    For Price, Can't go Wrong

    This phone is a ridiculously good deal. I bought this for 40 dollars. That's cheap - cheap for any android phone. Don't expect it to be a galaxy S-500 or whatever! It works well. The charging port is plagued with inconsistent connections like the previous ZTE phone I owned two of. I think this is a design weakness with ZTE. It is relatively slow loading the screens and the RAM fills up quick compared to 600 dollar phones of course. It's a 40 dollar phone and seriously awesome for that cheap price. Can't complain. It will do anything you need an android phone to do at a burner price and it has a very good camera. There's nothing to b***ch about with the phone at that price point. Like you get an Audi for Ford price - no.

    I purchased this phone as a temporary replacement until my phone return from being repaired. I'm used to high end phones so I was surprised to see that this phone had a lot of the same features, was very easy to use and still had good quality. It is a great value for what you get at $40 when I purchased it. The camera did well too. Not good for motion shot just stills, but took good shots. Overall, I will be glad to have it if something ever happens to my everyday phone

    I love this phone and I'm still learning what it can do. I needed a smart phone and this is my first choice because of the price, ease of use and plans available. Having the Internet always at my fingertips is a plus. I can do voice activated calls and put apps on my phone. It' has the added plus of excepting a micro SD HC memory card. This phone lets me check my email and FB. It's screen is just big enough to see my games like word trick and candy crush soda.

    This is the second one we bought. The first one stopped working after taking a minor fall, and of course that was the one time we didn't purchase Geek Squad protection, but a few weeks later the phone went on sale and we bought another one to replace it. Overall, it's a good phone for the price.

    Perhaps this phone would not satisfy a techie, but it does everything I need it to do. It is so far superior to the Samsung Replenish it replaced, especially with battery life and antenna sensitivity. Fairly intuitive to use. For $39, it is hard to beat.

    I don't think you can beat this for the price. I got it for $40 and it is relatively quick phone. I know there're better phones out there but this phone is perfectly acceptable.

    It has a slow processor, a mediocre camera and a low-res screen that can be unresponsive to the touch.but The ZTE Speed is compact, comfortable to hold and comes at a bargain prepaid price.

    Good Phone For The Price

    Given the price I paid for this phone, its very good. The phone has a fast quad-core processor and 1GB of RAM and 8GB of build in storage. The only minor draw back is the screen seems to be a little washed out, but given the price I paid its not a big deal.

    I didn't keep this phone in my procession that long for my daughter. I only brought this phone because another phone type was out of stock. I can say that the price on this phone is reasonable... I found a good deal by picking this phone.

    This phone was reduced from $99 to $39, so I decided to try it because I wanted to get a 4G phone and this was a great price. The ZTE speed turned out to be better than I thought even though I depise phones with on screen keyboards. If I had the money, I'd get a note with the pen so I could ensure i'd hit the right keys/buttons on screen but this phone as many others has an auto correct feature that you have to watch from time to time but its does pretty good and what's nice also is that it remembers previous words you've used in text conversation. A nice phone for the money. Pleasantly surprised.

    I purchased a different pre-paid phone before this one and it would not activate. I even had the Best Buy employee try on a second phone (it was a Virgin Mobile). I gave up and got this one instead and it was instantly available with no fuss. The reception is actually really good and it's a decent phone for the money. Well worth it!
