Got this model 2 months ago...(1st Android phone)
Things i 'like' about it ;
Compact, in everyday use.
Seems smooth enough running Ginger Bread.
Good screen performance for size.
Camera ok for snaps.
Accessible battery.
USB OTG allows me to connect my Panasonic TZ15, great for uploading shots to the net while ...on the go.
Just about useable for video calling (skype tested).
Things i don't 'like' about it ;
Memory not big enough, both in user storage and processing, although IceCreamSandwich update allows for better APP control, ICS uses more resources to run, overall improvement questionable, only updated 2 days ago though...ICS does seem more 'user-abble'.
USB OnTheGo compatability a mixed bag, only certain external memory cards/sticks work (depends on how much power they consume)
Battery life could be better, if you are a heavy daily user, you will need at least one spare battery.
Video performance poor for 720p.
