HTC T-Mobile MyTouch 3G Slide Deal

I. Braggs "bgm" (Atlanta, GA USA): This phone does it all!!! You can watch movies, listen to music and surf the web and each of these things can be done while talking on the phone with it! Android 2.2 features live wallpapers, which look really cool, but drain battery life. With 'Power Manager' app, my battery lasts ALL DAY LONG with normal wallpaper! TONZ of apps and customizability! I'm synced with my office email and my personal one! I can even view attachments straight from my phone email inbox! It has Flash so I can view any website. It has a camera button and a flash. Allows me to video record and take pics and immediately share them via MMS, email, Facebook or Flicker. Videos allow you to immediately share via Youtube! My case has a stand, so I can sit it up and watch movies in both landscape and portrait mode!

Luis A. Perez: This phone is amazing there is so much you can do with it. The phone first came with Android 1.6, but I later updated to Android 2.1 and it made it alot faster and better to work with. The battery life on this phone is not so great it does not last a whole day. You can also use this phone as a mp3 player and it works really well. It is not as fast as the newer phones and when I download certain apps it slows down. The internet browser is awesome and you can watch flash based websites. The google apps work really well and I love the google calendar that syncs with the google calendar on my PC. It is an awesome phone, but it is not as fast as newer phones out there and the I wished the battery life was better on it.

Theresa Doyle: I bought this phone because it was advertised as having wifi calling and portable hotspot. It does have a thing that say hotspot but it wont turn on. So after T-Mobile replacing the phone twice I finally contacted HTC only to find out that this phone does not support hotspot. So basically I wasted alot of money on a phone that doesnt do what it said it would. Glad my contract is up in a few months so I can find something else. It's an ok phone otherwise but has no memory even with an SD Card because alot of things wont save to the card. It wants to keep them on the phone for some reason. Also the battery doesnt stay charged all day. All in all, I would not buy this phone.

HTC DROID INCREDIBLE Android Phone Deal

Strbildr (hudson valley ny) : Htc droid incredible is a nice upgrade from the htc eris i used for two years, i like to buy the phones new out of contract once they become slightly outdated , they still work great but i don't pay full price or get locked in. so far the incredible has been very reliable and easy to use, battery life is just fine , i use the advanced app killer all the time. so far so good, i think one thing people fail to remember is that these are phones with small batteries that some ask to do the things of a laptop all day that has a battery 100x the size . realistic expectations are required and you will be satisfied with your smart phone.

B. Janusch (Phoenix, AZ USA): I pre-ordered this phone and got it the day it came out in April 2010. Since day one it has been a reliable phone that gets strong signal here in Phoenix. 21 months later I upgraded to a new dual-core, 4G phone only because I got the upgrade for free. I was more than ready to stay with my Incredible for even longer. The phone wasn't perfect and there were 2 clear downs to it. The first being the brightness of the screen. It was not very useful outside. This was common in all of the 1st generation AMOLED screens. Second, 3.7" is the absolute minimum screen size for a usable phone. The phone I switched to is 4.3" and there is a noticible difference. That said, the phone never gave me trouble. It could play all early generation games, was great on WiFi and 3G alike, and came with a sturdy Sense skin from HTC that I loved. On the extended battery I got an easy 18 hours of battery life, which was more than enough.

C. Kiefer (San Francisco): This was my first "smart" phone, and I am really impressed how long it's lasted. Honestly, it looks and works exactly as it did two years ago. Sure, the screen gets fingerprints like all smartphones, but this phone seems to have a natural resistance to scratches. I've had no need to buy any extra protective accessories. The rubberized backside I'm sure is a major reason why I rarely drop it. Also, it is one of the few smartphones these days that still fits comfortably in one's pocket (measures 2-1/4" x 4-5/8").

HTC One V Prepaid Android Phone Deal

K. Burke (Houston, TX): I'd gotten my wife an Optimus Elite a few weeks before and it is definitely a nice little phone for the price, and was thinking about getting one for myself, but I was leaning towards going the power route and getting the Evo V 4G. Luckily - just in time, as they just came out - I ran across the HTC One V first. After a bit of research and weighing the options, I decided that I was tired of carrying around big, bulky phones, and that I really didn't need the extra power and capability the Evo has, so I picked up a One V. I don't talk much, use texting more, so the $35/month plan fits me perfectly, and at that price and for only $200 up front this is a steal. Now, to the phone itself...

