This phone did not last a year. The design is great and it was somewhat tough. I still made sure to treat it good and didn't abuse the fact that it could take more abuse. The battery cover has broken where it latches and won't stay on any longer. I'm disappointed it didn't last.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

a nice rugged phone with a few smart options , such as the forward speaker great for someone with a case the ease of hearing the phone is great , was never a fan of "flip phones" , i certainly enjoy this phone , its creative , tough, i enjoy this phone and i hope others do as well
The Phone is rugged and able to take hard activity. The phone is slow to respond to button push commands. Texting takes longer while awaiting the results of a button push. The location of buttons for PTT along the sides make inadvertent operation of buttons while handling or carrying phone. This is a good rugged phone, built tough I would highly recommend this phone for bicycling, or other rough sports.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color
Cons: slow operation of button commands
I would recommend this to a friend!

We bought 2 of these phones, 2 years ago. We've had no problems with them, except having to replace the batteries. These phones have been very easy to use, have a large digital color screen and are very heavy duty. Especially good for men who work outside. We recently purchased the newer version of this phone because we were so pleased with the performance of the Samsung A847.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, no problems
