Robert Weiner

The phone came with Facebook, Google Maps, Gmail, Kindle, Weather, YouTube, and lots of navigation and entertainment apps. I installed a battery meter app that shows the charge as a percentage and could watch the charge drain away any time the phone was on. It's hard to see the screen in bright sunlight.