N. Savoiu: Battery life also seems good. After a few hours of music playing and some app/web activity it was still past half full. I'm however skeptical of the "embedded" nature of the battery. And this is the main reason for just the 4 stars rating. This means that once the battery degrades (and they all do) you'll probably have to have HTC replace it or chuck the phone. However, chances are that by then you'll probably want to upgrade anyway.

 A. Adesokan: My first cellphone company was cricket, who in my mind was an "ok" provider. I really did not want to pay 130 dollars a month for a fancy phone I don't use often so this company seemed like a good idea.
I got a new phone with cricket, my first smartphone ever, and it was awesome (again it was my first smartphone) I noticed, I only got 1 or 2 bars anywhere I went. When I called, they said I had to basically pay for a new phone... that wasn't happening. So after some researching, I found virgin mobile and their phones.

HTC Trophy 6985 Windows Phone 7 3G WiFi Deal

 Carolyn Crow: I lost my iPhone and was not eligible for a upgrade so I decided to get a cheaper phone from Amazon. Most of my complaints are about switching from an iPhone to a Windows phone. First, there are multiple apps that you can get on the iPhone that are not available on the Windows phone. Second, the apps that you CAN get on both phones are less developed and have more bugs on the Windows phone. Third, when talking on the phone, it is easy to push the touch screen buttons (speaker phone, etc.). Fourth, the default internet search in Bing, but you can go to google.com if this is preferred. It just takes an extra step. Fifth, syncing with email is sometimes a bit slow.

H.W. (NY): I purchased this phone as an inexpensive back up to my contract phone and am pleasantly surprised by what I found. It has a solid feel to it. Its smaller size make it easy to operate one handed. The sound quality is quite good. The ringer is loud enough that I can hear it in noisy, outdoor places. As an added bonus, I experimented with signing it onto Net 10's BYOD-CDMA program. After paying $15 for a network ID, it is up and running. I would definitely recommend this phone to those who want the reliability of Verizon's network without the 2 year leash and high cost.

Chelsey : I loved the 1st htc trophy that I purchased through my carrier so much, that when it came time to look for another phone...this is the phone I chose. The screen on my 1st was scratched up and there were water marks on the screen from dropping it in a puddle.
This was my phone time buying an electronic device from amazon. It was brand new. All the cords and accessories were in the box. After completing the mango update through Zune, I had my old phone back again!

HTC A9192 Inspire 4G Deal

Daisy S "Daisy S" (Hot Springs, AR): I have also read some reviews, both on Amazon and other websites, that indicate the HTC Inspire has poor reception. At first I thought the same thing. But then I realized that the antenna for this phone is actually part of the SIM card cover. I don't know why they did this but if you are having reception issues make sure that the SIM card cover (bottom of phone) is securely and tightly fitted onto the phone. In addition you may need to clean the 2 copper electrodes on the cover and the phone to ensure that you have a good connection.

Damion Gadal: Quite impressed with this. The hardware is thin and light and feels solid. The screen is great. The touchscreen is responsive. The CPU is fast. With some effort you can install Cyanogen on it, to get rid of the awful HTC operating system, malware, bloatware, spyware and crapware. In the very few moments I had this phone before deleting the HTC stock ROM, I did observe about fifty apps on it that are all crapware that it doesn't let you delete, so unless you like crapware or are planning to install Cyanogen, you might want to consider another phone. I have not used it except under Cyanogen so other users may have a different experience. One note on the seller, it's really slow to ship.

Franco Martinez Carballo "Franco Mac" (Costa Rica): THe Phones Works Excelent, great speed, the cam get really great quality... Android + HTC sense is a nice interface... The only issue with the phone is the battery Life, but if you have a car charger and USB cable with you in the office you dont need to worry about it.... if ATT release the gingerbread update will be perfect!

SUPCASE Premium Hybrid Protective Deal

FangEd :I was skeptical when I first purchased this case, fearing that it would be a cheap, generic, third party case that would result in me spending more money on another case. I was wrong. This case is extremely well made, the quality is top notch. The back is crystal clear, and the sides fit snugly around your phone. It also brings out the naturally good looks of the HTC One. The only downside is that the power button on the case makes locking the phone way too sensitive. But regardless, this is a great case and I strongly recommend it!

