Review: Nifty little phone - I bought this as a replacement for my Galaxy Nexus when it had to go to the shop for repair. I wanted an android phone as everything would be synced from the cloud and so it did. For the price this is a great little phone. There is however only one downside which is the internal memory is too low. I know a lot of apps can be moved to the SD card , but there are still quite a few apps that cannot and there is a limit on how many of those can be installed because of the restriction in the size of internal memory. If that could be increased this would be an excellent entry level android phone.
Review: Pretty Decent Phone But Limited Use Of Apps/Downloads Please Read... - I decided to buy the htc Explorer as a cheap option to join the world of android phones as my budget was pretty tight. Overall I think that it is a great phone to have, and don't let me put you off getting one, but here are the few issues I have had with the phone: However, being a 17 year old teenager I was very disappointed with the internal memory of the phone which I did not really take into account before hand. Although I have a memory card for it, I soon came to find that most of the apps available on the market, certainly the most used such as Facebook, Twitter, BBC news ect. are all required to be stored on the internal memory, which, after software necessary for the phone to function is installed, only leaves around 90mb available for such apps. With some apps you are able to download them and move to the SD card but if you have already used your 90mb of internal memory then you can not download it in order to transfer it over. It is pretty sad that there is no option to save it to the external memory card when downloading apps. I have also noted that because of this lack of storage, software updates for the actual phone can not be downloaded if your apps fill you internal memory. I have only had this phone for a month and already there has been 1 update for the software which is 25mb in size which leaves me wondering 'how many more will there be over the time I have this phone?' One final thing is that because of the low spec 3mp camera BAR SCANNING apps to compare prices of items online do not work, or at least I have not found one on the market that has of yet. When buying the phone I thought that I would not need it as I don't regularly use cameras on the phone but now it seems Im missing out on apps which require high spec cameras or even forward facing cameras which this phone does not have.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great phone for its price
*by E***I on 3 September 2012*

An entry level, low end Android phone which does much more than you expect considering its low price. Pros -Stunning performance for most of every day tasks (browsing, mail, games). -No need for external case, its "rubber" exterior can protect it from a fall ( tested :D ) -HTC quality phone Cons -Battery life: Two days maximum with almost no usage except some calls, less than one day with excessive wireless/3g usage. Example: battery drop to less than 50% (from fully charged) after 1 hour of gaming -Internal memory: i thought that the small amount of memory would not be a problem since it has a memory card, but it seems that this is not true, many must-have applications (Facebook, Twitter, Google Maps and much more) can not be moved to sd card. Apart from that, most applications don't have an option for save data location which are stored in internal memory so you should clear your application data/cache once in a while. This also has seems to be a problem while updating an application, for example if you have a 20Mb application installed (either on internal memory or in sd card) and you want to update it having 15Mb of internal memory free, this can not happen since there is not enough empty space fot the application to be downloaded even though this space will be emptied after application is updated. Finally keep in mind that even if an application can be moved to sd card, some of its contents remain in the internal memory.
