I had two android phones previously and decide to get a vanilla android experience. I was not disappointed. The outside is good looking and very comfortable in the hand. I have rather large hand so i can reach every corner of the screen. The camera takes quick pictures when you want them yet if you hit the screen it focuses and takes great pictures. The 4g signal has been great. I live in Appleton Wisconsin and work on the south side of Menasha, Wisconsin I never loose 4g throughout the day. Android 4.0 is a completely new experience. Any pet peeve i had about android is gone. The biggest upgrade is the integration across my tablet cell phone and computer.