Jay 250 (Inland Empire, CA): I ordered this case because having the clear back was important to me - I didn't want to hide the beauty of this phone, who would? The sides are made of a softer/flexible plastic and the rear is a hard poly-carbonate type plastic which offers good protection despite how slim this case really is. There are cut-outs for the Power/IR, 3.5mm jack, Micro USB, bottom & rear microphone and camera/LED flash. The case itself also provides a nice little lip on the front - it's not large enough to interfere with use of the phone though. It's basically enough of a lip that you can place the phone down on a flat surface and the screen won't be touching the surface directly.

RonM (Farmington Hills, Michigan): Totally fell apart, all four sides of the black trim have separated from the clear back. I had tried to glue it back together with epoxy but it did not hold. So it lasted a whole two and a half months or so since I purchased it. I will likely not try other SUPCASE products either. I upgraded to the Ballistic AP1132-A085 ASPIRA for HTC One S which is very sturdy and tossed the SUPCASE in the trash.

HTC Trophy 6985 Windows Phone Deal

Carolyn Crow : I lost my iPhone and was not eligible for a upgrade so I decided to get a cheaper phone from Amazon. Most of my complaints are about switching from an iPhone to a Windows phone. First, there are multiple apps that you can get on the iPhone that are not available on the Windows phone.

It just takes an extra step. Fifth, syncing with email is sometimes a bit slow.

Jemrtt "Nelly K" (Queens, Ny): I loved the 1st htc trophy that I purchased through my carrier so much, that when it came time to look for another phone...this is the phone I chose. The screen on my 1st was scratched up and there were water marks on the screen from dropping it in a puddle.
This was my phone time buying an electronic device from amazon. It was brand new. All the cords and accessories were in the box. After completing the mango update through Zune, I had my old phone back again!

I would definitely recommend this phone to those who want the reliability of Verizon's network without the 2 year leash and high cost. Just make sure you invest the extended battery as the standard battery it comes with WILL NOT last you through the day!

HTC Rhyme No Contract 3G WiFi Deal

PenPalMeHere: I got this phone when I started my contract with Verizon a little over a year ago. It's always had a protective case and a screen protector on it as I am a little OCD about my electronics. I've never dropped it on concrete, tile, in water or any other hard or damaging surfaces to cause it any harm - it's still in "like new" condition as far as looks. It was used moderately for phone calls, text and web browsing - never came close to reaching my minutes each month, sent 1,500 ish texts a month, and only used my browser when a computer wasn't readily available.

Alisa D. Combs "spoiled_1" (Ten Mile, TN United States): This is my 1st smartphone. So far I love it! It is a pretty light purple color. It comes with a notification charm which flashes when you get a call or text. It also comes with headphones and a charging dock that doubles as a speaker. It fits my hands perfectly. Has average battery life. You can make your own ringtones without downloading any apps. The only drawback is that it doesn't have FM radio but with an 8 GB SD card you can save plenty of music on it.

Apropos1 (seattle, wa): This phone initially had great reviews- however, having owned this phone for over a year, I can say it is the worst phone I have ever owned in my history of owning cell phones (which includes the old-timey flip phones). The reception is worse than terrible. What has frequently happened is that while calling, indoors or outdoors, if i accidentally cover any of the tiny holes on the back of the phone, the person on the end can no longer comprehend what i'm saying. When I change my finger placement it then improves. The speakers on the phone, no matter who i am talking to, are also horrendous. Even if the reception is fair, the speakers render your voice incomprehensible.

HTC One X with Beats Audio Deal

John: I used so many brands and models of phones and smartphones than I can remember, and this one here, except for the memory card thing, covers every hole that was in every other phone I used. It also covers any thing u may have thought of having in a phone, and it is doing that in style! I tried the Samsung Galaxy S3 at at&t before choosing the One x, and it really isn't better. I mean it is just about personal preferences, I always feel Samsung phones ( not all Samsung products, I love their TVs for example)have a cheap felling. Besides I liked how the One X looked more than the S3.

Juan ferrer (florida, usa): The HTC one x is truly an awesome super phone, It's really smooth and very speedy with no lags. the built quality is excellent, the camera is superb. the screen is really great has true colors and excellent viewing angles. and the tegra zone optimized games for tegra 3 are really awesome, excellent graphics the best for android when optimized with tegra 3. I am not to crazy about HTC sense kind of slows phone a bit sometimes, I added apex launcher and let me tell you this phone is super fast with this launcher. my previous phones iPhone 4s and Samsung galaxy note were great phones, but can't touch the HTC one x.

