I ordered this cellphone because i read that it was a very good smartphone and it is, i was very happy with it  but after 4 days of use, the cellphone turned off for no reason and it didn't turn on even if i connected it to the charger. 3 days later, it turned on and i was very happy to use it again but it keeps turning off by itself sometimes or freezing and i don't like that. I just have 2 weeks with the cellphone and it keeps doing that,also when i connect it to my smart tv it freeze as well.

The phone is great; easy to use and configure.  Love the replaceable battery and micro SD storage. Sound quality and clarity are very good.  Internet cellular access has been very fast.  Typically about 4,000 kpbs down and up.

Bluetooth works easily and well.  Nokia Maps are great and I've been able to load the apps I used a lot on former iPhone and Android devices.  Waze runs great for example.  I like this phone better than the iPhones and Androids I've had.

Since I couldn't get a smartphone because they're too expensive I decided to do some research on the best basic phone out there. This would be the third and best phone I've ever had. The basic phones Verizon carries aren't that great anymore because they expect everyone to have a smartphone by now and the basic phones are slowly disappearing. After a little research it came down to this phone and the lg enV touch. I really like lg because they have good quality products. This phone is very nice looking and the best basic phone out there. The only issue is sometimes the touchscreen is not very sensitive but i haven't had a problem with that. Other then that its the best phone I've had so far (I also recommend getting screen protectors!!).

The phone is great, but I got to put this one where I wanted it, where I spend considerable time and so where I can answer it.
The phone looks and works exactly like the others that we bought as a set maybe two years ago.
The features are amazing and often, for me superfluous, like routing cell phones via blue tooth through them.  I just like it because it works well, does not cause interference with other devices and is not affected by other radio-based devices.  Its just like a phone ought to be - reliable.  Oh, and I bought the refurb which looks new to me.

I can not recall any recent experience that came even close to the one I recently had. Having bought two Nokia E51 cell phones, one had a problem (a key fell off) after 4 days from the purchase date and Amazon response to my inquiry was very professional and flawless. Nokia, which I contacted first wanted me to ship them the phone, take a look at it, and decide whether they will repair it under warranty or not!!??
Amazon shipped me a new one, provided a return label for the problematic phone and that was it. Loved it!!!!
The phone is great, has everything I missed having after switching to a different brand a couple of years ago. Then there is the S60 operating system and wifi capabilities, plus a lot of available software out there.

The phone is very good.  It has great graphics and sound. It is really fast.
I use it on the Tracfone system and it works well.  I've always had good luck with Tracfone service and this phone gives me alot of options.  I have 16GB of ex memory and it seems to be more than enough for my music and photos.  I had to buy a SIM card from Tracfone for a $1.  I had a hard time configuring the SIM but Verykool has good phone support and they helped me more than Tracfone.  But it was worth it.  The phone is "verykool".

Hey,

I bought this cellphone to replace my old Omnia 2 (WinMo 6.5).

There are a few pros that really make me happy on this cellphone:
- HTC Sense:
HTC interface rocks. I'm really impressed with the people app and all integration it does with your app. It amazed even some friends that has others brands such as Galaxy S2

- dual core:
It is not fast as a S2 but it won't let you down.

- build
Looks good. Well constructed, HTC spent some money in good materials here.

- Screen
It is bright, colors seems to have the right colors (Galaxy colors looks green to me) and it is readable at sunlight (you can make a call, but it is not comfortable to read a message)

What is not so good:
- Weight
It is heavy: 170 grams is heavy compared to the 111 from galaxy s2 and also heavy compared to my old phone

- Battery
This really limits your cellphone. In fact this is not something related only to HTC EVO, but is something that impacts ALL smartphones. If you want it full power, it'll not last 6 hours.

I definitely was going to rate this phone as 3 stars, but after talk with some friends I notice this is a common issue among smartphone users, so I spent some time testing configurations on my device to save some battery. right now. It can make 2-3 days "saving" battery or 1 day of hard usage.

So, here is the thing.

Sync: I did several tests... data transfers over 3G drains your battery.
Take some time and configure it right. Do you really need to have your mail box being checked each 15 minutes? I really advice you to reduce or disable most of syncs.

wifi:
Check if there is wifi available, turn your Wifi on. It consumes less battery.

GPS:
"GPS satellites" drains your battery a lot.
disable "GPS satellites" unless you are going to use your HTC as a GPS navigator. Use wireless networks instead. It is enough for most of your applications and will not eat your battery.

If possible think about change you network settings from WCDMA and GSM to only GSM specially if you know you'll not be using data transfers.

