"Great phone, amazing plan"

by TWills32 on July 27, 2009

Pros: Boost $50 unlimited plan
QWERTY
Size
Durable
Great for texting
Easy to use
Great reception

Cons: Interface looks a bit dated
Web browser is terrible
Camera is mediocre
Battery life isn't great
Summary: This is a great phone to fully utilize the $50 unlimited plan. Don't expect to be able to use the web out of the box, though. The web browser on this phone is horrible. I installed 2 apps onto this phone; LifeinPocket and Opera 3 Mini. These are MUST HAVES if you want to use the internet. They are both awesome apps and make this phone so much better.

The keyboard is really nice. It's so easy to text. The phone itself also feels rugged, and it won't break easy. It's very well made. The back of the phone is textured, so it has a nice grip. This phone won't slide around.

I would not recommend this phone to anyone who is insistent on having a great camera. The camera in this phone is actually pretty bad. It doesn't bother me, because I don't take many pictures with my phone anyway. Also, the battery life is not the greatest, but it's not terrible. I've had phones with a much worse battery. I charge it every night, so I don't know how long it takes it to die. I usually lose one bar by the end of the night, however. Sometimes two if I am using it a lot.

All in all, this is a pretty nice phone if you can get the apps I mentioned above. They make web surfing a breeze. The lifeinpocket also has navigation, which is very nice, I tried it out and was pleasantly surprised. Also, do not expect this to be a smartphone, it is not. Some people assume it is because it looks like one. I actually thought it was at first, until I researched it more. It can have great capabilities if you load it with useful apps, though. The price of the phone is great, and the price of the plan is even better!
