Okay
Phone owned for more than a year

I have had this phone for over a year. The phone is good besides the camera... the camera isn't all that great. I can text really fast on this phone but at first it was really hard because of the tiny buttons. It starts to freeze up and if you try to call someone and someone else is sending you a text message it will exit your call so that kind of a pain. The battery life is great for my phone it last almost the complete day! With the touch screen its really useless because i only used the touch screen if i am hitting send or hitting on of my conversations

Phone owned for

I lovee this phone! Its great for texting, has a long battery life and a good interface. It does take getting used to, but once I did I flew while texting. It is on the quiet side for ringing and talking, so I had to use speaker phone a lot in busy places, which was a little awkward. Also, the black light on my keyboard went out. Those are my only complaints!
