My first smartphone

Phone owned for - more than a year

It's a good phone if you don't use much camera and various applications. I gained it in June 12th, 2013, it was my first smartphone, and I liked it much but wasn't the best option. If you just care about calls, messages and lightweight applications, it's good, but currently has better options.

Living both with a Happy & a Sad face with XT530

Phone owned for - more than a year

Bought this mobile after a month of it's release in September 2011 (released on Aug 2011). Rooted the mobile in February 2012.

It's overall a good buy but there are not much service centers in India if you break your phone.
Don't feel shy to root it. As only after rooting, you get the real prowess.

WARNING: Root only if you know about it. Otherwise, stay away!!
If you hard brick your mobile, even service center can't help you with that.
