2.3 out of 10

this would be a good first phone or a phone for a kid, since it's so durable and easy to get used to. i've had this phone for almost 7 months, and it's still working like it did when it came out of the box. it's had a lighter taken to it, has slight water damage, been dropped about 20 feet onto rocks and concrete, flung into ditches and so much more. however, saying it works just like it did when it came out of the box isn't necessarily a good thing. ever since day one, it would randomly shut off, freeze up, and lag. about 3 or 4 times a week, it will mess everything up. i'll be getting a text message from john and it says ian. the text message box will get really small and will take forever to display what i'm typing. the vibrate is reeeeeeaaaaally loud too. you can't hear ANYTHING when you're talking on the phone either. also, the person on the other end can't hear you. texting isn't too bad, but the keys were really small, which may be hard for someone with bigger fingers. also, it took some time for me to get used to how small everything on  the front screen was.

Pros

VERY durable
simple to figure out

Cons

no camera
small buttons
can't hear anything
crazy loud vibration
glitches TOO much
no camera

Cute enough, but...

This is my first cell phone and, if it worked correctly, would be great for any first-timer or a kid, since it's pretty durable, the battery lasts forever, and has all the basic features (minus a camera).

Unfortunately, though, I've had it for less than two months and it's given me trouble almost from day one.  It freezes constantly - I'm talking three or more times a week, often several times in a day.  Sometimes the freezing is random or when I send a text, but most of the time, it happens when I receive a text while I'm writing one.  Guess it just can't handle that much at once, which is ridiculous.  Also, the service is abysmal - my phone won't have service, but my boyfriend's will have four bars, and both phones have the same provider.

Much as I hate to knock it, I just can't recommend this phone.

Pros

-Durable enough to deal with a clumsy person
-Light and compact
-Has some decent features like voice readout
-Battery life is awesome, and it charges fast.

Cons

-Freezes CONSTANTLY
-Doesn't get service in places it definitely should
-Removing the battery door is a fight
-No camera. Didn't think it was a problem when I got it, but it's proven to be a bit annoying.
-The key lock isn't nearly as secure as it should be.
