I picked this phone up as a quick replacement when my previous phone died. I needed something cheap that I could replace soon after when I had done some research. As it turns out, this little phone is very reliable for making calls, and is pretty good for texting as well. I guess when you get a phone that is as bare bones as this, it has less things that can go wrong with it!
The biggest problems for me are that it doesn't have a camera or bluetooth, and it is terrible at browsing the web. I was used to using a downloaded Opera Mini web browser at EVDO rev. 0 speeds on my old phone, so moving to an RTT with a TERRIBLE built in browser hurt a little. Apart from these shortcomings, I think that this is a very functional phone, and is a great buy for the price.

The bottom line is that if you're looking for a phone that does more than very basic calling and texting, or if you are someone who has a lot of contacts, this phone is probably not for you. On the other hand, if you want a reliable little phone that has above average reception and can be purchased for very very little, this phone should definitely be on your shortlist!

I guess this phone is okay for what it is.  Unfortunately I think the problem is more with the system here in the Richmond outskirts.  When at home I have one half a bar.  when the phone rings it actually hangs up on people. In most instances it just sends them to voice mail.  I think I will be in deep trouble should I ever have to call 911

     I hated this phone very much.I was very glad when i got a new phone.This phone was very strong yes,but i couldn't receive picture message.Also I could barely text with this phone it made very loud noises.But i have to say this phone has great singal reciption .I never dropped a call with this phone. 

This phone ROCKS!!!  I've had it for a little over a year, it has been dropped at least a hundred times -battery and back pop off- you put them back on and keep going, never a problem. It's tiny,reception is excellent in the SF Bay area. Virgin Mobile has great cheap rates and no contract. Phone has a calculator, tip calculator, calendar, voice memo, stopwatch, timer, alarm, world clock and memo pad. MOST IMPORTANTLY, it works great as a phone, LOL, you'd be suprised how many phones don't. Oh, and if I DO manage to break it? Sheesh, I'll have to go out and spend $10.00 on another one. This phone ROCKS!

as phone good reception, easy to use, small in size. for the price above average  online and off. online email  better than average offline email good but can't view images or visit links. great mms and picture messaging ability. I use mine as primary phone and at this posting have been using almost a year averaging 500+ minutes/month air time and much data time. take a beating and continues to work well. bought secondhand backup but havent needed.  CONS: java is sketchy and heat buildup with heavy data use. heat can become massive if charging while browsing, especially if holding flat in palm.  OVERALL I like this phone and would recomend to anyone with common sence. 

Its small, great reception, and easy to use!
