Many appreciate its water resistance and the range of features it offers. However, some users express dissatisfaction with the pre-installed apps and the charging port cover. The phone's positive aspects appear to outweigh the negative for most customers.

    This is a very good phone. However, I wish it were just a little bit smaller to fit in my hand.

    They should supply an instruction booklet. At least one to tell you what all the symbols mean

    Switched from I-phone 4S. Love the free music downloads. Video display is awesome. The only negative at this point is the inability to use i-message.
