I have a hand-me-down iphone 4s and I'm tired of trying to figure out it's/iTunes software. It's just insanely counter-intuitive.

All I need the phone for is basic browsing, making calls, and streaming music via Plex (thanks to those that made that recommendation a few days ago, it's great for making my massive music library available on the road).

What I want to know is, if I purchase this phone, can I simply swap out my sim card (micro sim sized, and it's using ATT's service) and not miss a beat. Does the "prepaid" aspect prohibit doing that at all? Thanks.

Yes, you can just go into any ATT store to have your service moved to the new phone. If you buy it at Best Buy, they can do it for you there as well (side note: go to Best Buy Mobile if doing this). You can probably do it over the phone as well, but since most people only have the one cell phone, that's usually difficult.

Just an FYI, but all I needed to do was to take my simcard out of my iphone and place it into the Zmax 2 before starting it up. No calls/activations necessary.

fricking loving it so far. Have tried to transfer media from pc to iphone and vice versa dozens of times and it's always a struggle (if it works at all). Simple drop and drag with the Android.

I'm far from a phone expert (obviously), but it's MUCH faster and more accessible than my 4s. My iphone is now exclusively an emergency phone in the event that I lose whatever Android that I own.

Probably because you were using a phone that came out 5 years ago. Shocking that a new phone is faster and more accessible. Shocking.
