John, Burgess Hill Basic text and chat user

Score 5.0/10

Good points:: Uses HTCs excellent menus, very easy to navigate. Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich is a pleasure to use. Built in app that monitors usage is excellent
Bad points:: Camera has no flash and no autofocus, makes it useless for scanning QR codes and rubbish for photos. No front facing camera also means no Google video chat
