wow
I cannot believe this phone still works after everything it has been through. The screen shattered and completely fell out after I dropped it on concrete. It has been dropped in the bath tub numerous times. It even sat in a puddle of water for a few hours soaking wet and it sounded kind of funny for a few day but started working again fine. I have kids by the way. I really want a new phone because you know the glass screen is partially missing and not all the glass has fallen out yet. I'm kind of scared I may cut myself but it hasn't happened yet. I want a new phone but I feel like this thing can survive the apocalypse.
Not the best "basic" phone
I bought this phone after my ENV Touch broke just as a cheap replacement. The web is very slow and a majority of the time doesn't work. To unlock the phone without sliding it open you hit two keys and is very slow unlocking. My phone will ring and I will answer it and my ringer will just keep going and I have to pull the battery to get it to stop. The camera is terrible. I am a heavy texter and constantly finding myself deleting message because its full. Now I have owned a lot of phones and it seems I have to delete messages on this phone more than I ever had to before! The phone is not very loud. All in all I would not recommend buying this phone unless you are someone who only is going to use it for emergencies. It is over priced for the quality!
Good little phone
This phone so far has been a bit of a suprize. The small size is great for carrying in a pocket. The features it offers are good for a phone of its size. The battery life is better than I expected. It is easy to use and learning the features is fairly easy.
The cons of this phone are that its not very loud, the camera is only 1.3 megapixels,but I really don't use a camera phone much.
Overall it is a "no frills" phone that still performs. It has pretty much what I was looking for in a phone. I mostly make and receive calls and occasionally text.
