First: stop linking to first impressions and videos from March. That was an earlier model and, as someone who's had it in hand, it's much faster now. Diginfo has a good video of it on YouTube.
Second: it is NOT made by Kyocera, it is made by Sanyo and they make quality phones. Kyocera has very little to actually do with this phone.
Third: if you have Cricket and you don't want an Android, fine - don't get this phone. People are excited to get it because it will be the best phone Cricket has to offer. Cricket has good coverage and good speeds, it's about time we get a good phone to go wit hit. We don't think it's the hottest thing on the market, no - we just want and need a good phone.
