The R1 HD can be had from Amazon.com for $49.99 for the 8gb version with 1gb of RAM or, in the case of the one reviewed here, $59.99 for the 8gb/2gb version. Amazon can do this for Prime members by adding lock-screen ads to the mix. Those of you without Prime will pay $40.00 more for each version, but with these specs and build quality, it's still a relative bargain.
The ads from Amazon are unobtrusive to say the least. You'll never see one when you're using the phone and I hardly even notice them on the lock screen. The screen itself is only 720P but you'd never guess it. Everything looks great with terrific color saturation and excellent viewing angles. It has yet to fail to do anything I've thrown at it. The quad core processor and two gigs of RAM make using the phone a smooth and satisfying experience. Spend the extra ten bucks for this model over the 1gb/8gb model. It's well worth it.
The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that it has a weird tendency to reboot itself once in a while. Hopefully, this will be corrected in an upcoming software update.
A great screen, a zippy processor. 2gb of RAM and 16gb of storage. For $60.00?! Are you kidding me? Buy one.
