Samsung Gusto (black, Verizon Wireless)

Pros: relatively loud ringer

Cons: Call quality
menu
camera
allmost everything

Summary: Even an " entry level " phone should be better. Instead of loading phone with flimsy features you do not expect on an entry level phoe, they should make a basic phone which just makes and receive phone calls, but properly.
The call quality is terrible. Especially if you talk to somebody who has a CDMA phone or a cheap cordless or otherwise less perfect circumstances it is hard to communicate.
The menu is not great ( off course, if you are Nokia spoiled it hits even harder) . The camera is useless. Except for a relatively loud ringer and low price there is nothing positive here.
I use the phone as a prepaid back up phone , if it was my primary phone I would toss it right away. Even so, once the 12 months are over it goes into a recycling bin and back to China,

I forgot to ad the poor connectivity to the cons. With 1.5 stars, I am rather generous.

On the plus side I would ad the large buttons but otherwise I stick to my negative rating, it is a piece of garbage. I cannot believe that Amazon sells this thing for 174 $.
