It Doesn't Get Much Better Than This I pre-ordered this device through AT&T; on February 5, 2012 and have been waiting for it to come out since it's release in Asia.***Screen***This is obviously the highlight of the device. You can't see any pixels to the naked eye and contrary to many of the reviews, none of the colors appear "burned in" or over-saturated. From my bed to my dresser, I have been able to prop up my phone and watch Netflix relatively easily.The brightest setting on it is tremendously bright, almost to an uncomfortable degree, but this makes outside viewing very easy. As with any Android device, I am not a fan of the "auto-brightness" battery saving feature since it can be erratic in situations where the light is constantly changing (such as in the shade of a tree on a breezy day... sounds romantic, right?). By contrast, the dimmest setting is incredibly low which is a big feature to me. Sometimes if I am checking my phone late at night, I hate being blinded by a phone set to it's dimmest setting and still being bright enough to see in a well-lit room.No complaints.***Handling/Feel***Holding the device with one hand isn't a problem for unlocking and scrolling between screens which is much of what I do throughout the day (checking for updates on my home screen widgets or for e-mails. I have "average" sized hands (about 7" long) and I can "just barely" manage opening apps and typing with one hand, but I don't feel comfortable enough to do this while standing or over a hard surface. Fortunately there is a significant number of "swype" styled apps to make "one finger" typing just as fast and easy.I've never used "split keyboards", but every review I see says it's a "must".The white Galaxy Note has the glossy, smooth backing on it but isn't so slick that it falls out of your hand. It's extremely attractive and is actually keeping me from slapping a cover on it... why would I want to cover up something that sexy. Making phone calls feels perfectly nature and doesn't seem awkward at all. This is one of a few unfounded criticisms I have seen about this device. If anything the larger profile of the phone actually makes it much EASIER to hold to your face.***Stylus***Cool gadget that is useless is 90% of what you do, but if you experiment with it there will be things you do, apps you operate, and games you play that you can't believe you every used without it. I actually like the stylus less as a writing device (which is how it's being marketed), and more as a "precision tool". A good example is a tower defense game. Having the larger screen allows me to play it in "zoomed out mode" the entire time and just use my stylus to select different items and perform functions that would otherwise be too small on such a high-resolution screen in the mode I'm using. That's a very specific example, but it let's you know what kind of utility the stylus has.A criticism I've seen of the stylus (even before the phone came out) is that it's moving technology bad to the days of the old Palm Pilots. This is a load of biased crap that I can only explain as individuals with agendas trying to make fun of something they haven't used. I would urge readers to think of the stylus less as a "out-dated Palm Pilot" device and more as a "Nintendo DS" device. If you don't like the stylus; don't use it. It's an amazing device without it. By stepping outside of the box and experimenting with the stylus you're liable to find something you like about it.***Battery Life***With average use, I unplug my device at around 7AM every morning and still have a charge on my device into 9PM and 10PM at night. That "average" day includes leaving Bluetooth off all day (I don't use it), and turning WiFi off when I'm not in range of my home network. I sync my e-mail and weather every 30 minutes and social networking every 15 minutes. If the battery life isn't good enough, Mugen Power manufacturers a battery with 80% more capacity than the standard Samsung provided battery.***Appearance***Everyone has the same reaction to the device. "Holy crap, that's a big phone......... wait, where can I get one?" The initial shock freaks everyone out, but I haven't had anyone look at it skeptically and when I've had it to my ear, I didn't notice anyone staring at me (I paid attention to this the first few days I owned it). In my humble opinion, people think the white one looks a lot more attractive than people who have seen the "carbon blue" (whatever.... it's black) model.CONCLUSION: Great phone. I am going to give this 5 stars, but not because I'm a 'fanboi' or just opened it 10 minutes ago and wanted to brag about my new toy. This really is a very well thought-out device. I could write 5 pages about this device, but if you want that then just look at any other combination of reviews already online. I would suggest the reviews on Android-specific sites to eliminate any biases from those who may not be use to the Android OS or have "alternate motives". The main features of the device (screen, stylus, et al) are just as useful as they are impressive. There are many secondary features that are equally as useful (some tweaks to the TouchWiz interface, S Memo, et al). The battery life is just as good as in my previous devices, but I could see some wanting the extra battery life so they could take advantage of the tablet-esqe experience more completely.I'd recommend this to people who haven't quite "bought into the utility of a tablet", but would like the convenience of something easier to use for extended periods of time than their smartphone. The difference between a 4.6" screen and the 5.3" is noticeable, again, when you are using the device for long periods of time.

cool carry around battery I bought this because I have a ipod that I use in my car. The biggest problem is my ipod dies and I dont have a cig plug for it. I thought buying a cig plug for my ipod would be useless because it drains my car battery and second it will only work with one device, my ipod. So I decided I needed a cheap battery source I can bring with me to charge many devices. Thats pretty much what I got with this device. I charge it at home and carry it along and can charge my ipod, GPS, phone if I had the correct cords. The other thing I like is the flashlight on the device, I found it to be useful although not that bright.Pros-flashlight with bendy cord, universal USB plug, solar powered for emergencys, light weight and sleek.Cons-takes awhile to charge devices, you must bring cords with you so you still need your cords.

Knock Off Incase Product? This would be my second "INCASE Black iPhone 4 Cover".The first one I received was through the apple case program. That product was sent from Irwindale, CA, which is where the Incase company is located (I assume that Incase sent me the case/cover). It had a nice, snug fit...overall it was a decent product. The name of the product is "Incase Snap Case: Black Frost" (according to the incase package). The Incase website states there are only 3 colors available for the snap case series (currently?): White, Black & Clear ([...]).The second one is from the seller, Summer4sales and its product name is "Incase Snap Case: Smoke Black". I just received the product and right off the bat it's quite a bit different than the one I received from Incase:The case color is different (more of a bluish color VS a grayish black color)The fit isn't as tight in certain areas and too tight in others (I had to force the some corners to get into the case)The seams are uneven (the right side of the phone sits higher than the left side)The stand it comes with is slightly different than the first one I received (length & the angle of the stand)Note: After further inspection, the leaf logo on the stand from Summer4Sales is different than the one received from Incase (the Summer4Sales leaf is more of a strait, less curvy leaf compared to the longer more bowed leaf that Incase produces)The texture is a little different as well (feels more like plastic case VS a synthetic rubber/plastic case)The paper insert in the package is a glossy print vs. a matte (Also, the images inside are more washed out VS a high quality print)The box it's self is a slightly darker than the original incase box (that includes the plastic sleeve and the paper box the case is housed in)The font sizes on the back are different (also, some of the images are different)Also, looking at the back of my incase product (shipped from Summer4Sales), it states the package contains a "CLEAR" phone cover, when the actual case I received is a black case (they put a "black case" in a "clear case" box?). A friend ordered a black case from Summer4Sales and he received a clear one instead (it also didn't come with a stand). I don't know if this makes a difference, but the box the case came in had a strange plastic wrap on it, was really beat up (scuffed up and tabs broken inside the box and out) and the case it's self had a plastic sticker over the backing (something I haven't seen on the other cases). I have 2 old case boxes and a new one for comparison, all 3 boxes were printed in "2010".I'm going to have to agree with the review "MB" posted, I'm pretty sure they either have horrible quality control, these are old cases or another factory is producing the same product with slightly different specifications.Either way, if you're a quality nut I'd be careful with this product. It's a bit sloppy. They get the job done, but they are nothing like the cases you get from the apple store.

Dont bother with this. its junk Its just a regular cheap charger. The LED doesn't turn off when the phone isn't plugged in and it makes an annoying clicking sound so you have to pull it from the socket anyway. All chargers use zero energy when not plugged into the wall, omg! Don't try and save the earth with this junk. Good concept, poor execution. I didn't even recycle mine, I threw it in the garbage.

Crappy a** phone This phone is a complete piece of carp. It does not work on AT&T network. It is slow and cheap feeling. It did not come with a users manual. The headphones were red and broken. Very disappointed. I will be requesting a refund. False advertisement .....period.

Perfect! I am very satisfied with this phone cover. It fits my phone perfectly and is clearly well-made; the colors are quite vivid, as well.I already dropped my phone a couple of times, and this case has held up excellently! I feel like my fragile phone is finally safe inside this case. :)

Just ok... I'm a contacts wearer, and if I game for anymore than 30 mins, I feel my them drying up, and my eyes becoming really sore. So I thought, what the heck, give these a try.Gunnar Optiks is definitely onto something good here. They work really well. Reduced eye strain, contacts no longer felt dry after some gaming, and comes with a great storage case.So they work, but I'm just not a fan of their build quality. The frame just feels like the cheapest thing ever. Yea, they're extremely light, but I feel like I have to be extra careful when taking them out of or putting them back in the case. It bends way too easily, to the point where one of the lenses popped out when I was adjusting the nose piece. It's an easy fix to pop them back in, but that's more what you'd expect from $10 gas station sunglasses, not $80 gaming glasses.

screen protector for Samsung Galaxy Active Screen protector made screen look dull, also it does not 'stick' to the screen you can feel there is a separation between the actual screen and screen protector so when you text it duplicates keystrokes, also followed directions. The edges are the only things that seal to the screen

Love it! It's so easy to set up and use. I could not ask for a better product. I would recommend it to anyone.

Constant Issues I've had this phone for about a month and it's been a total pain the entire time. It force closes my apps all the time (I know it isn't the apps themselves because I've tested them on other Android phones and had no issues), freezes up a LOT, the charging slot cover never seems to fit properly, and the 4g on it is a horrible battery drain! I wish I'd saved my upgrade for something better. The only positive for me is the keyboard. Looks like I'll be trying to sell this on craigslist so I can get something that actually works properly!

This is a good buy I want to leave this review because I am very pleased with my new Koomus Dashboard Windshield iPhone Car Mount Holder. I use it for my iPhone 4S and it works great. Ever since I received it and attached it to the windshield, it's been in the very same spot I first placed it. I love it because it's rotatable, it's easy to mount, and it stays in place.

For the love of fluffy bunnies, don't get this phone! I have had an LG Optimus S for just under a year now, from Sprint. Do you enjoy a phone that randomly shuts itself off? Do you enjoy a phone that has trouble reading your SD card and acts like there isn't one in there? Do you enjoy having to take your phone in to be manually reset (or looking up how to do it yourself) because a software issue is causing it to hang? How about having to take the battery OUT and put it back in just to get it to turn on?NOW, my phone won't turn on at all.Again.Seriously? Run FAR away from this phone.

