Gunnar P. M. Maluf (MG, Brazil) : The model name is just perfect Desire. Desire to keep using it until a better phone comes to the market. The touch screen is very responsive , the phone is sexy, the Droid system (2.2) is amazing!! The only complaint is the battery the doesn't last too much, but mind you that happens with every smart phone if you keep using internet,gps,music, etc. Thank you Amazon!!!!!
D. H. R. Mora (Venezuela) : This is an excellent phone, is truly awesome, but.... I bought this phone (International Version) from this seller FGS, brown and everything, the only problem I got, was that the international version results to be Indian Version, that means, it has only 1 language English (India), Android allowed me to install an application to change the language, however, some text still appears in English, I think it should be explicit in this publication.
Morun : As most of the people writting, it is in fact a great android phone, brother of the Nexus One. AMOLED vs SLCD=> No sense to compare. But potential buyers, specially those located outside the US, must be warned of the fact that international version mean that one item will be randomly taken from stock and shipped to you..and its configuration can be to anyplace , japanesse, chinesse, and in my unfortunatelly case, for arabian market. The difference is the preloaded applications through ROM memory. I bought an international version thinking that maybe, the cellphone could come with some spanish apps or otherwise some european apps (like language system, news, etc.). But when I received the apparatus and turned it on, Problems started. First: Only two languages to choose for operating system; English/Arabic. Fortunately I understand some english and said 'its ok but wish i have found spanish option'. Second: Found some muslim apps, at ROM level and it means that I cannot remove it, Specially one irritating program which reminds the muslim pray time by "singing" a chorus and there were no way to make it to stop neither by forcing it to stop through settings. It made me to be on the verge of flashing the OS. Fortunatelly, and looking through the Web I found the way to make a soft reset and now the program is still there but inactive. Third: Apps related with weather, time and world clock had preloaded arabic cities. In this case it was relatively easy to remove and change cities. Finally, I found some additional apps to compose with spanish dictionary. Finally today I'm fine with the device but after one week of thoroughly visit forums, setting it, etc.

HTC Desire S S510E Voucher
Tom Suarez "Cattigara" (New York) : HTC arrived at such a perfect design --- simple, no-BS, perfect size, gorgeous screen, no nonsense --- that my only fear is that they will decide they need to change it just to change it.
Best of all are the PHYSICAL BUTTONS.
The only weak point is the battery life. But that is part of having a powerful, compact phone -- would I want it to be a bit bigger and heavier to accomodate a bigger battery? Not so sure.
By the way, there is the issue of the Desire on T-Mobile, since the Desire is not compaible with T-Mobile's funny frequency. It WORKS FINE on T-Mobile, but on their 2G, not 3G, network. You have to set the stuff on the phone (easy) and have T-Mobile set it on their end.
Nishanth (Bangalore, India) : And the reasons for that pronouncement are twofold, costs less than half the price unlocked, unbranded and does as much or more without being locked into the confining world of Mr. Jobs. Android, Snapdragon processor (whatever that is-for me it could be a SnapTulip and I wouldnt know the difference. I only know it is fast). Really I don't know what else you can do with a cell phone. The battery is a tad weak but is rumored to improve after a few depletions and charges. Excellent phone.
P. Pruett (California) : This is a great phone, the only thing I don't like is that it does not support T-Mobile 3G frequency for internet access, Edge is very slow. As some reviewers have indicated battery life is not that great, but I don't know of any smart phones that have great battery life when used to access the internet, check e-mail etc. You learn to manage battery capacity by knowing what functionality consumes the most power. All in all excellent device.