 Patricia : Fast forward 3 weeks. My husband has had the phone and it has worked for the most part. It did have some glitches with freezing up at times and taking a long time to finally ring when he tried to make a call. Wireless also would lock on to a network and wouldn't let go even after leaving that network area so he would have to manually turn wifi off to get it to connect to the mobile network.... Very aggravating for a $500 phone.

HTC Droid Eris Verizon Deal

C. Kanzenbach (Minneapolis, MN): I have had this phone for going on a year now. I would say it is a great phone for anyone who would like an android phone, but would not plan to overuse its features (lots of apps, running widgets 24/7, etc....). Becoming more android savvy, I am replacing mine with something with more oomph. I have been disappointed in how little android saves to the memory card and instead to the phone itself.

C. A. Hoffmann (Wisconsin): Five more months and I can get a new phone...I can't wait! At first, this phone ran fine. After about a year, it slowed down to a snail's pace. I'm not a heavy phone user and I only have a few apps. I don't use VZ navigate because the phone crashes before I can even type in my destination. The touch screen is a bit off and I've calibrated it recently - can't touch the letters/numbers I really want or else the letter/number next to it will appear on the screen. This makes for some painfully slow text messaging and with autocorrect on, I've sent a ton of messages with random words inserted.

Rebecca L. Zucker "Bex": I had a Palm and discovered that there are not a whole lot of apps available for it, so I wanted an Android phone instead. Found this one but was wary with the reviews saying how horrible battery life is and how slow it is, but I've had my phone for a month now and I have had no problems with it. I've used a Motorola Droid X before (my bf has one) and I don't think the Eris is any difference in speed of opening programs, etc, as that phone (except for angry birds, it won't work, but I got aggrevated at the game on the Palm so it's no skin off my nose).

Namelesz (USA) : This is NOT a product review (for these you need to use third-party review sites with objective data in each review), this is just a warning for potential customers. If you can buy it elsewhere - do so. HTC themselves sell a "developer edition" of this phone on their site, which has 64GB of storage and is fully unlocked and supports same GSM/LTE bands, for slightly more than Amazon's current price. If you do not need extra storage space - Google sells the HTC One with 32GB of storage, fully unlocked, running latest Android version (unlike what you will find on Amazon), for a cheaper price than Amazon has. Google's version does not include HTC Sense, Blinkfeed or any other custom HTC software BUT some people do not need this and you can always flash the Google's edition with a custom ROM which includes all of HTC's custom software, for free, without losing the warranty.

M. Huerta (London UK): I have Verizon (I know, I know, but I have the grandfathered in unlimited data plan). I bought this phone because I may be leaving to school in London, and my current (Verizon) phone is CDMA/LTE and I need a GSM. I tried activating online, but was informed I needed to call Customer Service. I was then informed that even though it is an unlocked GSM and LTE phone (according to the Amazon website), I can't use it because it does not have the Verizon operating system/bloatware. So now I have a phone that I can not use unless I do leave the country.

 I Just Shop Here (USA): Cell phone is the most popular electronic device nowadays, there are more than 320 millions of cell phones in U.S, even more than the population of U.S. How to choose a cell phone becomes a headache when people want to purchase a new one. Actually there are some criterion we can use for it, like hardware design and unique features ,battery life and camera performance . In my opinion, HTC One is the best cell phone so far because it perfectly match all the criterion .

HTC Droid Incredible 2 Deal

RatherLiveInKeyWest (Central Virginia): The replacement has been fantastic. Easy to use, great virtual keyboard/touchscreen alignment, plenty of pages to store apps on, and excellent battery life. Battery life was initially nothing to write home about, but I'd used the Easy Battery Saver app before and installed it pronto -- now the battery lasts an average of 2 to 2 1/4 days (usage depending of course). Out of the box I was probably just barely getting through the day.

Justin: For about the first year or so, I had absolutely no problems with anything; this phone was like my baby. But then, the usb charging port got loose or something and the phone refused to charge even when it said it was charging. I had to get a new one, free with the warranty, but still annoying and frustrating. As I'm writing this, my second one is dying while plugged into the charger. After some research, I found that this is a common issue with these phones. Being in college 4 hours from home I kind of need a sturdy phone. As soon as my 2 year contract is up I'm switching phones.

