Sometimes cheap just isnt worth it.,
04/30/2021
FIRST OF ALL, THE TIRES ARE FINE. It's the ridiculous nightmare you have to go through getting them out on thats not worth the cheap price. After waiting 2 hours the first time, only to have them crush a TPMS sensor, I had to buy another from Toyota, bring it back a week later in my own time, and wait another 2 hours now for them to replace it and rebalance the tires - guess the tech looking through the old weights bucket wasnt a good idea ( I watched him do it). Now Im watching all the techs watch videos on one guys phone while cars pile up and people continue to wait. Saving $50 just isn't worth 4 hours of my time watching incompetence.

Not a bad phone,
09/12/2013
Moved over from Virgin Mobile (sprint) 3G when my LG phone started to act strange. Was wondering about the whole Windows operating system, but at $99 for a 4G phone, and the fact that I'm not a heavy app user, figured I give it a try. Here are some observations:
The phone itself is pretty good, if not a bit odd-sized (it's just a hair too big to fit in the 95% of phone cases that are already out there). Operating system is OK - Microsoft needs to work a bit on convenience features. I need faster access to airplane mode (android lets you just push and hold the power button). Widgets need work but there are a few apps to help out. Power button (wake up) on the side is a bit strange. "LIVE" tiles are not really live. Fastest you can have them update is 15 minutes - that is, it checks for email from your server every 15 minutes - it's not a "live" push. Background and text display is nice and crisp, but a little plain. Phone manages power very well. If you don't do anything with it, it uses only 5-7% battery over a day in standby. The 4G is wow-fast and is worth the upgrade if your area has 4G service.
All in all, good phone. The big knock on Windows phones is the app store is not near as big as Apple or Android. That's true, but there's also not 3,492 flashlight apps either. Not as big, but there's more than likely an app that will fit your needs. The Windows OS takes a little getting used to, but I'm happy with the phone so far.