HTC Desire HD A9191 Voucher
Christ (Managua, Nicaragua) : Well, I bought this phone for the Android Operative System, It already came with the Froyo Update, all the cool features were enabled (Menu navigation, HD Video Recording, etc...) the widgets are just excellent, useful and some of them are for fun, like the Friend Stream, which allows you to have your Facebook/Twitter updates in a single window, another nice widget is the Weather, it locates you where you are, if I move to a different city, it will show the current position and the weather (Data transmission required). The camera is Fantastic, it take excellent pictures and HD Videos with Great quality.
Lily : The phone itself is not too heavy, very comfortable in your hands and so intuitive to use, the Android OS manage everything in such a fantastic way (Phone alerts, text messages, widgets, visual effect) you really enjoy using the phone, I had some problems setting up the Internet for my Service Provider (I thought I already had active, but no =P)but I finally did it, it works like a charm I am able to access Internet and a very smooth way, use my Mercury Messenger application (Downloaded from Android Market), download music, everything; I really like the way how the phone manage my Emails (Email Widget by HTC), you have the option to see just the headers, a little of the message or the whole message. The "People" Application (By HTC) allows you to link your phone contact with their Facebook/Twitter/Flickr account, you can select which picture from the services you want to use as a contact picture, if the contact updates that picture, it will be updated in your phone too, you can see all the contact's updates from the People application to have more specific information about that contact specifically. The phone Works really fast (It has never froze with me) even though I have many applications running in background, remember that the amount of applications you have running at the same time is proportional to the battery consumption, besides of the Social Network applications it also has some business applications, like the PDF viewer and Quick Office.
Dante : Carrying the new snapdragon processor this is a pretty fast smart phone. When I bought it it was still considered the best mobile around, not sure how it now stands up to the samsung Galaxy. I think they are pretty similar, with the desire being a bit more heavy and feeling a tad more solid in hand. The updated google maps navigation makes it into a decent GPS device as well, getting you the maps and updates for free. You do need to have a connection, though, so when you go abroad you would need a mobile passport or wait for an update that allows you to keep the maps offline.

HTC Windows Phone 8X Voucher
D. Hipp "douzer" (ohio) : I ordered a HTC A8181 from the seller last year,but he mailed me a ADR6275 which is much cheaper than A8181, there is no place to insert a SIM's card and can only be used for US cellular. I wanted to return it, but he did not agree.
Basil A Ba-aziz (SPRINGFIELD GARDENS, NY, US) : I like this product than other because it has (Wi-Fi Hotspot)
the camera not so good all the photos are not good,
the battery not good as it require to be replaced by 1600mah at leaset to be same as iphone in usage.
Android supports several language,
Touch not as good as iphone
phone sound and playing videos at this huge screen is good experiment
consider iphone before buying this product
ManBearGote : When choosing a smart phone i had done a lot of research and came up with two options at the time, HTC and Samsung. Samsung is great, but HTC has a little more innovation and technical aspects which i like and the HTC Desire is great at it. I had previously owned a HTC Desire HD, but it fell and the screen cracked after a couple days of use and even after repairing it, i jus didnt want it again, but the phone was superb, great UI, physical feel and jus overall construction. While searching for a replacement, i came right back to HTC and took a second look at the Desire. Not only that, but my gf wanted a smartphone as well. I ordered the first one from WorldwideDistributors through Amazon, with excellent delivery time and an excellent product too. Moving on the phone now......

Pros of HTC Desire
HTC 8x c620E Voucher
Lyndon A. Diaz (trinidad & tobago) : So.... after much deliberation i decide on the HTC 8181 Desire........ And for the week it worked it was a fantastic handset.
However after just 7 days the speaker in the handset stopped working..... just like that. Phone never fell, never got wet, nothing. The speaker-phone and head phones worked fine but the normal handset speaker... not so much.
So after being a Nokia owner for almost 20 years I regret having switched to HTC... and for US $400. I hope Amazon/HTC provides me with a FULL refund as i am not sure i want another HTC phone.
Ben (New York City) : Fantastic phone, this is my first Android smartphone and I am impressed. Hardware wise I really like the rubber backing, nice and secure grip and not slippery like the plastic or metal most phones have. The metallic brown finish is another plus, looks unique and elegant. Love the HTC clock and weather widget and what to say about Android, just like all Google stuff its simple and intuitive - when using the phone or customizing it everything just makes sense. The phone is extremely responsive when swiping or running apps with no lag, also very good call quality on earpiece but only passable speaker. Screen is very nice, I have the SLCD version and have no complaints. Text is sharp and colors are vibrant. Even though it does not support U.S. 3G I chose the Desire over the Nexus One and Mytouch 4G. I like the Desire's look over the Nexus and MT4G as well as HTC Sense, optical trackpad and slightly updated specs over the Nexus. Funny how the phone is the least used function, Edge is not so bad for browsing but when connected to WiFi on my network it basically turns into a mini tablet for me. Web browsing, checking emails and news, media stuff like youtube, checking up on payments for auctions.. and on top of that its a touchscreen remote for my Squeezebox and desktop. Incredible to say the least.
D. Hipp "douzer" (ohio) : Only two cons with the Desire that most owners have already mentioned - the short battery life and usable memory. Battery life is not horrible but not great either, prob get a full day on moderate use. Memory though is definitely insufficient, only about 140MB of space for apps. Even for a light user like myself it is not enough and Ive ran into the low space warning once or twice. Fortunately the good news is that both these problems can be solved with a little modding (the fun part!), hint: google htc desire root. After a few customizations I am able to install apps to the MicroSD card to save space and get max about 2 days on the battery. Again, the default 1 day battery is not so bad considering the phone is used for so many functions, most smartphones average in that range. But I am happy with the mods that just adds on to an already spectacular phone. Btw I would also recommend the Case-mate Barely There case for the Desire, adds a little more grip and protection but does not affect the size or look (hence the name). Overall extremely satisfied with my purchase and highly recommend the Desire, HTC and Google rocks!

