Review from iphone owner switching to Android for the first time

Wow is all I can say. I have gone to the dark side as i have been an iPhone guy and this is my very first Android. I broke the screen on my iPhone 6s and since it took a few days to get it repaired, I went ahead and ordered this phone. Since Amazon is great with returns, and offered 1 day shipping, I decided to try it out, knowing, that if the phone was significantly inferior to what I'm used to, I could always return it for a refund. When I turned the phone on, it guided me through getting all of my contacts from my iPhone. It was super simple. I just downloaded Google drive, backed up the information, and then when I signed in with this phone, it automatically loaded up into the new phone. I was also able to get every one of the apps I love loaded on this phone without issues. From the home screen you can just use the search bar to search for your app and it automatically loads it up for you. I wasn't expecting much, but was blown away that the phone is so capable when compared to an iphone. I noticed that some reviews mentioned that their phones were hot when charging. If you experience this I would recommend exchanging the phone as this may be a defect. Mine stays cool to the touch and has never felt hot.

Here are some pros
1. The screen is bright and clear. I held it side by side with my iPhone and the picture was very comparable.
2. The size is great. This phone is just slightly larger than the iPhone 6s but the screen is way bigger. I was concerned that it would be a phablet, but rest assured it is not. The screen just goes almost to the edges so there is no wasted space.
3. The speed is great and internet pages load up right away. Idid some speed tests with my iPhone 6s when I got it back (changed the battery as well why they had it open) to see if there was a difference. When I turned on both phones at the same time, the iphone's home screen came up about a 1/2 second sooner. The same thing happened with every app I opened, the 6s was a hair faster. Not enough of a difference to justify paying 2 to 3 times more for an iPhone, Especially when you consider that the screen on the Moto is much bigger.
4. It charges pretty fast and has double the storage of the stock iPhone 6s. Also, it integrates seemelessly with Google drive. I'm not exactly sure how this is possible, but after loading all the apps pictures, and contacts, the phone was still showing 23gb of space while my 16gb iPhone showed only 400mb of space available.
5. I didn't have to load up Google maps because it was already preloaded.
6. Very affordable and solid.

Cons from iPhone owner's perspective
1. Does not communicate with my Apple watch or Apple TV.
2. Ths volume is lower than the iPhone. This is not an issue during normal conversations, but if talking while in a noisy area using the phone, it may be noticeable.
3. You'll have to get a bunch of new charging cables. I probably have about 8 lightning ones around the house, cars, and work that will no longer be of any use.
4. I wasn't able to download my videos that I had purchased through apple. However, I was able to convert my songs without much of an issue.

Taking everything into account, I'm extatic with the purchase. I can buy phones for the whole family for the cost of one iPhone. I included a side by side with my iPhone so that you can see how close in size it is to the iPhone 6s, while having a much larger screen

In conclusion, I loved my experience with iphone's. If I could get an iPhone at the same price as this phone, I would hands down, take the iPhone. However after trying this phone out, there is no possible way that I can continue justifying paying 2 to 3 times more for an iPhone. At least for me, it's not enough of an upgrade over this phone, especially after verifying that I will still have access to all of my apps.

Definitely one of the best mid-range Android phones of 2018!

Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2018

Color: BlackSize: 32 GB Storage + 3 GB RAMVerified Purchase

I bought this because I needed a new device to hold me over until the 2019 flagship phones get released. This is my first Motorola, I didn't love the design of the G5/5s/5s+ because of the plastic back and the large oval finger print scanner. But this year's version is much nicer looking with the glass back, smaller fingerprint scanner, and 18:9 aspect ratio.

I wish Motorola would have released the G6 Plus in the US, because I would've liked to have had a faster processor (Snapdragon 630 on G6 plus vs the Snapdragon 450 on G6). That being said, this phone is really snappy. I use my phone quite a lot, usually bouncing in between 3 or 4 apps at once and this phone really performs. It's impressive to me that you can buy such a good device for $250. I believe that for the most part, a good mid-range phone like the G6 is equal to a flagship device from a few years ago. My other phone is a Galaxy S7 and it's not noticeably faster than the Motorola.

