2 out of 10

Dont get this phone, its by far the worst i had ever had. You better off with a toy phone! the first day i got it the phone frooze up! Then i charged it all night and died with in 5 hours! text messaging is the worst, the buttons are too close together when making long text messages. the battery is the worst thing about this phone. I would definatley take back this phone!

Pros

-small pocket size

Cons

-bad reception
-bad battery
-low memory

no problems... but not great.

I got on after it had been out for a while... no problems on mine...i noticed that th back cover was hard to get off... i learned that i didnt need to be afraid to just pull it off. i thought i might break the thing... if you wrap you hand around the bottom of the phone, so your palm is on th back cover and you fingers wrap along the bottom onto the front and the slide the cover off... it slides easily.

It's not a bad phone... it has all standard features(camera, video, music player, your mom...) its really shiny.... I got it as a free upgrade from verizon...

Woah. I bought the phone off Amazon for $118.87, and it took 4 weeks to ship! I think I spent too much money, but that's ok. It has a "decent" memory capacity, and you can't seem to open to battery cover. this phone requires a screw driver. haha, they should say that in the manual. this phone is basic, and I destroyed my old blackberry on youtube, and dont call me stupid. it was an OLD one. with financial troubles, i found this phone. :D saved my life
