I had this phone for almost a year until the speaker stopped working. I dont know how it broke but i was given a new phone free of charge. The lack of a camera, external screen, and real ring tones is a real downer but i really only use it to call people anyways.
I bought this as my first phone almost a year ago and loved it. Great reception when none of my friends got service. I am in the military and travel a good deal and am very pleased with this phone all over the country. Sadly I just misplaced this phone and am seriously thinking of getting another a650 to replace it. I just ordered the LG vx3300 because it was $10 cheaper but the negative reviews I am reading lately of that phone and the positive ones from the a650 are making me want to cancle that order and just spend $10 more on the 650.... choices choices, but deff good phone all around!
I have had this phone for about 2 weeks, and overall I am pleased with it, especially when I upgraded from a Kyocera 1800...stone age!! My only concerns are the lack of external LCD screen, the phone gets extrememly hot after a while, you cannot see the screen in sunlight, and it is hard to open. I personally would have preferred the SCH-a670, but for $100 more, it isnt worth it. I think this phone has a lot of bang for its buck and is a great value...although it could use some modifications.
This phone is well worth the money. The "get it now" feature has everything you want- ringtones, wallpaper, games, weather alerts, etc... It's serves its purpose well!
i love my phone the only problem and this isnt a big one but the only thing wrong is you can not download ringtones UNLESS you use get it now i suggest you buy a USB cable with this phone but for anyone not caring for ringtones its a great phone