The camera is decent, it's good for capturing daytime shots. In places that aren't well lit, the images are not as good. The camera app has a lot of cool options and different features that you can have fun with. There is some shutter lag, which I don't like. This phone does have dual rear facing cameras (12MP+5MP with f/1.8 and f/2.2) but the secondary sensor is ONLY for portrait mode. That allows you to blur the background when you take a picture of something, so that the main object (usually a person) will be in focus but the background will be blurry. A bokeh effect. It can record video up to 1080p@60fps.
The front facing selfie is 8MP f/2.2 and has it's own flash! This one can do 1080p@30fps.

Some other key differences from higher priced phones is this guy has no wireless charging, no NFC for mobile payments, and it's not waterproof. It has a P2i nano coating that is supposed to allow for some slight splash resistance, but it's definitely not IP68 certified. However, I'd like to point out that this is common among phones in this price range.

It does have fast charging AND a USB C port! It also has expandable storage using micro SD up to 256 GB. The display is a 5.7 inch 1080x2160 IPS LCD and looks great. The speaker gets really loud, but they use the earpiece at the top of the phone as the main and only speaker, but whatever, it sounds ok. Also has the standard 3.5mm headphone jack. Bluetooth 4.2, mobile hotspot, WiFi direct, and dual band 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi.
But doesn't support 802.11 ac, which is unfortunate.

The G6 runs Android Oreo 8.0 out of the box.
The software is light, which I really like, the changes that Motorola has made are really useful, and their version is really similar to a pixel or nexus phone. I really like the gesture navigation, the fingerprint scanner doubles as a capacitive touch button, so it can be used for screen navigation. Swipe left to go back, tap for home, swipe right for recent app screen. I think it's great. The other really nice feature is Moto gestures- a double karate chop movement turns on the flashlight, a screen twist opens the camera app. It has a kind of always on display, where it shows the time and battery level. You can reply to texts without unlocking the phone. I wish I could put some of these features on my non-motorola devices!

I'm so happy that this phone turned out to be as good as my research suggested. I would highly recommend this phone to anyone who wants a new Android phone and can't afford the $800+ cost of a new Samsung, Pixel, or LG and don't want to roll the dice on a refurbished phone. You will be glad you did.

Update- 4 months later and this phone is still working perfectly. I was looking through the reviews and noticed a lot of negative 1 star reviews. There is one where the reviewer is complaining about a purple screen. If you turn on "developer options", there is a "show layout bound options" toggle. That is definitely what happened to that G6, and could have been reversed with one tap. As for all the bad reviews about connectivity, I have had no problems with bluetooth. I use a pair of BT headphones at my job every single day, and never get bad reception or a dropped connection. Wifi works fine with no problems. I haven't seen any evidence of texts or calls not getting sent through to the phone. I have noticed when I'm home and on the mobile network, I will have a Hspa+ connection (4G), instead of a faster LTE connection that I normally get with my samsung. But that is the only issue and 99% of the time I have an LTE connection in the appropriate places.

Amazon DOES NOT sell used phones passed off as new ones, even if third parties on the site do, this is a "shipped from and sold by Amazon" device.

I still stand by my 5 star review and am happy I decided to buy it. Motorola has been relatively consistent with the security patches. Battery is great, 5-6hrs of screen on time. Charges up fully in about 45 minutes.

TLDR- This is a great phone and well worth $250. I LOVE my G6 and that's why I took the time to write a long review. I want people to know that they can get this phone and shouldn't worry about the bad reviews being true. Some people are clumsy and others are ignorant, unfortunately both those types of people love to write reviews.

Excellent Battery, Fast Charging, Great camera!

Replacing a Samsung Note 3. Bought the Moto G6 as I needed asap in a $225 price range and it was returnable. Very nice extras.
Cons - No stylus. Didn't know how much I used the Stylus until I didn't have it. Was a bit of a data hog, had to do some restricting of apps. Case is very slick. Get a cover with it. It says textured, but it's very thin. So with a cover it's not huge. Enclosed battery so not replaceable.
Pros - Crazy long battery life! Super fast recharging! Has a Turbo Charge feature, whenever I am by the charger, I plug in. At 50% it takes about 20 minutes to charge to 100% But it can go all day long on and off 4G without a charge. If I was a road warrior, I could see having to charge this phone once a day. Also has the USB type C charger. Nice solid plug, not flimsy like the micro. You must use the factory cable, a 2.1A battery backup will provide Turbo Charge. But I never need to carry a spare battery! Excellent!
The Moto-motion is great! 2 chops and the flashlight turns on, again, turns off. 2 twists to left brings up camera, 2 twists for selfie, 2 twists for front again. Camera comes up fast for a photo. No fumbling in the dusk to find the camera function.
Phone has dual cameras - very nice pictures. I post to sell sites and this phone takes great photos.
Lots of memory (32GB) and I added a 32M card.
Phone is thin so adding a cover makes it a nice sized phone.
Bluetooth connects quickly, phone easily switches between wi-fi and 4G LTE flawlessly without my attention.
I'm sure there are more features I haven't discovered.
Overall I'm happy with the choice and price.

