NOT GOOD PHONE. THIS FUNK JUNK!
I do believe in all probability, that the HTC phone when first came out for the first maybe 3 months, was at the top of its class. First four G for Sprint that came out. I imagine they were proud of it, but it is a heavier phone and more than likely it was one of the first ones that you could turn sideways to look at the whole screen. there is a kick out on the back of the phone that is like a lever and it will prop the phone up to watch the phone horizontally. That I did find very convenient. As for the picture resolution it's like a conventional TV then a plasma TV and also an HDTV, then you have your 4K TV. It's comparable to a plasma TV in the picture quality lineup. the the processor works very slow it takes a long time to load at any point. and then when you update and then when you update that is also a drawn-out process that seems to last forever. The buttons and icons little bit confusing at first, but then you get the hang of it and then you realize that the IT department at HTC must have been on vacation with their brains , because it sure is a very ill created and slow setup. and the battery life isn't too long, but I don't know why. I do know that when the phone is shut off it drains the battery dead when the phone is off. Even when you have location and everything shut off, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and various other programs. So I do not recommend buying one of these used phones unless you just want to use it to hold to your other phone or if you using your other phone for something else you can use the HTC to watch YouTube. But it really took me back aways and I had to laugh when I seen some of the applications in there and one of them that was burnt into the memory was Blockbuster Video. That was a hoot and a hell of a laugh!!! There are some programs in there that are obsolete and some that will not update. It does have a security update and it does do a firmware update, but that's about it. It will not run Google Chrome, live. Me and a few various other programs. It does a good job with maps though and Street view. I would not buy one of these phones unless you just want to use it every once in awhile maybe to watch YouTube possibly. It has a slow responding processor that maybe in the day was fast for a processor. I am very happy with my v20 by LG though it's quick as heck and takes beautiful pictures and videos. Watch out for the LG v20 also. My charge port went bad got real hot and burnt me, got a replacement phone because I had insurance and it was less than 30 days. Then the new one they gave me, the touch screen went bad, so they issued me a another v20. then one day I laid my phone down after using it and then I picked it right back up and it had a lock out on it that's it redo the tap pattern to unlock phone. Well I never set up a tap pattern so I tapped and tapped in Tapped. Wrong thing to do erase the data lock the phone. Verizon would not give me a new phone Google was not cooperating. Needless to say I was out of phone from a Wednesday till the Thursday of the following week. then I finally got ahold of Google and John there was very friendly and very very helpful. He says where did you get the phone, I said bought it brand-new it Verizon. He said brand new?, I said yes well they had to replace it a couple of times about this my fourth one, first one charging port got hot, second one it's touch screen went bad and this is my third one I'm on. He then asked me says what is your email? I told him what it was. He responded, and this is a new phone that you got? I said yeah it was replacement they said it was a new phone. He said sorry to tell you but that's a refurbished phone and not a new one and that is the reason you cannot get into it because your email does not match whoever had the phone first. I said well they told me that this was a store demo or something and it was a new phone that was never used. He said sorry to tell you again sir, that is a used refurbished phone, and I cannot give you the password. I was Furious! I called Verizon back maintaining what little patience I had, they made me hard reset it, that did not work still would not accept my email. They shipped me another phone with a new SIM card got it next day. That one worked the other one was not refurbished properly.. then I noticed that the phone I have now had a few minor scratches on it on back cover and I called Verizon back and ask him if this was a brand new phone and not a use refurbished one like they sent me. They says refurbished because that is what LG does if your new phone goes bad. I paid almost $750 for this new phone, and they're giving me a used refurbished one instead of replacing it with a new one and still charged me full retail price and the warranty does not begin over again either. just watch out for Verizon trying to give you used one for new price. I'm still fighting them and I will till the endRead full review
