+ The battery life is amazing, it last longer then most phones I've owned, so far I've had it last upto 4 days, even when using it and leaving it on during the night.

- The text is a bit small, and the bluetooth doesn't work too well. I also bought a cable for it but still can't seam to get any stuff on it
