- Available storage is less due to phone software.
- Network bands in regions other than Europe and Asia Pacific may be different, depending on the mobile operator and your location. Upload and download speeds also depend on the mobile operator.
Battery times (talk time, standby time, and more) are subject to network and phone usage.
A Standby time specification ("specification") is an industry standard that is only intended to allow comparison of different mobile devices under the same circumstances. Power consumption in a standby state is strongly dependent on factors including but not limited to network, settings, location, movement, signal strength and cell traffic . Comparisons of different mobile devices using such a specification can therefore only be done in a controlled laboratory environment . When using any mobile device in real life circumstances for which the mobile device is intended, the standby time could be considerably lower and will be strongly dependent on the factors as mentioned above.
Note: Specifications are subject to change without prior notice

Rated 3 out of 5 by Xmackdab An OK phone
The main reason I bought this phone because it was the cheapest windows 8 phone when it came out. After almost 3 months of use; the rubberized skin on the upper corner started to peel-off; internal memory was all used up. And when I'm browsing pages or watching videos online, it would occasionally go back to the home screen and erase the session completely. So, did I regret buying this phone? Not really. It is still a windows 8 which I oh so dearly like. Should HTC PH allow me to trade this in for a 8x then that would be great.

Rated 3 out of 5 by freeman1902 Just bought one.
I bought this phone yesterday. Its satisfying overall, the only thing that upsets me is that i cant use it as a USB Modem as my old Symbian Nokia 5630. I appreciate the hotspot functionality but that only works with PC's that have WLAN, i wish in a future update, the posibility to use it as a simple modem will be implemented, its not a big effort. Also some battery life optimizations are very welcome, as the battery can last longer given its 1,7Ah capacity. Best of wishes, this is my first HTC product, hope i won't be let down.

Rated 4 out of 5 by DesireXAwesome Good phone
It's a good phone but it has no NFC. But it's still a good mid-range phone if you are looking for a Windows Phone 8 device with tons of features that is 4inches.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Vandan Great Phone!
This is a Awesome Phone!
It has a Amazing Screen for its Cheap Price!
The Camera Included is also Above-Expectations!
I really Recommend this Phone if You are Looking for a Mid-Ranged Light, Portable and Sleek Phone.
This is a Absolute Power-House! With a Dual-Core 1Ghz Snapdragon S4 Processor and Beats Audio Integration Removes the Need of a External Speaker!
The Web Experience for Splendid their is a Noticible Change from the Windows Phone 7 Browser. The HTML 5 Support Fully Works and is Quite Remarkable.
But I Must Criticize the Lack of Storage on this Phone with only 1.5gb usable there is a Need for external Memory to be Brought. Also It Lacks NFC. The Camera is Pretty Good but I have seen Better.
If you want a Phone with a Seductive Screen and Outstanding Aesthetics and a Sleek, Ergonomic Option.
This is the Way to Go!
Also a Great option for Developers!

Rated 4 out of 5 by LittleJerryS Overall satisfied with my Windows Purchase
I was overall pleased with my recent Smartphone purchase. Here are some cons and pro i myself thought of after using this phone
Pros:
- Very fairly priced, not too expensive or too cheap
- Camera is slightly above average at 5mgp
- Appeal is great, very sleek look, fits nicely in the palm
- screen dimension are sizeable, and display is great
- Facebook sync into contacts is a very neat feature
- Beats audio is amazing, i would honestly recomend this
phone solely for its beats audio, very crisp clear sound
- Proccesor is very good, about average
- The micro SD card feature is very useful, i am able to store up to 16gb more data becasue of it
Cons:
- Battery life could be a little longer, i always find the need to recharge this phone
- The xbox application and games store is slightly limited
- Without the micro SD card the phone is slightly lacking in terms of storage. Without the MIcro SD, i would only be able to download a few good application, games, and some music
- Some of the apps and games are greatly overprice ( my opinion)
