Well the only thing I really like about this phone is the QWERTY board. Also the trackball (the white white center ball) makes easy navigatioon around the menu. It is a little large in size, but still fits in my pocket. I also like all the different themes, but it's chunky. Also it's made of all plastic so if you drop it there's gonna be a scratch. Also also the screen scratched really easy. OVERALL - THE PHONE IS AWESOME ON THE INSIDE CHEAP AND PLASTIC ON THE OUTSIDE!

I'm sad....

I got a great deal on this phone through Wirefly.com. Didn't cost me a penny. I was so excited to get this phone and after three days of owning it, I sent it back!
The sound quality of this phone is great. The problem that I had with it is that anytime I tried to get my emails or enter the Web, it just kept on showing that hourglass timer and it would never connect. Taking pictures was fairly easy, but deleting them was a chore. You had to go through the menu and find the delete function. PITA!!! And the voice activiated dialing was amusing at first, but it kept dialing the wrong number if the names were similiar (ke: kim vs. jim).
The phone is attractive but just not for me. I hope you have better luck with it.

this phone is a good looking phone however the different plans u need for it is not worth it.within the first month of having this phone the navagational ball fell out when i called to have it fixed they said they would repair it for 180.00 or replace it for 230.00 dollars.i just bought it a month ago i hear this is an issue that alot of these pearls have. i also had some software issues with it at first.
