I ended up getting one, partly because the price was $39 and I thought it would be worth it to get the year free Skype credit $10/month and Office 365 that was offered.
Mostly I've got gripes about the phone, but with a couple of good points. I would advice against getting it. Here is why.
The phone feels nice, it doesn't look and feel like a $40 phone. The screen brightness and readability is better then the specs suggest, and the camera on automatic was taking nice pictures. The keyboard is responsive enough,
Gripe #1, It's been burning through stupid amounts of data. I'm usually always in wi-fi, so typically I don't have much of problem with a 2.5 Gig limit / month. This phone burned thru the limit in 6 days, and I haven't found a settings that says which app is the culprit.
Although I like the automatic photos from the camera, onec it froze until I rebooted the phone.
Worse is that trying to use two apps at once stinks. Its just slow to cut and paste from one app, and paste into a second app.
I very much miss the Google Apps, Chrome, Maps, Docs, etc. The MS version of maps isn't as good. ' Other apps either don't exist, or have lower standards for user interface. I rely on a bus prediction app, on the windows phone they lacked the equivalent features and had lesser interface. All too frequently, I am annoyed with the limitations of the phone.
Finally, while I bought it as a cheap way to get Skype and Office 365, so many reports are coming out that Windows 10 is a privacy nightmare, that I've begun to lean toward not putting windows 10 on any of my personal hardware.
