"Good phone for the price"
Pros: Good speaker sound, price
Cons: Limited options and is a little on the slow side
Summary: I bought this phone based on the price to use as a back up phone.
The sound while making a call is great. Compared to my other cell phone (Samsung A840) I can't tell any difference in quality. The external speaker plays ringtones pretty sharply as long as you keep the volume at a mid to lower level. Any higher and it gets a little distorted.
The only real draw back I found about the Marbl is, that while texting there is a half second or so delay while pressing in the letters. This can be a little frustrating but easily managed. It also seems like the top might break easily if it sustained any real force to it, but I have not had to worry about this yet.
I have read that some people that bought this phone have been having battery problems, but such is not so with me. I've left the thing on for two days and it's still going. The only thing I could say about this is, maybe it's like owning a Ford. If this should happen to you just exchange the phone for another and remember to be responsible about it and charge the battery.
The phone is 20-30 dollars, so it's not going to have a mp3 player, camera and make coffee for you in the morning, but to make calls and maybe do some texting, it's well worth the price in my experience.
