I really enjoy my phone. It's small and cute. I just wish I could get another cover for it. All it needs now is an integrated camera, and a color display then it would be perfect. Guess I'll have to upgrade.

I got the older version of this phone as a Christmas present 1 year ago. If I could've chosen, I probably would've chosen a different one, but this phone performed well. It wasn't spectacular, but seeing as I only needed it for emergencies, it did it's job.

There are, however, things that I did not like:
1. It is SO small - I want a phone that at least makes it to the tip of my nose.
2. I experienced many dropped calls - as a matter of fact, I had 4 in one night!
3. There were times that I was out and someone tried to call me and, even though my phone was on, they got the recording that said that 'The Wireless Customer you are attempting to reach is unavailable...'
4. The games are really crapppy.
5. In the volume controls, the volume of the ringtone is the volume of the sound in actual calls so if you set a low volume on your ringtone, you could barely hear the person at the other end of the line.
6. The battery ran out of juice too quickly - often losing a lot of power after just a 30 second conversation.
7. My phone mysteriously turned off on its own on a number of occasions.

This phone is iffy. If you don't care much about games and you scarcely use your phone, this might be perfect for you! But if you heavily rely on your phone, I wouldn't chance it. I hope this review helps.
