I haven't had an Android smartphone for a long time.. and I was and still am a bit hesitant about how to proceed. I was wondering if I had problems if I could contact you... by phone but the exact number to reach you... is???

Phone condition excellent. Not a scratch on it and works rapidly with good battery life. I've previously had the identical phone brand new and don't notice the difference between this and a brand new phone - other than the price.

Everything works fine. The first few days, the battery discharged very quickly. As I'm currently immobilised, I haven't yet been able to test the life track function to see if it's sufficient for a 4 or 5 hour bike ride.

So far, everything’s fine; the only criticism I could make is that it wasn’t set to French when I switched it on – otherwise, it’s worked very well and was very well packaged
