"An OK phone for a good price"
on by happygirl912Pros Good battery life, light-weight, no contract deal, $50.00 a month unlimited plan
Cons restrictive touchscreen, poor mobile web browser
Summary This is a good "feature" phone for those who want the touchscreen capabilities without getting an android smartphone. It is decently priced ($99.99 through AT&T pay as you go). Texting is a little harder due to the restrictive touchscreen and the web browser is not the best. If you don't text a lot or search the web very often then this phone is the right one for you. The $50.00 a month unlimited plan is a great deal (through AT&T). I would highly recommend this phone to people who are looking for a feature phone that is decently priced.

"Not worth it"
on by katydvPros simple
music playerCons small memory
unresponsive touch screen
terrible design
rarely worksSummary I got this phone in June. The longer I have it, the more I hate it. I went from the iPhone and Motorola Backflip to this, and I miss the keyboard. Touch screen is really unresponsive. Works on occasion. I had to get the app on my iTouch and use that as a phone now because this one rarely works. Entire towns are dead zones, while my sister is standing right next to me with a perfect signal. Microphone doesn't work, drops calls, doesn't receive texts. terrible phone.

"Sometimes I hate it, sometimes I love it."
on by LunaBlackPros Very light, fits in just about any pocket[even tight jeans! lol] and it is VERY durable. Even though it has been, for lack of a better word, thrown half way across a street, multiple times, the screen still survives with just a few scratches. I've had thi
Cons Phone can lag like no one else at times, it likes to reboot itself occasionally, and now it's starting to fail seeing my sim card. The tiny memory is irritating, especially the limited amount of space for text messages.
Summary I hate and love this phone for various reasons, it has served it's purpose over the last 7 months reasonably well., you just really have to have patience and learn how to get around things. If your one of those people then sure, get it.. But if your one of those people who want things to work perfectly[or near] then don't, you'll see yourself wanting to annihilate this phone.

"Frustrating phone"
on by RujackPros Pretty, nice graphics, not too complicated.
Cons MANY!! No instruction book, instructions on DVD making it necessary to go to computer to answer any questions about the phone. Touchscreen is AWFUL! I can't scroll my contacts without it calling every time I touch to scroll! Touchscreen too sensitive. C
Summary Going back asap! I'll be more thorough when picking out my next phone. I do not recommend this phone.
