I bought two of them. They're not the sturdiest in the world but for my use they are great. I already own one and when I saw the price, I decided to buy a couple more.

Hey I have that phone with T-Mobile and I like it a lot it's small and light, and it's different from all my friends android phones which is cool. If you are on a budget like I am I really recommend it!

My phones were delivered this afternoon by UPS. Funny, I didn't expect them until next week as I selected the free delivery option (Egg Saver) which usually means delivery by snail mail. I lucked out since I only ordered them on Saturday.

Nope, they aren't refurbished, they are brand new. This was definitely a great deal as I paid $129.99 for my first one.

 

The only down side, which I didn't notice until it was delivered, these are white.

Get with it, its white because the iphone is white! BTW my white tower has been dusted once in 2 years. My black towers, every 2 weeks.

I don't care for the white but it's not a deal breaker. An otterbox will cover it....:D

 

You can keep your white tower, it's not for me.:big_ha:

Ha, ha I have a white iPhone, a white pc and even a white camera (Nikon J1 SLR with all kinds of white lenses)....I'd get white TV's if I could find them!

I figured out why the Lumina 521 (Windows 8) is so cheap. They just came out with the Lumina 530 (Windows 8.1)

Funny, bad things tend to happen in groups lol. My Galaxy 3 was run over after I accidentally left it on the top of my car in the best buy parking lot after loading two 27" LCD's. So, I'm using my old T-Mobile MyTouch 4G temporarily. It happens to be a great little phone though for short usage. Depending on how my job shakes out over the next few months I will be upgrading to the Galaxy 5 soon ... although, I noticed I use a phone more as a 'phone" instead of a "net device" which makes me question just how much of a smartphone I really need. Also I don't like them too big that I can't slide it directly in my pant pockets.

 

I have seen this phone out there (Lumina 521) I might get one just to play with so see how much I really need, and if I even need/want android.

The Lumia 521 is a Windows phone. One thing it lacks is LTE support but for the price, you can't beat it.

I am with you Catch, I use a phone more as a phone than anything. Yes I do credit card swipes with it and I use the calculator and calendar for dates but

I am concerned over the release of the iPhone 6 which will be a bit bigger than my 4S and I really don't want that. The 5S is a 1/2 " longer and I can live with that so I am hoping they promote the remaining 5s phones when the 6 comes out or I may go to an Android. Those big Samsungs turn me off because of the size also.
