So far, I like it. But its definitely a two hands device. I made the mistake of wasting $30 on the Invisible protector for front and back. I didn't realize you only get one of each. And of course, I put the front one on poorly and it looks awful.
This will be a phone ill have to use my Bluetooth more for. Can't see holding this up to my ear to talk all the time.
Dave - get a good case for the device - something that buffers the front screen, as well as the camera lens, doesn't have to be thick, just add some grip (& protection).
As far as taking calls, holding it up to your ear has it's advantages. It'll allow you to
hide from ex-girlfriends / ex-wives, simply by pretending to take a call - a very effective DND. Seriously, you get used to it & don't even think about it - especially with the proliferation of
phablets of all flavors. You can actually fill out web forms (6" screen) & provides a single, multi use device - I do use mine as an eReader during my commute.
In addition, it's definitely a conversation starter !
