Good except the battery

Phone owned for less than a year

My sister gave this phone as a gift which i am using more than a couple of months. This is really a very good phone except the battery. It also lack the front camera. The internet speed and facilities are very good in my area.
The internal memory is 8 GB which is long enough to store the media files. It also offers a 32 GB external memory. Its really great!! I enjoy with it :-)

I've never seen a camera on a phone as good as this one, despite it's 2MP, but the quality is astonishing. The build quality is very good but the material of the front door of the phone will get damaged in time.

love this phone and i would reccomend it to anyone who texts/emails a lot because the keyboard is amazing!! It does lag but not to the point that it becomes a huge nuisance and also you have to be careful with the battery, if you have a lot of apps running the battery will drain insanely fast!! overall, it is a great phone :)