I did lots and lots of research on a number of phones, including this one, on the best one to buy. I had a list of things I wanted in a phone and I have to say, this phone not only had everything I've ever needed, but I was surprised on things I didn't know about! For instance, I didn't even know it had an accelerometer when I bought it! But for now I'll just list the major features and review them:

CAMERA(s): The main 5MP camera takes great pictures. Obviously it's not the same quality as a stand alone, say Sony Cybershot of equal quality. But the different scene shots and bright flash make up for that. (portrait, night shots, fast-moving, etc) Video is as good if not better than a Sony Cybershot point and shoot camera. (You can even edit pictures right on your phone!)

CALL QUALITY/SPEAKERPHONE: Call quality has been very good. Speakerphone is VERY loud thanks to the pair of high quality speakers.

GPS: The assisted GPS antenna on the device is pretty good. When using Nokia Maps to navigate, it takes very little time to connect (5-10 secs mostly) You have to keep the slider open however to get good signal. If you don't like nokia maps, you can always buy/download other software like Google maps, TomTom, etc. Very handy.

BLUETOOTH: Basically like any other bluetooth. It can connect to headsets, other devices, computers, and it also is compatible with A2DP

EMAIL: It its own email client that you can set whatever address to or you could use the free Gmail app if you have gmail. (thats what I do)

MUSIC PLAYER: 8GB memory. To today's standards, thats not a very big size for a primary music player. However, when you transfer music to the device from Nokia's PC Suite, it asks you if you want to convert the songs to a smaller format (~5 times smaller) which is very helpful in storing more songs. Other than that, its a great player with many features. (Playlists, shuffle, album art, EQ, etc) Great speakers too.

WiFi/3G: WiFi connects very quickly and smoothly. 3G signal is great too. Every now and then it will cut out but will automatically continue. Even reaches 3.5G speeds (HSDPA) on AT&T's network.

CALENDAR: Nicely laid out with many viewing options. Can add new memo's, tasks, meetings, and anniversaries. Can also sync with computer. (Assuming outlook, but don't use)

ACCELEROMETER: VERY cool to have. Enables the phone to auto-rotate when phone is flipped sideways. Also automatically straightens pictures that were taken sideways. And MANY more applications that you can download that use the accelerometer like games or cool apps like Step Counter.

COMPUTER SOFTWARE: Didn't realize this was a big thing until I tried to sync a Blackberry to a computer one time. Not very user friendly. But Nokia's PC Suit is the most simple, yet powerful sync program I've ever seen. Can easily use phone to connect your computer to the internet with the touch of a button. Or you can read, sort, and reply to your text messages on your computer. Very, very nicely designed.

BATTERY LIFE: As the N95 was my first smartphone I've ever had, I didn't realize this was as big of an issue. But sadly on the N95, the battery life is terribly underrated for the many features this phone has. I charge it every night and even when doing minimal things on the phone, it will usually die around 6pm. Nokia knows this, which is why they offer different types of portable battery packs and ways to charge your phone. Gets very irritating at times but just make sure you carry an extra battery or 7 around with you. :)

So overall, this phone has been everything you really need in a phone. I get comments all the time on the lack of a touchscreen and full keypad. Truth is, you really don't need either. The predictive text function does the job good enough and touch screens don't do much for me. This phone is focused around applications. There are hundreds and hundreds of applications (usually free) you can download that do anything from make your phone into a portable lightsaber to turning your phone into it's own WiFi Hotspot. The options are limitless with apps.

I purchased this phone about a year ago and was impressed immediately by it. Of course, this phone makes it a great first timer on smartphones. Everything you read on the good reviews is the honest truth. Occasionally it may glitch up, but there is certain apps that you get to fix that problem. Do the research for it! The only bad part for this phone (the reason why i put 4 instead 5 stars) is that i dropped it out of my lap getting out from a truck and it hit the ground with the case on and the screen to this day is black with lines running through it. I was so lost when that happened, but i am thinking about purchasing another one of these phones because even though it did not work after that drop, i did drop it quite a few times and it still worked. Anyways, people this is the phone to buy. I've looked at several other phones, but the reviews and the phone itself just doesnt match up to this one it seems like.

I needed an unlocked phone and cheap. The Moto G (2nd Gen.) Was the phone for me. Now I've used some of the most powerful smart phones on the market. (The Galaxy Line of Notes and S' and all that jazz, the LG G 2 & 3, iPhone 4-6+) and this phone is exceptional for being considered a "midrange, budget smartphone" its smooth, speedy, and sounds great.

I bought it from a seller named JP mobiles, and I got it used for $140 and it was in "very good condition" but they were wrong. It is in "LIKE NEW condition".

All that to say, very satisfied with my purchase and very satisfied with Motorola's latest budget phone.

Phone is really good, I mean it's too good for me. I had to drop it in a pile of dog crap to bring it down to the level of my lifestyle.

