seemed too good a deal to pass up, liking it so far.
being that my current phone is a evo v from virgin mobile, this is quite the update. While a bit off topic, this allows me to finally test out t-mobile's network here since i got the unlocked version. Speed wise i'm rather impressed with 13mb+ for 4g non-lte, esp. coming from 0.5-2mb sprint 3g. The main thing being while in the city and to the west of the city it's great, but to the north and east there's supposedly nothing.
Back to the phone, so far i like the active display part where moving the phone at all shows the time, along with being able to say "ok google" with screen off, or pretty much anywhere it seems. I like the see through top bar and buttons on the bottom, but one thing i've notice is that the onscreen buttons pretty much take up as much of the screen as the hardware buttons on my current phone. With that the screen doesn't really seem any larger, though i'd assume that's pretty much the case with any button less android device. Also I had the prompt to upgrade to 4.4.3 from first boot so that was nice also.
While i currently have no intention on actually keeping it, never did, it'll be a nice test platform for kitkat and t-mobile.
