"Good Phone" on February 14, 2009 by mudslinger83

Pros: reception, battery life, music player, excellent call quality, speaker on front

Cons: speakerphone could be better,

Summary: i traded my vx8360 for this phone, i like it, i like the plain style of the phone, just wish i could get it in red, the call quality is excellent, to me its better than most phones ive had...battery life is pretty good for normal talk and text, but using v cast drains the battery as usual, music player is pretty good speaker is really clear, but could be a little louder, reception is on par with the lg and samsung phones...im not really sure what brand PCD is...i guess its kinda like utstarcom so i took a gamble and im not disappointed, just a couple of things that aint the best is speakerphone and the flip is a little weak but its not that big a deal...its a good phone and i recommend it.

"Nothing special in any way." on August 24, 2010 by ezekiel4272

Pros: Small enough to fit into a cell phone pocket on my chef pants or in my cargo shorts.

Cons: The camera is nothing special. In fact, the poor quality of it makes it not even worth taking pictures most of the time. A flash might have improved this. All-in-all a nothing special device.

Summary: Free doesn't make up for a phone you want to get rid of in 6 months. Drop the $50 or more on a better phone. The only saying applies here "You get what you pay for". In this instance I paid nothing and got nothing in return.

"Don't get this phone if you want to answer/make calls." on December 16, 2009 by ekinder

Pros: Nice display

Cons: I got 3 of these, and all users had dropped calls, poor reception, and calls going straight to voicemail. The phone was being used in places where I had perfect reception with my old Razor, so it must have been the new phone's poor quality.

"Basic Phone - Annoying to Use" on July 28, 2009 by canofbutter

Pros: Fairly simple interface, nice thin design.

Cons: No quick way to lock the phone (have to go through a minimum of 11 key presses to lock the phone). Which is even more important since the external buttons are WAY to easy to press in one's pocket - which can take pictures, play music, etc.

Summary: Wish there was an easier way to lock the phone - every other phone I've ever had could be locked by holding # - for this phone that toggles vibrate - useless feature. It was free for me with a 2yr contract, so I can't complain too much, but now I'm stuck with a phone that takes about 300 pictures of the inside of my pocket every day and onto which I can't have any MP3s loaded, since they'd otherwise start playing at random times. Absolutely the worst phone I've ever owned solely because of this.
