"Excellent for texting freaks!"
Pros: I absolutely LOVE the blue color of this phone and the overall look of it. The qwerty keyboard is awesome for heavy texters like myself. Call quality isn't too bad, neither is the camera. The big screen is definitely a plus- vibrant display!
Cons: The keyboard takes some time to get used to. It can't take videos, but I can live without it. There isn't a wide choice of accessories just yet, since it's a new phone.
Summary: First off- I'm a 16 year old student who does A LOT of texting. With that being said, I wanted a cheap phone that was good for texting (i had went through 5 LG VX5300s and 3 VX8350s within a period of 20 months, all because of how much i text). I originally had my heart set on an enV2, but noticed that this was less and was good for the heavy texter. I got this phone for around $30 and it really is an awesome deal for what it is.
The qwerty keyboard is hard to get used to at first, but it doesn't feel flimsy at all. The keypad lock hasn't let me down, since my phone is usually in my pocket during school. I like how opening the phone isn't needed to answer a call, as well as to navigate through all the menus. The camera isn't too bad, it's just somewhat slow- but for a camera without flash, that's expected. For those who want to buy ringtones from VCast, you have to buy them online, download them to your computer, and transfer them via USB cable (which is included with the phone). Not much of a big deal for me, seeing as I make all of my own ringtones. People have complained about the size, but it isn't bad at all.
Overall, this phone is an excellent deal for those who text in mass amounts and want something affordable and stylish. I haven't run into any problems with it within the two weeks of owning it- I absolutely love it, so much so that my mom is thinking about returning her LG VX5400 to get the Blitz!

The reviews I most pay attention to are the ones from the teens out there, who really know what they're talking about... having grown up in a techno-world. This review was very good for my decision making. Thanks!
