I'm keeping this short and sweet.Anyone who talks trash about this phone either:1. Is a complete idiot and and probably can't figure out the remote to their television eitheror2. Has no idea about the relationship between their service provider and reception.This is phone is easy to use and sounds great. I switched over from my other phone in about 5 minutes and noticed an improvement in sound quality, and my other phone was an LG that sounded good to begin with.If your sound quality sucks, it is because your provider does not have good coverage in your area. If your phone does not work well (battery, etc.) it is either a lemon or you don't know how to handle electronics. If its lemon, get another. If you need a clue, get one.I think this phone is fine. I read a lot of these reviews and almost didn't buy it, then I remembered 90% of people are complete morons. If you are not a moron, this phone will work fine for you. Looks pretty cool too.