Nice phone, many slick features, great screen

I was an AT&T customer for ~10 years @ $80/month (unlimited talk & text w/ 2GB/month). I could go into all the details of why I didn’t change before now, but I’ll save you the pain of reading that and me typing it. It’s going to be a long story anyway.

I got an offer in the mail from Spectrum Mobile for unlimited talk & text with either unlimited data ($45/month) or pay for what you use ($15/GB). So, I looked at the phones they offered and didn’t like any of them. After a little research, I decided to buy a Moto G6 from Amazon. I got the phone, decided I liked it and then called Spectrum Mobile to send me a SIM card. Only to find out that they only support the phones they offer (I guess they’re more into the business of selling phones). OK, bummer.

I then searched for cell phone plans in Amazon. Mint came up. I ordered the starter kit. It came two days later. I put in the first SIM and after a little easy-to-follow setup, I was off and running. My house is in an AT&T dead zone (even though I live in Orlando FL). I had T-Mobile before and it was a dead zone too, so I thought that was my fate. Not so. As soon as I had the Mint card up and running, I placed a couple test calls from my house and was told I sounded perfect. Later, I noticed that my phone was saying it was using Wi-Fi calling. I'm not sure if this is a standard feature now, or just the G6, or part of Mint, but I know my old phone didn’t have it. OK, I had to rerun the phone test. So, I turned off my Wi-Fi and did the test calls again. Same result, I sounded totally clear. I know it doesn’t sound like much, but before, I could hear people perfectly, but they couldn’t hear me half the time. MAJOR irritation. OK, on with my story. I then drove around and placed several calls from other areas that had been problem areas. Same result. I sounded perfect. I tried from inside a building where I was totally FUBAR before. No problems. So far so good.
I tried out the mobile data. Sites loaded quickly and without any trouble. I decided to run a speed test. It got to about 35MB/s before I stopped it. In the time that I was running the test, it used 35MB of the 100MB on the test card, but I had the information I needed. Plenty of speed.

So, the next morning, I got on the AT&T site and reset my phone account PIN (this was a little bit of a pain, but only because the AT&T website instructions were incomplete so I had to search for the reset link). You need this to take your phone number over. So, then I stuck in the second SIM card from the starter kit and followed the instructions. After reading all the legalese, I signed up and purchased the 3 months of 5GB/month plan (there were $3.41 tax and additional charges, so my total was $58.41 after the $5 back from the starter kit refund). This was about noon. At the end, it said it would take up to 48 hours to switch my old number over. My old cell SIM became inactive almost immediately. After a few minutes, my new phone rang to my old number when I called from a land line, but it was on Wi-Fi calling. It took a couple more hours for it to ring with my phone Wi-Fi off. It took a while longer for the mobile data to kick in, but by 6pm it was fully up and running. So far, so good. I played around with the app some. It is very intuitive and easy to use, so much better than the AT&T app that is just a continual struggle. It doesn’t look like it will be any problem to extend my service through the app when the time comes.

Summary, Mint gets an A+ so far. Easy to setup and everything seems to work perfectly. If you’re looking for a phone, the Moto G6 also seems very nice. The screen’s not quite as wide as my old LG Optimus Pro (70mm vs. 73mm), but it’s taller (especially when you activate the Moto gestures to eliminate the wasted space associated with the Android on-screen navigation buttons). Battery life is excellent (my LG had replaceable batteries, which was cool, but the longer life of the Moto certainly compensates). Assuming the next 3 months go well, I’ll extend to the 1 year plan so I can keep the low monthly cost. I should have done this long ago. I hope this review was helpful.

Inferior in every way to the G5 Plus

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2019

Color: BlackSize: 32 GB Storage + 3 GB RAMVerified Purchase

So I had a g5 plus for about a year until the screen cracked, and I loved that phone. So when the screen broke and I needed a new phone I was torn, but I figured "hey this is basically an awesome phone but with a newer operating system, better camera and bigger screen, so why not?"