Really disappointed with this purchase I wanted something to use with both mobile and desk phones while in office. Soft/PC phone is not a requirement for me, but it is good that includes that too. I used it for about 10 days. First, answering or making calls from a desk phone is really cumbersome. You need to spend lot more dollars and buy a headset lifter to get it working better (not tried). I think it should be a built-in feature for a headset at this price range.The real killer for me is the call quality. Either myself or the party on the other end always hear echo. There is static on the calls quite frequently. I tried every channel on this device but it didn't help. I noticed it more when the battery is about 50% or lower. The battery life is also poor; I never got more than 3 hrs of talk time. I used mobile headsets from Plantronics and was happy with them. It looks good on the desk as an accessory, but is a huge let down on performance. I rarely return an item, but I am forced to do it in this case.

Holds the phone but not to the dash/window So I've been looking for a mount that would hold my phone but not one that had a magnet in it or one that was going to block the power cord so I could keep my phone charged while I was using it for a GPS. Not an easy task considering most phone mounts hold the phone right where I need to charge it (me having an HTC Rezound). I found this one with no reviews. It said it fit HTC phones and from the picture I could clearly see that it wasnt going to block the power cord. So I ordered it and here's my official review:When I opened up the package, it came in a small box that was pretty beat up. the package wasn't a box, but just a bag, so be prepared for your item to look a little dented and bruised.I knew the mount was a suction mount and I knew that it wouldn't hold to anything because, lets face it, no suction mounts for ANYTHING ever work. So for now I put some 3M sticky strips to hold it on to my dash. If that fails, super/gorilla glue. Then it definitely won't go anywhere, but we'll see how well the strips work.The way it holds the phone is kinda spring loaded. one of the "arms" moves outward you put your phone in the dock, and that same arm goes back into place as if to grip it. The insides of the arms are padded, and it has a very firm grip on my phone. I also like how it can rotate my phone from portrait to landscape because I usually use my GPS in landscape orientation. Before the mount I would hold the phone with my hand while at the same time hold the steering wheel. It was a little tricky, but I managed. I'm glad to have a mount that will do that for me now.Overall I give it 3 stars because it did half of what it was supposed to do. It held my phone securely, but it didn't hold to the window or dash, even with the disc it came with to have it suction onto. Suction just doesn't work. At least in all the situations I've been in. So if you do buy this, be prepared do glue the mount onto your dash so it doesn't fall off the window or dash while you're driving.

great product the best phone i met so far

Simply Superb My Wife used to own the LG Vu phone by signing up for the 2 year contract with one of the wireless services .. and she lost it recently.From that day I have searched a lot for buying one for her and finally ended up buying this product ... as though there are not much reviews to really base on, I liked it very much in the first look.I gave her a surprise by the time she is up from her bed with a working sim card in it... she looked it for a minute and finally said 'WOW'. And thats all I wanted when I am searching for the phone.Not just that .. it has lot of cool features and as usual the NOKIA's best battery life ... color combinations.. sound clarity while speaking and while listening to songs or videos.Finally it worked out to be one of the cool gifts that I presented my wife!Cheers- Vik

First time NFC user - A happy one So NFC being the new wonder kid on the block (new to me anyway) I had to take a bite. For most of the stuff that these tags can do, I use Llama which is a lighweight less capable version of tasker. Both are android automation apps and if you have no clue about either or android for that matter then I would politely suggest you to forget about NFC tags :D ...A little background first then: Llama allows me to turn on-off stuff like BT/wifi and lots of other such services, but it works off of Cell towers (much more battery conserving than using GPS location) so it first recognizes that these 10-20 cell towers are under "Home" or "Office" area (you teach it to do that, very simple) and then executes actions based on "enter" or "leave" area conditions. My only need not fulfilled by Llama was to turn on/off bluetooth after entering/exiting my car. As I don't typically use a car dock which can act as a trigger for "car" specific actions.Enter NFC tags, since you can stick one anywhere you have a need for using to a boat-load of available actions for these tags, e.g., Turn BT on, Turn wifi off, send an sms, call someone, I thought it would be perfect for using my phone in the car. When i looked around i found that a lot of mfg'ers are selling cheap NFC tags, but since it was first time decided to go with Samsung TecTiles. Found that you can use "NFC Task Launcher" app w/o any issues with these tags (more functions than samsung's app). Put the tag sticker in my car, added a switch condition and programmed the tag and voila! its done. Works like a charm, awesome technology, cheap price what more can you ask for?I will try to program my home wifi pwd access connectivity into one of these tags and test it on my unsuspecting guests (gets you great bragging rights, hehe)...Please note: iPhone doesn't have NFC capability but you can get a slip-on case with NFC chip built into it, thats probably the beauty of ios ecosystem (although samsung builds it right into their batteries of the select smartphone models:D!!!)

Great sound, Not very durable Leo Laporte gave these a good review on the daily giz wiz so I bought a pair. They sound incredible for headphones under $30 and they have a mic which made my Ipod touch a skype phone. My big problem is after about a month the left ear quit working and now the right side cuts in and out unless you wiggle the cord around the jack. I wore these running and that may have been my mistake I think they are just not built to take any abuse. So if you use them to sit and listen they are a great deal. I suggest you use a different pair when you might be rough on your headphone jack.

Waste of Money The phone is not compatible with my unlimited Straight Talk plan, I can't get mms, I wasted my money. On top of that the hinges in the sim card slot #1 were bent. NOT HAPPY!!!!

Too tight for life-proof case We have a bunch of iDevices. Cable works fine. However, the head on the 8-pin (phone side) is too tight for the life-proof case.

Never received item This item never arrived from the seller. I waited a month and cancelled the order. Amazon was great at canceling the item and refunding my money.

Item photo is a little confusing. The lower rating for this product is not based on its fit or function. I was a little deceived by the item's photo, and lack of OTHER photos, on Amazon. To me, base on the picture, it looks like there is a front and back cover included with the product. There case only fits on the back, so basically it's just a giant slip-on cell phone case for a tablet. Since the price was so cheap, I didn't even bother returning it. But, ultimately I purchased a better "flip" style case on Amazon.

Excellent ear piece Best earpiece I ever had and it actually came in the mfgr. package. The one I bought on e-bay came in a plastic back with grass in it. Will never deal with that person again. I should have know to go to Amazon.com put purchase something like this.

Great case, terrible display protector This case is solid and I have no doubt it will protect the iPhone against most potential disasters.My only quibble is with the watermarking or oil slick between the protective plastic and the iPhone display - why this has not been addressed by the manufacturer yet is beyond me and saying "Oh just wipe your body oils across the display" is NOT addressing the problem - neither is puffing it with baby powder, the unofficial fix.At the very least, manufacturer needs to test and then include a stick-on screen protector because as it is, if you buy this case cover, you will possibly need to add another few bucks for the screen protection.What a shame - if the manufacturer would actually stand up and address this issue head on, this item would be a "must have" for any iPhone users on the go.Edited to add that I've managed to drop my iPhone at least three times since I wrote this review - sometimes on concrete. The shell has protected it perfectly and although I noticed some distortion of the case at the bottom, where the speaker outlet is, I can't complain because it was the cheap case that sustained the damage and not the iPhone inside. Still happy with this product, even if I still need to get around to fixing the watermark for about the fifth time.Edited to add that after five months, the belt clip disintegrated. I'm going to remove the protective cover as well and just chance it for now. Started out promisingly but all in all, not really worthwhile as the belt clip wasn't mistreated and came apart as I removed the phone innocuously.

Some issues, but works Some other reviewers have complained that their phone is incompatible with the long cord. Sure, about 20 minutes after connecting the phone SAYS it is incompatible, but it still charges. This seems like a minor issue to me. The bigger problem is that the short cord is sloppy in my USB, giving me problems. Nothing insurmountable, just annoying. Both cords work fine, are inexpensive, and require some small extra fidgeting. You want perfect? Shop Apple. You want cheap? Deal with quirks.

Skinomi Full Body Protector 5s So after doing quite a bit of extensive on the "best" full body protector that's out there, I decided to try Skinomi. I'm usually a ZAGG product purchaser, however I wasn't a fan of the "orange peel" look and feel of it. Never hearing of Skinomi, I did some research, read some reviews and they all seemed positive, so I gave it a shot. Right off the bat, shipping was extremely fast. I received it within 3 days of my order, perfect timing for the arrival of my new 5s. The price was phenomenal. I don't know if I caught it during a sale, but .99cents and a couple bucks for shipping was a deal I couldn't pass up, I purchased two incase I screwed up installation.Anyway to the review:The product came in a nice protected box, to prevent creases. The easy to follow instructions made installation a breeze. Having the online video tutorials will help many novice installers get through this process with ease. Installation took me maybe 15-20 minutes, mostly because I like to take my time and perfect everything. Skinomi is correct with seeing micro-bubbles under the screen, they do go away. Mine went 100% away within 48 hours.With the full body protector on, it looks and feels as if there's nothing there. Its great. I don't notice many finger print residue on the screen as well, which is a huge plus for me.Overall, I highly recommend and would definitely purchase another skinomi product for my future electronics, as I cant say anything negative about this product so far.

LOVE I love this little phone! After having an iPhone for a couple of years I didn't want to switch and have a huge phone but the mini is the perfect size. The operating system is really great too. All together a great phone and very user friendly.

Stopped working I was so excited to get it. Loved the cover and the pink color around the edges. Worked fine for the first week. I used it about 3 times. It will no longer charge. It stopped working. It was a waste of money.

This completely sucks The sound is horrible... people say I sound like I am in a muffled tunnel. And I bought two, to have in case the BT ran down.... poor me..... And my Plantronics 620 works like cr*p too. No noise cancellation worth a d*mn... forget about using it when driving a car.... I am trying to find a new one...

A useless piece of equipment. I put a new gas block on my varminter and thought this was the perfect sight at a budget price. Too bad that AFTER I drove it 50 miles home from the point of purchase I read on the instructions "Not for use on gas block". I would think they would have used a polymer that would take the heat.So, unless you are rich and can afford a full rail on a varminter with a 24" barrel, stay away from this piece of dust collector.Hey Magpul, why not be honest and put the warning on the outside of the box, instead of ripping off the customer?

Perfect solution I traded in my DLO leather case - soft and lovely - but totally impratical.I also stopped using an iFrogz treadz case because it covered the proximity sensor (translation - you hang up on people because the touch screen isn't disenagaged when you put the phone to your head). This Speck case however is designed to leave the sensor open.OK - the Speck -- I love it. It is tough. It's not pretty - but it's functional. The design lets you flip the phone in, so it has total screen protection.The belt clip can pivot, so you can have it on its side, up, or anywhere in between.Also, I have dropped this before, and the phone landed on its face on the sidewalk. The rubber case creates a raised frame around the screen, so there were no scratches-- it worked like a charm.The only downside is the large belt clip. It's versatile, but it pokes my belly. I blame myself because I am FAT. :) Thinner people won't even notice.

iphone case Too expensive for the item. I worked but I didn't' like it. cases are a personal thing, we all have different tastes.

