The Beginning

I grabbed the BLU Win Jr. during the Microsoft Cyber Monday sale for $49. Perfect timing. Just when my HTC Desire Z was totally on the way out with the power button sticking. The last few days, I resorted to sliding the keyboard open to access the lock screen. The touch screen was also warping in the top left corner. That was my daily phone for 4 years. Let's see how long this new budget phone lasts under daily regular use...

The phone shipped in exactly 7 days from the online store. Ordered Monday afternoon, arrived the next Monday in the early afternoon.

There's a ton of reviews and unboxing videos of the phone already so I'll mostly be writing about things I notice about some features, app behaviours and any degradation to the hardware. Start here.
