I previously had a KYOCERA A-4710 which I purchased since I liked the government issued Kyocera, I had for 14 years. The A-4710 was only 3G so I could no longer use it. I am happy once again to have a Kyocera phone. This E4830 Epic is easier to use than my last Kyocera and I'm glad to get back all the military grade features regarding its durability. I hesitated to buy this phone for over a year because I knew it was a bit heavier and larger than my last one which I did not like that, but I decided I really wanted the features it provides. If there is another con it would be the battery needs to be charged a bit more often than I would prefer but overall, I am glad I finally made this purchase. It is nice it has a camera but is not a high quality one. I use this as my personal phone.
