.Mark

To be true I don't know but in the other hand most of any new phones that are unlocked will work with almost any carrier worldwide. The thing that I know in particular about this phone is... 1- Intenal memory IS VERY LIMITED even though used to have my own SD micro memory card the stupid phone was always asking for all kind of updates to the point that it got full of crap, what was full of? I'll never know but at some point even for updating the weather could not open the app because "the internal memory is full, please delete some app, pictures or music - all of that was in my SD card- to allow the app to run" 2- The internet "navigator" has not navigation arrows &lt;-- --&gt; you can not get back as you do in your pc (they forgot to include navigational arrows, stupid!!) 3- And the price, the price vs the release date is not that convenient, ther are many new phones and better than this one at cheaper price, even some places like Costco sells unlocked phones already for a fraction of the price. 4- Windows phones? if you love the eternal orb/round thing/circle going around and around this phone will not dissapoint you in any way, with a very basic interface and crappy options in most of all the apps and functions, guaranteed you will love it!.... NOT! (a very quick e.g. [altough the list of cons is quite long vs the cons] , the options for color and appearance as such doesn't exist, pure crap) If besides this you are still want this "phone", just don't forget that "I told you!"

Hello PotterThis phone is a very mid-level phone, it is inferior to a GS2 in performance and display. All other functions are comparable; wifi bluetooth etc.The main benefit of this gtb5330l is its price and its physical keyboard. The keys are really, really small though.Also i can confirm that you can update it manually via odin to Jelly bean. This enables a tone more features.Please ask anything else you may want. thanks

Thank you R.R. That was my conclusion a couple of months ago when considering the S350 or the 1500 but then I read quite a few reviews that said they were having no issues with the 1500 and customer service was great. I've decided on the Panny for the reasons you detailed and that the Samsung needs to be added to and upgraded to be comparable to the Panny so why bother for a few dollars savings. I've ordered the 35K and look forward to enjoying it.....Thanks again!!

I urge you to not buy this phone. Samsung has the best in the market right now. If you are looking for something more affordable, may I recomend the Nokia Nexus or Lumina. HTC has a bad history of inferior merchandise and they tend to not back their products when they malfunction. If you are still thinking of buying this phone and to answer your question, I am not sure what you are asking. Are you asking if the phone is unlocked or locked with AT&T;? You would have to call them and ask. Each network supplier carries/supports different phones and models for each of their networks.

I canceled my order from amazon a week ago and placed it with mobilecityonline and after a little glitch where my shipping address wasnt on file with my credit card company. but i got the phone, its awesome a bit bigger than i thought it would be but so far does pretty much everything i expected it to be. the edge on it appears to be faster than that of the w810, whats great is i can actually do video conferencing (ichat one way) using my phone as a dial up modem. and its actually clear, not choppy. so its pretty good. also i bought a 1gb micro card from sony's web store, it was the cheapest i could find em. it was only 59$over all a great phone I canceled my order from amazon a week ago and placed it with mobilecityonline and after a little glitch where my shipping address wasnt on file with my credit card company. but i got the phone, its awesome a bit bigger than i thought it would be but so far does pretty much everything i expected it to be. the edge on it appears to be faster than that of the w810, whats great is i can actually do video conferencing (ichat one way) using my phone as a dial up modem. and its actually clear, not choppy. so its pretty good. also i bought a 1gb micro card from sony's web... » Read More I canceled my order from amazon a week ago and placed it with mobilecityonline and after a little glitch where my shipping address wasnt on file with my credit card company. but i got the phone, its awesome a bit bigger than i thought it would be but so far does pretty much everything i expected it to be. the edge on it appears to be faster than that of the w810, whats great is i can actually do video conferencing (ichat one way) using my phone as a dial up modem. and its actually clear, not choppy. so its pretty good. also i bought a 1gb micro card from sony's web store, it was the cheapest i could find em. it was only 59$over all a great phone « Show Less

Yes! I have had this model little over a month and it rivals my husband's Samsung Galaxy that cost him more than twice as much.

I am not quite following you. In any case this phone is quite too old and not the best option as a smart phone. Try better a Samsung Huawei or LG. You will find some that are cheap and at the same time quite reliable.

The more post i read about the confusion over model numbers and processors speeds and noone on the sellars side is make any real effort to clear the air.. Keep looking people there are hundreds of phones that say what it is that your buying and no confusion!

The screen and graphics quality are excellent - equal to or better than Samsung smartphones. I cannot make a comparison to other similar products because I have not seen/used other brands. The current version of the Android operating system is 3.1

I think this phone is better. I like the HTC Sense OS much better than Touchwiz and the all aluminum build quality is much better (and better looking) than the S3 Mini. I'd take this over the S3 without question.

It is a nice phone. The keyboard is really comfortable and useful, the multitasking is wonderful. Im still using it as my daily phone. You just have to think about the apps and services you'll need. Basic functions such as mail, social networks and messaging are covered, just dont expect to have the latest stuff. Go to webosnation.com and check the app gallery.

little bit better processor little bit better screen. Samsung gradually goes up as it builds phones..best results can be found on phonearena.com. you can put the two phones side by side and see what I'm talking about above. In this case, the 5 is going to win in terms of speed and screen quality. battery life is also going to be a huge factor.

all the phone are the same externally. just carrier branding unless other wised informed.Samsung or any other phone dev.not going make a phone for 20 carriers and just you alone we make it different without you paying out the bum,wich carrys over too users.

I cannot compare with the LG as I never used the LG, but I did like the Samsung T404G for most things. As a phone it's perfectly fine. They slide out keyboard tends to be stiff and not respond to every press, though, so it's not great for texting, but it's not terrible either. Camera on the Samsung is so-so for a phone of its class.

Amazon forces sellers to join with other similar models. The page you are looking at is not mine but the one Amazon forces me to join and his/her is a clone and he/she admits it below in the question area, and I reported it to Amazon that it was a clone, but it's still here. Mine are 16gb N9002 and are genuine Samsung brands. Sorry for how I have to sell my phones I don't like it. You can do like I will be doing when the first one arrives. I'll download the Au Tu Tu Benchmark app and run that program. It will run tests on the CPU and such and report it's findings. If it's not a Samsung it will tell you whose it is. Plus not only do I offer a 30-day NO HASSLE return policy Amazon also will protect you against clones. So you can purchase with confidence or you can e go the Bay (if you catch my drift) and look for seller: hlkdestiny8804 where my ad is much clearer and the price is the same (but free shipping). I will get it first and if it's not genuine Ill be sending it back and fully refunding your purchase. I've had clones before and nothing but headaches and won't have anything to do with them as I'd rather be a happy seller than stressed with buyers complaining about those cheap phones. If you read my ad these are special ordered phones. I just can't keep up with the huge volume of sales and it's a unique model so I had to go special order only which takes 2-3 weeks from overseas 2 me 2 you. I will be placing a order tomorrow Saturday 1/25/14 around 3pm so if you make your purchase by then I'll add your purchase to this weeks order. My next order will be next Friday 1/31/14 after 3pm for those that purchase by that time, and so on. Thank you for your interests and it WILL be a genuine Samsung or you get a full refund. Rick