Best Case Ever ! Okay So I Ordered This Case 2 Days Ago & I Just Now Got It !! & I'm Totally Fan Gurling Right Now !!! It Fits Perfect & It's Super Cute ! <3 It Fits Perfectly On My Galaxy s2 For Sprint ! *-*

X-( I CANT GET THIS CELLPHONE TURNED ON BY ANY MOBILE CARRIER!!!... IVE BUT TRYING TO GET MY MONEY BACK & RETURN THE UN-USED CELLPHONE,... BUT "PRICEANGELS",... KEEP GIVING THE RUN AROUND!!!... I WILL NOT OTHER ANYTHING ELSE FROM, "PRICEANGELS", EVER AGAIN!!!... X-(

Stopped working right after a couple of weeks. I have to change my previous review from 5 stars down to one. After using this product for about two weeks, it seems that when I charge my phone it shows No Service and stops working until I stop charging with the battery. This is not a good thing since I depend on my phone in my business. I hate to say it, but it will be my second Maxboost device that has had to be returned. I will either go back to a Mophie or just recharge with my cable when needed. This was really a letdown. This was one time that the addage You get what you paid for seems to be very true. :(Once I posted this review, I received an e-mail from Maxboost and they requested I try a second Defender product, which I did. Same thing happened. And in email discussion with the company, it seems like they are having issues with some of their cases. I have had to return the second case as well as the first. Sorry Maxboost, you need to fix your issues before sending these out to customers.

Music Cuts Out Intermittently The audio quality was acceptable and pairing was easy. But the audio cuts out intermittently. Plantronics tech support suggested I remove the battery from the Sony Ericsson w580i with which the device was paired to eliminate the possibility of a static bubble around the phone's battery. That didn't fix the problem. I've paired my phone with other bluetooth stereo devices without this problem, so I'm pretty sure it's a problem with the Plantronic headphones, not my phone.Two possibilities occur to me: (1) the sampling rate on my music might be more than the headset can handle, or (2) the unit might have a weak front end and, thus, be unacceptably susceptible to RF interference from other electronic devices. To their credit, Plantronics offered to replace the headset, but I suspect this isn't a device manufacture issue, so much as a design flaw.

Doesn't Charge the Cell Phone to 100% I charged the power pack battery using my computer. Once the power pack turns completely blue it is ready to be used. I then plug it into my Samsung Galaxy 3 cell phone. At this point it only charges my cell phone up to 85% and then the power pack batteryturns red (meaning that it needs to be recharged). The Power Pack battery should last longer than one charge; in fact, it should last for a couple of days. This product is very disappointing.

Don't Buy this!!!! The headset is unreliable because it doesn't recharge with the magnetic charger that is provided. Call plantronics - their support team is very nice and promises to ship you a replacement - which never shows up. Oh - and you need something to use before the replacement, so you buy ANOTHER Voyager Legend, which also fails. WARNING - don't waste your money.....

GARBAGE! SLOW, SLOW, SLOWWWW!!! DON'T BUY!! Let me start by saying that I've been through countless cords for charging thanks to my puppy. I've purchased some from Amazon, some from Groupon (similar to these but thicker and normal speed), and some from other vendors.I have a Galaxy S3. This phone requires a higher ampage to charge the battery. When I searched amazon for that specific ampage cord for charging, these came up. I thought, "What a deal!!"Well... It just goes to show you that, in life, you most definitely get what you pay for....Not only do they charge slower than molasses like others have claimed, but half of the cords don't even make a good enough connection out of the bag to charge my phone for more than 30 seconds.DO NOT BUY THESE! They are not worth $20. Get yourself a few of the amazon chords for $5 or $6 and be happy knowing your phone will charge correctly when you need it to..Also, I can vouch for the other review complaining about even slower charging in the car. A vehicle's outlet is limited to a 1 amp maximum output. This cord is lucky to get .01 of that charge. I made a 5 and 1/2 hour road trip straight in the car. Phone was at 67% to start the trip, was on battery saving mode with all background processes cleared, wifi and gps off, and made only one 5-minute phone call the entire trip. I ended the trip with 71% battery life.. my original AT&T; car charger did that in 5 MINUTES. Just a ridiculous product. And to make matters worse, I don't see the vendor contacting us to resolve this problem. What a shame.DON'T BUY, DON'T BUY, DON'T BUYYYY!

Cases came broken...no help from vendors Bought two of these cases from Amazon vendor Dave's Phone. When we opened the packages, both cases had a loose plastic item floating around, but could not find how it fit, so decided it was part of the packaging. Followed the LifeProof website instructions for installing our phones. We are new to iPhones and used them for about a week before we realized the button on the side of the case to control the ring/silent switch did not work. Removed the phones and realized the small black pieces make the ring silent switch operable while in the case. We used email to contact both the LifeProof company and Dave's Phone to see if the switch could be re-inserted or if the cases could be returned if the switch is truly broken. No response from anyone. Stuck with expensive cases that limit functionality.UPDATE: We heard from LifeProof and after providing them with the serial numbers in the cases, they confirmed that the cases we purchased through Dave's Phone are counterfeit. BEWARE of low cost cases for sale! If we can ever get our money back, we will be buying the cases directly from LifeProof.

Worked great....at first I have an iHome alarm clock and was looking for a dock extender so I didn't have to take the case off every night. At first this worked great, for about 2 weeks. Now it won't work at all and even my phone had some trouble connecting the first day or so after the adapter died. Back to the drawing board I guess. I really wish when iHome and other manufacturer's made docks, they took into account that the phones would have cases on them.

PERFECT BEST case! I was happy to find that it works well with my 4s unlike the otter box I tried previously. good corner protection, slides easily in-and-out of pockets, buttons are perfect, very good overall feel. Best case out there and great price.

Works as great as the price you pay for it. I like this product alot for the price it is worth. As most solar power enthusiasts know, the price of solar power technology is becoming slightly less expensive than it has been over the past few years. This device is a perfect example. It is certainly cheaper than other solar powered chargers for good reason. While it does in fact charge your USB device (at a slower rate than a larger solar panel would), it only charges your device in a certain type of sunny weather meaning it has to be emitting a certain amount of heat. Now, I don't know if this is true for all solar powered devices, but I have two other types of solar panel chargers made by goal zero (slightly more pricey) which charge usually in any type of sun light. I noticed that my devices charge in sunny weather from around the hours of 10 AM - 4 PM depending on how direct the light actually is facing the device. Other than that, I would have to say that it is a solid device. It does not seem to have any flaws. Good luck to all users out there!

HUGE MEMORY PROBLEM! 30% TO 60% MEMORY WASTED! I have been a loyal Palm OS supporter for more than six years, ever since my first Palmpilot Pro. I currently have a Treo 600 and I was looking forward to a higher resolution screen and better camera.Well, the screen is much nicer (in fact beautiful) and the camera works much better than the Treo 600, but there's a dirty little secret that PalmOne is trying hard to sweep under the rug. The new Treo 650 uses an unbelievably inefficient memory filesystem that expands Palm Database (.PDB) files from 30% to 600%!! My old Treo 600 had about 8MB of free space with all my applications and data, so I was using about 15MB of space, but when I tried to get all my data on the Treo 650, I found that I would need over 34MB of memory to store it all in the new filesystem. The worst effected files are the data files, which usually *cannot* be stored and used from an SD memory card, so PalmOne's "poo-poo, just use a memory card" is almost laughable.If you can use a memory card, by the way, they *are* giving away 128MB SD cards for free to try to mollify their customers, but many applications cannot run from an SD card, and very few can access data stored on a memory card.If you're using more than about 8-12MB on your current palm or most of your usage is PDB files, then DON'T BUY THE TREO 650 without taking this into account, or you'll be sending yours back (at your expense) just like me.For reference, my contacts database went from 150KB to over 850KB and another database I use went from 400KB to 3.5MB!!!!On the other hand, if you don't need to store much data or use applications that can directly work with the SD card, then the Treo 650 is pretty sweet, although very pricey.

Just as in the picture Extremely good quality gel cases very classy and full of color. My wife loces her new cases and swaps them everyday.

Much better than the Triumph This phone is better than any other VM phone, save the EVO. Even with custom roms, this stock is still much better.

GOOD, but could easily be GREAT Was looking for a case for my HTC Rezound and considered the cheapy silicone cases, Otterbox Defender, and commuter.Here is a rundown of how I came to try this and how it has performed over the month that I have had it. -The Otterbox Defender (Which my wife uses) is the Best for Protection but adds a lot of bulk, and the plastic screen sits above the actual screen on the phone- Don't like the feel of that. In addition the 2 mic holes on the back of the phone were covered. Don't know why Otterbox didn't provide holes for these as they did with the others ? The biggest deal breaker was - LINK GETS UNDER THE SCREEN ! - you are constantly opening to clean. Otter shell also collects lint like crazy - So that was out.The Otterbox commuter is more slim, and does not come with a plastic screen. You would use a screen protector. (I am using a Zagg Invisi-shield and am very happy with it)I was all set to go with the Commuter until I saw the Incipio Silicrylic HT-223.Looked exactally like what I wanted, was a few dollars less than the Otterbox Commuter, and seeing how many things I didn't like about my wife's Defender, I gave Incipio Silicrylic HT-223 a try.Here Goes:Easy install - just 2 parts (a soft silicone inner shell and a hard ruberized plastic outter shell that clips ont top.1st- put silicone on phone - line up holes (Fit is very loose), then snap outter shell on top (This locks it all together)It came with a screen protector, but I had my Zagg protector on already. The Zagg is probably better anyway - so I left it.Thats all - EASY AS PIENow after a month of solid real world, everyday use - an honest, accurate evaluation ......PROS:- Adds minimal bulk- Does not collect too much lint (Some, but less than most I've seen)- Seems to be a good combination of grip and slip (Will go into a pocket pretty well)- Silicone wraps around to front edges - (so if laid screen down - the silicone contacts the surface not the screen)- Has cut-outs for ALL holes and ports - and they line up Perfectly- Easy to take off and put back (When you need battery, Micro SD card access)- Headphone, charging jacks are unobstructedCONS:- The Inner Shell(Silicone), is definitely too loose fitting...The Hard Shell holds everything in place - so the phone does not slide around, but the sides, top and bottom (More so the sides) of the silicone edge that wrap to the front are not rigid enough and easily pull away from phone edges. This could allow dirt an lint to build up unereneath (That has not been an issue for me, but my phone it in pretty clean environments). I do find this to be annoying, and is the Only reason it does not get 5 stars.If Incipio would have made the inner shell tighter and the wrap around parts more dense, and/or add side tabs to the hard shell, not just corners; that would probably fix this issue.Incipio - FIX THIS !! and you will have a perfect case.Sorry for the long winded review - Hope it helps

Didn't last long! The case worked fine for about a week but now it won't charge the phone looks like the switch is no longer working - right now just another piece of junk in the drawer

Lasted 2 weeks... I really liked this case at first. I got suckered in by the great reviews. I'd be interested to know if people still like the case after using it for an extended period of time. As I said, at first the case was great. You can read other reviews to see how it fits/feels. However, after 2 weeks, the rubber has lost its elasticity. It doesn't hold the phone tight enough. Worst part is, the cutout for the ear speaker doesn't line up with the speaker hole anymore, so when I hold the case and talk on the phone, the speaker is muffled by the rubber from the case, since they no longer line up. Sad.

good pens one tip was off of one of the pens but it popped right on, So far no problems they work fine on our Galaxy 3the small ones are smaller than expected. It would be nice for the normal sized pens to all come with the little string and plug so you can attached it to the phone like the small ones but, overall pleased with purchase

Works Great As A Hub And Don't Need To Power It I know others are publishing reviews on how the charging/power functions work, but I haven't used that function yet. I got this to use as an expansion hub on a system that doesn't have any USB sockets on the front panel. It's nice to have the power/charge ability for the future but I haven't used that yet. The wall wart isn't even plugged in. I'm just using it as a hub for now and that works great so far. No compatibility issues. It just quietly gives me more USB ports where I want them.Running under Linux and it works fine.

soo nice have most thing i like soo nice u can buy`t pPl really nice .

