 See it for what it is...Jul 21, 2011
By Jose
Online I've seen people bash this little phone because they fail to see it for what it is...a budget android phone. For $79 people expect this little guy to be on par with the most advanced phones out there. Yes it lacks the bells and whistles that other phones have, yes it is small, yes it's camera isn't equal to an SLR - but if you stop and think about what this phone is you'll see that it's a pretty decent little unit for those who's needs it meets. You have to see what MetroPCS is doing - they're creating a "step ladder" of phones that meet the varying needs of smartphone customers and give all their customers the ability to try android to see how they like it. This phone would be the base level on that ladder - if your needs are greater then you could check the next rung up which would be the Huawei Ascend, if that does not meet your needs then you would check the next rung which would be the LG Optimus M, if that doesn't meet your needs you could continue until you get to their top tier phone offerings. For $79 and $50 monthly service you get a smartphone with 500mhz processor, android 2.2.2, basic camera (no flash), access to the marketplace, wifi, unlimited calls, text and web. The phone is not the fastest processor-wise, the scrolling on the menus is a bit laggy, but not anything to affect phone function. The camera is basic, but nothing too much worse than what is on the LG Optimus M (also on Metro PCS). Calls are ok, and texting takes a while to master on the small screen; if you use swype this is alleviated a bit. Wifi works without a hitch, and GPS hones in on your position within a reasonable amount of time. I tried google maps and MetroNavigator and found them to be functional and useful. The only downside to this phone is the bloatware - since the processor isn't the fastest having all these useless apps running in the background contributes to the phone lagging up. I think that if the bloatware was removed it would run better. I have yet to try any games, but surmise that Angry Birds (free version) would lag up because of the adds. What really makes this unit stand out is the "DTS" for the music playback - I was suprised that this little dude beat out my Optimus M when playing back music on Slacker Radio over the built in speaker. The music was not awe inspiring, but sounded fuller and truer than on other similar phones.
All in all this is a great phone for those who want to see what the Android hype is all about without paying through the nose. You get a fully functional smartphone with data, at the cost of performance and features. If this sounds good to you, buy it you won't be disappointed. If you're looking for more I would recommend you start at the Optimus M and work your way up. If more people would follow this advice they wouldn't be knocking this little guy constantly.

It's OK.Jul 15, 2011
By Tru Blu
For $80, this phone is a decent bargain. It's pretty close to the smallest Android phone(definitely the smallest at its price), and the battery life is decent. Call quality can be choppy sometimes. Those with huge digits will have trouble texting since the touchscreen keyboard is tiny. Watching videos requires patience because after it runs a video for a few seconds it freezes to load another minute or so before it resumes. It comes with a memory card which is a plus. The camera is below-average on quality, and the speakerphone phone function could be stronger. On the plus side, it plays some apps/games well. Quick, or even reasonably quick, downloading will require a very strong WiFi connection. For 50 bucks a month (55 or 56 with insurance), it's a good rate. Boost can match that but they'll require 40 to 60 more bucks for a phone that's clearly a notch or two better than this one.

 alight phone but seller send me a defective oneFeb 16, 2012
By Lance213
Phone seem okay it specs are not that of a top notch phone but it should do what it said it can do but seller send me a damaged defective one all and all if you don't have the money to buy one of the expensive than this is a good enough phone for you. Also The Huawei M835 Keeps Restarting by itself let me explain i would turn on the phone than do whatever i was doing with it than when am done i usually do not turn off the phone but instead i turn off the phone display. When you turn off the phone display and then turn it back on there is a lock screen this is where it restart by itself i would turn off the display put the phone on standby and than leave the phone there. But than like 5-10 minutes later the phone would restart itself i could hear the metropcs sound and than check on the phone and see that it was rebooting it self. Now this only happen if i turn of the phone display if i turn the phone completely off than it does not turn it self back on also when i am using the phone it does not restart no matter how long i used it for but when i turn off the display 5-10 minutes later it would always restart for no reason.

 NICE LITTLE PHONENov 17, 2011
By GEOATL
I got this phone a few months ago and I enjoy it. This is not my first smart phone but for the money I would buy it again. Its a small phone that does what I payed for. for those who say the battery does not last long if you turn off the wifi it will be better. I have a lap top a tablet I need a phone to be a phone and I like this one.

Sufficient for your needs.Aug 23, 2011
By CBB
This is a very good phone for the price. It's suited for everything I could NEED to use it for. I have also owned a few Apple products and in my opinion, they have a lot of excess features I'd rather not have had to pay for. I was quite pleasantly surprised when I found it uses MicroSD. I just so happen to have the adapter and even the slot in my laptop for it, which proves a lot more convenient than having to mail pictures.