HTC Desire S Android Voucher
Traci Neel : Of all the cell phones I have had, including the iphone 3G, this is absolutely without a doubt my favorite! Its fast, crystal clear, offers great photos and video for a camera phone and is expandable with the micro SD card slot. The touch screen is very responsive and the colors are amazing! It took a bit for me to learn the screens and figure out the phone without the instructions right out of the box, and I still have a lot to learn, but so far it has been easy and entertaining. I have an itouch as well, which I really like, but above all this phone has won my approval.
bob : In comparison to its sister phone, the HD2, this phone runs much smoother. The Android operating system makes every task easy to do, and often offers a widget for fast access from your homescreen. The only downside is the screen size. Whilst 3.7 inches is a good size, the HD2 boasts a 4.3 inch screen, all the better for games and films.
Android currently offers tens of thousands of applications for every task and area of entertainment, many of which are free. With 5 megapixels you would expect good quality photos, however Android does not seem to render the images as well as Windows Mobile.
The HTC Desire comes with Froyo (v 2.2), but offers free updates when Google decide to remember to release it.
Andrew : I was and I have to say I still am one of those die hard old style cell phone guys that always frowned upon these hot electronic gizmos,especially Iphones and stuff. But I have to admit that after playing with a friend of mine brand new HTC Desire the next day I had my own in my hands,while my old beaten Nokia finally rested in a drawer.
It's my very first smart phone,so I guess I may be too much of a newbie in this field to review or compare similar devices,but so far I have to tell you that this phone really works wonder. Extremely easy to setup and personalize,tons of very useful apps to download for free and best of all for a phone destroyer like me it feels well built and solid.Of course I had to buy the silicone case and the plastic film for the glass.
I mainly bought it for my overseas trips,it really happened too many times to find myself in need of an internet connection. The only critic I have is the battery life. You have to remember to plug the thing in when you come back at home at night. Or,if you kept wi-fi,bluetooth and the works on all day you may need a socket a lot earlier.
Many complained about bad phone reception but I have had no issues so far,even if I live in a coastal/mountain area where bad cell phone reception is the rule.

HTC Desire C A320e Voucher
jj (Bridgewater, NJ United States) : I love the photo that Desire was able to take, which was one of the reasons I bought it other than good price. But after using for 1+ year, it was quite disappointing to find too many uncontrollable process running in the phone. I am quite technical but there were no available means to kill the processes. I have to charge it every night in order to use during the day for half of the day. Then need to charge again in the afternoon. If I do not charge the phone before goes to bed, even 50% battery will run dry the next day without even being used overnight. Before HTC Desire I was an IPhone user. I'm switching back to IPhone
Alexis : Excelente Telefono, no tiene nada que envidiarle a un iphone, gran cantidad de aplicaciones en Android Market, muy rapido, interface intuitiva, hasta ahora todas las aplicaciones se ejecutan muy bien, lo he probado con sim cards de los 3 operadores telefónicos en Venezuela y funciono adecuadamente, el único inconveniente que se debe tener en cuenta es lo poco que dura la bateria , opte por comprar un cargador de automovil ,en definitiva excelente inversión.
Mark K Polar : Had the phone for two weeks now and have run into a few problems. One minor problem was the language setting. The phone came from Amazon with settings for english but only from Asian countries (Vietnam, Malaysia, Pakistan etc...). No U.S. or British english settings. I found a video on YouTube on how to fix this but it involved downloading files and resetting the phone. A major pain! Not something I should of had to deal with right after taking it out of the box.
The most significant problem, however, is lack of a 3G connection and no internet connection when outside a wifi hotspot. The internet simply does not work when connecting through your carrier. Lots of people around the world have this same problem and have found various was of making it work. Unfortunately, none of those suggestions have worked for me so far. Someone posted that HTC is aware of this problem and working on a fix, but so far, nothing. This would be a fantastic phone if those problems were fixed. If you are set on getting the HTC Desire, I would wait until the bugs are worked out. Otherwise, I don't think it's worth the trouble.

