got this from amazon.co.uk for my wife... theoretically good fast phone and nice looking (bit big though compared to iPhone imho)

Unfortunately seems to freeze and lock up occasionally - so only thing can do to reset is to take battery out, tried all updates, HTC firmware updates etc. still not sure why....

Everything looked right... but it turned out that this phone was produced for the Far East market. There is English, and the phone is useable, but there are subtle differences and shortcomings from the UK version (my son has the European version so I can compare precisely). So beware.

This phone of course is exactly the same as the XE that comes with the dre whatever, headphones. I bought the lite as don`t use headphones, was only 292quid at the time of purchase and didn`t fancy paying 100quid for headphones.A few reviews have shown they are not as good as cracked out. Review sites mention them as if they are actually a free gift-- they most certainly are not.

This phone is no doubt the best I have ever used. Screen is clear with nice non gaudy colours, as in Galaxy S3, too acrylic intense for my eyes. iBBC runs very well on it. Have watched couple of hour and a half programmes on it and never once stalled. Good enough screen to enjoy what you are watching. Reading books, mmm, well, I did read Minority Report but I felt as if my rt thumb was getting cramped up, so many pokes needed.

Internet browsing is so fast it doesn`t seem possible for a phone. My daughter has iPhone 4s and we compete for speed, she is beaten on any page she chooses. Techradars review pages leave her well behind. 4S is still quick, but!

Messaging is easy enough to use, plenty of room on keyboard. Android system gives you so much to do, with so many hidden menus it can be rather complex to use, ok if like me you have used Android before. Straight from the "designed-for-kids-iphone" and you going to have to get a big thinking cap on, as will be in for a right culture shock.

The camera is first rate, was amazed when started using it at quality of pictures. Again my daughter and I have had a pic competition, difficult call as 4S camera is very good indeed.Have posted some pics on this page. Am no Bailey but should show quality, I hope. One stunning phone and worth every penny spent on it. Of course it looks real good too.
