HTC Vivid (black, AT&T)

 

It's always exciting ushering in the first thing of its kind, and in this case, it's HTC's first 4G LTE smartphone for AT&T. It runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread and the HTC Sense 3.0 interface. It also comes with a hearty helping of high-end specs,...

The HTC Vivid has a nice, large screen, an excellent camera, and great specs all around. It supports 4G LTE as well

Mediocre call quality on the Vivid and a cheap plastic chassis dampen the experience. The battery obstructs access to the microSD card

If you can overlook the cheap plastic design, the HTC Vivid delivers an all-around excellent user experience at a palatable price.

"I love this phone enought said!"

 

People have commented on how its looks like its made out of cheap plastic..honestly I don't see it.I don't really have nothing more to say so bye..lol

I wanted to buy a phone with a good camera..and this is exactly what I got.Everyone complements on how clear the pictures look.

Its a little on the big side I was used to having a small cell phone before.

"Bad warranty and after-sales service. Bad manufacture"

 

I really like my cellphone until the charging port is broken after 8 months very gentle usage. Then I compared the microUSB port on my vivid with my

Good resolution

Cheap charging port. Good product idea but manufacture uses very cheap components. Not worth the money.

"Worst phone ever"

 

This is the worst phone I have seen in my entire life. Heats up while charging and during a call and as a result doesn't respond to touch, hence can't pick up a call or end a call. Seriously HTC? Are you kidding me!! Had to replace with another one...

First phone on At&T to have ICS.

Something wrong with the data connection. When I turn off wifi sometimes it turns on automatically, mobile data turns on automatically, media volume stops until I restart the phone, very heavy. Heats up and becomes unreponsive.

"It's huge!"

 

I had to buy replacement phone. The iPhone4 that I bought refurbished was dead and I'm unemployed. I got this phone for $50. For $50 it rocks! I even got to pick the color.

It's huge.. I thought that would be a negative but it fits in my hand well.

Facebook tries to take over the phone. I had a similar problem with Blackberry in 2007, never had that problem with iPhone.

"Excellent phone, easy update to Android 4.0"

 

Excellent phone; I even used it while in the UK, a true world phone

HTC Sense 3.6 and Android 4.0; HTC build quality; ease of use; 4G LTE; microSD expansion

Battery life is poor. Get the SaFPWR Fusion 2 (or similar) to increase battery life.

"Well worth every penny!!!"

 

This phone is great! I had an iPhone 4S before I purchased this and I do not regret the switch. This phone with the 4G LTE network out does the iPhone everyday of the week and twice on Sunday. After I purchased the phone I was able to download the...