It is yet to be determined I just purchase the battery for my long trip home from Peru. I have a Gearpower but it has not held up so I decided to go cheap and see if this one works any better. I will let you know after the 15 or so hours from Lima to Dallas. I should have a good ideal if I need to just forget it after this one.

Lot's of fingerprints Goes on OK but fingerprints stand out on the display face. Overall, I think the price is high for what you are getting

Great screen I got this screen to replace a shattered display on my sisters iPhone 4S. It arrived quickly and was packed nicely. It came with all the necessary tools, but no instructions (but that's what Youtube is for). The tools are ok, they will get the job done, you just have to be careful with all the tiny screws. Also I would recommend having a magnet around to magnetize the screw drivers, they will not hold screws unless you do so. The other thing to keep in mind is you have to use your old home button and wire mesh that covers your receiver, or order new ones...but this kit does not include them. I just reused my sisters old ones. Other than that, the screen works perfectly. I would definitely order this screen again.

Best phone available in the U.S. right now; love it for streaming music I waited a little too long to upgrade from my old iPhone 3G (not even a 3Gs). Having experienced just how slow a smartphone can get before becoming completely obsolescent, I wanted a phone with enough RAM and processing power, to remain fast for the next two years until I'm eligible for my next upgrade. I also wanted a bigger screen and 4G/LTE for better streaming music performance.After a LOT of research, I narrowed my choices to three phones: the HTC One X, Samsung Galaxy 3, and iPhone 5. Only one of those phones is available NOW in the U.S. (May 2012): The HTC One X. I'm glad I didn't wait. It is a beutiful phone with an incredible display and a great "feel" in the hand. It is also FAST--no matter what I throw at it, it doesn't slow down.If my old iPhone could have held on until this fall, I'd probably wait for the iPhone 5, but I didn't want to settle for a 4S with half the RAM of high-end Android phones like the One X, a 3.5" screen, and only 3G connectivity. Likewise, I considered waiting until the U.S. version of the Galaxy 3 was released, but I just couldn't wait any longer and wasn't convinced it would be a better phone for me than the One X in any case.I read a lot of reviews comparing the One X to the Samsung Galaxy 3. Bottom line: it is probably a draw for the most part, with most professional reviewers prefering the case design of the One X, but noting the onboard storage advantage of the G3 with its removable micro sd card.More onboard storage would be nice, but there is no need for tons of onboard storage if you embrace "the cloud." I use Google music to access my music library, but rely mainly on streaming music (Spotify, SiriusXM) with my unlimited AT&T; data plan and solid 4G LTE coverage where I live (D.C. metro area). The phone also comes with a Dropbox Pro account with 25 GB of cloud storage for two years.If you need a phone now, and don't want to settle for an iPhone 4S with only ~half a gig of RAM, 3.5" screen, and 3G, this is the best phone available in the U.S. It will probably be a draw between the One X and G3 if you can wait until mid- late-summer. If you can wait until the fall, it might be worth seeing what the last device designed by Steve Jobs--the iPhone 5--looks like.

