- Good Points
- Great size, ergonomics make it fit nicely in the hand, vanilla Android so nice and fast. It was for my mother and even she's had no problems figuring it out!
- Bad Points
- Hardware is slightly outdated compared to some of the latest dual core handsets; this doesn't take anything away from the user experience though and it's a Google phone so will continue to receive updates.

- Good Points
- Absolutely fantastic smartphone! Pure Google Android experience without anything futile. I got this phone with Android 2.3 and instantly recommended upgrading to 4.0 version. Design makes this very easy to use with one hand. Overall the phone corresponds to your commands like you want.
- Bad Points
- 3,5mm audio jack could be on top. Screen is sometimes too sensitive, but you can adjust it to lower sensitivity.

- Good Points
- Has NFC capability
generally conventient to activate all connectivities wifi, bluetooth etc
Many good features
Excellent screen display bright and easy to see.
Signal strength reception better than my previous phone.
Used as GPRS modem with my laptop, excellent. - Bad Points
- Camera should have a button to activate instantly, not through touch screen, takes too long to start.
The same problem as other smart phones, battery life is not long, this needs daily charge.

- Good Points
- Surprisingly good battery life versus my old Palm Pre. Great, vibrant screen despite not being the Super AMOLED version of the phone. Fluid animations and snappy changes despite only being a single-core device.
- Bad Points
- Android is clunky compared to WebOS, just not as intuitive. No Gorilla Glass. No Micro USB expansion slot. Will NFC ever be used?
