Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This phone can NOT be rooted. Thank you to the individual who commented on the previous version of my review. Yes, the majority of users are unlikely to care, but for those who do, don't buy this phone. And in response to the mention of a Japanese root file, whatever. As far as I'm concerned, no practical way to root it. On the other hand, minimal bloat. One surprise that I discovered after owning this phone is that Kitkat does not allow apps to be moved to the SD card. I had a lot of trouble setting up my phone to save media to the sd card so it's not eating internal memory. Occasionally I get calls but the phone won't pickup. I'm very selective about apps I put on the phone. Two gigs are used, two are free, I try to keep it that way and stick to the default apps for messaging and dialer. I've had the phone for almost a year. I'm bumping my review up to four stars. It was pegged at three for quite awhile because I was having trouble saving images to sd then editing them. I still think it's more hassle than it needs to be but that may have more to do with the os than the phone. For the money, I'd be surprised if there was anything available that's substantially better.
