I'm in the market for a new phone only because i'm adding another line and right now i have the LG ux380 and i'm pretty impressed with the phone hence me looking at this one because i'm 21 and a huge into texting. I could careless about the internet because personally i think its a HUGE waste on money especially on overpriced plan..everyones plan on every carrier is over priced. I've been reading a ton of reviews on a lot of different phones and this is what i've come to find out..

1. everyone seems to have a complaint its usually because of their carrier and blame it on the phone being crappy.

2.Dropped calls WILL happen, thats not the phones fault.

3. Random restarts for no reasons happen all the time on ALL phones. i've probably gone through 20 phones from really expensive and really cheap...all of them have about the same rate of restarts for no reason. when you start mashing keys and thumbs deep into a cell phone against a circut board thats smaller than the battery inside its bound to happen.

4. The keybored on this thing was desinged for texting and not internet or anything more. If you bought this phone for the internet your an idiot. you were either lied to at the store or your an idiot.

Lastly. I see a lot of complaints about the size of the keyboard which i honestly dont get. What were you expecting. the size of your desktop keyboard? So yes, its going to take time to get use to. If you think these keys are too small, look a blackberry peral. You pretty much need a styls to hit the keys. If you happen to text and drive and try to one hand the keyboard obvisouly its not going to be efficent. (i actually saw a complaint about driving and texting and not being good enough). I text and drive and this phone can be used like a normal phone (i.e. using the number pad)
