"Poor quality and I had to replace 2 times"

Overall

3.6

I purchased this phone in the summer of 2011 and by Christmas, it was already becoming slow. There were only 2 updates and it became a hassle to use. I replaced it once because it crashed and another time because it wouldn't hold a charge, even when the battery was full. I still have my third one but the volume rocker was broken when I got it. I just didn't feel like replacing it again:( I am getting the Samsung Galaxy S III next week and I can't wait to get rid of this phone!
