I put it in water a few times and the phone is great.<br /><br />User available memory for apps and such is very nice, mine came with around 900mb available for use. So i added a 32gb card for music, movies ect, and it meets all my needs. NOTE be VERY careful when installing the SD card, its in a ZIF socket under the battery. Remember "ZIF" = Zero Insertion Force. Slide it into the pop up slot and gently press down.<br /><br />Enjoy :)</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3771 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3771&r=41039#review41039 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3771&r=41039#review41039 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 18:00:03 GMT <p><i>miltsee51 submitted this review of the Kyocera Hydro:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>0</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Battery life is not what it claims to be. I should not have to charge once /day. not when the phone is not in constant use. The phone is on the eco mode.<br />Why should I have to travel with a charger? surely you can do better than that</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3771 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3771&r=40809#review40809 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3771&r=40809#review40809 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 17:50:59 GMT <p><i>tsimpson submitted this review of the Kyocera Hydro:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Every single feature on a phone is average to slightly better on this one except:<br /><br />Display. Look at the specs here, and if you can live with that you'll do fine. It doesn't wash out in sunlight nearly as bad as some other phones I've had (ZTE Warp, I'm lookin' at you).<br /><br />Camera. The ZTE Warp (again ...) despite popular reviews has a FANTASTIC camera. The Hydro ... not so much. It's OK. Just OK, not horrid or anything.<br /><br />Thanks to ICS this thing runs silky smooth for the specs.<br /><br />Decent earpiece speaker and external. Good signal. Just the right size for me. Easily worth $50 more than it costs IMO. Very Happy. Using on Boost Mobile.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3771 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3771&r=40801#review40801 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3771&r=40801#review40801 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 18:38:34 GMT <p><i>Lazzer_D submitted this review of the Kyocera Hydro:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Kyocera Hydro... It's the first smart phone I've ever owned... I couldn't have picked a better phone...<br /><br />Pros: Where do I start...<br /> 1} Waterproof and Milk-proof... yes Milk-proof...<br /> Dropped mine in a glass of milk by accident... <br /> No Problem B-)<br /> 2} Fast and easy to text, email, Internet access...<br /> With Boost mobile {Sprint}<br /> 3} Swype feature it's unreal...<br /> 4} Do I dare say more... Why aren't you at the store.<br /> I would give this phone a 5 star rating...<br /><br /> Cons: I can't think of one single bad thing to say...<br /> No joke... All around Awesome phone B-)</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3771 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3771&r=40799#review40799 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3771&r=40799#review40799 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 17:23:44 GMT <p><i>cPhoneJunky submitted this review of the Kyocera Hydro:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Well.. I have had alot of cell phones with BoostMobile in a short time as my handle reads I'm a cPhoneJunky!<br />I had the prevail, marquee, and now the hydro.<br /><br />Pros:<br />Android Ice Cream Sandwich<br />Long battery life with Juice Defender<br />(7am-6pm before new charge)<br />Is waterproof - I put bottom half of phone in a glass of water. No problem!)<br />Takes awesome photos<br />NO contract with BoostMobile - Month to Month<br />$40 per month after Shrinkage Plan for unlimited data, text &amp; talk<br />good size - can get out of pocket fast unlike marquee<br />nice textured removable back plate<br /><br />Cons:<br />slippery phone at first until you adjust to it..<br />no front facing camera, which i never used on my marquee so no big deal.<br /><br />I have had this phone for only a week and think its got it all. Without a battery saver app it falls short but that is an easy fix. =] A MUST have device and for the PRICE it is even BETTER! 5 stars!!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3771 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3771&r=40785#review40785 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=3771&r=40785#review40785 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 06:45:48 GMT <p><i>RabbidFoot submitted this review of the Kyocera Hydro:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>At last . . . $129 phone with WiFi, 4G, touch screen, and Android 4, and all the stuff that go with it.
