Not worth the money.

I've been with T-Mobile for a long time, and after a year of uncomfortable texting on a Motorola phone that was similar to a Razr, I wanted a full QWERTY keyboard. Well, I obviously did NOT want a BlackBerry -- it's too businessesque (if thats a word) for my taste and was really intended for email and stuff. So back in June I decided to pay $187 (I had a partial discount, but it wasnt time for me to upgrade) for this phone. So NOT worth the money. It's only worth the $40 you pay when you get it new with a plan. My biggest complain is the QWERTY keyboard: its cramped, the buttons are difficult to press, and the two side keys are absolutely useless: the only time I use them is to open the menu, and after that I use the "OK" and backspace buttons, which work just the same. The battery life is absolutely terrible. I have to charge it every night, and sometimes it's almost dead before i get home. I do lotsss of texting, so I assume that only depletes the battery life more and more.

I was also upset that there were not many included wallpapers; and then pictures from the camera set as backgrounds were cut off on both sides when you slid open the keyboard, so it just was ugly. Also, when viewing pictures, there is no full screen mode. What is that about?! Also there are only two themes -- bland white or depressing black.

I have already saved up my money to cancel my T-Mobile contract altogether; I need a better phone, and will be switching to an LG enV 3 from Verizon (which has the big internal display and a larger and more comfortable QWERTY keyboard). I really only would recommend this to people who need the QWERTY keyboard now and then.

Pros

QWERTY keyboard - its always just good to have
No mechanical issues - it NEVER had issues like shutting off or buttons not working
Good enough call quality

Cons

Cramped QWERTY keyboard
Awful battery life
No real customization

First of all if you are planning to buy this phone...... DONT!!! dont go by the cuteness of this money sucker... even though its cheap u r stil gonna end up paying a bunch load of money replacing it or trying to get it fixed... this phone sucks big time... is shuts down on me all the time.. i will be typing my text n it will turn off even if its fully charged.. i never get calls and the ppl who would call me would get mad at me thinking i m not picking up the phone.. very poor service.. i understand about sometimes when u r inside a building or something u dont get service but even if u r standing  outside in open u still dont get service..it freezes up on me all the time.. also sometimes if my parents are calling me it would say someone else calling ... after reading the reviews my phone is not the only one having these kinda problems ...majority of the phones r having the same problems.