Charles "Charles" (COLUMBUS, OH, US): The actual phone itself, i have noticed, isnt very durable. The first few times it dropped or fell, even just a little bit of distance then phone became deeply scratched and dented. Not exactly sure what its made from, but quality isnt a strong feature. I bought a snap on case for this phone and its helped abit.

HTC C110E Radar Deal

Armin (USA): On the phone itself, the family member likes the phone after using it for 2 weeks. Good weight, good quality of materials and not too big. Unless you want a bigger screen, I would recommend this phone if you are in the market for a Windows Phone. The Samsungs felt a bit cheaper in plastic feel compared to this one. The Nokia Lumia 800 has a better screen, but this one wins IMHO on overall quality, weight in the hand and feel.

Gadgester "No Time, No Money" (Mother Earth): I got the T-Mobile version the day it came out on T-Mobile. Really love this phone. After iOs and Android, Mango is such a fresh yet intuitive system, and it's rock-solid. I've been using this phone non-stop (save for when I sleep) and it's never crashed, unlike my various Android devices. The phone itself is high-quality and stylish, and Mango runs fast on a 1GHz processor and just 386MB of RAM. The only hiccup I've experienced is when playing the HD Kinectimals game and even then it's only occasional and barely noticeable. (The slight hiccup may be due to the multi-tasking nature of Mango.) Mango has true multi-tasking but at this time pre-Mango apps (including some of Microsoft's own Xbox Live games) cannot take full advantage of it without being updated. I've found all the apps I wanted to have among the 38,000 apps currently available in Marketplace.

Niki312: The phone was okey but the charger/adaptor did not work for me. There were about 3-4 pieces which i believe was meant for the customer to put together but never worked out. Believed there was a piece broken because no matter how much i tried it kept falling apart. The (1) tiny screw was not playing any purpose coz it kept falling off. plugging it to the wall was a waste of time as the two small metal pieces would not hold on to the wall seemed to be too thin. All in all the phone was alright but i had to buy another charger.

HTC Inspire 4G Deal

Just a gyrl (IL USA): I have had this phone for 5 months, and it is by far the best phone I have ever had. I have owned a very many phones over a period of 17 years. Not only did I fall in love with android, but I fell in love with HTC. I was a little leary about getting a phone I knew nothing about, but I trusted my at&t sales rep and bought it. I have had almost no problems with it. I have way to many pictures and text messages on it and it causes it to freeze up sometimes but not much(which can be expected with so much space taken up). I usually just restart it and it is fine. Every so often I go through and delete things to give it a little bit of a break lol. I have never loved a phone as much as I love this one. I have dropped it on my ceramic tile in my kitchen and bathroom and it didn't even have so much as a scratch on it. I also dropped it on my concrete steps in my garage and again nothing happened to it.

R. Clarke: This phone does it all - almost. a great screen large enough to show movies with great definition. the camera and video camera both are great. The programs and applications offered are just amazing. my only wish was for more memory internally. the construction is great. Solidly built. If you don't mind the slightly extra weight then this is for you. On my belt, I dont feel it, but it starts to weigh in while holding it. not that this bothers me too much. My real complaint is the playback audio. Not that great. I would need to play with the settings some more to get what I want. WIth headphones no issues.

Marek Kowalski "K.Marek" (Tempe, AZ, USA) : This is not as much a fault of the cellphone as the seller Ross electronics. I bought the cellphone in july 11 2012 and in september it started acting up by not charging corectly. As it was after the 30 day return window with amazon i decided to use my one year warranty via HTC. However when i called them up they said the cellphones IMEI number had been activated as of september 2011. Meaning my Warranty expired in september 2012!!. They basically sold me a one year old USED phone. IT ended up with me returning the phone to amazon in september 3 Months after i purchased it for a full refund. So Amazon really protected me and trusted me with my problem.

HTC Freestyle F5151 Pd53100 Deal

 brain: I have gone through 3 replacements of this phone! It is NOT a good phone! When you get a text, it sends the same text at LEAST 2 times, the touch screen is okay, but after about a month it becomes laggy, the battery life is very bad, it heats up really fast! And for me, the first time I got the phone, about 2 months later, it wouldn't let me call people! I would press the dial pad and nothing would show up. Not a good phone! I am doing ou a favor...DO NOT GET IT!

