Simply the best!!
13 years ago
First of all, other than the camera being a 5mp vs. a 8 mp, the specs are identical to the galaxy s III. Side by side side comparison proves it. They call the HTC First a mid range phone? This is a definite high end.
Battery lasts a super long time. Over 14 hours talk time, which actually is 12 hours tested and near 7 hours of continuous video playing. Very good!
Response is on point. Absolutely no lags!!
Display is clear and sharp.
Call quality is excellent.
Ringtone is high. Vibration is strong.
Facebook home needs work though- gives too many error messages when posting a status or commenting on a picture.
Keyboard is ok... Not the best. But you can download many keyboard style from the play store.
Camera is not that great. It's a 5 MP back camera but works and looks nice ... It's not as nice as the iPhone or Galaxy S III
Comes out the box with 16gb internal memory but no external memory available. No removable battery. So 16GB with 12GB of use is all you get.
This is a great phone and I definitely recommend it. You can use Facebook all you want or turn the Facebook home option off and use the phone as a normal android device. It has lots to offer. I love mine. I got the white one. Paid retail price but well worth it for me.

Not what it seems
13 years ago
I don't know who's responsible. This phone was misleading. First this is the Facebook phone. I have no interest in Facebook or social media.
Second, this site says the phone has a built in FM radio. IT DOES NOT have it. I wanted this phone specifically to avoid using my data plan with the radio. I have to download an app for streaming radio. Not what I wanted. Also, it did not come with headphones. It seems that smartphones no longer come with headphones.
Third, I have to register and download everything that I need. I couldn't figure out voicemail until I called customer service and received the automated line. With the previous blackberry phone I had, all I had to do is press a button for voicemail.
The music player doesn't work properly. I may have to download an app for that. Some of the apps aren't customizable. It's like you can only change the settings for the phone, not for the apps. I thought android was suppose to be easier than this.
Lastly, I was hoping for an instruction manual. Or at least something built in the phone. I could not find a help feature on the phone. It does have voice search, but that came up with very little, and it has to connect to the internet to work.

I would prefer my old nontouch screen phone to this...
11 years ago
Phone cracks very easily, has been glitching somewhat with crashing on apps, and the battery is terrible.
Please avoid buying this phone considering my sister has one and hers glitches so much, doesn't even turn the right direction and doesn't hold a charge well.
No, I do not recommend this product.
