Seems like a solid phone. I have an Galaxy SII & it's very similar.

Looks like my htc desire hd... I love it. Make sure you drop 50 bux on an OtterBox case for it, you wont be sorry. Ive dropped mine a million times and it works fine. The one time i drop it out of the otterbox i cracked the screen.

Thank I'll check out the model for this phone,don't wanna beef it up with
A fat case, I'm thinking a nice case with a kickstand + I'm usually pretty
Good at taking of of my phone and should something happen,that's why

Looks and sounds like a solid phone. I'm currently rocking a Moto Atrix 2 and it's pretty similar. I'm looking at upgrading soon though. I'm longing for Android 4.0

Doesn't a Moto Atrix 2 use an android system? If so you should be able to get Ice Cream Sandwich - newest android OS. ver. 4.0.4

kay i went and got the phone set up today with the new mini sim card, so after i left the store i noticed it was only on 2g/edge network...didnt think much of it cuz when they set up my old phones it took a few hours for the data to sync properly,so after half a day still on 2g,tried reseting,pulling out the sim and reinserting it,and nothing helped. googled the problem i was having and found out these phones received an update a week ago and this is causing the problem with the network,plenty of people are reporting this problem with this phone,love the phone and i know this is an update software issue but its been a week+ and nothing should i be worried or just wait it out for them to release a new update to resolve this problem? jeez 2g is super slow. .atleast when im home i have it connected to wifi so im fine. sorry for the long post just needed to vent this frustration i guess

Support: Warning: HTC One S 4.0.4 update - Phone stuck on Edge / 2G

This is a new phone from whomever your carrier is, right?
Take it back to them or the service center they say to use & have them flash it. It should all be under warrenty.
