"Avoid at all cost"
Pros: Unique, minimalist look
Cons: Most functions are faulty
Summary: 1. Text messaging. Randomly changes the delay, so often you will try to type an "s," for example, by depressing the "7" key four times, and it will give you "pr," "qq," or "rp." It does this a lot, with all keys.
2. Contact list. Limits you to a measly 10 names per category, so you have to keep inventing new category names to hold everybody.
3. Alarm clock. Cumbersome, to say the least, but also fails to capture your settings often enough, so you wake up late.
4. Ring tone availability. Accommodates a very narrow range of sound types, so none of my grade ringers from my last LG phone was available. Almost all available ringers are $2 for some reason.
5. Sound quality. The worst I've ever known. Downloaded ring tones sound terrible in this phone's cheap speakers.
6. Volume control. Downloaded ring tones barely seem to react to loudness settings, so downloaded ring tones are always too loud. Only the stock tones respond properly.
7. Design. Nice and smooth. Slips out of your hand like a smooth stone so you can drop it and watch it break. Be *very* careful with this so you don't lose it if, like me, you're stuck with it for a full contract period.
8. Rating. Tried to give a zero rating, but mysteriously such a number is not available on this website.