Well turns out those are literally the only 3 pluses this phone has. Most apps dont scale to the screen, are unstable and freeze. Like listening to music or a podcast while surfing the web or playing a game? Good luck....at least 30% of the time the music app will just shut off.

Playing a game and got a text message? dont bother replying....your game will shut off.....hopefully your ok with it restarting.

Storage capacity? Yeah right....seriously there wasnt space on this for me to download all my music from my g5, and that was only half full. (yes I know you can buy an memory card for this...I did, but i shouldnt have to).

So yeah, as long as your the kind of person who does one thing at a time...or really likes pictures (cause again to be fair camera is a fantastic improvement over the 5g plus) you might like this phone. Otherwise just buy the G5 plus. In fact ive had mine 4 months, and pretty much been considering trading it back in for a g5 plus (which for the record I would rate a solid 4 1/2 stars, due to its inferior camera)

EDIT: Removing a star due an occasional (every 7th or so restart) in which upon restart the phone temporarily does not recognize any SD cards used for storage and removes the icon for any app on the SD card from the screen, and also deletes ALL music playlists/photo albums using data stored on the SD card.

So yeah, basically this phone has no storage...if you add an SD card to fix that, you can no longer restart the phone without risking hours of work recreating playlists/albums/your home screen. Which basically renders the phone useless in my opinion for anything beyond calling/texting, and even cancels out the improved camera if you make any attempt to organize your photos.

It is an adequate phone, but you get what you pay for.

I was an iPhone user for years, and when my iPhone 6 finally started to die last year I decided to switch to a droid phone because I could not stomach spending $700+ on a new iPhone. I know Motorola has a great reputation for making good phones, and when I saw the G6 one sale I thought it would be worth a try. I mean, for less than $250 it was hard to beat what you get for the price. So here is the bottom line... after owning this phone for over 13 months I can say that overall it is a great value for the price, but if you are expecting to get the best quality phone for this price you will be disappointed. If you want a cheap, durable phone that will do what you need it to do then you'll be just fine.

Details:

Making and Taking Calls -
As an actual phone the quality is great. Never have dropped calls and I can hear the other person just fine all the time. I use speaker phone a lot and it is actually pretty nice. Only issues is sometimes it has issues switching from my car BT to my headset. I also have had issues when I have my headset on and I switch to another call. Overall I'm not complaining because the issues I've had have occurred maybe 1% of the time.

Screen -
The screen has been crazy durable. I have 3 little kids (do I need to say more about that?) and I am always trying to do too much multitasking, which ultimately results in heart-stopping phone drops. Some have been pretty bad, but even though I have only a very thin protective phone case, this thing has never broken or cracked. It's borderline Nokia phone durable. The resolution and general image quality it also pretty good. This isn't an OLED display or anything, but I don't have a lot of complaints. I don't even have much of an issue seeing the screen is sunlight. I only have 2 annoyances with the scree. The first is that almost from the beginning I noticed 2 small "hotspots". There is one spot near the top of the screen and one near the bottom of the screen where it is slightly brighter than the rest of the screen. They are about 2-3mm in diameter. It's only annoying when you look for them because then you can't unsee them; however, the vast majority of the time I don't even notice them. The second annoyance is the screen brightness. I don't have an issue during the day, but at night I can't dim the screen enough to make it tolerable in dark rooms. I have the brightness turned all the way down and it still feels like I'm lighting up the entire room. This is especially annoying when I'm trying to get my kids to bed but want to play on my phone.

Battery -
For normal use the battery appears to last forever. When I'm playing a game, using Facebook a lot, or doing something processor heavy like editing photos it starts to drain pretty quick. considering I still have the same phone and it's been over a year though, it's still pretty decent. Also the fast charger is actually really fast. Even only leaving it on the charger for a few minutes will charger it over 20%. After 15 minutes it's almost completely charged.

Memory -
Yeah... 32 GB is literally nothing these days. It is great that you can expand to 128GB via microSD... this was always one of the most irritating things about iPhones. Not being able to expand is so annoying, and of course they charge you hundreds of dollars for additional memory, which is the cheapest thing to manufacture these days. So while it's great that you can expand, it's really dumb that you can only go to 128 GB. WHY? That being said, I manage to get by with automatically backing up my pics and files in the cloud. It could be worse.