HTC c620E Voucher
Gurmeet Singh (Fairfax, VA) : I have used this phone for over a month now and it is one of the best gsm phone out there on android platform. Also, love android platform and all the applications it comes with!
Phone is responsive and easy to use - one thing it could do better is set APNs when you travel around the world and want to use local sim cards - preconfigured APN settings are missing
Chris S. Walker (Hagerstown, MD, US) : The HTC Desire is a great phone, when it works. I ordered this phone from FGS Trading so that I could have it as i travel overseas (I was recently deployed to Middle East with the military). The only thing is, I am one of the hundreds of folks who got an HTC Desire with the bad motherboard that makes the phone do random reboots (Google it for HTC Desire). If I talk on the phone for more than a few minutes, "reboot". If I use the internet for more than a few minutes, "reboot". If I use the GPS even for one second, "reboot"
Mikel Ward (Mountain View, California) : Feature-wise, this phone is good.
Good web browser, good screen, acceptable music playback, excellent mail and calendar with Google sync, Facebook and Twitter integration, and a bunch of apps to make it do pretty much anything.
But I get about 8 hours out of a single charge, so I often run out of battery by 3pm.
Compared to my old Nokia E71, which had nearly as many features, but would easily last 24 hours, the HTC Desire is a huge let down.
And there are a bunch of poor design decisions: phone must be left on for alarm to work, can't check if phone is on/off without turning it on, can only have 4 browser tabs, need to have cellular coverage to use maps, etc, etc.
I'll be jumping on the first Android device with good battery life, but this phone leaves me wanting.

HTC C110E Voucher
George E. Jelly "GeorgeJ" (Heidelberg, GER) : I have had my unlocked HTC Desire for a little over two weeks. At first, I was thrilled with it because it has such a nice display and Android 2.1 runs so smoothly. In the last couple of days, though, it has developed an annoying issue and I think all potential buyers should be warned. Occasionally when placing a call, the screen will go blank and there is no way to end the call or get the display back. HTC delivered at least my Desire with this flaw - and there are some hits on Google about this. All you have to do is Google "HTC Desire screen goes blank" to see what I mean. Apparently, the proximity sensor used by HTC does not work correctly all of the time. What it should do is turn off the screen and disable the buttons when you place the phone to your ear. The faulty sensor does not turn the screen back on and enable the buttons when you pull the phone away from your ear. I am hoping the Android 2.2 update will fix this problem, otherwise I am going to return my phone before the 30-day return period expires.
WrldTraveler "kestrel300" : I ordered this phone to replace my iPhone 4 on the ATT network and use while traveling with overseas SIM cards. Additionally, I am trying to migrate away from Mobile Me and this looked like a great option. I really like the phone and the HTC Sense interface is quite nice. However, this phone does not operate on the correct frequency for the ATT's 3G data network, so all data is transfered via the EDGE network which has slow data speeds. Unfortunately, I returned the phone.
Nattensorg : The Android OS with the Sense UI runs very smoothly with the 1 GHz processor built on this phone. The applications run slick, and no problems in multitasking. The screen is very sharp and very bright, the touch control is fast and accurate, pleasant browsing experience and lots of apps to boost your phone from the Android market.
Call quality hasnt been an issue yet, no dropped calls so far. Signal reception is good, and call sound is... well, ok for a phone. The music player is very good, although it lacks an equalizer (I dont really miss it though, because music playback quality is good enough without EQ when using a better pair of headphones than the standard - I'm using the Klipsch Image S4).