EVO 3D vs EVO 4G: Flagship Faceoff Off the bat, the EVO 3D has been getting a lot of mixed reviews. People either love it or hate it, but many reviews floating around have tended to direct the focus of their positive or negative feedback towards one of two things: the 3D features, or everything else. I hope the dispel the mass hysteria of other reviews by giving you a realistic account of my ongoing experience with this undoubtedly groundbreaking new phone. I'll also be heavily comparing it side by side with its predecessor, the EVO 4G, which I've owned for a year now. And for those of you who will be replacing another Android phone, I'll include an overview of how to transfer apps and data from your other phone to the EVO 3D.Note: Be aware that I will also be mentioning the EVO 4G frequently throughout this review, so be sure to pay attention and not confuse the two.Let's quickly look at what's new. Here are my pros (+) and cons (-). More in-depth coverage follows:+ 3D glasses-free display - simply reciting the obvious here!+ Dual 5 megapixel rear cameras - photos and videos shot in 3D can also be viewed in 2D!+ Dedicated physical camera button - with two pressure levels, like a real camera+ qHD display - ultrafine, high quality graphics at 540x960 screen resolution+ Dual core Snapdragon processor - hasn't freezed up on me once!+ Numerous software improvements - details noted further below+ Super fast boot up/restart - purportedly hinders some Market apps, can be disabled via Settings > Power+ Larger 1730 mAh battery - yet seems physically smaller than EVO 4G's battery- Battery still doesn't tend to last a full day - 3D drains it at 1% per minute, display also a power leach- Camera takes too long to snap photos, especially 3D photos - a good 1-2 seconds!- Camera glass easy to smudge when holding the EVO 3D in your hand, can ruin some 3D shots- Camera's aluminum bezel easy to damage, doesn't fit evenly flush against the glass- No kickstand - keep your eyes peeled for a kickstand case accessory===== Look and Feel =====The EVO 3D looks strikingly similar to its predecessor, the EVO 4G. Since the original 4G phone has been so successful, I guess they figured why fix what isn't broken. Sadly though, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. HTC decided to trade up the kickstand, supposedly for a bigger battery although the EVO 3D battery is physically smaller than its EVO 4G counterpart. I'll miss the kickstand, though it was awkward to use at times, most notably on soft or unlevel surfaces. Otherwise, we've got the same capacitive touch buttons along the bottom (home, menu, back & search... the perfect order), the same 4.3" screen, with a slightly taller, equal width body, and the same soft touch back side, this time with a bit of added texture, which I don't really care for personally, but I digress. Naturally, with the dual cameras spread across half the back, holding the EVO 3D is a bit awkward. The glass covering those rear cameras is definitely not oleophobic, so it smudges easily, and I find myself constantly cleaning it up so my photos turn out clearly. Also, the bezel around those rear cameras was also easily susceptible to damage (had some dents fresh out of the box!) and also won't stay flush with the glass and can get caught on loose threads, or scrape the palm occasionally, an awkward sensation much like that of a razor blade shaving across your skin. Undoubtedly, you'll also notice an unsightly huge silver button gracing the right side of the EVO 3D. This new camera button is a stragely welcome addition, more on that in a sec, but you should be aware that it can also greet your palm with a harsh scrape every now and then, as well. Otherwise, the EVO 3D has a generally comfortable feel for its form factor.===== Camera =====Aside from the dual rear facing cameras, one of the most unmistakable new features of the EVO 3D has to be the huge silver button that at first seems to marr the landscape. Upon further use, however, I began to realize that this may have been one of the best new features. Perhaps you're like me... when I got my EVO 4G, it all but replaced my point and shoot camera. However, having to touch a specific, small circular area of the screen to capture the image proved unhelpful at times, provoking blurred shots or requiring me to contort my wrist and hand in an odd way when taking self portraits and such with the 8mp rear camera. Not any more!Also note: Engadget reviewer claimed the phone had to "spot" setting to control light metering like the EVO 4G has, whereby you can touch a subject on your screen, and the brightness automatically adjusts to that object. However, the reviewer failed to realize that there is indeed spot metering, it's just built into the phone now as a default. I like that, because this wasn't the default on the EVO 4G and I suffered some ill fated, over exposed shots before I found the setting. So now you just have to tap to focus and adjust brightness. Simple enough! Works in video mode too, even WHILE recording!===== Camera in 3D =====Taking pictures in 3D is novel, but getting the perfect shot can be hopelessly difficult. There's a 2 second delay. Your subject has to stay still, period. I tried taking pictures of my pets, and not one came out perfectly because they inevitably move in the 2 second wait after pressing the button till it actually takes the shot. Images captured in 3D can also be viewed in 2D, but there's a little trick involved. You have to use the pinch gesture to zoom into the photo slightly. Alternately, you can touch and drag the photo, as if moving between photos, although this doesn't technically disable the autostereoscopic display like pinching to zoom does, meaning you can still notice the subtle vertical lines of the autostereoscopic screen effect (much like those promotional lenticular "3D" holograms you may have seen on cereal boxes, or other places). Perhaps the device is capturing two shots, which explains why the 3D mode takes 2 seconds to fully capture the shot.===== Video =====This is where EVO 3D's dual core processor shines. On my EVO 4G, capturing smooth video was often an utter disappointment. Video would often be choppy, pixelated and unsynched with the audio, that is, when the video would even record at all. Sometimes it completely cut out after a few seconds, or decided to capture sound but no video. It seemed to get worse as time went on. What was causing the issues was beyond me, but it had to be some other app's processes getting in the way. Email? Tasker? Sprint's own ridiculous and lousy built in apps? Not sure, but I had a class 4 SD card, so that shouldn't have been the bottleneck. Nevertheless, the EVO 3D records flawless video, even after transferring all my apps and settings to the new device. Perfect! Now I don't have to worry about whether I will capture flawed video of the kids, and in 3D to boot! Another great new addition is that you can now zoom in and refocus (by touching the screen on the subject you'd like to refocus on) DURING video capture! Phenomenal! Videos are also saved in MP4 format instead of that useless 3GP that the EVO 4G uses. This includes 3D videos, which when opened on a normal computer show the left and right channels side by side, though each channel appears stretched.===== Video in 3D =====Now, do beware of high battery usage with 3D capture--I calculated around 1% per minute. 3D video capture ate through the battery like it was a piece of pumpkin pie with an extra large dollop of whipped cream! Nevertheless, shooting video in 3D seems much easier than shooting photos in 3D because you don't really have to worry about your subject staying still. It's great for those shots of the kids, or pets, or a high-speed train coming right at you!To my great relief, video shot in 3D can indeed be viewed in either 2D or 3D, on demand. When viewing a 3D video, it will default to 3D, but if you tap the screen, you'll see a 3D/2D box icon in the top right corner of the screen. Tap it to toggle between 3D and 2D. I'll add more info in the comments about converting between various 2D and 3D formats for viewing on other 2D and 3D devices, including 3D televisions and such, so stay tuned! Also, 3D videos as well asBUG NOTICE: Within my first few days of using the 3D camera and camcorder, I noticed a fair number of my videos and pictures were only getting shot in 2D instead of 3D, and the 3D was definitely switched on. I think it may have something to do with powering the device on with the 3D already set to 3D mode. So be sure to switch it off and on if you're taking photos outside, where you won't necessarily see the 3D effects clearly.===== Movies in 3D =====HTC has included The Green Hornet in 3D, as a psuedo "app", so you can find it under the same name, on the apps screen in the T's. It seems like the "app" is merely just a link to HTC's "Watch" app. I also had to agreen to a mile-long terms of service agreement, install the software update, and create an HTC Watch account, before it would let me watch the included movie. For all the effort, they could have at least included a better 3D movie like Avatar or Tron! Something I'd not mind watching over and over. The Green Hornet wasn't that great of a movie, but I digress.===== Other Thoughts on 3D =====The 3D features of the EVO 3D may feel a bit gimicky to some, but that's likely only because of the small viewing "sweet spot" due to it being glasses-free technology. It's not likely that any glasses-free 3D device will be able to improve on that limitation without tracking your eyes, plus it will likely remain single-viewer. But, that's what you get without having to wear those nerdy specs/goggles! The 3D effect is definitely disorienting the first time you see it, but that fades quickly the more you get used to it. After a few days, I still find the 3D effects quite novel! Will it wear off? I'll keep you posted.Thankfully, you can view 3D pictures and videos in either of the two landscape orientations. You aren't locked to just landscape-left such as you were limited to in the early days of Android. The EVO 3D is smart enough to flip the left & right eyes when you rotate the device. And to my surprise, you CAN view 3D media in portrait mode as well. I didn't think that'd be the case, but 3D does go in all 3 orientation directions. However, you cannot capture 3D photos and videos in portrait orientation like you can in 2D mode, and the 3D-viewing "sweet spot" is a lot more finicky to get right in portrait orientation. Some people have been reporting having headaches induced by the 3D effects, I've been messing with it almost all day with no ill effects. If you don't get headaches from 3D movies in the theater or on 3D TVs, you'll probably be fine.===== qHD Display =====The EVO 3D features a new display, which has a higher resolution of 540x960, as opposed to the EVO 4G's 480x800. This means the images are crisper, albeit slightly smaller, but I really like that. It makes the notification bar notably thinner than the EVO 4G, with smaller icons, meaning the EVO 3D can fit more icons on the notification bar than its predecessor. Beautiful! I'm also thankful that the display is not AMOLED, because its RGBG PenTile arrangement of pixels generates an annoying checkerboard effect. Look it up on Wikipedia to see what I mean. However, Super AMOLED is perfectly fine, as it uses the normal RGB pixel arrangement, so that's desirable. Also, for those of you interested in using a stylus, especially on those cold winter-glove days, you'll need a capacitive stylus like this Targus ([...]) which I used on my EVO 4G, and it works just as great now on my EVO 3D. It's especially handy on apps & games that require a lot of finger swipes, because the longer your skin touches against a surface, the more it perspires, thus making it stickier.===== Battery Life =====Speaking of battery life, there's nothing that's irked me about the EVO 4G more than the daily 2pm low-battery automatic power down! It used to last at least a good day, but lately it just tanks way too quickly. I was holding out hope that wouldn't be the case with the EVO 3D, but so far, after using it with the same apps and settings transferred from the EVO 4G, it lasts about a day if I don't use the 3D features. If I do use the 3D features, it tanks after just half a day. Thankfully, there's a handy feature called Power Save mode that disables backgrounded apps once the battery dips below a certain percentage, customizable via Settings > Power. In any case, the culprit reported by the Battery Use utility was the display, taking 70% of battery (likely due to the 3D effects), followed closely by "phone idle" at 9% and "wifi" at 5%. So either I need to not use this thing so much, or HTC needs to improve their display technology, and preferably not by going the AMOLED route! Super AMOLED is fine though, because it doesn't have the pixel-checkerboard effect like regular AMOLED does.On that note, if you're looking for a Sprint smartphone with awesome battery life, check out my review of the Windows Phone 7 powered HTC Arrive ([...]), which lasts over two days on one charge, even with ridiculous settings, tons of email accounts and all that jazz.===== Call Quality =====I've never reported on call quality in a review before, never needed to. Besides, I make so few calls. But so many of the early reviews had complaints that I had to at least account for this myself, and I'm happy to report that it's been a non issue, on my device anyway. I've made plenty of test calls to confirm this in the first week of use.===== Email =====HTC's built in email app has always been subpar. Thankfully HTC updated their email app, and while it still isn't without flaws (such as defaulting to POP instead of IMAP, not keeping messages on the POP server by default, lack of selecting all messages for deleting or marking all as read), you can now select multiple messages to mark as read or delete, so that's great. There's also some UI improvements to get used to, words are now purely icons on the reply/action buttons. I have also noticed some bugs where I'll not get notified for new emails from one of my accounts, for several hours. Then, when it finally does work it wants to notify my every 5 minutes, even when new emails have not come in since the last notification. Annoying!===== Dual Core Performance and Plentiful App Storage =====Installing apps on the EVO 4G was often a pain in the neck, for two reasons. Thankfully the EVO 3D takes care of both those issues. The first issue is terrible download and installation performance, causing the EVO 4G to slow down or freeze up constantly throughout the process, and good luck trying to install multiple apps simultaneously (or even back to back). It often doesn't work! That could also partly be due to the second issue though, which is low disk space. On my EVO 4G, I have a bundle of apps that aren't capable of being moved to the SD card, and the built in app storage space is limited to less than 512MB. Still, you'd think that would be plenty for mobile apps, but some apps are surprisingly large, or get large quickly because of excessive data storage or caching... the biggest culprit being HTC's own email app which is currently consuming 90MB! Other offenders include Facebook, Google Reader, Google Docs and Google Voice. Wow, Google! Seriously?! In case you weren't aware, when your app storage reaches 90%, you can no longer install new apps (unless those apps default to installing to the SD card). This limitation issue is an outrageous annoyance.Thankfully, the EVO 3D takes care of both the performance and the limitation issues. Naturally, the dual core processor has allowed me to install new apps without hindering my ability to do other things simultaneously. As for limits? Nope! It's got a whole 1GB of internal app storage! I'm not sure why so many sites are reporting 4GB of internal memory for app storage, but it's simply not true! My file browsing app noted just over 1100 MB of app storage. Nevertheless, even the apps I had on the SD card on my EVO 4G fit within the 1GB of internal app storage on the EVO 3D, so I'm not complaining! There was also a generous 8GB class 4 (fast) micro SD card included, and you're gonna need it with those 3D videos. They're absolutely huge! So, I decided to just pop in my 16GB SD card that I'd been using with my EVO 4G. (I got the Topram on Amazon for cheap: [...]). If you're going to be taking a lot of video (even 2D video), I do suggest getting the higher capacity card, no question!===== Software Improvements =====The EVO 3D has a task manager app which I'm assuming is provided by HTC and NOT built into Gingerbread, because it's not on the EVO 4G that I updated to Gingerbread. In any case, it's a simple app that lets you see other running apps, how much memory they're taking and freely kill one or all of them at will. We also gain the Mirror app, which is handy for checking your teeth via the front facing camera, but it seems to have come at a cost, as we've now lost the Flashlight app that was available on the EVO 4G. A good replacement for the Flashlight app is TeslaLED which also features an incredibly handy flashlight widget for the home screen! HTC also seems to have changed the functionality of the app listing screen, and I don't like what they've done to the scrollability of it. You cannot flick to scroll continuously through the entire selection of apps like you could before. Instead, the scrolling snaps to each set of 5 rows. This will be hugely annoying when looking for an app that starts with Z. There's no quick scroll feature on the side, either, such as the quick scroll bar you can drag when scrolling through the contacts. On the bright side, however, there are now two new tabs in the app screen. One lets you see the most used apps. The other lets you As for Gingerbread itself, there's now a RESTART option when you hold the power button down. I've been waiting for a restart feature for ages! It takes so long to turn off the phone, that sometimes I'd forget to turn it back on. So a restart feature is extremely handy!As for HTC Sense, I've always been a fan of it. The new lock screen is fantastic, customizable via Settings > Personalize > Lock Screen. From there you can choose one of six lock screen formats, which determines which large widget will appear on the lock screen: wallpaper, photo album, friend stream, weather, stocks or clock. The default is weather. For no large widget, simply change it to wallpaper. However, I do wish the weather on the lock screen showed the 3-5 day forecast, or at least allowed for adding custom widgets to the lock screen rather than having to choose from HTC's standard choices.My biggest complaint with Sense is that it only provides 7 home screens when it should offer 9. If you trigger Sense's expose feature (see Hot Tips in comments) you'll see all 7 home screens at once, but clearly there's room for two more! Also be careful not to flick too hard on the home screen, or it'll spin through all the screens and you'll end up right back where you were! Pointless in my opinion, really.===== Transferring Apps and Data =====You'll probably be tempted to use the built in bluetooth transfer feature when it prompts you the first time you turn it on, which works great to transfer contacts if you don't have another Android phone, but if you DO have an Android phone I highly suggest using MyBackup (available in the Android marketplace for $5). I purchased it the day before I got my EVO 3D, and ran the backup which I saved to the SD card. You can save contacts, calendars, home screens, settings, and apps (but not app data, unless both phones are rooted). When I got the EVO 3D, I replaced the SD card, setup my Google account and redownloaded MyBackup (reinstalls of previously purchased apps are free), and restored my apps. The process went smoothly, and took about an hour both ways.===== Bottom Line =====All in all, the 3D aspect of the phone has huge potential, especially if planning to view 3D photos and videos from the EVO 3D on other devices, like 3D TVs and such, where the viewing experience doesn't require such a restricted viewing area. Thus it seems pretty future compatible in that sense. The camera could stand to benefit from some speed improvements more so than megapixel improvements, in my opinion. The picture quality of the EVO 3D is at least on par with the higher res camera on the EVO 4G, so I don't mind. Other than 3D, this device is still worth it just for the other improvements made over its predecessor. Thankfully being a Premier Gold member, I was able to upgrade after only a year, but I'm no doubt glad to be an early adopter. It was a worthy risk, especially since Sprint doesn't have an iPhone yet, but the EVO 3D is definitely much more comfortable than the iPhone in the hands. Now all we need is a breakthrough in battery technology, and we'll be all set! All in all, I decided to give the EVO 3D a healthy 4.5 stars. I rounded up for the Amazon rating though. :)I hope you found this review informative and helpful so far. I'll keep the conversation going in the comments, including my favorite apps and some hot tips. Feel free to check them out and respond with any questions or comments!

