I despise this phone

I've had this phone for only a week or so, and I hate it a little more every day.  It's clumsy to hold, clunky to navigate, and i think the only thing it's good for is accessing the numbers designated In Case of Emergency (ICE), which take up a great deal of the keyboard.  The battery life seems ridiculously short, and it has trouble picking up a signal in out in the country, in the very same places where other people on the same system seem to be having no problem  Conclusion: if you're not feeling well, and you never leave town, and you suddenly decide to call the Fire Department, it might be fine.  But if you want a reliable phone that knows what it's doing, and that stays alive for more than a day or so, pick another.

Pros

No bells and whistles, which is a plus for some people

Cons

Performance is spotty, displays are primitive, navigating is awkward.

Cheap Price But No Camera

i payed $9.99 off the verizon website for this phone, in December. I dont need a fancy phone, and this phone has great stuff to offer. Do not judge a book by its cover. One thing I'm dissapointed with is that there is no camera. But that's okay, because I purchased a Nikon camera for taking pictures. I think the phone is free right now, but no matter if it's free or $9.99, it's well worth the purchase.

Only two things to complain about....
ONE: Battery life is not working as stated in the Specs. This phone will run down in one day with very little talktime involved.

TWO: You can not shut the stupid voice activated dialing off. or at least disable the side buttons... If this could be done this phone would be the best plain phone for the elderly and phone Illiterite....SP?