HTC Droid Incredible 2 Voucher
RatherLiveInKeyWest (Central Virginia) : The replacement has been fantastic. Easy to use, great virtual keyboard/touchscreen alignment, plenty of pages to store apps on, and excellent battery life. Battery life was initially nothing to write home about, but I'd used the Easy Battery Saver app before and installed it pronto -- now the battery lasts an average of 2 to 2 1/4 days (usage depending of course). Out of the box I was probably just barely getting through the day.
Justin : I've had this phone for a year and a half. Overa
ll, it worked ok; I would encounter massive slowdowns occasionally which require a restart of the phone. Restarting the phone takes about 5 minutes.
In addition, I have had an issue where some system apps would delete themselves, making the phone useless. This required the phone to be brought back to factory settings.
ramcc : For about the first year or so, I had absolutely no problems with anything; this phone was like my baby. But then, the usb charging port got loose or something and the phone refused to charge even when it said it was charging. I had to get a new one, free with the warranty, but still annoying and frustrating. As I'm writing this, my second one is dying while plugged into the charger. After some research, I found that this is a common issue with these phones. Being in college 4 hours from home I kind of need a sturdy phone. As soon as my 2 year contract is up I'm switching phones.

HTC Inspire 4G Unlocked Voucher
Just a gyrl : I have had this phone for 5 months, and it is by far the best phone I have ever had. I have owned a very many phones over a period of 17 years. Not only did I fall in love with android, but I fell in love with HTC. I was a little leary about getting a phone I knew nothing about, but I trusted my at&t sales rep and bought it. I have had almost no problems with it. I have way to many pictures and text messages on it and it causes it to freeze up sometimes but not much(which can be expected with so much space taken up). I usually just restart it and it is fine. Every so often I go through and delete things to give it a little bit of a break lol. I have never loved a phone as much as I love this one. I have dropped it on my ceramic tile in my kitchen and bathroom and it didn't even have so much as a scratch on it. I also dropped it on my concrete steps in my garage and again nothing happened to it. I have to say if you are going to get a smart phone (or any phone for that matter) this is the one to get. It has an 8MP camera which is awesome and the color is so vibrant I can hardly stand looking or using anyone else's phone. I have to say this phone has me spoiled. When it comes time to upgrade I will get another HTC phone. Also if you lose your phone you can download an app called android lost from your computer to your phone. It will send you the last messages sent and received, phone calls, take a picture from your phone, send crazy loud "help me I'm lost" messages (the phone can be on silent and it still plays it loud), you can set the phone to lock up and notify you if a different sim card is inserted, and many more great things to find your phone. On top of all those things it gives you a gps location within 7 meters of where your phone is. Trust me it works. My phone was stolen and I used this app and it had an arrow directly on the house where the phone was. All of this is emailed to you and the person with your phone has no idea any of this is going on. Awesome phone I highly recommend it to everyone!!! If I could give it 20 stars I would.
Marek Kowalski "K.Marek" (Tempe, AZ, USA) : This is not as much a fault of the cellphone as the seller Ross electronics. I bought the cellphone in july 11 2012 and in september it started acting up by not charging corectly. As it was after the 30 day return window with amazon i decided to use my one year warranty via HTC. However when i called them up they said the cellphones IMEI number had been activated as of september 2011. Meaning my Warranty expired in september 2012!!. They basically sold me a one year old USED phone. IT ended up with me returning the phone to amazon in september 3 Months after i purchased it for a full refund. So Amazon really protected me and trusted me with my problem.
Jose Sanchez : Item listed as New and sold by Jet Set Market and fulfilled by Amazon. Item arrived in an AT&T box as expected. However, the phone itself is far from new. I am dissapointed that Amazon just chooses to do business with anyone. I choose this particular seller though the order was fulfilled by Amazon thinking that if anything it must be a good seller if Amazon fulfills their orders. There is a sticker on the outside of the AT&T box that lists IMEI number, serial number etc. I noticed right out of the box that the phone had visual damage to the front speaker part that is at the very top part of the phone

