5.0 out of 5 stars Great Phone, September 10, 2011

I am working on a project and I needed an Android phone that I could take apart in pieces.I bought this phone because it was cheap, and lets be honest, it looks like is worth less than the price.

Anyways, I got a prepaid plan with T-mobile just to get it going and in my way home I started playing with it and I was kind of impressed with its functionality. It was fast (no lag) and it had all the functionality of any android phone. By the time I got home, I had already played with the GPS, the back flick pad, online downloading (3G speed max) and the FM radio (YES, it has an FM radio with great quality [you need earphones, thou]). I was like holly poop, this phone is awesome! Not only that, I went to a friend house across the border in Mexico where there is no T-mobile signal. I connected my phone to his Wi-fi and there is an app in (already installed in the phone) that lets me use my T-mobile phone through the internet (I think this is a T-mobile exclusive app, but not sure)... I was like "DAMN! I can call and receive calls even with no signal." Another thing that I thought was going to be a problem is the screen size. It looks like the keyboard overwhelms the screen, but it actually helps a lot because it does not take screen size when you need to type. It is BIG plus right there.

So now I feel like I'm going to cry a little when I break this phone apart... but I think I will get another one of these :)

Highly recommended phone, it looks better in person than in the picture and is very functional and "CHEAP"

Notes: Although I buy most of my online merchandise from Amazon, I did not purchase this phone here.
My actual carrier is T-mobile, there are other reviews complaining that this phone has bugs when using with other carriers. If your carrier is not T-mobile, read the other reviews first.

If you don't live in USA, don't worry, it's very easy to activate this phone anywhere in the world. You can activate it by two ways:

1) Using Wi-Fi. You must create motoblur account (by Wi-Fi or by online) and than sign in using Wi-Fi. Also you will need google account.

2) After turning on the phone you must enter this code: [ALT], E, [ALT], E, B, L, U, R, O, F, F and the phone will start working without motoblur account.

Not heavy at all, wifi included and a very nice qwerty keyboard besides its touchscreen. In addition to that it was very cheap compared to similar cell phones