Brie: Oh by the way ludicrous means humor. I don't think this even deserves one star.
Okay guys. Please do read this review, it will make a dramatic difference in whether you buy this piece of junk of not. I was so excited to be getting a new phone! Finally!I must admit, at first i was in love with this phone... untill these problems started occurring with in the next hour. I did not research on this phone, and read no reviews before i bought it... which was a HUGE mistake on my end. The only thing I knew when i purchased it was that it looked like a smartphone, except didn't have that data plan. Which made me purchase it. Little did i know that the HTC FREESTYLE IS A SORRY EXCUSE FOR A PHONE! Every single person who's ever wrote a bad review on this phone is entirely true. At least 10 times a day my phone freezes (and then i have to open up the battery compartments, and take the battery out to restart it... turning it off is not good enough. I am being truthful with you right now. When i send someone a text, several people have mentioned to me that i send them that same text at least 3 more times, and i receive the same message from people 5 at the most times. Meaning, when you send a text...

Stephanie (Somewhere in Indiana ;)): I got my HTC phone after At&t screwed me over with my smartphone and my data service's. unable to pay the money to getout of there damn contract i decided to dumb my phone down to a "basic" phone, and i must say i LOVE this phone. To me it is just like having a smartphone except i do not get the App market. but the internet is great on it, the music player works just like on my old HTC inspire. overall for $100 this phone isn't that bad. it actually reminds me of the original iphone.

HTC One Silver Deal

Stringzs : I got the HTC One yesterday from ATT, and it has blown me away. As background, I have been an Android fan and my wife is an iPhone fan. I currently have the S3 and my wife has an iPhone 5. I was waiting for the S4, but upon researching HTC One (CNet has a good review and comparison), I did not want to wait for the S4, and I am very happy with the decision. Ironically, I came upon the HTC name because I was researching the S4, and saw that Samsung pled guilty to hiring students in Taiwan to write negative reviews about HTC One. Strange but true.

Jason M. Stone "UX Designer" (Denver, CO USA) :Earlier this year, I jumped ship from Apple (the iPhone 5, specifically) to Samsung's Galaxy Note II. In the process, I also went from AT&T to a rival carrier offering unlimited data and slightly lower monthly bills. While I liked the Note II very much, the data speeds on the other carrier were so poor that, only four months later, I found myself willing to eat the very large early termination fee and switch back to AT&T (who I knew firsthand to have LTE in this market). Since I was switching carriers and had the option to get a new phone, I figured I might as well pick up the latest and greatest on the Android front. Plus it just happened to be release day.

 D. Miyao (San Diego) : Yes I am that Apple fanboy who used to wait in every line when every iteration of the iPhone was released. I have owned every iPhone from the very first one and have loved the design and software of every phone. Only recently did I become seriously interested in Android based phones again because of the Galaxy S4 and all of its cool features like preview without touching the screen or eye tracking. I have tried Android phones in the past as well as Windows 7 phones, and I never thought I would give them a shot again but Samsung's big marketing push peaked my interest.

HTC DROID INCREDIBLE Deal

Strbildr (hudson valley ny): htc droid incredible is a nice upgrade from the htc eris i used for two years, i like to buy the phones new out of contract once they become slightly outdated , they still work great but i don't pay full price or get locked in. so far the incredible has been very reliable and easy to use, battery life is just fine , i use the advanced app killer all the time. so far so good, i think one thing people fail to remember is that these are phones with small batteries that some ask to do the things of a laptop all day that has a battery 100x the size . realistic expectations are required and you will be satisfied with your smart phone.

B. Janusch (Phoenix, AZ USA): I pre-ordered this phone and got it the day it came out in April 2010. Since day one it has been a reliable phone that gets strong signal here in Phoenix. 21 months later I upgraded to a new dual-core, 4G phone only because I got the upgrade for free. I was more than ready to stay with my Incredible for even longer. The phone wasn't perfect and there were 2 clear downs to it. The first being the brightness of the screen. It was not very useful outside. This was common in all of the 1st generation AMOLED screens. Second, 3.7" is the absolute minimum screen size for a usable phone. The phone I switched to is 4.3" and there is a noticible difference. That said, the phone never gave me trouble. It could play all early generation games, was great on WiFi and 3G alike, and came with a sturdy Sense skin from HTC that I loved. On the extended battery I got an easy 18 hours of battery life, which was more than enough.

