Ok phone but better ones for same price
Carrier: Boost
The phone has a beautiful screen. Its fast. Takes ok pictures.
The worst part is the memory.
Even though it has a spot for an sd card you CANT put any apps on it. It only holds pictures and music. I even verified that with the manufacturer.

Videos are great...the rest not so much
Carrier: Boost
By far the best feature of this phone is the cool screen. Its great for watching videos and surfing the web plus great battery time.
However for me that is where the party stopped. Within days of having the sharp aquos crystal I noticed terrible lagging when trying to text or email. By lagging I mean typing the keypad and having a two second delay for it to respond to each letter pressed. Extremely frustrating. I tried restarting the phone and even a factory wipe but the lag always came back. Overall, I got rid of it after 2 months because of the poor voice quality and the lagging just bothered me too much.
Pros: Great video quality, cool screen, excellent battery time, fast web.
Con's: Lagging while texting, poor camera quality, poor voice quality
