Are the cons regarding lack of memory to install apps valid or are users just being too picky? I'm in between this phone&amp;the Samsung Victory. Which?

I have only been able to add a couple apps. Does not hold many at all and does not support apps on the memory card. Also it shows i have 10% Available in memory but wont let me add even a 2mb ringtone. I do not recommend this phone.

Sorry, I don't have an answer here but I was wondering partially the same thing. The link that brought me here stated that it has 2GB of RAM, but here it only shows 1GB. My decision to buy hinges on this, as I have no desire to go back to a 1GB phone.

You should look on Youtube for instructions on how to install Google Play or the play store. I've been using mine with no problem, excepts that it wont install the largest apps (1MB or more)

I've read a lot about this phone not having enough memory on it. However, there is a way around the memory issue that is quite simple. Every time you download a new app from the Google Play store, do not open it immediately. Exit the browser and go to the APPMGR. Then, go to INSTALLED APPS and click on your new download. You should see a section that says "Move to internal memory" and click on it. Once you do that, it frees up the main phone memory and allows you to move your downloads to the internal memory. So far, I've downloaded Skype, Netflix, Pandora, Zedge, Tracfone airtime balance app and FB messenger. And by moving each app to internal memory before I open it, I still have plenty of room still left to add a few more apps later on. Hope that helps you out, because it's worked well for me.

apps have to be stored to phone memory, which there just not enough of. and the factory apps that you don't use cant be uninstalled. memory card is only good for music, videos, storage of text messages, mms, and pictures.

I only use my phone to call, text and to listen to Nokia radio station which feature different countries. So I don't need a lot of memory. If ur asking I'd I received the wrong order- No. Hope this will help

I just reset the memory in my Huawei Glory because I'm no longer using it and hope to unload it. The storage settings I read on the screen are as follows: Total Space: 2.71GB; Apps: 91.40MB; Audio: (music, ringtones) 32.00KB; Available: 2059GB, 5.07MB for applications only. This is with no SD card; only the default apps, ringtone and settings. Maybe if you root it, it could be a good phone, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Well... phone I had months ago didn't bring SD Card on the other hand has a slot so no issues with that.My 2 cents... try to get a fast SD card to ensure performance to storage photos and apps in order to off load internal memory.

Not great! Actually if you're planning to install a lot of apps, you'll need to consider rooting it in order to intall app2sd from Play Store and link most of them to the sd card! Otherwise, you'll be getting a your-storage-is-full message after downloading a couple of apps! No es la gran cosa. De hecho si planeas instalar muchas aplicaciones deberías considerar rutearlo para poder intalar apps2sd que es una applicación que te permite enlazar la mayoría de las aplicaciones a la tarjeta. Si no te va a estar saliendo un mensaje que tienes la memoria llena con unas pocas aplicaciones que descargues! Not great!

I've had this phone for less than a month but so far, I've had no issues. I opted to buy from Amazon instead of Virgin Mobile because it was $50 cheaper. I have not regretted that decision. Shipping was swift and Virgin Mobile had no issues activating the phone. Keep in mind; you will need to purchase a micro SD card for memory if you plan to store music, apps, and/or lots of photos and videos. I recommend getting this at the same time as your phone. Short answer: totally satisfied with this phone.

Some people have managed to get it to work... others have not. To be honest, do not buy it. Mine crapped the bed after a month and half. It never worked for me. I just got the Galaxy s4 and not a moments regret. I think it is worth paying double to get it. The V3 was a $200 waste.... or whatever I paid for it.

Actually, I stopped using it about three months after I bought it. The system ran too slow for me, so I spent a lot of time waiting for pages to load. It also had a habit of locking up, so I'd have to unplug it and plug it back in to restart. It has a poorer experience rating than a Motorola Droid X2, in my opinion. Though; not as glitchy as the X2, it's close enough not to be pleased. That coupled with it not being snappy and the fact you can't block ads and redirects makes an irritating experience. Mind you, this is based on my experience with this device approximately 10-12ft away from the a/b/g/n router. Also, I should add that a friend of mine bought one as well and did not have the same functionality. She couldn't install adobe Flash and therefore couldn't play .flv files. In my opinion, these things need to go back to R&D. Then upgrade all the components and re-release it. If it were as snappy as and iPad Gen1 or Samsung Galaxy S3 and charged $200-250, it would be worth it. Hope this helps..

you are free 5.47gb internal memory, ram consumes around 700mb with basic applications, excellent phone gets slow not ever recommend 1000%

No, because NOOK and Samsung use all of their available system memory to store Apps. So on my 16GB model, I have almost 13GB to store Apps. Many other lower cost tablets only give you about 1GB to store Apps.

It's awful... Only 380MB, I can't update most of the apps, and I can't even download more than 4 apps (social ones like whatsapp, instagram, twitter and BBM, which are the ones that I have) besides it keeps telling me the apps stop working... I would go for another option, I'm eager to change mine!
