Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Great budget phone with him a great camera.
I like the Windows Phone and would recommend this one to anyone who wants to have a good service device for a budget price. I give 5 stars for the phone, but nearly 3 for the purchase process and the box, my phone was delivered. It looks like someone returned this item, it was placed in the not original box and sent to me. Big no no for me to order the same way from Best Buy.
