I wanted a basic smart phone to handle some texting and limited web access. The iPhone does the job. Use of the phone and its features is generally very intuitive, typical of Apple. Could use better battery life, however, I haven't been caught dead in the water yet. Screen size is small, but that's a trade-off against carrying convenience. Overall, a good phone. Once on board with Straight Talk and auto-payment, all is well.

there are some good working benifits to this phone.. it has a solid feel and sturdy heft. the downside is that the screen is super sensitive..i had to turn off the zoom feature because random touches would make it explode into giant size.. and the only way to fix it was to reboot each time.. other than that it is a practical, useful tool

As a person switching from Android to iPhone, I must say there are perks of both phones. I enjoy the iPhone for it's quick speed and multi-tasking abilities. Since the phone is so widely popular, there are more accessories to chose from whereas the Android Thunderbolt didn't really supply many options. The iPhone's screen is amazingly clear and saturated with color. My iPhone is white so that's a nice change since all previous phones were black. The iPhone camera has exceptional quality for a phone but there are no editing options handy for immediately tweaking a photo. I use an iPod and Macbook Pro so it only made sense to fully convert to Apple to gain full access to iCloud, which is also very clever and handy. The iPhone's voicemail is great since you don't have to dial Voicemail or your own # and enter a passcode but can pick and choose which messages you want to listen to/delete by clicking on the phone number from each specific caller. I like the Thunderbolt's screen size more than the iPhone as it is significantly bigger and definitely makes reading easier. The Android keyboard set up is much easier to use and access numbers/characters. The phone camera is decent quality and has editing tools for a quick crop or color adjustment. No need to open a separate app to get the photo editing done, which is very convenient. I do like that the Thunderbolt has a kickstand build-in. Although, I've seen iPhone cases out there with this built-in. Hope this helps!Read full review
Best phone ever! Love my friends iPhones, so got the latest after issues with my old cell. And with saying 5 stars for battery life, I mean for an iPhone. It needs charged every evening/night but for an iPhone that is normal. Easy to use and perfect screen and camera. Syncs perfectly with everything. Very fast downloads. So simple to email, message, call, Skype, ect from most any screen. Never will go back to another phone type/brand. Apple really knows what they are doing! And Siri is amazing and so easy to use!
This phone is a good value for the money I spent on it. Because it is the size of a smartphone the battery life between charges is very good for an iphone. I had an iphone 4 16GB (AT&T) before. The battery life was very bad on that one. This one is decidedly better. When it comes to making and receiving calls and texting I have had no problems; These features work great. I use it as my hotspot for my laptop. It does this task really well. I have had no issues with downloading apps that I like. There really is only one issue that I have with it. I think it may be due to the fact that the memory on this phone is not large. There are a couple of apps that I tend to use a lot but sometimes I have problems navigating in them. One of them sometimes freezes. The other one sometimes will not open. Overall,though I like this phone. It works well the overwhelming majority of the time. I think I will have it for quite awhile.Read full review
