This is a great phone if you can get the SIM card issue sorted out (which seems to be a sporadic issue anyhow, not everyone's experiencing it) - it works great overall, the battery life is better than expected,
phenomenal display (let's just say it'll silence any smug Retina/Apple fan boys in the room), great camera incl. video (few phones allow you to zoom in while shooting HD video, this one does), solid sound w/Beats Audio, blazing fast, and the looks+form factor have raised the bar considerably (looks and feels light years better than anything Samsung has put out i.e., no cheap plasticky w/chrome feel)...can't tell you how many people borrow my phone for something and then give it a second look or a once-over once they hold it in their hand while I grin like a proud papa! :biggrin: Only thing that's preventing this phone from climbing to the top of the smartphone heap is the limited memory with no expansion option, and limited battery that will need a daily charge (once a day for me, moderate user) or more for heavy users. The plastic mini-USB cover is a non-issue considering how many people were howling about it when the phone first came out - with minimal skill you'll get used to opening and closing it to charge, or even better, keep that sucker shut and pony up for a wireless charging pad...take that Apple!