Fast? -
No. Not in the least. It actually WAS pretty decent for a while... several months even, but then the more I used it and the more apps I downloaded, the slower it got. That being said... it's OK. It has moments where it seems just fine, but then if I have a Podcast playing, something is downloading in the background, and I'm trying to use another app it gets confused and starts to get pretty laggy. For NORMAL use, most of the time it is adequate though. The worst thing that has happened so far was the Android 9.0 Pie update they just released last month. OMG... everything sucks just a little more after this update. The biggest issue I've had is Google Assistant will no longer work when I use voice commands to try to enable it. Sometimes I can go into my settings and re-enable it after restarting my phone, but it will stop working after an hour or so and then the settings are grayed out if I try to go re-enable it. Worked perfect BEFORE the upgrade. It also takes my phone probably 2 or 3 times longer to restart now, and I've had a couple of dozen instances of freezing or crashing since the "upgrade" compared to maybe half a dozen times prior to that over the course of 12 months. Nice OS update... SMDH.

User Interface -
So let's be clear... this is NOT an iPhone and I knew prior to switching that the user interface is not as intuitive and it's harder to find stuff. Yup. TRUE. You have to be pretty dedicated to dig through the settings to find certain features. They don't make it easy at all to find features you want to enable or configure. I don't know if it's intentional or what, but I have been really frustrated at times trying to find stuff I want to personalize or re-configure, and I'm not even an idiot. I do computer stuff for a living, so I'm not Luddite but I am extremely impatient. I kind of look at this as an "is what it is" kind of thing. It's not a deal-breaker, but some of the other fallacies would be easier to swallow and digest if the UI was cleaner.

Overall -
Like I said at the beginning, the phone is adequate. It gets the job done, but it isn't a 1 for 1 iPhone replacement, or even a real competitor with the higher end droid phones. If you don't want bells and whistles, this might be for you. I mean, that's what I was looking for and I'm not exactly throwing it out to go buy another phone (yet), but I'm also not writing home about it or trying to convince my friends they should switch. You will get a decent value with this phone, but you will also get what you pay for.

Wonderful phone and a great value

I upgraded from a G4 non-Prime to the G6 Prime version, and waited a few weeks to use it before writing the review. So far, it's well worth the upgrade (I would imagine skipping a generation was part of the noticeable difference).
The G6 is a lot of phone for the low price. I know the $800 flagships are premium with better cameras, etc. but having never used one, I don't know the difference and for my needs, really don't need premium features. For $250 or so this phone is all the average user needs. I use it mainly for the phone, texting, email, Facebook, camera, and few special apps like aviation weather. It works flawlessly. No crashes, no lag so far that I can tell. I don't play games on it but have watched YouTube videos and they run smooth and look great.
It took a couple days to get used to using the fingerprint sensor/button for swiping to go back, etc. but now it feels natural and easy so I turned off the three display buttons and don't miss them at all. And unlocking with the fingerprint is wonderful. I also use Lastpass for password management and set it for fingerprint authentication when I need to enter a password; it works wonderfully, as well.
As others have mentioned, the phone is very slippery being all glass, so I have an $8 Cimo case on it and that works great.
The camera is noticeably better than the G4, with clearer pictures and less shutter lag, though some lag is definitely still there. It's fine for most shots but action shots can be a little annoying. Being a photographer, I carry a camera most of the time anyway, so the phone camera is just for convenience here and there. I think most of us who like to spend this price range for a phone won't mind it.
Regarding the Prime version, I'm a Prime member so I don't mind having Amazon apps preinstalled - you can move them around to different screens or create a folder and put them all in it like I did. There are no lock screen adds, so you'd never know it's a Prime phone, really. Well worth the slightly lower price.
So over all I love the G6 and plan to get about 2 years out of it like I did with the G4. If you spread out the cost over two years, it's about $10/month vs. the flagships being $30-40/month. Can't beat that for a basic everyday phone!
Oh, and I love that they added a magnometer to this generation - I can finally use compass apps. That's nice.
Note - if you're upgrading from an older gen like the G3 or G4, this phone won't take the same sim card. My G4 used a micro sim and this one uses the smaller nano sim. I got my new one for $5 at Verizon.
If you're looking for a good, basic smart phone, I definitely recommend the G6!

