great inexpensive no-contract smartphone
We've had this smartphone for a few weeks now and it's proven to be very good. I bought it for my middle-school aged daughter to use strictly as a type of "iPod touch" (Wi-Fi usage only, not activating the phone aspect). She already has her own iPad and isn't ready for a cellphone/smartphone yet, but we wanted to get her something small and portable (and cheap!) as well. This fit the bill. With sales and discount specials, this ended up being only $25.00. It has a fairly large screen (almost 5 inches) and the internals are pretty good for the price--quad core processor, 1 gig RAM. And it's not some no-name brand, either. We've previously had HTC smartphones in the past so we knew it was a reliable brand. It runs pretty smoothly, fast, and the intuitiveness of the touchscreen is quite good as well. For the price (regular price is $100) obviously I don't expect it to run and respond as well as my iPhone 6 Plus (regular price $849). The only negative is that it only comes with 4 gigs of storage, which is used up quite quickly. But it does have expandable storage, so I just picked up a 16 gig microSD card on sale for $6.00 and we're good to go. This is a great starter smartphone for kids, or for anyone who would like a cheap MP3 player or off-contract smartphone just to use on Wi-Fi. My daughters also use it to stream music from Amazon and videos from Netflix and YouTube and have had no problems. The camera isn't really good, though--I wouldn't rely on it for picture taking, that's for sure. But for everything we want to use it for, it's been excellent.

I love this phone because it's big screen, light weight, and user-friendly. Only bad is the camera is no good.

Great phone for the price!!!!
I bought this phone for 14 years old daughter. She truly loves this for the wide screen and easy typing. It would be perfect if the camera quality was better.
