"Absolute junk"
Pros: It plugs into the wall (you'll need that)
Cons: Everything about this phone is junk. The buttons are all too small and seem to be unresponsive most of the time. The back button would be be better off being pushed with a pen or some other pointy object (way too small). THE BATTERY IS TERRIBLE!
Summary: If you have the chance to either run head first into a wall or buy this phone, choose the wall, it's much less painful. This phone is complete garbage. The battery on this thing is pathetic. After letting the phone fully charge over night I would take it with me to class and text during the day and such. At the end of my days classes (3 hours) the phone was blinking telling me to plug in or it was going to die (sometimes I wished it would have just croaked right there on the spot). Within a week of buying this nightmare the problems started. The camera wouldn't show up on the screen so I had no idea what I was taking a picture of. Not only that, after a few days of it doing that, the pictures would come out with green lines across the whole thing. Just like a normal camera should!
After the camera took an electronic dump on itself the screen itself started to screw up. The whole purpose of having a screen on the outside of a flip phone is so that you can check the time and such. Well half the time when hitting the button to see what time it was, the screen would be completely blank, so I would open it up (frustrated already) and the screen would be completely white! Awesome! Close it and wait for the light to completely turn itself off and try again! Then the other half of the time the screen would be all jumbled up into one corner and you couldn't do anything! Awesome! That's just how it's supposed to work!
If you are a text messenger like myself, don't get this phone (don't get it anyways). Typing messages on this phone is about as fun as pulling duct tape off your hairy leg: long, painful, and makes you scream. I can't even tell you how many times i accidentally hit the wrong button, the buttons on this thing are horrid. The back button used to erase letters is in such a horrible spot that i often found myself hitting the wrong button, usually resulting in something I won't say on a family website.
The bottom line is this phone is not worth any sort of money. Even if you have little to no money to buy a new phone, the $0 you can get this thing for nowadays (with a new contract) is still way too much. I would have to be paid to use this phone again. The battery doesn't last a full day (like most people have said) if you actually use your phone. The buttons are horribly placed and way too small to be at all functional. The call reception is a joke, it's almost like the person you are talking to has a tennis ball in their mouth and are watching an old television that is set to one of those static channels.
To put it simply, this phone isn't worth your time. I bought it and within 2 weeks had technical problems with it (that Sprint said they wouldn't help me with, awesome service!). Just about 2 months exactly after I purchased this phone I found myself back at the store purchasing a brand new phone. Terrible design, terrible buttons, terrible phone calls, and the worst battery i've ever seen on a phone of any sort. NOT WORTH THE $0 PRICE TAG!

I COMPLETELY AGREE! The battery lasts 2 days tops, text messages don't always send (about 9/10 texts don't go through) and the texting is so crap... especially the predictive texting.
