Pros

1.Bigger most notable screen than I expected, since it is only 0.3 inches larger on paper. Writing is a little better, but it remains difficult in portrait mode. It feels more colorful and vibrant, but that could just be me (maybe I'm in the way of hallucination "Wohoo my new phone"). The resolution is equal to V.

2. Better processor/OS-200Mhz higher and 2.3 Gingerbread (VO is 2.2). Much fewer delays in applications. It can handle desktop websites better (with some delays) with flash (wireless recommended). Auto switching between landscape and portrait is much faster than V, so it really became the difference in the improvement V. large video playback. I did not need to download additional codec’s to play videos converted.

3. Flash-Phone support is not powerful enough to handle big sites like daily show / Colbert / etc in high resolution video (audio only ice cream), but he managed to handle South Park, gaming sites, etc. Recommendations on the Wi-Fi only.

4.Slimmer design expected to be no big deal for me, but once held I can definitely feel the thinness compared with V.

5. Better 5 mega pixel camera compared to 3, with support for flash LED. Flash is bright enough to take good pictures in dark environments (in the door anyway), and focuses the camera on the camera mode (or you can focus manually by touching the screen). V auto focused after pressing the shutter button, so that takes pictures of Elite 3 ~ times faster. Is almost instantaneous. It also has micro mirror for self-portrait.

6. Bigger storage for applications, 900MB ~ exclusively for applications. More space if you move your applications (applications that support App2SD).

7. Better/louder sound-speaker sound is heard in the telephone conversation (do not know his name. Ear speaker?). Is strongest, and most importantly (at least for me), you can listen to music while the phone is looking up. OV was sound output on the back, so many times; I either put upside down V or leaned toward him somewhere to hear it in full volume. No more with the elite.

8. GPS-places faster than my V. Google Map is the mildest form that V.

9. Supports most 3D games are in the Play Store. Have not tested because they do not care about them, but they are there unlike V.

10. Faster MicroSD speed up load photos and videos much faster than V.

11. NFC Pay passes credit card support. It can be useful if I forget my wallet at home, but not many stores have really PayPass. I've seen some in McDonald and gas stations.

Cons

1.Shorter life this battery can be YMMV, possibly depending on what applications you have downloaded. I'm using most of the same applications that are used in V, and the battery life seems to 1.5 / 2 times worse in the elite. No Juice Defender, Elite absorbs 3.6% per hour for waiting. V generally used ~ 10% per hour with 3G/WiFi, while the elite are using 15-20% per hour. I am now using Elite JD, and all off (including location data and background data).

2. No immobilization. Do not download tethering apps / widgets. There have been reports that the phone will fail permanent data, which forces users to reset the phone through Virgin Mobile service. V Foxfi supported applications like (I'll miss since I combed with my tablet).

Buttons, two times smaller than 3.Volume V, and are on the opposite side. It's hard getting used to.

4.3G not reconnect as fast as V, so JuiceDefender bit annoying to use. Maybe I was not getting good reception. .
