Great for just a phone, annoying messaging
on August 27, 2011
Posted by: DaphneBoo
from New Orleans, LA
I should probably first say I've been at AT&T for 12 years and only ever had Sony Ericssons and iPhones. But I was surprised to see other reviews that LOVED the messaging, because I don't. In 'Conversation' view, the texts aren't always in order and some get stuck in the new position all the time. So for a while, every time I texted my mom something, it looked like she responded with "Alert the news channel!" every time for like a week. So, that could start some drama!
Also you have to keep your inbox below at least 270 because every time you click on 'new messages' or receive a text, an alert pops up you have to click on first "Warning: low memory. Erase text messages to receive new ones"
Cleaning out your inbox wouldn't be so annoying if you could leave one finger on a button to hit 'scroll' and 'mark' with the other, but the buttons are right next to each other on the qwerty keyboard and you're moving your one thumb back and forth between two tiny buttons. If you're steadying the phone with your left hand it makes me wonder why they didn't assign 'scroll' to the big open button on the left?
As for other things, I like the voice-call feature a lot and it's never had problems with making calls or receiving calls or freezing up or anything. It's also good too that you can stick any headphones into this phone, instead of having to buy one for the phone.

Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: adding memory does not add it to texts
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Phone Has Issues
on October 25, 2011

The phone simply freezes up sometimes. It will be laying dormant and I'll pick it up to use it and nothing happens. Won't light up, keys won't unlock, and you can't get it to respond to anything. After a few minutes of 'messing' with it, it will finally start working. There are times when the back light won't go off and drains the battery. I have it set to automatically lock after 7 seconds and it won't half the time. I can also go into the menu sometimes and the highlighter will be continuously scrolling like a button is pressed when it's not.
On the up side, when it works correctly, it's a great phone. The sound quality of the loud speaker is good. The ear speaker sound quality is good. At 1.3mp, the camera is OK.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

this is a simplr phone with no chance of adding ringtones or ringback tones, you can't watch any videos on it and picture quality is fair at best. Slow connecting to the web also.
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality, Not high def, Did not meet expectations, can not watch videos or get ringtones!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A Good Feature Phone
on April 4, 2011
Posted by: PhoneReviewer
from Cypress, TX
Expertise:Intermediate
This phone is a good economically friendly phone, but it is not cheap. It has pretty good desighn aspects, asthetically and functionally. Although a bit laggy from time to time and not the strongest phone it is throughout a good phone for the money, and dont forget the relatively well performing QWERTY keyboard.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: not to durable

Great Little Phone
on June 18, 2011
Posted by: glynxnex
It's only the first day but I'm very happy with my choice so far. The ability to set multiple alarms was very important for me because I've always used my phone as my alarm clock. The variety of ringtones to choose from let me assign a unique sound to most of my contacts. The camera takes fairly decent pictures, too.
All in all, I'm very happy with my choice.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, easy to use, multiple alarms, variety of ringtones
I would recommend this to a friend!
