US Cellular HTC Merge Android Smartphone Review

I was so lucky to be able to review the HTC Merge with US Cellular Service for one week. I really enjoyed the phone, it has a ton of great features and the service was great as well. logo-usc

I love that this Android Touchscreen Smartphone can be used as a touch screen but also has a slide out keyboard I can use as well. This made it really easy for me to type quickly and efficiently, I found both keyboards extremely easy to use.

I love that the phone comes with a lot of apps already loaded on it. Then I used the Android market to download even more apps and fun games. I also love that I was able to quickly sync all my Gmail info and had everything (even my contacts) available to me instantly.

I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of pictures I was able to take with the camera since it is 5 MP and has a flash they were really good pictures. Like I said before this phone had US Cellular cell phone service on it and the service was really good. I didn’t have any problems with dropped calls or interrupted service. I even had internet service and it was quick and reliable. I was really happy with both the quality and features of the phone as well as the service.
