The 640 XL has a killer battery. For me, it goes the entire day (from 5AM until midnight on a single charge ending at 40% which includes Bluetooth on all day connected to my Band, frequent texting, reading emails and viewing webpages often, on the phone for about an hour talking). My old 925 would've run out of juice by 3 PM. The camera takes beautiful pictures both front and rear. For a phone its size, it fits perfectly in my pants pocket and using it one-handed is very manageable. I love the interchangeable cases that are available.... Mine definitely stands out as an orange phone in a sea of bland black, gray, and white smartphones that I see around. There are more but I am just listing the pros off the top of my head.
