Great entry level android phone for metro pcs...
By Jose
I've had this phone a few months now and I have to say that I'm pretty impressed with it overall. I'll start with the pros: the quality and features of the phone are awesome for an entry / lower-mid level android phone. The case is aluminum and plastic - not as stylish as the other optimus phones on Verizon, T-Mo, Virgin or Sprint, but it still looks and feels great in your hand. It is identical to the optimus that Cricket carries. The display is bright - pictures, video and apps look great on it. The phone is responsive, with no lag and the touch screen is multi-touch, you can "pinch" the screen to zoom in and out of maps. Sound is ok - the call quality is good, and music lacks any real depth to it on speaker, but comes through nice and loud. If you plug in headphones for music, they sound great. Compared to the Huawei Ascend that metro offers - this thing rocks! Couple the fact that this is a cool little phone with metro's unlimited plan, and you have a sure winner. I added this phone to my wife's metro account and they knocked out $5 per line - so now we pay $35 for her line (non-smartphone) and $45 for my line. $80 unlimited text, talk and web on two lines is crazy you couldn't do any of that on the other carriers for anywhere near the price! I don't know how it works here on Amazon, but in store they also sweeten the deal by offering a $50 mail in offer, and a free phone of equal or lesser value. Now the cons: No 3g! Metro does not offer 3g service...period. They have standard 1x data or 4g - this phone unfortunately operates on the 1x data standard even though its capable of 3g and it has a sticker saying this on the backside. That being said though if you have wifi at home or access to wifi readily available you can make do because its pretty zippy on wifi. The "easy wifi" software included with the phone actually looks and connects to available wifi. When I'm at a mall or airport I don't worry about data being slow because it looks and connects for me. The only other con is the bloatware that comes installed on the phone - some of it runs constantly and eats up memory even though you don't use it. The only way to get rid of the annoying preinstalled software is to root your phone - and in this you have to be careful. If you get a phone with android 2.2 you can easily root it with Z4root or such, but if you get one with android 2.2.1 out of the box it is a task not for the new to rooting and could leave your phone without service. Overall I would recommend this phone if you are on a budget and can't afford metro's 4g android but want an andriod smartphone. Buy it you won't regret it!

By hobie woods
That's right the little green guy has finally came to the Metro PCS Company. When I think of android I think of loads of fun. Plenty of apps to keep your fingers playful and a few good laughs. We all know the android market is the leading rival for the iphone. If your looking for a phone that can make unlimited calls, text, browser, games, and some of the most helpful apps all for 50 bucks a month? This is the phone for you. Packed with its GPS spoken turn by turn navigation's, its hard to believe that metro released this phone for so cheap in my opinion. Running the 2.2 android you will experience less lag then your 2.1 version. I did experience a few laggy problems with a few apps, but not many at all. The Gps feature was great and very accurate. It was also nice to have several apps that clued me in on nearby restaurants, movie theaters + show times, different local gas stations with the lowest prices in gas. This phone has it all. The resolution on this phone is just beautiful. Although its screen size is nothing compared to your Evo (sprint), smaller in size texting on the virtual keyboard does take a little time to get used too. With the new swipe texting feature it does make it a little more simple and faster to type out those messages. The touch screen, I found to be very responsive and very durable. All in all I gave this phone a 8 out of 10.

Dead wrong
By Ms.Rose
I received the phone on time, however the phone is defective. it takes unnecessarily long times to connect to the internet and I know its not my service because my friend has the same. The phone WILL NOT READ THE NEW MEMORY CARD I bought,AND you can clearly why it canr read the memory card because that are looks like ots been damaged and/or tampered with. and I feel like a memory card is essential to phone usage. I cant take pics, save music or ringtones to my phone. When I contacted them about it, I never received a response DONT BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM
