I am also digging the hell outta this phone. It works great. Got mine used (for 3 days) from an Ebay top seller and it's been fantastic! My buddy picked up one from the Boost store when it was on massive sale and has nothing but problems, paid like 50 bucks for it brand new. I'm wondering if Boost selling "busted" versions of this phone on the cheap to clear them out? Anyone else get it on the cheap at a Boost store and have tons of problems?

I've had the phone for about six months. Got it a couple of weeks after it came out. Had been a great phone ,plenty of memory ect. Like I said had been a great phone until Saturday morning. I checked some emails and stuff and after a couple of minuets it rebooted turned back on than shut back off than went Chernobyl on me and near caught fire. Had to pop the back cover off undo a couple of screws and pop off the battery connector burning the cr@p out of my finger. Needing my phone for work ect. I ran out to all the Boost stores and was gonna upgrade to the G3 of Flex 2. out of five boost stores one had the Flex 2 in stock and the SOB tried to charge me nearly $400 out the door.I don't think so. So back to the closest Boost store to my house where they offered the Tribute 5 for $80 bucks. I dident want that phone but hey it works. My last ZTE phone,the Supreme lasted 2 years and only broke because my dumb a$$ bricked it because my lack of android knowledge at the time. Long story short screw this phone.I babied it,never dropped it always used the charger that came with it and it went nuclear on me :^(
