Hunk Of Junk.

26 Jun 2009 Karianne

1 out of 10

This is the worst phone that I have ever had. I have gone through 6 chargers with it. The battery is always dead. The calls always drop. And it takes forever to send and receive texts. Do Not, I repeat, DO NOT waste your money on this hunk of junk.

Pros

Absolutely Nothing.

Cons

Absolutely Everything.

the battery life isn't great. the buttons are flat and flimsy. phone randomly freezes then turns off. the phone mostly freezes when i text or press buttons quickly, but still turns off just randomly. the images are pixilated. dropped calls are not surprizing. don't get the phone unless it's free.

Pros

looks nice

Cons

cheaply made
