Since I prefer not to have Google store anything more than needed, the first thing I did was to backup my previous phone contacts to the SIM card and SD card.

The net work is not very fast unless you connect wifi because this phone only supports 3G/ 2G and part of carriers, so I would suggest you to ask your carrier whether they suppot the band that this phone support before purchasing

If you plan to stream TV on a phone data plan, in which case of course you already know 3G is as fast as you get on this phone, which is good but could be better if your plan already supports 4G.