Different Amazon vendors give different cables! Cellular 5 Star gave best. Importer520 cables were okay. Item44less were worst I compared the cable I received with my original iPhone 4 and 3 cables. I cannot tell any differences other than a slightly different feel of the rubber/plastic material along the cable length, which by the way also differs between my genuine Apple iphone 4 and 3 cables. Another reviewer posted pictures on Amazon in which the cable in question appeared to have a slightly wider or larger connectors, but mine are identical in size, and appearance.I am very happy with this purchase and will purchase several more.ADDENDUM April 20, 2011=======================After my initial great experience with the cable (that I ordered from Amazon's merchant Cellular 5 Star), I ordered 3 more cables, and did not realize that the "default" merchant had changed to Importer520. I just received these 3 cables and they look similar to genuine Apple cables at quick glance, but on closer inspection, they all had surface blemishes and slight irregularities. They also had a suspicious looking "Designed by Apple in California Assembled in China" stamped on the cable length.The cable from Cellular 5 Star was of very good quality that I could NOT distinguish from genuine Apple cables, but the ones from Importer520 are slightly inferior. The feel of the cable length material is good though, in that it is supple. It will coil and uncoil without keeping the bent shape.I have contacted Importer520 to see if I can get a refund, but their stated return policy states that they will not refund shipping costs, which when I ordered was almost all the purchase price.ADDENDUM June 16, 2011======================I purchased another "OEM" cable, this time from Item44Less and this cable is the worst of the bunch. The length of the cable is made out of a rigid plastic that does not bend like the more supple rubber-like material of the genuine Apple cables or even from Cellular 5 Star or Importer520.ADDENDUM September 2, 2011==========================I purchased another "OEM" cable, this time from C and J Accessories, which actually qualifies for Amazon Prime since their order fulfillment is through Amazon. This cable is clearly not authentic with the end that connects to the iPhone being larger by about 0.5 mm width and length. The other Amazon merchants cables were identical to design, but differed in quality. This cable actually differs in its design with its wider and thicker connector end. The length of the cable is also more plastic than a flexible rubber, compared to authentic Apple cables. I would say this is almost as bad as Item44Less.ADDENDUM September 19, 2011===========================I purchased a cable from Niceeshop and it looks genuine except that the cable length material is not as supple as the genuine Apple cables. The cable length material is not as rigid as the Item44Less cable, but more inflexible (retaining bends) than the Importer520 cables.SUMMARY (Ranked in order of similarity to an authentic Apple cable)================================================================1. Cellular 5 Star cables are the best and indistinguishable from my genuine Apple iPhone cables.2. Importer520 is acceptable, but slightly inferior to Cellular 5 Star with some cosmetic blemishes. The cable length is made out of a high quality material.3. Niceeshop is acceptable, but the cable length is not as supple as the Cellular 5 Star or Importer520.4. C and J Accessories, although it qualifies for Amazon Prime, has its iPhone connector end as larger than the authentic one with a cheaper cable length material.5. I would avoid Item44Less because of the rigid plastic cable material that does not bend and keeps the angular bent formation from its coiled position during shipping. The cable length material is the lowest quality (i.e. most plastic like) compared to the above four competitors.

Great phone Needed to update my phone. I don't use my cell as much anymore and I was tired of buy $30 phone cards every month and not hardly using it. With this phone I get triple minutes and I don't feel like I'm throwing away my money! Very nice phone. Love it!

Nice looking, terrible functionality I used to be a big fan of Samsung sliders. I owned the D500, D600, D900, and now this S8300. I think the styling of the phone is excellent. The functionality is terrible.Pros: The screen looks amazing. The touch screen sensitivity is good. Voice quality is good. The size is perfect for my pocket.Cons: The software! The phone is always doing things I don't want it to do. I use the button lock feature all the time but still I find the button volume is always changing. I like to have it set to zero, but I have the impression that Samsung really wants you to have sound effects for all the buttons. Whenever I pull the phone out of my pocket I find that he button volume has been turned up. There is no way to control how sliding the phone during a phone call effects the call. The phone automatically ends a call when the phone is slid down. I do not want this to happen, but there is no way to change it. In order to use the loud speaker you must slide the phone up. Then if you are finished with the loud speaker, if you slide the phone back down it will end the call, very annoying!The worst is the texting functionality. The use of apostrophes with T9 is almost impossible. For almost all words you must manually insert an apostrophe, which requires 4 keys.The side menu is nice but always gets in the way when trying to view an incoming text message. The phone also always goes to function to add a photo contact for some reason.Software is terrible. this phone is only nice looking not good to use.

NOT and original Blackberry Torch battery I just purchased this very battery. It arrived in a small plastic ziplock pouch, not sealed in bubble plastic and card like one you would buy at AT&T or at a Blackberry dealership. It LOOKS authentic (codes, Made in Japan, etc) but when inserted in my Blackberry Torch 9800 it did not work, re-charge AT ALL. the LED indicator of my BB blinked red a couple of times, and then stopped. The battery acted inside my BB as if it was dead. My understanding is that BB batteries are coded to prevent the use of pirated batteries on BB equipment. If the BB does not recognize the code, the battery will NOT work. That is exactly what happened with this battery, which leads me to believe that, in spite of the advertised "authenticity", it is not. The tell-tale sign is the price of this battery; a genuine BB is around $30-40. I returned it today and hopefully it will be refunded by "Amazon" (it is not an Amazon product, my box came from a secondary supplier). Hope this helps!

I did not like this This was bad it was to big and very tight on my phone the whole thing was hard to work with

Cases sold by this retailer are fakes! BEWARE. I ordered three of these cases in different colors and was extremely disappointed to find out that they are knockoffs of the Element Case Vapor Pro. There is a video on uTube that points out the differences and I highly suggest that you watch it before buying any of these from this vendor. Amazon, you need to do a better job of weeding out the unethical vendors on your site.[...]%3A%2F%2F[...]%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DVpZwS1vntPU&ei;=JTAfUIDFKYfk0QGXgYH4CA&usg;=AFQjCNF6EdNYxI-w8CjXcaevPz5mf9YvXg

Perfect! My last LG Quantum case scraped the inside of the keyboard so I looked until I found this case and it is great, I love that it comes with a removal tool(my last case was SO hard to get off!)I also love the feel of the case it is so smooth but has grip at the same time, I am thinking about buying one in all the colors, and the price is also great, couldn't ask for a better hard case!

Love it Love it. So pretty and i get alot of compliments on it. Just wish it had a front and a back piece that snapped like another case that I ordered before. But other than that its perfecy

Stylish and easy to use I've been thinking about getting a portable speaker for a while, but never found one that seemed to match the style of my home. The Jamboxes and Beats speaker look so masculine that it didn't seem like a good match. I love the soft form and nice color combinations of the nude audio speakers. The rubber bumper also protects the speaker when you're on the go.I usually dread setting up new electronics, but it took me only a couple minutes to pair the device and I was up and running. My music sounded great and the speaker is small enough for me to bring back and forth between my home and work. I've even tried out the speaker phone feature and it worked on the first try.

Love this Case! I bought a Body Glove case for $29 which was stiff and didn't have a kickstand. I am returned it and ordered this one and it is so much better i am so glad I ordered it. It comes in 2 parts, the inner shell and then the silicone outer part. It fits the phone PERFECTLY. I have already dropped it twice and it's completely protected. The kickstand works great and the outer silicone covering actually has tabs covering some of the ports (like the charger) for additional protection that you just lift up to plug in. This is the best case i have ever owned, I can't believe it was so much less expensive than what's out there in the retail stores. The colors are fun too. I love it and may get another one in a different color as well.

Great Phone with lot of features I am researching to buy a ipod and using my regular phone. I realized from my research that this was the best phone available in the market. If I go for ipod, I should be taking data plan connection, but in this case it is not compulsory. GPS works with satellite and no need to have a data plan.On one to one comparison with iphone, this is the best one and going for it.

BLACKBERRY 9670 IS GSM??? hello, good night I want to know if they are gsm blackberry ??... chip technology ??.... please respond .... I'm interested in the product blackberry

cool I love it . The sides cover the screen so if you do drop it flush with the ground it wont break the screen.

Good phone, but has a few flaws I got this phone because I wanted an unlocked international compatible smartphone that was a bit different. I had researched many different options, and I have always liked Sony products so I picked this up. Upon doing some research this is just an Xperia S with a factory overclock. It ships with ICS and supposedly come April we will be getting Jelly bean. Anyways onto the pros and cons:Pros:-Fast processor-Good amount of RAM-32 GB of storage-Screen is nice and big-Very unique phone-Good ergonomics and design-AMAZING cameraCons:-Signal will occasionally drop and re pickup, when it does this, the phone has a tendency to lock up (happens when traveling, freezes for about 10 seconds)-Vibrate motor is Loud-Cant expand the storage-Cant remove the battery-Doesn't have Jellybean yetI am using this phone on Tmobile in Southern California, and I can pick up Edge about 30% of the time, and the other 70% I'm on HSPA which is similar to 3g. When I went to Florida, I was able to pick up 3g. The data speeds are good on HSPA and 3g, but Edge is just plain slow. This is more of a carrier issue though.

Absolutely useless - do not buy! This phone is absolutely useless. The touch screen is horrible, the menus are not functional at all, writing an SMS is a nightmare, sending or receiving MMS does not work, using Bluetooth does not work.Don't be fooled by the fact that it looks nice. Do yourself a favour and get another phone.

Great customer service So my first thought at opening this item was how sturdy it felt. This item did not work at first and I was frustrated but on inspection I found That it was a short in the cable. It Took about 4 days after contacting the company to receive my new cable! this unit works Great . having never owned a solar charger it seams that this will do the trick! I do however wish that their was an attachment to charge my Cannon camera batteries. However it did come with plenty adapters and works great on my PSP and cell phone. I imagine that finding the adapter for my camera will be an easy inexpensive Fix.Overall This product is great and I would recommend this item to all my friends.