HTC Freestyle F5151 Pd53100 Voucher
Phil : I have gone through 3 replacements of this phone! It is NOT a good phone! When you get a text, it sends the same text at LEAST 2 times, the touch screen is okay, but after about a month it becomes laggy, the battery life is very bad, it heats up really fast! And for me, the first time I got the phone, about 2 months later, it wouldn't let me call people! I would press the dial pad and nothing would show up. Not a good phone! I am doing ou a favor...DO NOT GET IT!
Brie : h by the way ludicrous means humor. I don't think this even deserves one star.
Okay guys. Please do read this review, it will make a dramatic difference in whether you buy this piece of junk of not. I was so excited to be getting a new phone! Finally!I must admit, at first i was in love with this phone... untill these problems started occurring with in the next hour. I did not research on this phone, and read no reviews before i bought it... which was a HUGE mistake on my end. The only thing I knew when i purchased it was that it looked like a smartphone, except didn't have that data plan. Which made me purchase it. Little did i know that the HTC FREESTYLE IS A SORRY EXCUSE FOR A PHONE! Every single person who's ever wrote a bad review on this phone is entirely true. At least 10 times a day my phone freezes (and then i have to open up the battery compartments, and take the battery out to restart it... turning it off is not good enough. I am being truthful with you right now. When i send someone a text, several people have mentioned to me that i send them that same text at least 3 more times, and i receive the same message from people 5 at the most times. Meaning, when you send a text... that person receives your text 3 more times. And when you get a text from someone, you get that text multiple times again. Another thing i have noticed about this piece of crap is a weird screen that pops up with a red, blue, yellow, and neon green stripe saying "system error" , and then you have to turn in off (take out the battery + sim card again). And lastly, at least 7 times a day my phone will freeze in the middle of no where and say "error, restarting phone". Its superbly an annoyance. I have only had this phone for 6 days, and i hate it! I've never dropped it once... and i bought it brand new. PLEASE DON'T PURCHASE!
Stephanie : I got my HTC phone after At&t screwed me over with my smartphone and my data service's. unable to pay the money to getout of there damn contract i decided to dumb my phone down to a "basic" phone, and i must say i LOVE this phone. To me it is just like having a smartphone except i do not get the App market. but the internet is great on it, the music player works just like on my old HTC inspire. overall for $100 this phone isn't that bad. it actually reminds me of the original iphone.

HTC One, Silver Voucher
The Gun "raygunjsr" : I have been waiting for some news on the Verizon version of the HTC One and thankfully it came out just as my upgrade date rolled around. I have owned 8 other smartphones over the past several years and the HTC One is the best that I've used. It is ultra-fast with a very slick interface.
I chose the HTC One over the other offerings out there due the quality of the construction and the hardware. I have never liked the Galaxy series, as they feel cheap with their overuse of generic plastic. I have not had good experiences with Motorola hardware. I really liked the HTC Rezound that I had years ago and it's clear that HTC has put a lot of thought and research into the development of the HTC One. It is constructed on par with the iPhone. Clean lines, aluminum frame, it looks great and fits well in the hand.
ToeKnee_TM "};^)~" : I've been an HTC user for a LONG time (all the way back to the HTC Herald/T-Mobile Wing Windows 6.1 phone). In front of me on my desk, I currently have four generations of HTC Android devices: The HTC Droid Incredible, the HTC Rezound, , the HTC Droid DNA, and finally, this HTC One all for Verizon. When I first picked up my new phone, I was highly impressed by the feel of it in my hand. It was such a pleasure to hold, that I was very reluctant to put my normal case on it that slides into a holster, but I knew I had reservations about this newest HTC unit so I forced myself to put on the case. First off, the phone is an only marginal upgrade from the DNA in many respects. The One is slimmer and shorter than the DNA (One: 5.41 x 2.69 x 0.37 inches vs DNA: 5.55 x 2.78 x 0.38 inches), but the DNA weighs slightly less (One: 5.04 oz vs DNA: 4.87 oz) With the same overall resolution (1080 x 1920 pixels) the One has a lightly better Pixels per inch (PPI) than the DNA (468 vs 441). I think this is because of the slightly larger screen size of the DNA. While I had to look VERY closely, the screen on the One is slightly sharper, but I prefer the larger real estate of the 5 inch DNA screen over the 4.7 inch One.
Jim Tressel "Brandon" (Moorestown, NJ) : Let me first start out by saying that this is a very early review as I have only had my HTC One for about 3 days. First of all, this has to be one of the best looking phones ever made. I think I decided I'm not going to put a case on it as I usually do with all my smartphones...yeah, it's that good looking.

