Now a fancy paperweight

Rokth has owned it for more than one year before publishing this review

Did not have a lot of life in the hardware. It died a few days ago and is now a fancy paperweight. At one time after having it for about six months the stored text messages vanished with no trace. Often ran slower than pitch in winter. Would not recommend as there are still Verizon stores that carry this.