Review update, Stopped working after 11 months, customer service said I was rude because I didn't agree with them... Skip IT Let me tell you first off that Amazon is combining the Snapfon ezONE reviews with the Snapfon ezTWO and if you have the "Two" like I do . The Bluetooth DOES WORK!I emailed snapfon and they (Katie) sent me an email back with in hours with a link to all the videos and how to do things on this phone( [...]) and I watched the video on pairing Bluetooth devices and I could not manage to get my Plantronics Model 320 working . I called the 800 number she gave me and I spoke with Veronica and I'm sorry to say I was not my best to her and I apolize. Anyway she connected me with her supervisor Jim and he walked me through it, the problem was getting the headset to be ready to pair not the phone, I felt like an idiot after I bragged how technically competent I was and Jim being the professional that he is took it in stride.So let me tell you "BUY THIS PHONE"! it is perfect if you just want to do normal cell phone stuff, yes you can text , and other stuff but its really easy and I just put my ATT Sim card in and I was good to go!UPDATE Stopped working after 11 months, customer service said I was rude because I didn't agree with them... Skip ITThe technical support (DO NOT HONOR WARRANTY) alone makes this phone a worth while purchase alone. Amazon (Prime) had this phone delievered to my front porch in 15 hours after purchasing it so anyone who thinks that $79.99 cost for prime is high is dead wrong and you also get all those movies & tv shows for free.Thanks again to all.

Fabulous Fintie! A handsome little stylus that seems to be made with a firm gel-like pad. From what I can see and feel on this stylus, there is nothing that would split, crack or otherwise fall apart. Very responsive when used with my Kindle Fire HD. Loved the price and it seems to be a great product.

The phone is locked I didn't read the negative reviews before buying so I also ended up with a locked phone. And I didn't find this out in time to return so now I have a useless locked phone to dispose.It's hard to believe they're deceiving customers and still making a profit thanks to Amazon. I just opened a complain with them, we'll see how it goes.

Really Great Headset I've tried lots of headsets and I have to say this headset is a great device. Easy to use and set up. Great noise cancellation. Plus it's comfortable has multiple different ear tips to choose from and after doing the update I can stream music. Love it!

COSMOS FASHIONABLE GRID BREATHABLE BAG POUCH WITH NO NECK STRAP I BOUGHT THIS BECAUSE I WANTED THE NECK STRAP, DID I GET ONE? NOPE IT WAS A NO SHOW, JUST LIKE MOST OF THESE OTHER PEOPLE, WOW I SHOULD HAVE READ THE REVIEWS. IF YOU WANT A LITTLE ALMOST USELESS POUCH THEN BUY IT.YA ONLY 5 BUCKS BUT STILL A RIP OFF JUST THE SAME

Rugged, stylish and keeps my iPhone 5 safe and at-hand on my belt I have been using this Nite Ize black belt clip holster case every day for the last 2 months ... It's one of the few iPhone 5 belt clip holster cases that has no magnetic closure.I chose this belt clip holster case with Velcro closure since magnets affect the iPhone's compass. So, with this case I don't have to recalibrate the compass every time I need to use it.This Black Nite Ize case (Model CCSL-03-01) protects my iPhone 5 and keeps it safe and at-hand on my belt, in a fixed horizontal position.PROS:The case is made with durable materials - Ballistic Nylon accented with Hypalon. The nylon protects the phone from impacts. Hypalon is a weather-resistant elastomer that adds style and practicality to this caseExternal Case Dimensions: 5.5" x 3" x 1.7". So, this belt holster comfortably fits my iPhone 5 with a form fitted case. I have used both the slimmer Incase Pro Snap Case, as well as the bulkier OtterBox Defender Series CaseThis belt holster case has a strong 1.25" wide rugged plastic flex clip that fits securely on my waistband or trousers beltThe flex clip on this belt holster is quite user-friendly ... I can attach and remove my belt holster without having to unbuckle my beltThe belt holster's flex clip can fit my broadest belts (up to 2.25" wide) or fit directly on my waistband or gym bag strapThe Velcro closure is 3.25" long x .75" wide. So, my iPhone is very secure in this belt holster. Certainly much stronger than any magnet closure can afford ... and, of course, without any compass interference!This belt case has elastic side flaps ... so, taking out and replacing the iPhone in the holster is ultra-easyThere is enough space to keep my headset jacked in the belt holster caseThe inner part of the case is smooth so my iPhone is safe from scratchesThere is an inner pocket that is handy for keeping a credit card, ID or bank notes ... handy if I need to travel lightCONS:Velcro of course, makes a noise when the flap is opened. I either close the flap halfway down or just open the Velcro really slowly if I am in a meeting ... works for meNOT REALLY A CON: This black ballistic nylon and Hypalon elastomer belt holster looks is designed for outdoor sports ... so, this holster may clash with your business suitThis 'black' Nite Ize case (Model CCSL-03-01) is also available inblack and mossy oak (Model: CCSL-03-22)I bought them both :))Overall, the belt holster seems to be well crafted, it's affordably priced and looks like it would last a long time.I'll update this review if things go awry.Hope my review was helpful ... Jeffrey A. (Jeff)JULY 2014: One year later, my black Nite Ize case looks none the worse for wear.

uNu DX-1700 battery case: excellent product!

cheap price great case... cheap price case is perfect it has a hard plastic shell with a smooth rubber inside great for protection if dropped..

Feels good, looks helpful Thank goodness I haven't dropped the phone yet, but it looks like it would protect well from most impacts. I like the feel of it a lot. The phone by itself is smaller and slicker, so not as easy to hold. This slides in a pocket easily, but is easier to grip. The controls are still easily accessible. Good product.

Awesome phone I love my Nokia twist phone. It holds a charge for three days! I have had no trouble learning how to use it. The reception is great.No more dropped calls like at&t. I could not be happier with the switch and my new nokia twist. The sound is clear. Response time with messages is right on also. No delays! Yeah!

samsung galaxy note 3 I didn't received this item, so I don't know how good it was.Everything when on to bbe poor. I don't think I can Making business with saller for the second time.

Otherwise great Heaset Humbled by 3 Inevitible Drawbacks First off, let me say I had very high hopes for these. They are, by and large, extremely well made, the sound quality through the earpieces is fantastic, and the engineering around the "fit" of the earpieces is top notch: there are actually small pistons which glide back and forth to adjust the distance of the earpiece to the stem its on, and they twist smoothly around their axeses (axis's?) for additional custom comfort.These were not cheap - at over $120, but they solved both my bluetooth/wireless cell phone headset needs as well as my wireless stereo headset needs. And the bluetooth functionality worked great - synching alternately to my PC and my cellphone as needed. So with the exception of the comment #3 below, the "wireless" part appeared fine. A word on the sound quality, stereo-music playback-wise: Note that after extensive discussion with my high-end audiophile buddies, who mentioned that the new APT-X high def audio standard (supported by Samsung S3, but maybe not ? by iPhone) should be a factor in headphone purchase - and these have it! I didn't know about this before I bought them, but this explains the great stereo sound quality.So far, I have to say, 5 stars and worth every penny!The headset has 3 drawbacks, however, one of which is fatal - and I'm pretty sure it will happen to you sooner or later.1) There is a design flaw at the center of the headband, which is made of soft plastic sandwiched between 2 strips of rubber - at first blush a solid job of flexibility and strength. There is a fundamental design flaw in that headband though: its only a matter of time until a stress fracture appears dead-center of that headband. From there its just inevitable that the stress crack leads to total failure: the headband will crack in half, just like the picture;2) There is a small rubber strap that came with the headset, which is supposed to be "plugged in" to 2 small plastic locking holes in the headband, to relieve stress on the headband and to serve as a cushion against your head (better fit/comfort, suppose) was really cheaply made, and the plastic click/snap on either end which "mates" with the holes in the headband broke off the first time I tried to install it, rendering the strap useless.... possibly even leading to the stress fracture in #1. So its a shame to see such a well-builte, good sounding (caveat - comment #3) brought down by a 1/10 of a penny rubber strap.3) Cellphone sound: This is unfortunately another deal-breaker, and the reason I'm opting not to simply replace these with another pair when I return them (drag). Most people I speak with on the phone when using this headset report that I sound either a) very scratchy and hard to hear, b) like I'm at the end of a long tunnel, or c) in a marble bathroom with lots of echo. I use these for business, and I just can't have the sound quality that compromised. I will add that other people I talk to on this headset say good things: that I sound fine and/or I'm coming in loud & clear. So for a long time, I thought the problem was "not me". But at least 50% of the time it appears that it is, in fact, "my problem".So were it not for the design flaw (#1) I would have kept these (and rolled with the occasional complaint from callers about the way I sounded): they fit well, they look good, they're solidly built, and the stereo playback is great. I'm convinced, though that this stress fracture will re-appear on the next pair, and I don't want to gamble that being able to install that cheap rubber ("stress relief"?) strap will make a difference.So I must, overall, give these a "one star/do not buy" rating.Hope this was helpful.

A Capable and Reliable Phone As the previous owner of the Galaxy S3, which up until recently was what many say was the best phone on the market, the HTC One makes all other phones seem outdated. If you are a avid news reader, sports fanatic, or social networker then the Blinkfeed home screen is for you. While many may find the Blinkfeed home screen a drawback because of not being able to remove it, it is very useful to have all of your updates for news, game scores, and social networks in one easily accessible place. The camera is by far the best camera in any phone I have owned. The front camera is incredible. Ever picture I have taken so far has been flawless. The speakers are loud and exactly what was described in the previews of this phone. If you have trouble hearing an alarm in the morning, this phone will definitely wake you up. This phone is available in 32gb and 64gb, if you use a lot of apps and put a lot of media in the phone,I recommend the 64gb. The HTC Sense Remote is my favorite feature on this phone. The set up takes only a few seconds and it works much better than my actual tv remote. The battery has lasted me two days without charge already. I constantly use the internet and text on this phone, with my Galaxy S3, the battery would die in a few hours. This phone is perfect for anyone on the go.Pros: Camera, HTC BoomSound with Beats Audio, HTC Sense Remote, Battery Life, Large and Bright ScreenCons: HTC Blinkfeed, Non-expandable memory, Non-removable battery

Great Case I usually don't write reviews but this product is an absolutely great value. People constantly comment on the aesthetics of it, and it provides enough protection for what i need. Fits perfectly, and as a previous reviewer mentioned it does make it easier to push the buttons, particularly the one to unlock the screen. I must recommend.

Brought my phone back! After 15 min of careful work my phone is like new. This is probably easier than just replacing the screen which requires removing a ton of glue and still disassembling most of the frame. You will still need to pry out 5 or six small components that are glued on with low tac adhesive. But once they are free it is an easy to install them in the new frame.

Good Enough for a Sweet Promo Vid, Not Sturdy Enough for Real Life I owned mine for 23 days, did 11 rides for 502 miles on a road/cross bike (only on paved roads or limestone, no single track or racing). The plastic clips that connect the holster to the bar mount sheared off on a 30mph downhill. I don't remember hitting any bumps, but who knows. Luckily no cars behind me, and it didn't happen on a bridge. The case salvaged the phone, although it looks like it's been to hell and back. I will not trust this for regular use again. It would probably be okay for light trail riding with soft tires or suspension, but not on a stiff bike made for speed.