HTC DROID INCREDIBLE Voucher
strbildr : htc droid incredible is a nice upgrade from the htc eris i used for two years, i like to buy the phones new out of contract once they become slightly outdated , they still work great but i don't pay full price or get locked in. so far the incredible has been very reliable and easy to use, battery life is just fine , i use the advanced app killer all the time. so far so good, i think one thing people fail to remember is that these are phones with small batteries that some ask to do the things of a laptop all day that has a battery 100x the size . realistic expectations are required and you will be satisfied with your smart phone.
B. Janusch (Phoenix, AZ USA) : I pre-ordered this phone and got it the day it came out in April 2010. Since day one it has been a reliable phone that gets strong signal here in Phoenix. 21 months later I upgraded to a new dual-core, 4G phone only because I got the upgrade for free. I was more than ready to stay with my Incredible for even longer. The phone wasn't perfect and there were 2 clear downs to it. The first being the brightness of the screen. It was not very useful outside. This was common in all of the 1st generation AMOLED screens. Second, 3.7" is the absolute minimum screen size for a usable phone. The phone I switched to is 4.3" and there is a noticible difference. That said, the phone never gave me trouble. It could play all early generation games, was great on WiFi and 3G alike, and came with a sturdy Sense skin from HTC that I loved. On the extended battery I got an easy 18 hours of battery life, which was more than enough
Clyde : In a small office, we've used the Droid X, HTC Rhyme and Thunderbolt (which has a terrible battery) but surprisingly enough, the Incredible has been the most reliable performer !
The phone has been fast, the screen has been sharp since we've had it, the battery has been great too! I'm kinda surprised that the manufacturers didn't stick with these internal components.

HTC ThunderBolt 4G LTE Voucher
Rocman : I have been using my HTC Thunderbolt for about a year now, and I have found it to be a very powerful phone with flaws that are inherent to a 1st gen product (with regard to 4G LTE).
jj : As a broke college student I really feel compelled to write a review about this phone in particular (not the seller); I purchased the HTC thunderbolt at a Verizon store in Madison and initially, it was love at first sight. My brother had raved about it to me and sure enough, when I arrived in the store, it did not disappoint. The phone was sturdy and I actually initially preferred it to my iphone. This is what makes the HTC thunderbolt an even more disappointing experience; at it's core, it is truly a phenomenal phone. However, in time I began to have issues. The most glaring problem is the sheer and utter lack of battery life. I have always charged my phone overnight yet in the morning when I would take it to class the phone's battery life would begin to dissipate at an alarmingly fast rate
Robert K. : I can't believe that this phone gets positive reviews. It is the worst! I've had it for a year and I am considering buying a different smartphone at full price ($600) because I won't be able to get an upgrade for another year.
Main Problems:
Horrible battery life: you absolutely need to get the extended battery. The stock battery lasts about 4 hours with little use, and about 2 hours if you use the internet or gps. I charged my stock battery three times a day.

HTC T320e One-V Voucher
WarmInWinter : I've had this phone for 10 months and for about half the time I loved it and the other half it's been a real problem.
What I love most is the camera, it's very fast to focus, takes great pics outdoors and not too bad pics in good indoor light. I use it a LOT and it's the reason I want to keep this phone.
Call quality has always been good. Web browsing has been adequate for what I need although a bigger screen would be nice. But screen quality and clarity is great.
Jared : I love this little guy. Yeah it's not the fastest or the latest and greatest but it does perform really well. I use straight talk w it and sometimes att works great. I LOVE the design just beautiful for the price point. I like this phone much better than HTC one x. The battery life is fantastic lasting all day with moderate to heavy use. Call quality is clear and loud. It's running ICS right out of the box and I can make this phone into a hot spot. Love being able to expand my memory.
Cons are few. If you buy unlock expect the European charger with an adapter. The phone is a little slow since it uses a single. No front facing camera but it does have a pretty good 5 mega pixel camera. Stock keyboard is terrible but any third party app you can fix that. Don't recommend live wall paper, slows down phone.
Overall I'd buy again. I purchased the htc one x because I liked this phone so much only to sell because it was to big and battery below average. If your a causal smartphone user, want your phone unlocked, solid build quality and great ui buy this phone. She puts in a nice bang for the buck!
Nati : It is mechanically strong.
It feels good in hand.
Has very good audio.
The included earphones are good quality/
The battery time is not very good.
Other problems which i encounter are probably software related:
- The machine response becomes slow and every few days I need to restart it.
- The audio recorder does not record phone conversations. Most Play-store recorders record only one direction of the phone call.
- Multi-touch does not work in many applications
I hope for many improvements when Jellybaen becomes available for this device.
Conclusion: It is a good deal for its price, especially if you want a "non everybody has", Samsung...

