On'Off button is stuck. Only works if you use a pin. Condition far from "excellent" as rated. This is the second device that arrives in poor condition.

I'm happy with the phone. Big nice and clear screen, and works very well. Only negative thing was that the Orange logo comes on in startup, and stays on a while. I have not tried a link I was sent yet to remove it. Battery is good enough. So far everything seem fine