C. Kiefer (San Francisco) : This was my first "smart" phone, and I am really impressed how long it's lasted. Honestly, it looks and works exactly as it did two years ago. Sure, the screen gets fingerprints like all smartphones, but this phone seems to have a natural resistance to scratches. I've had no need to buy any extra protective accessories. The rubberized backside I'm sure is a major reason why I rarely drop it. Also, it is one of the few smartphones these days that still fits comfortably in one's pocket (measures 2-1/4" x 4-5/8").

HTC ThunderBolt 4G LTE Deal

Yashas Joshi (Boston, MA): I have been using HTC Thunderbolt since April 2011 and it is definitely THE King of Smartphones. I had a choice between Thunderbolt and iPhone and finally decided to purchase the Thunderbolt running on the Verizon 4GLTE network. Just a quick note here, Verizon's 4GLTE network is definitely super fast and data transfer, videos, music streaming is smooth with absolutely no buffering. Here are some of the Pros and Cons of HTC Thunderbolt

Rocman (Durham, NC United States): Screen size AND aspect ratio - the 4.3" screen was big when this phone came out one year ago in July '11. At the time, I thought this was going to be the physical limit on smartphone screen sizes - boy was I wrong haha The resolution is 800x480, which is low by today's standard, but this was the highest resolution available on the android side at the time of this phone's launch. One thing I've come to love is the screen's aspect ratio. This phone has very thin bezels framing the screen. I simply love this. Compared to the a same size 4.3" 720P phone (ex. Rezound), the Thunderbolt's screen is noticeably wider and negligibly shorter. This makes for a much more useful screen in everyday use, such as Google map, browsing, etc. The Rezound's 720P screen, which by the way is gorgeous and has even higher pixel density than the "retina display" on the iphone 4s, shows you less content except with movies and videos, where its 16:9 ratio minimizes black bars. Honestly though, I don't watch much video on my phone, and I prefer to see more in things like Google map versus less black bar while watching video.

Robert K.: Then came Android 4.0 at the end of year two, I had been waiting for it with great anticipation. ANDROID 4.0 DESTROYED THE PHONE! REPEAT, DESTROYED THE PHONE! It looked cool at first but by now I was at the end of my contract and I noticed that the phone was getting slower and slower. Then the power button stopped working, so I couldnt cut the phone off or on, I could not wake the phone when it went to sleep either. So I downloaded a app called just flip (free) and it solved that problem, but by then the phone was creeping so slow it was practically unusable, it started making errors like crazy. I would try to make a call and it would dial two numbers at the same time, one that I dialed and one that it dialed, and guess what? my call was always the one to go on hold.

HTC T320e One V Deal

Timothy G. Parrish "Knowlegde Pimp" (Piedmont, SC) : By comparison it is compact. It's relatively smaller than most smartphones, which is the main reason I purchased it (I need to use the phone for business purposes and I didn't want to tote around a large phone that would be damaged easily or be expensive to replace). It is very well built. The housing is metal and it has withstood a few short drops on concrete floors without a scratch.

WarmInWinter: The downside is all the technical problems it now has. It's been in for repair twice and so far the issues are still there. The screen started to go nuts with 'phantom' finger touches, as if someone were jabbing at the screen at random moments, opening apps, closing screens, doing whatever. After two 'repairs' it now has the opposite issue, where the screen won't respond at all to any touch and I have to restart it often in the hopes it will reset enough to work for awhile before it goes catatonic again.

Jared: I love this little guy. Yeah it's not the fastest or the latest and greatest but it does perform really well. I use straight talk w it and sometimes att works great. I LOVE the design just beautiful for the price point. I like this phone much better than HTC one x. The battery life is fantastic lasting all day with moderate to heavy use. Call quality is clear and loud. It's running ICS right out of the box and I can make this phone into a hot spot. Love being able to expand my memory.
Cons are few. If you buy unlock expect the European charger with an adapter. The phone is a little slow since it uses a single. No front facing camera but it does have a pretty good 5 mega pixel camera. Stock keyboard is terrible but any third party app you can fix that. Don't recommend live wall paper, slows down phone.