Excellent phone with great display Tagital 4.3 inch is a very good value in price per performance smartphone. It is easily handholdable, thin and is a wonderful smartphone. It uses a1.3 GHZ MTK6572 Cortex-A7 Dual-Core Processor. I had absolutely no hardware or hang issues with this phone.It has a 4GB ROM and a 512 GB RAM. This runs Android 4.2.2 Android. I will go into the specifications and review based on my user experience. Most of Android phones have ARM based processors. This makes sure all of the Apps in Google Play ecosystem available. The screen resolution 4.3" IPS Multi-touch screen + 800 x 480 pixels screen resolution. It is very clear on this 4.3in screen. The phone comes with a backup battery as well. This is extremely useful when doing long travels/camping etc. Cellular frequencies are GSM 2G 850/900/1800/1900MHz WCDMA 3G 850/2100MHz with Dual SIM, Dual standby. I am using with _TWO_ T-Mobile micro SIM. The phone has a dual SIM, both are normal SIM card can be had. This is an awesome feature lacking in most mainstream phones (at least in US). This Tagital phone supports a wireless with Wi-Fi (802.11 BGN). Has 2 cameras. You can use an extensible SD card slot (up to 32 GB) as well as cloud storage. Battery came for day with moderate usage. Battery usage really depends on how heavy you use the system. Overnight it drained very less. The capacitive touch screen was really good, pinch-zoom, highlight, Copy-Paste all worked very well.I used phone in speakerphone/head mode and had no issues. Used for long calls - incoming/outgoing, I can say with confidence it works great as I used extensively for calling for couple of days. No signal issues with T-Mobile in my area. Google synced all my contacts automatically.Speaker was loud enough. In a room, once I keep the phone in a stand it was good. FM is supported with provided audio headphone cable as well as Bluetooth is supported.Android smartphones are really customizable to your heart's content. It is here where Tagital shines. Using a native Android 4.2.2, they have achieved something at a low cost. This can have a very wide reaching audience. This phone is highly affordable and you wonder how they have pulled it off. It is a great little computer. This phone can be a great gift for students who want to develop applications on Android. Excellent choice.I tried Google Voice Search and asked "what is capital of United States". The voice recognition part was great and it was able to recognize and dictate the answer. I also tried Wolfram Alpha and asked bunch of questions. E.g., what is world population, what is population of China etc? The microphone picked up correctly and answered through Wolfram Alpha. Apps like Calculator, Gmail performed flawlessly.I watched multiple video through few applications. Obvious first choice was YouTube. Was able to search and watch videos. I used TwIT.TV app and watched some segments of a podcast (video streaming through Wi-Fi). Again smooth playback. Handholding is really easy given the weight of it. It was a colorful blue; no heat observed handholding the phone. It is plastic, and buttons are made of plastic. For a kid, this is perfect also though the feature set is equally appealing to an adult. I was so enamored with low cost computers in late 90s and it seems I am reliving them with phones. If you want to listen to podcasts/watch video then this is perfect. Just keep it in a stand and connect to power. See my video review to get an idea of what I am referring to.For a computer geek, it is a challenge to design something with minimal resources - screen resolution, RAM, storage, chipset. Tagital has designed a smartphone with budget conscious customer in mind. Out of the box, it worked to my satisfaction given the specification and price. Once powered on, it directly came to a working condition. No need to setup account prior to using. I signed with Wi-Fi, the Wi-Fi router was in one bedroom. I configured in another room separated by two rooms. There was no issue with Wi-Fi signal. Once connected, I created a Google account as well. I generated a Application Specific password as I had 2 factor authentication. Once signed on, I updated applications like YouTube, Google Keyboard etc. I also downloaded few applications like TwitT.TV, Tetris from EA, etc. I downloaded Chrome and browsed few websites. Listened to Audio / Watched Video. Out of the box battery needed a full charge. Initially without charge, I did a video stream and wanted to see how device shutdown. Sure enough it shut down as battery drained. Powered on after charging and everything was fine.I am impressed enough at the engineering for the price/value/budget it delivers. The Cortex-A7 processor is a very energy efficient applications processor designed to enable low-cost, fully featured entry-level smart phones in addition to other low-power embedded and consumer applications.The Cortex-A7 processor is widely used as a standalone applications processor in entry level smartphone applications. It is also used as a LITTLE processor in ARM big.LITTLE processing technology - which powers high end mobile platforms today.This is from ARM specification. Tagital has pulled in many off the shelf components and assembled at a terrific value. I was particularly interested how it performs to streaming video. That is the golden test and it performed beautifully! I was provided this product in exchange of a fair and honest review.

Doesn't fit the Q This doesn't fit the LG MyTouch Q. Other than that, I can't say how the cover would have performed, since it's useless for me.

Doesn't hold up Nice looking case, not too big, but...one drop and crack, it splits by the vibrate button. Bad design to break so easily. Also, after having it only a couple weeks, it's beginning to peel and now looks like a cheap case when it costs me $60. I don't recommend this case, very dissapointed.

Bad fit and does not match picture First of all the picture does not match the item I received. The picture shows a weave texture, the case I received has a flat leather texture. Also the left side of the case does not stay on the phone well and constantly shifting and covering up the volume buttons. This case is going back.

Way better than Poetic Atmosphere I had the Poetic Atmosphere before and mostly liked it except for two things: 1) it was difficult to remove and 2)the part at the bottom was poorly designed and was pretty much like a rubber band protecting the bottom of my iPhone 5.This one is very similar, but solves the problems of the Poetic Atmosphere and even offers better drop protection. It also appears to improve on the previous Spigen Slim Armor by widening the charging port and the headphone port, two of the known complaints on the original Slim Armor Case. I had no problem getting my largish stereo cable (used for my car) in the headphone jack; I can't comment on the charging port since I just use the standard Apple lightning cable, but it's fairly generous.I really like this case. It's minimally bigger than the iPhone; it actually has a rubberized and ribbed case and offers decent drop protection (better than my Poetic Atmosphere but certainly no Otterbox - you can't just slam it on the ground), and most importantly for me, it looks and feels good.If you're like me and would prefer to carry your iPhone sans case but just can't do that since it would get scratched too easily and you want to add a decent protection to it without it looking like an Otterbox, this is a great case. Unlike my Poetic Atmosphere, it looks like it should last a long time.

Requires a hidden $9.99/month data plan Turned out that Verizon automatically requires a $9.99/month data plan as this is considered a "Multimedia Phone". Amazon refused to take the phone back based on the fact that they have misrepresented the information on their web site and promised to charge me $250 for deactivating this phone.

Dick Tracy This was a purchase for my Step-Father who has an iPhone. I bought it as a Christmas gift and when he received it by mail, he was like a kid in a candy store! He said the set-up was easy-peezy and it made him feel like Dick Tracy. It arrived much sooner than estimated.

loving the finger print reader. I got the phone on Friday. Enjoying it very much so far. The reason I am writing this review is to comment on the finger print reader.I read lots of reviews on the GS5 and was expecting the finger print reader to be Error prone. Many of the reviews I have read say the reader fall short of the Iphone finger print reader. I have never owned an Iphone with there finger print reader , and I assume it may be a little nicer then the Samsnung finger print reader, although the Samsung finger print reader seems flawless to me and a very nice way to unlock the phone.

For Emergency use only! Thanks to Amazon & Datexx who sent me this product for review. Datexx PowerNow PN-1 (White) was tested and here are the results:Overall Design:----------------The design is very portable. Enclosed in a sturdy enclosure and easy to carry in your purse or pocket. There is even a slot for attaching a lanyard to tie it your backpack. The material is hard acrylic and feels somewhat solid. It looks that will take some average amount of abuse and will still be functional.Flashlight & lantern feature:------------------------------The included flash light is very bright & useful. There are two lanterns that provides plenty of light in emergency situations which are natural color bright LEDs (Total of 8 LEDs) - These are very good and lasts a very long time from a fully charged state.Pressing the (*) button once will activate the super bright white Flashlight, Pressing the same button second time will activate one Lantern and pressing the same button third time will activate two Lanterns. Pressing again will turn the two lanterns off.Lantern details:2 x 4-Natural Color LED Duration:24 Hours (1 Lantern continuous use)12 Hours (2 Lantern continuous use)Flashlight details:1 X 1W super bright White LEDBrightness: about 160 LumensDuration: 36 Hours (continuous use)Charging & Discharging:------------------------Built-in Lithium Ion battery is rated for 2,400mAHInput Power: 5V/500mAHOutput Power: 5V/800mAH (MAX)This unit will take about 5-6 hours to fully charge and will indicate so by changing the 'RED' charging indicator LED to green color. It does not have any on-demand battery status indicator. Charging is done via Micro USB port (cable is included) The patented 'smart jack' provides the power Output: USB 5V (1A compatible but can deliver only about 800mAh Max) Average Cell Phone Charging Time was about... 60 ~ 90 Minutes.In my observation, During discharging to the attached cellphone the unit itself got warm. This is natural as long as it stays that way. But that also tells me some of the stored energy is lost as heat and may not be very efficient. Assuming that the unit will perform at 76% efficiency the total usable capacity of 2,400mAh will be around 1,800mAh which can be delivered to attached USB devices.Based on these assumptions, You can probably charge most cellphones may be 'once' or 'twice' at maximum before the unit needs recharging. BTW, This cannot be used to charge tablets or any other power hungry USB devices as it is not powerful enough to deliver the required amps.The unit also has a tendency to keep the 'DC-DC' converter running (when you have USB cable plugged into the SMART JACK) sort of intermittently when the built-in 2,400mAH battery gets low. In this state of low charge some cellphones will either beep or vibrate because it detects a DC 'power loss' situation. The manual says that you must disconnect immediately and must recharge the PN-1 internal battery as soon as possible.The manufacturer claims that the unit can maintain it's charge for one full year! - This is a very bold claim. I can only theorize that once the USB cable is removed from the Smart Jack the 'DC-DC' converter turns off and there no phantom current drain thereby allowing the battery to remain fully charged for up-to a year. I have not yet tried to verify that claim.Bottomline:------------This is very portable and gets the job done in emergencies. However, this does not have enough power allowing you to keep your cellphone charged for multiple times. The Flashlight and lantern features are very nice.The initial price offering is way too high. I am sure the price will come down making this very affordable useful device to have for emergency use.If you need a more powerful portable charger in the same price range givePowerGen 12000mAh External Battery Packa try. This unit has good reviews and is a very good alternative.Thanks for reading my review.Cheers!

No 3.5mm audio as advertised! There's no audio out/3.5mm out as advertised! But regardless, it still a decent charging cradle. HDMI works okay for videos on the phone but there's no mirroring.

great product! these work great! I dont know what all of these other people are talking about regarding the bubbles - it's not the screen protector's fault that you dont know how to put it on the phone properly. I both the front and back protectors on my phone - bubble free! I would definately recommend this product - thumbs up!
