"Very decent, basic phone for what I paid for." on by egar11
Pros: Small: Fits in a small wristlet/clutch purse. Caller groups option. Texting was all right. Excellent battery life. Nice color.
Cons: Camera easily activated, has an obnoxious sound and likes to take pictures of inside your bags,purses, pockets, etc. Sometimes gets lost because of its small size though.
Summary: Back in 2009, I remember getting this phone at a flea market because my previous one had just crapped out. I wanted a phone with a caller ID and group ringtones screen since my previous one lacked this. Over all I was very impressed with this phone. I remember it being very compact and I never had to worry about having a big brick of a phone taking up my bag space. Used to get lots of comments about how little it was and it did not look like a real phone, etc. I could also use a friend's samsung charger at the time since this phone was compatible with a few other samsung phone chargers. However I found I rarely had to charge this thing more than once a week. I was sad when I had to replace this because careless me accidentally got overzealous and dropped it on tile and cracked the screens. I wasn't too bothered by the texting since I only used this for phone calls. My only complaint about it is that there was no way to disable the camera. So occasionally whenever I needed to make a call, I would find the camera running and later find out that it had taken about 40 pictures of the pitch dark surroundings of my bag or pocket. It also would make a loud sound whenever you zoomed in or out.
Overall, don't let negative reviews discourage you if you can get a hold of this phone. I'd recommend it as a basic phone for teenagers just starting to get in the swing of using phones in their social lives (and you don't want them going crazy downloading ringtones and apps and running your bill up) or as a good phone for older folks who don't care for all the fancy doo-dads and just want something to keep in touch with family. -
"Not too bad, but not too good :|" on by chocolatestrawberry17
Pros: Small, camera with self-portraits, Game demos, Good quality ringtones
Cons: Buttons small and hard to push fast for texting, camera key on outside gets pushed in your pocket, high radiation level
Summary: This was my first phone and at first, I LOVED it! But now that I text more, its just a pain. Nice that you don't have to get a contract, though. The biggest problem with it is that it takes pocket photos ALL THE TIME!!!! just yesterday, I deleted 2 weeks worth of pocket photos-- 50 photos!! Good that you can create your own mini menu for easy access for your favorites!! So all in all, this phone is ok, but don't count on it to serve all of your needs.

"You get what you pay for." on by babigirl09
Pros: a small compact phone, it's a cute little phone.
Cons: Where to start: battery is horrible. Phone cuts off by it's self. I got about a good six month of use, after that everything went downhill. Hangs up in the middle of calls. .
Summary: I am very disappointed in this phone, it works when it wants to, and sometimes when it cuts itself off it doesn't want to come back on. And when it does you have to wait a year before you can even access the contacts. (Well I exagerrated, but its a good minute, the phone has to update itself everytime it comes back on, I never experienced that with any other phone.)

"Just bought this phone today and good so far" on by brandon_pickrell2000
Pros: the camera
the multimedia messaging
it is pretty easy to use
nice lighting
reception is good except for in certain placesCons: the music of the ringtones sound kind of distorted
and the camera is kinda slow and unsteady
kind of smallSummary: I just bought this phone today looking for a decent phone with a camera and ability to play actual music tones for less than 90$. I wanted a sony ericson with the blue tooth and free blue tooth ear piece for the holiday special but all the walmarts were sold out of them and they were out of stock online. So I have to settle basically and so far I am satisfied overall since i only paid 43.17 for it after tax. My previous phone was a samsung A117 that didnt have anything no multi media messaging, only played polyphonic ringtones and didnt even have any games and so far I get better reception with the new phone than I did with the old one. Got more bars in some places that I would only get like 1 or 2 with the other but some places I get no signal at all but I wont complain because most phones dont get service in these areas. I dont care too much about how small it is that is fine with me. So overall so far I am satisfied with this phone.