HTC X310E Titan Voucher
Joana Quarshie : This phone was stated as unlocked phone. When it was purchased it was found to be a locked phone. Money was paid to unlock it. Seller was very good and refunded the unlock money back to me. This phone still keeps kicking back to the lock mode which is making it difficult to use. The technician that unlocked it stated there is a problem with the phone. I can not use it, which is very bad.
Andrick : The phone is amazing. Fast response times, great bright huge screen, the OS is the best i've ever used on a Smartphone, so easy and integrated with all your services. Great apps available. The phone body is solid metal, and sees resistant.
Had a problem with Internet Explorer Mobile that the tabs stopped working. Hard resetted the ohone only to have the problem happened again only about a week later.
TWA : To me, I don't know how I can express my rating but I am totally disapointed.
I can't recommend it to someone even if he likes it from online viewing because they tell us lies.
It is useless now. It was supposed to be Unlocked but really it is not. Now I can't used it.
I don't know what to do with it.

Sprint HTC Evo 4g Voucher
Eric S. Kipe ""FatDad"" : The Evo 4G I purchased from Amazon's merchant MidStar was defective. According to my local Sprint repair store the phone had been reprogrammed before I received it, Midstar's response was "I believe Sprint might not know how to activate the phone because we have purchased them directly from our Sprint supplier. We have also received activation instructions from them".
Really... The rep at the Sprint store was kind enough to replace the defective phone with one of their's, less than 10 minutes later I am out the door with a working phone. I guess they know how to program a phone after all.
Secondly, I was also informed that the battery that was supplied with the MidStar phone was not one of theirs. Ergo, also defective as it barely fits into the phone. $40.00 dollars later, I have a phone and battery that is what I paid for. Sprint customer service to the rescue.
Whitney : 3 Days after I got the phone it stopped charging. I went to the Sprint store for them to take a look at it and that is when I found out that the phone had been tagged "DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR" before I had even received the phone!!!! That was a complete waste of $250.00. I was very dissappointed and I will never order a product from this company again.
Rich Martin : The HTC phone is really good. It never freezes, has a responsive touch screen, and it has really fast internet and web surfing. I would definitely send the word out to everyone that this phone is a really terrific phone. It's nice on the web and very durable. It also allows you to watch videos with its awesome kick stand to hold it up. It's just like a computer, only it fits in your pocket and it sells for a price that's not bad at all. I would definitely give it a five star rating with no problems. Enjoy your new HTC EVO touch(:
Really... The rep at the Sprint store was kind enough to replace the defective phone with one of their's, less than 10 minutes later I am out the door with a working phone. I guess they know how to program a phone after all.
Secondly, I was also informed that the battery that was supplied with the MidStar phone was not one of theirs. Ergo, also defective as it barely fits into the phone. $40.00 dollars later, I have a phone and battery that is what I paid for. Sprint customer service to the rescue.

robert : I had read all the negative reviews for this phone but the good ones out weighed the bad so I decided to give it a go. The unit I was sent was defective out of the box and I remembered all the people advising against it. I contacted amazon and they immediately sent out a new phone and gave me a ups label to return the defective one @ no extra cost. The second phone has been working perfectly and amazon's superior customer service took some of the sting off of getting a non working unit the first time. On an additional note, all those warnings of poor battery life, I've gotten the battery so far to go 36 to 40 hours btwn charges. over all it has been worth the price, just be sure to buy from amazon directly as you will then have the their guaranty backing you up.
-=BlackStrike=- : I always thought that iPhone is top of the game - I mean, Apple products usually are, right?
Well, I was looking for a gift for my wife's birthday and I really didn't like price of unlocked iPhone. I'm not US citizen so I can't get it through contract, so my only option was to buy it for full price and lets be honest - it's greatly exaggerated. So, I opted to instead switch to Android phone. Woooooooooow! Hello thar! :)
Boiler98 : Overall I am very pleased with this phone. I purchased an HTC phone because I had the HTC Incredible and loved it and I wanted to stay with the same user interface. The only reason I purchased a new phone is that I am leaving Verizon and going to Straight Talk and they require a GSM phone.
