Awesome Device! Got this device for Christmas and had no problems what so ever! Love the device, would recommend this to anyone switching to windows phone, bearing in mind i've used iOS and Android before. Many lovely features, good performance, great camera, easy to use, light, easy to hold, if you are looking for a great smartphone, look no further! February 15, 2013
Good htc bad software. Htc's effort on the hardware of this phone is great. However the 'other' section under the phones storage constantly grows an grows for no apparent reason. Without installing any extra apps etc it grows until it fills your phone. People are upset their having to reset their phone often. February 18, 2013
If only If only you hadn't introduced the very flawed idea of just including 4GB or memory. I assumed that the expansion slot would resolve this but the software doesn't allow apps to run from the SD card nor can you move the cache folder (also known as "other) to the SD card. The only way to clear the cache is by doing a hard reset with all associated work such as backing up and restoring from back up only to find that start screen doesn't get backed up and so have to start organising that again... I just had to do that as the 1.15GB "other" took up meant couldn't do the OS upgrade :-( All-in-all, a simple upgrade took me hours to complete!!!!! This makes the phone unworkable for any normal smart-phone use that is not very technical! If I was I would have bought an Android... Unless using solely for calls and texting - DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!!!!! March 26, 2013
512mb ram and no memory No memory for apps cant store apps on memory card and if you have less than 1gb ram the good apps dont work this as 512mb ram waste of money. wish i knew this before buying this product. February 27, 2013
Good Windows phone on a budget Beautifully designed, fantastic screen size and good graphics. Perhaps not as incredible as higher-end handsets but great for teenagers, etc. Windows 8 has a way to go, but its already far better in design than Android and in my opinion, sleeker than iOS. Bummers: screen has tendency to scratch- get a protector!; can get a little slow due to smallish RAM; not amazing app selection, but is improving every day. February 3, 2013
A good all round phone but far from perfect Windows phone 8 is very nice to use and with Skydrive, I am able to sync all my computer documents with my phone and even edit them with the built in microsoft office. My only problem with the phone is the apps; the store is not as well stocked as other operating systems stores and then when you do download them you can't store them, the phone only comes with 4gb internal memory and then when you do put in an external memory card you are unable to store apps on it which is a bit of a letdown really.

Terrible phone - avoid! Low storage, very very difficult to use micro SD card. Coming from a HTC with android this is a very frustrating and disappointing phone. February 15, 2013
Excellent phone This is a lovely phone and suits my needs perfectly. I would imagine if you are a big apps/internet user then you might want to try a different phone. However, texting is what I use the most and the facility to enlarge the font is a great asset. Had to phone HTC customer support recently and the agent was excellent. He solved my issue and I would have no hesitation contacting again. March 12, 2013
