"Good Phone, nothing more"
Pros: Very small, rubberized shell, good battery life, good speakerphone
Cons: Horrible t9 text speed, web browser very slow, no other features.
Summary: I like the size of the phone a lot. Sometimes you have to search for it in your pocket. As a phone it performs well, but it stops there. The predictive text entry speed is so slow you can type 2 sentences and wait for it to catch up sometimes. The keys are small, but I have never found it a problem. I received a free month trial of the power vision package, and found this phone unable to use it. If you only want to make phone calls this is a great phone. If you want text, chat, or email don't even consider this phone.

Thought I might offer some help on this problem with extremely slow texting...
I only had the phone for 5 minutes and was having the same problem. I KNEW the phone could not have possibly been designed this slow as much as people use texting now days. I am pretty good with technology gadgets and immediately began looking to fix the problem through "settings". Problem fixed. Here's how:
On main menu select "settings", "others" (option 0), "text entry", "T9 Settings", "word choice list" and TURN OFF this feature!! This word choice list is what is making the phone so slow. Turn it off and viola!--texts like any other phone.
Hope this helps some people out there.