It`s so useful!! The camera it's great!! Texts and calls works very well!! I din't use an extra memory yet but with only 8gb internal memory it`s support a lot of information (pics, video, voice note, apps...). The size is ok, not too small, not too big. It has some interesting skills as the written notes, you can write anything in your phone and save it anytime you need it. If you're a writter or productor that skill keep very well those ideas you get in the subway, for example! It has differents way to save battery. I charge it once at day only. For me it's a terrific phone! <3

I just received the Galaxy Note 8.0 N5100 yesterday, and so far I can't say anything but good things about it.
As other reviewers have pointed out, this is the international version with 3G. In other words, this is a cell phone, a very large one, yes, but a cell phone nonetheless.
My understanding is that the AT&T network (and others like Red Pocket that use the same network) is the appropriate one for this phone in the U.S. I had a T-mobile micro sim card at home so I decided to give that a try and activated prepaid service on the device. It works just fine, I have made and received calls, no problem. Data works on it as well, though I do not know at what speeds. I find myself mostly in places with WiFi so I normally do not worry too much about network data speeds, but again, my understanding from what I have read is that this device will work faster on the AT&T network because of the radio bands.
I am 6'1'' with average-sized hands for a person my size. I am able to hold the phone in one hand with no problem. In case you are wondering, yes, I have put the phone to my ear and used it as a regular phone. It works just like any cell phone because, well, it is a cell phone. This device is essentially a Galaxy Note phone but larger than the ones available here in the U.S.
As far as technical aspects, there are probably reviews out there by people much more knowledgeable than I am, so you should probably look at some of those reviews available online. I can tell you this is the best phone and also the best tablet I have ever owned. It is powerful, fast, and comes with all sorts of bells and whistles in terms of what you can do with the S pen. Also, I really like that the micro sim card and the micro sd card can be inserted without having to remove back covers or anything like that, which is something I have disliked in most cell phones in recent years. The slots for the micro sim card and the memory card are on the side and easy to open.
I consider this to be the best cell phone out there. While size and portability may be an issue for some (and since I have been using the biggest phones I could find in recent years I do get a lot of comments from people about what a hassle it must be to lug something this big around), given that I find most smart phone screens too small for doing anything productive and I find large tablets too uncomfortable to carry around, I think that the Note 8 3G is the perfect middle ground. I would consider anything between a 7 and 8 inch screen as being in the sweet spot for portability and usefulness. Having said that, I would not want to carry an 8 inch tablet around if on top of that I was also carrying a smart phone. So again, this is why I think of this as the perfect smart phone. The phone does fit in my back pockets, though I am sure that it might not feed in a lot of pockets. I suspect most people would actually have a difficult time finding pockets that are wide enough for it to fit, so if you are thinking about getting this phone you may want to think about alternative ways of carrying it. Otherwise, you could do what I did: before buying it, look up the exact specifications of the phone, cut out a piece of cardboard in the size and shape of the phone, and try to fit it in the pockets of the pants you wear frequently.

The cellphone is very good, elegant and useful, but there is only a thing that I didn't like, the box did not bring a free hands and I searched in internet and all the boxes includes this, but this special cellphone, no.

I'll start off with this review is with 4G off, it's too flaky in our area.

I bought this phone for my Mom, and this is her first smartphone.  She is one of the most tech-illiterate persons I know.  She never texted on her old phones (last was LG Lotus).  But a week later, here she is texting me.  Granted, I set everything up for her to go so I have a good feel for the phone.

One of the big questions right now is reception.  Call quality has been fine, no dropped calls for where she normally frequents.  Wifi signal shows a little weaker than my Pre, but it seems to work just fine.  Loads things faster than my Pre from the same spot =)  She has light data usage, but she gets her email fine and browsing through her picasa library.  It hasn't been too long, but the phone seems solid.  My brother has the same phone, and his data has been good as well.

The biggest downsides I have to this phone are it scratches pretty easily on the back (dunno about the glass) and it's slippery.  I highly recommend the Ringke cases.

Other notables: camera is OK, but my opinion on all smartphone cameras sans the nokia N8 and like is they all are not up to par.  The android button row is impossible to see even on a cloudy day.  If you memorize the order of the buttons, you're ok.  If you flip between different android phones a lot, you might have issues.  The screen itself is nice, haven't tested in full sun though.  But I haven't had any smartphone be easy to use outside in bright light.  Inside, the screen is absolutely beautiful.

Finally, having a clean, stock, Android system is certainly nice to work from.  You probably will want to spend a bit of time customizing everything, so if you do that anyway, this phone will probably be perfect.  Just be warned, customizing isn't always free to get exactly what you want.