I've been using the Moto G6 for a few fays now and I'm impressed. My previous phone was an LG G4. The LG was a bit bigger and a lot more expensive, but I don't notice any appreciable difference in performance. The Moto G6 has much better cell and WiFi reception than the LG. The Moto screen is crisp and clear, and very responsive. All of the apps I used on the LG work flawlessly on the Moto. My only 2 issues so far are that the Moto does not have a user replaceable battery, and there is no easy way to rearrange the navigation buttons on the screen. However, at around $200, versus around a thousand or so for some of those so called flagship phones, I can live with a couple very minor inconveniences. There are a few Amazon preinstalled apps that don't really take up too much space and they can all be either disabled or uninstalled. I currently have 70 apps installed and I'm using 14gb of the 32gb of built in storage. I also have a 32gb sd card installed of which 7gb is being used. Since the phone does have a glass back, I do recommend a case and of course a screen protector.

Update 1/14/2019 - I've been using my Moto G6 for several weeks now and I am upgrading my review to a rating of 5. I have friends and family that have thousand dollar phones that don't really run any better than this $200 phone. Sure those phones have some additional features and maybe higher res cameras, and I did have one of those expensive phones previously, but most of those features I never used. This phone runs all my apps flawlessly, charges fast and holds a charge all day with moderate use, and in my opinion takes very good pictures.

ITS A LENOVO PHONE! + 6 MONTHS UPDATE

Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2018

Color: BlackSize: 32 GB Storage + 3 GB RAMVerified Purchase

What a disappointment! My first Motorola phone in years have let me down.

Let's talk about the pros:

1) Decent small bezel screen with good resolution, 18:9 ratio is chic!

2) Almost stock Android experience, if vanilla is your favorite flavor.

3) Built in Amazon Apps can be disabled, like you won't know it's there.

4) The Moto gestures are cool, you can activate camera app by twisting your hand twice while holding the phone. Make a chopping motion twice activates flash light. And you can use the fingerprint sensor to navigate the phone instead of your usual on screen buttons.

5) A turbo charger is included, you can charge your phone in under an hour from 0 to 100 easily. But I think I know why it has one bundled with it...Keep reading...

Moving on to the cons, oh boy it's a long one:

1) This is the LOW-SPEC version, other market gets 4gb of ram and 64gb of storage, as well as actual glass back. This one gets 3gb/32gb and a plastic build. Yuck!

2) This phone will only get one more major Android release, the current 8.0 operating system is soooooooooooo damn slow on this phone. Like it becomes sluggish once you have a few apps open. It reminds me of using earlier Android phones. Ah, the nostalgia!

3) Camera sucks despite being a "now in season" dual cam setup. And here are MULTIPLE REASONS WHY IT SUCKS.

A, The Moto camera app takes forever to take a picture.

B, It doesn't have OIS, so all your pictures WILL be blurry. You better be steady like you have three legs (like a tripod).

C, The stock Google photo app takes FOREVER to open the picture you've just taken. Vanilla is not always good!

D, The pictures taken by default tend to be oversaturated, everyone look like they have an orange tan. As my friend puts it, the way this camera renders color is like a flip phone from the early 2000s. UNACCEPTABLE!

4) This one nails it in the coffin, the BATTERY LIFE IS APPALLING! The battery barely lasts a day, even if you use it lightly over time, like just checking emails and using uber apps. I usually unplug my phone at 7AM, and by 2PM I find myself having to reach for the charger. Charging the phone slowly using a standard USB charger does make the battery last a smidge longer. However, I now know why it came with a turbo charger, because you'll be needing to charge this phone quite frequently!

In conclusion,
DON'T BUY THIS PHONE if you have other choices, a similarly priced Huawei or Nokia will perform better than this fraud of a Motorola (Hint: It's actually made by lenovo, which sucks at making phones if you don't already know).

UPDATE 1 (1 MONTH): I've had this phone for over a month and it did not hold up well. I'm experiencing severe hiccup and slow down, especially when trying to use the phone after unlocking the screen. This really is the worst.

UPDATE 2 (6 MONTHS): THE WORST PHONE I'VE EVER HAD! It would now randomly reboot, stops reading SD card until I reboot twice. Each reboot takes 5 minutes. Now its even having difficulty charging! I've already tolerated its short battery life, but now it sometimes won't charge. Battery life sometimes goes down when charging! WTF?!

Well, by now you will ask, Why didn't I just get another phone? To be honest, I simply didn't have money for another phone. I am stuck with this POS until I can buy another phone.
