I have held a few android phones, this is the first i own though. the features are awesome. no lags, no reboots..in short no issues. and for basic use, battery is good. no compatibility issues. i was scared to buy a outlying brand, but just take my word for it.

Can't get better for price!

For the price this is a great phone, it's fast, the screen is good, it comes with a 8gb SD card, my calls are all clear and the Android apps are endless, not to mention it is unlocked and easy to carry around. Very configurable re battery and works awesome on WLAN or 3G.

HUAWEI Impulse 4G U8800 GSM Unlocked Android Cell Phone

I had already tried this phone out with Consumer Cellular, but they couldn't get the one they sold me unlocked, so I sent it back. I ordered this phone because I already decided I liked the phone. It has a screen size easy enough to read email and web pages, but not so big as to be a battery hog.

Pros:
  • Good looks
  • built well
  • decent overall performance
  • good web experience
  • great value for money
Cons:
  • Limited battery
  • screen overwhelmed by sunlight

Had no objections regarding reception. Display is LCD, so you won't like it if you switch from AMOLED. Battery sucs, as with every other current smartphone. Design is nothing astonishing. Will get the job done. I disliked its build quality.
