Heh, it costs $200 now. Gonna wait til it goes down even lower before I jump on it. MIGHT get an Admire to hold me over for now since they're down to $60.
This Phone Is Good But The Battery Life Succs Real Bad. I Take It To Work It Stands Two Hours With Some Texting Here And There But Once It Dies, Putting It On The Charger And Trying To Text Is Impossible. The Phone Keeps Dying And You have To Let It Charge Off Before You Use It Because If You Cut It On It Will Just Keep Shutting Off. So I Would Never recommend This Phone And Im Leaving Metro PCS And Getting The Mytouch 4G Slide T-Mobile With No Contract.
I Still Didnt Really Lose Any Money Because I Purchase The Samsung Craft That Broke So They Gave Me This One For $10 Buccs. Im Glad But Im Done With Metro PCS.
@MrMarkiemarkie21 yes. the phone comes with three virtual keyboards and all of them have the option to speak your text. the google app also comes with a voice search, and any keyboard app i've downloaded from the android market also came with the speech to text option as well.
i believe the app store is necessary because the old android phones the optimus m and huawei ascend, their updates to the 2.2 android os are downloaded through that app store and it's just a pain trying to get it from your pc to the phones sd card. so if there was every an update on this phone it would probably be through the app store but all others aren't too necessary
is this phone worth upgrading from the huawei ascend 2 from cricket to the indulge on cricket? paying 300 bucks? is it just going to be the same thing same old boring android you see on optimus and huawei? or is it a lot nicer. or would i be better off just getting like the blackberry curve or blackberry style 9670 on boost cuz android is getting pretty tiring
Can someone answer this question for me. My freind has this phone and she said that she cant remove her micro sd chip without it messing things up on her phone, like for example her apps geting deleted. Is this normal for this phone or what? Thanks:)
is it true that if u add it to a family plan u get an android for $30??? i might go today and if it's true, I'll come back and comment to tell you guys :D!!
If you really have a problem with the battery life, download ADW Launcher. It works very well with almost every android phone. It will give you a different home screen but it works well. It actually uses less android system. It works fantastic and actually saves your battery much more life.
I just bought the Galaxy Legend yesterday. Im not nearly as impressed as Sydney. I fing the sppeds slower than expected and the BATTERY??? Lasted just 5 hours before needing a charge. Id take it back, but Metro does not do refunds on this phone.
Thanks so much, Phonedog! You're awesome. You answered all the questions I had about this phone. Since it's cheaper now ($300), I think I'm going to go ahead and splurge and get it. Thanks!
Also... Reviewer lady, stop poking at it unnecessarily! Flat keys? How else do you want it to slide in and out? And then you complain about the punctuation marks -_- L2 text talk; a grammarz no matter in teh interwebz or on phfonez fool; that is all
can someone please!!!!!! tell me how i can down load a pic txt sent to me and put it on my saved pic.. sd card and how to down load those txt pic to my comp... Thank you!!!

@TheHorrorTastic what is phone rooting? i plan on gettin this shit at the end of the month and id LOVE to not see all the stupid metro apps displayed :)
@BTK9er Rooting Is like jailbreaking a Iphone so you can do what ever you want with it delete bloatware get free paid apps overclock the cpu and alot more.
can you delete Iron Man 2 from the Memory Card? Because when I get this phone I might watch it like once, then I'll want to delete it so I could have more space for other things like pictures, music, videos, etc.
UGH the only reason i want a new phone is cause i have the shit huawei ascend and its battery is sHIT! =....( any 1 know a good metro phone high end but has a good battery life not the optimus either or the black berry THX!
this phone is worth 300 because u pay 50 0r 60 a month for unlimited call text and web in other companies u pay that for just regular 3g service with 400 minutes
@pockets7744 Really??! so is the phone working as well as promised when you got it? I wonder if I can get that too, i'm going to look on ebay right now lol.
@pockets7744 Oh okay, I tried to get one on ebay but I couldn't get to the bids in time. it's okay I just went to the metro store and bought it there. And you're right about the battery,I had it fully charged I barely used it for a whole day and the battery is already halfway gone by the end of the day. I look foward to a new battery too.,
the battery life is very low, I turned the phone on at 7am by 10:30 it was dead, this was without using anything only by having it on, a friend told me about an appkiller and that helped, it stays on until 12:oo then I swap another battery and that's how I get my day through with this phone, the physical keyboard is a little hard to use too and it takes some time to get used to the functions button and it doesn't work very good inside buildings one has to get outside to use it. thanks.
Your beautiful Sydney! And your voice too. Been thinking about getting this phone. But i have been waiting for price to go down. Are you in Dallas? I'm in Dallas (GP to be exact) just wanted to know if the 4g coverage was topnotch here.
guys please do not buy this phone i got it for 2 months now and the battery is super ultra ultimate bad the 1 ghz procesor is bad and it freeze a lot it take 3 hours for the battery to fully charge with all this shits that are bad in this phone the only thing that metro come do is upgrade the phone to android gingerbread ( 2.3 )
