its great for checking your email and lisening to music. as well as a international phone. im in japan and i can still use this phone by wifi. as some of use may know japan has a different phone network and they don't sell prepaid sim cards, but with this phone i can still call family and friends via wifi. you will have to use a sip-based voip service. like voipvoip.com once your set up is compleat you can use the smartphone anywhere in the world via wifi. the built in camera is great for up close pictures of people to add on to your contact info. voice command is great you just have to know what to say. but, once you know all the commands its like talking to a personal secretary.