HTC X310E Titan Deal

Biswa: I had been using the Samsung Focus, a terrific Windows Phone, and decided to get the HTC Titan with its larger display and faster processor. I was not disappointed by either the screen or the speed. The battery life is better than the Focus too, but of course it's a year later and the Focus S is about to come out. On the downside, the large size makes it difficult to hit the back button one-handed and it's quite a bit heavier than the Focus.

 Pablo: Changing from the iPhone 3GS to the Titan was like getting my first color screen nokia 10 years ago. It is a game changer. This phone and OS is AMAZING. Really, it is more like a computer that just happens to have a phone in it. They really thought of just about everything when designing this device. Once the OS starts catching on, Apple and Droid better watch out.

Anthony J Zoffoli (Worlington, UK): The phone is branded by at&t, it's not fully unlocked...
The did sent me an unlock code for sim unlocking , but I have to input the code after every restart of the device.
I allready gave a negative feedback but they asked from me to remove it so that they can sent me the unlock code. (1 minute after the removal of the negative feedback, I had mail with th unlock code...) .
Now I can't change the radio version - cause it's locked to 16.x.x.x. - and this gives me bad signal and bad call quality...
also I can't install any other language - only english - not even with cab sender.

Sprint HTC Evo 4g Deal

35-year Technology Consumer "8-tracks to 802.11" (Mid Atlantic, USA): Don't move to a smart phone without some research into these choices. Which provider? Which mobile operating system? Who can offer me the best service, or the best combination of value and service? The rest of this review assumes you've already figured out why a phone with the Android operating system might be a better choice for you than an iPhone, a Blackberry or a Windows-based smart phone solution...

Harkanwar Anand (New York, New York) : 1. The browsing is excellent, the downloading is quick, the web pages load in seconds and even on 3G the phone is super fast, I have never switched on the 4G for more than an hour and feel it should only be done when you're downloading a very big file. You may wonder what the purpose of 4G is, so well, although the 4G function is there, this phone is faster than any 3G phones available on the network by a mile (Hero, Moment, Optimus S to name a few) So the browsing is excellent.
2. I used GPS once while trying to locate a bar a friend of mine was at in downtown. Anyone who's been to downtown manhattan knows what a headache directions are there but using this I got there just in time. Yes, it takes a bit of getting used to and yes if you forget to switch the GPS off, the phone is going to complain and be really hot.

Hunter (Hawaii): Bad: I purchased this phone from Amazon, thinking I would get a new phone... it isn't. Upon my activation, I typed the MSID from inside my phone and Sprint couldn't activate it. Upon talking with customer service, she had me find a different MSID in the phone's software settings. She said the mis-match is often caused by different phone parts that are assembled during the refurbishing process. Amazon should look at this vendor for its product misrepresentation. This phone should have been properly labeled as a refurbished product. If I had known it was refurbished, I don't think I would have purchased it.

HTC A9192 Inspire 4G Deal

Robert : I had read all the negative reviews for this phone but the good ones out weighed the bad so I decided to give it a go. The unit I was sent was defective out of the box and I remembered all the people advising against it. I contacted amazon and they immediately sent out a new phone and gave me a ups label to return the defective one @ no extra cost. The second phone has been working perfectly and amazon's superior customer service took some of the sting off of getting a non working unit the first time. On an additional note, all those warnings of poor battery life, I've gotten the battery so far to go 36 to 40 hours btwn charges. over all it has been worth the price, just be sure to buy from amazon directly as you will then have the their guaranty backing you up.

BlackStrike=-: Overall I am very pleased with this phone. I purchased an HTC phone because I had the HTC Incredible and loved it and I wanted to stay with the same user interface. The only reason I purchased a new phone is that I am leaving Verizon and going to Straight Talk and they require a GSM phone.There have been some reviews indicating that this phone does not work with prepaid carriers but my experience setting this up with Straight Talk has been flawless. You just need to make sure that you purchase an ATT SIM card from Straight Talk's website (Straight Talk uses ATT's towers for this and most other phones). And overall I am also very pleased with Straight Talk both on price and coverage.

 Boiler98: I have also read some reviews, both on Amazon and other websites, that indicate the HTC Inspire has poor reception. At first I thought the same thing. But then I realized that the antenna for this phone is actually part of the SIM card cover. I don't know why they did this but if you are having reception issues make sure that the SIM card cover (bottom of phone) is securely and tightly fitted onto the phone. In addition you may need to clean the 2 copper electrodes on the cover and the phone to ensure that you have a good connection.
