I like the idea of this phone but I hate the fact that I need to replace the phone every other month because it freezes when I text! It is ridiculous I am a heavy texter and this starts to become really irritating. Every verizon phone I have had has fell apart after a few months and I take care of my phones! Don't waste your time with this phone they have came out with better.

Pros

Cool design I like the touch screen, Love the Pink design.

Cons

It freezes and takes really slow pictures
