"Nice little phone for a teenager" on by erikssond
Pros: Sleek design, small and light in my pocket, perfect for text messaging, pretty sturdy, clock on the outside, numbers light up.
Cons: Not the greatest at taking pictures, not the greatest sound quality.
Summary: I've had this phone for 2 years. Which is a miracle, because I've had touch screen phones, and bigger flip phones that I have RUINED. It's a nice little phone for text messaging, and pretty sturdy. I've had phones that I've dropped PLENTY of times and would get scratches, but this little one of TOUGH. It fits perfectly in my hand or pocket. It's not like those bulky QWERTY phones that I've had before, and not as sensitive as touch screen phones. The price wasn't bad either, I got it new for 75 dollars. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it and it would be a great starter phone for a teenager.

"Cheap phone, doesn't last!" on by gimlingal
Pros: Cheap price
Cons: Short battery life, poor call quality, poor speaker phone sound, poor camera quality, not user friendly.
Summary: I am simple cell phone user. All I need is a phone that I can talk on and message on, that's it. This phone wasn't even good for that. It had terrible call quality. In addition, when California switched to hands free cell phone usage in cars only I had to switch to using the speaker phone and that as well was terrible. I couldn't hear unless I held the phone right up to my ear, which defeats the purpose of hands free. When I first bought the phone that battery died daily. I had to be sent two new batteries and finally received one that would last for 2-3 days, however I later found out that T-Mobile charged me shipping on the batteries... I guess that is an issue with T-Mobile... how do you charge your customer shipping to replace a defective product!? The camera quality is terrible and it is almost impossible to get a decent picture. You can't change the home keys... I don't use t-zones so there is no need for me to have it on my keys. I would've much rather had the messaging fuction. The phone is fragile and scratches easily. And finally, I have had this phone for less that my 2 year contract and it is now breaking... again I am not hard on cell phones... the camera key is giving out so anytime I open my phone it automatically takes a picture and saves it to my phone- it beeps constantly as the phone is trying to take a picture with the flip closed but unable to. Do not waste the little money that this phone costs... it is cheap and just not worth it.

"At least its still working after 8 months..." on by Seby86
Pros: The phone is easy to use and has very straight forward in operation. The keys are well designed, large and easy to press. The phone does have bluetooth. Text messaging is alot easier on this phone than many phones that i've had in the past.
Cons: The phone feels hollow and cheap! The camera has terrible photo quality. Call quality could be ALOT better. Turns off by itself at least once a day, this is infuriating! Phone has a total lack of features. Exterior "stripe" display is awkward.
Summary: I basically got what i paid for. I needed a cheap phone after i had broken my tmobile wing to hold me over until i got a nice upgrade. The phone cost me $60 as a pre-paid phone in which i simply switched over the sim card. The phone is cheap and doesnt have alot of features, but I knew that before i bought it. I surprisingly got slighty more than i expected to get when i saw the phone had a camera and bluetooth. So far the phone is still working and i'm satisfied with its performance. I got my money's worth. However the phone does annoy me from time to time. It like to turn off by itself randomly at least once a day. I'm not sure if this a factory defect or if it is programed to refresh automatically daily. But it always happens as i am about to send a text message. I will write the message and then when i hit the send button, that triggers to phone to freeze momentarily and power off. Then I have to restart it again. Very infuriating because i now have to rewrite the text message. Also to get the phone into vibrate mode, one cannot simply press the side volume buttons all the way down to vibrate mode. That will only bring the ringer volume down to level 1. If you want to put the phone in vibrate you have to navigate through the menus to the sound settings and profiles and activate vibrate mode. This to me is stupid and makes no sense.
Overall not a bad phone for 60bucks retail. You get what you pay for and maybey even a little more. -
"Terrible reception" on by jbreneman
Pros: Looks nice
Cons: Calls dropped, or would freeze when call came in and the person couldn't hear me, I couldn't hang it up they had to hang up.
Summary: I just upgraded to this phone from my Nokia which had great connection, and was very upset when the phone came and got lousy reception. I called my carrier and they exchanged for the same phone, they said oh this is a great phone it shouldn't happen again. I got the new phone and the samething happened. The manufacturer should take this phone off the market. Don't get this phone, you will be sorry.
