A fine phone for the price.
By Yehuda
Listen, you are looking at this because you want an unlocked, unblocked, carrierless, pentaband phone with decent specs that looks respectable. This phone is fast, screen is decent, and Blu gives it the old college try in terms of trying to present a professional package. The battery life is ok and the cam is about what you would expect, ie just so so.Now it does have its quirks, the occasional awkward translations, tinny ear piece, flimsy back cover and the occasional bug- like no predictive dictionary with the android keyboard (switch to swype and all is good). GPS also took me a long time to find a lock. Perhaps that was just for the first time. In general, though, it runs extremely smooth. If you don't like the BLU theme you can easily change it to stock ICS theme. It has a T9 dialer and tethers out of the box.You can always spend just another $100 and get something better (ie Nexus 4). If you are on a budget however, especially if spending another $100 GETS you to this price point, this phone is a fine pick (never mind that its the only pick as of now). Keep in mind that there are no cases or skins for this phone yet. Blu does give you a complimentary screen protector made for the phone.On a side note, its very annoying to research a phone and see low scores because of a problem with the seller, ie someone didnt get the screen protector, or it was opened. While that's important to know, we all come here for reviews of the product.

Unbeatable in the price range!
By j21blackjack
First of all, I'm coming from a MyTouch 4G that is 2 years old, and is still one of the best phones on the market today. That being said, the Quattro 4.5 is an amazing phone for $229. This thing is blazing fast and has a big vibrant screen. It comes with a screen protector custom cut for it, but it has a slightly sticky surface to it that some may not like. I'd say the phone is just slightly faster than my MT4G, but the MT4G is overclocked to 1.5GHz, and the Quattro is stock. I can't stand when phones are pre-loaded with crap, so luckily this phone is very easy to root. I used bin4ry root mentioned in another review. The newest version (v25) will NOT work. It will send your phone into continuous boot looping. I ended up using an old version (v15) simply because it was easy to find a download for it. When your phone asks for an encryption password, just type something into the top box and leave the bottom one blank. After rooting you can use Titanium Backup from the market to uninstall any of the pre-installed junk you want. Keep in mind, bin4ry will reboot your phone a few times before it's done. I strongly encourage anyone attempting to root this phone to read over the bin4ry thread on the xda-developers forum and fully understand what you are doing first.One other thing, if you find yourself in a bootloop, it's ok. You just need to do a factory reset, and the Quattro has a built in recovery. Just hold volume up and power at the same time. As soon as the screen turns green and the first line appears at the top, release the power button. Keep holding the volume up button until you reach the recovery screen. It may take a couple of tries since the timing of the power button matters, but it's easy enough once you figure out how to do it.So far everything is great with this phone and I'm already planning on buying a second one for my wife. I do believe this is the only Blu phone that will work on Tmobile's 3G network since it's the only one that has 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz support for WDCMA mode. I'll update in a few months.EDIT:I discovered today that the phone uses a small 2GB partition to store data that is normally kept on an external sd card. In setting/storage there is an option to switch storage to an external sd card. The phone will automatically move everything over for you. I highly recommend this if you take a lot of pictures and video.

By mike
pros :Everything Came in a nice package, ear bubs are pretty decent, the phone came with a USB and a wall charger which is nice. Also a screen protector. The phone is pretty loud, meaning the speakers are a decent quality. The screen is bright, the touch functions are ok. gaming is good with this phone tried a few apps works great. Phone feels nice with one hand, my dumb can reach all functions so its not too big like a 5 inch phone but not too small like a 4 inch or 3.5 inch so ill say its a decent size. 1080p video recording is nice try a few times and it works great.Cons: not really big cons reallycam is only 5 mega pixels compared to other phones in this mid range to high end specsThe sound quality on the head phone is not as good as when its coming out of the speaker, well not as loud ect. still decent thou.the power on button is a little flimsy, feels like it might break if i keep pressing it over time.The micro usb plug that goes into the phone to charge it, sometimes gets stuck into the phone, so be careful when putting it in and taking it out, I though i had broke mines one time when trying to put it in.
