"I can't wait to cancel my T-Mobile account." on by raedecker
Pros: Uh. The buttons were nicely spaced.
Cons: The screen is kind of small. no video ability, and the pictures are horrible! The contrast on my screen is messed up.. always too light or too dark no matter what. When it gets cold, it freezes the screen and lags. It always says it has water damage.
Summary: All in all, if you're looking for a convenient phone, look somewhere else. I have an old phone with the screen cracked and the buttons missing, and I use that more than this. I went to my cousins first birthday last week, and I can't even tell what the pictures are. This morning I checked the battery because it seemed laggy (like it is when it gets wet) and the sensers were fine. Then it suddenly turned off an hour later, and when I checked the battery, it said it had water damage. Funny, considering I never got it NEAR water. I have had to switch it in to T-Mobile several times, and funny enough, the warranty doesn't cover 'water damage'. So, I get to pay money to get my phone replaced when it acts up, which it does all the time. DO NOT GET THIS PHONE! And besides, the front screen is off center, which bugs the heck out of me.

"I want to hate this phone, but..." on by luxlis
Pros: it CANNOT be broken. I have dropped this phone down a flight of stairs, numerous times it has hit concrete/marble/asphalt surfaces and it still works like a champ!
Cons: The camera is horrible. Just awful quality photos.
Summary: This was the phone I had to buy to replace my uninsured Blackberry Pearl (that broke after I dropped it ONE time). I was super bummed about this phone, but time has taught me to appreciate it's durability. If you are klutz like me, and you just require a basic phone for calls and text messaging, this phone is definitely worth your consideration.

"decent phone" on by waxhawkelly
Pros: red color ,reception, ease of use
Cons: camera quality, low battery life, boring phone
Summary: This phone is good for someone who wants an easy to use phone but for someone who uses their phone for more than just talking, not so great. My battery goes dead after about 2 days and the camera is useless. Overall it is a pretty boring phone but it is good for talking.

"disappointed" on by Christy117
Pros: Nice design. Sound clarity is good. Price was cheap.
Cons: Bluetooth is not compatible with Mac. Purchased USB data cable to find it's only good on Mac for charging not data transfer. Pictures not clear. Menu navigation could be better. Preloaded ringtones stink.
Summary: I lost my previous phone (Motorola V195) and didn't have time to research for a new phone. If I had I would not have purchased this phone. Since incompatibility with Mac computer the camera feature is useless. I love ringtones & cannot transfer the ones I already had to the new one.
