this phone is garbage
Ten years ago I had a better phone than this. It's so cheap, I mean words can't explain. All I'm going to say is boost mobile please step your game up on this one, this is bad for business.

only in a pinch
To put it in short, this was a very lousy experience. I'm usually pretty gentle on phone reviews, even with the bad ones, but this is about as bad as it gets.
Pros:
-sound quality was alright
-PTT worked well
-it's $30, and at least looks better than most other prepaid phones of it's price range
Cons:
-bad reception, dropped calls
-messaging issues
-screen looks very washed out
-keypad is like connecting lego blocks with sandpaper in between
-GPS and internet were useless
I won't bother writing a twenty minute monologue detailing all the cons. If your in a pinch and can't afford to get anything else in Boost or Nextel's lineup, it's better to have this than nothing. But if your looking for a good basic phone, the i335 is an exponentially better choice. iDEN carriers are wasting warehouse space with this one.

More garbage from Motorola
Why can't can't Motorola make a phone that is worth the price? This phone feels cheap and plastic-y. The whole thing is made of cheap cheap plastic. Dropped it once in the store and chipped the corner. Boost-ers look for something else.
