I opted for this device due to the price / performance ratio, after I realized that a reasonable device with a hardware keyboard simply beyond my price range. Meanwhile, I'm pretty well with the touch operation, also because the display is not too small. Compared to the "top" devices such as Galaxy S4, HTC One or Xperia Z it is smaller and easier to handle. Compromises must be done in the computing power, but what awaits the buyer? Will you realize what you really use and what is important in your smartphone life, I need it to communicate on the go (Whatsapp, Facebook, telephone, email, SMS) and not use it as a PC replacement, but as a mobile complement very successful. Meanwhile I'm using Android 4.2.2 with not too many apps and regret buying at all!
