  1. Available storage is less due to phone software.
  2. 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.
  3. 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 3.4 out of 5 by 100 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by 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. March 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by 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! December 22, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Great Phone Only have the phone two days and i love it , probably the best phone i ever had and i had alot !! Going to be hard to beat. December 28, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Not as smart as other smart phones Where is the turn-by-turn gps navigation? It's 2013 people! Plus, why do the labels for contact's phone numbers/emails not change when I select a new one? They revert to the label the contact has selected on Facebook etc. Definitely expected a better user experience! January 15, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Disappointing Looks I believed that the people behind this Phone spent lot of time-energy-resources. But This is only a nice looking phone, nothing more. 1. 4gb Internal Memory? It can easily be consumed by few apps, worse you cannot use SD on other files than MUSIC, PHOTOS & VIDEOs (If you have lot of files downloaded from your email the internal mem will be full. How can you use cloud when your offline?!). 2. Fewer apps 3. Music Experience - There is no Equalizer - Flat on other Headset 3. Waste of money January 16, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by SD-card problem When You repair that sd-card problem (can`t install apps to sd-card)? How long do I have to wait? Really I must bring back to the shop that phone? January 16, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 4GB (1.5Gb- Actually) Can't install one app on it - like navigation Hello everyone.. I don't know if these reviews can make a really feedback for this respective company.. If you want the truth this device has a very big problem wich you have to give the customers money back , please don't tell me that it is microsoft problem , they don't allow apps to be installed on SD card, simply you know this why make a device like sorry for bad english January 16, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by SD-card Now I contacted with HTC and they said that this isn`t bug. Only movies, music and photos can install to sd-card. Bad product, HTC! Bad! I bring back to shop this phone! January 18, 2013
