DO NOT get one! it freezes up way to much! its the same thing as the lg vu.....just samsung makes it. i am very disappointed. i am on my 5th warranty replacement because it is so bad. the touchscreen kept going out and it breaks realy easily!!!!! i went out and bought a samsung a177 at radioshack for 80 bucks. they have them at target too for the same price. it is waaaayyyyyy better than this stupid phone. GET ONE!

Not a bad phone

I use this phone as my personal phone when away from my work provided iphone 3G. This offers the same core funtions as my iphone 3G when I don't want to carry my iphone around. This is a very user friendly phone. Making calls, messaging, internet, and email very easy to access. The browser isnt spectacular, but I can access Facebook and my bank account so thats a win for me! Its not that durable if you drop it but what do expect from a phone that is this inexpensive. People don't want to pay anything for phones but they want the phone to do everything and last forever. Get over it. You want a durable phone spend more money on your phone like the Rugby which has all the same features except touch screen and slightly lower res camera. This phone is excellent for everyday use. It's also the perfect size in your hand.

Pros

Responsive touch screen
Good battery life
Lightwieght
Features/price

Cons

Downgrade from 3.0 to 2.0mp camera from previous model.
Speakerphone audio
