Pretty solid and convenient starter phone

I think the biggest pros about the Comeback are it's durability music player, and battery life.
I've had the phone nearly two years, and being a teenager, I've dropped it brutally numerous times. I haven't managed to crack the screen or make any major scratches, but I have significantly damaged the exterior plastic case (sold separately).
The music player is a fun feature if you wish to take your music on the go and play it aloud. However, the phone's storage is very limited, so I'd recommend purchasing a microSD card. They are also useful if you plan on taking many pictures!
Also, I am a moderate texter, and I only charge my phone about twice a week. Charge it overnight and you're set for the weekend!

A couple cons are the layout and glitches.
When the phone is opened to the main screen, there are five icons (3 of which I never use because they require internet) that cover literally half the screen, completely defeating the purpose of a customizable background image (which is also the cover screen image). Also, there is no 'conversation' feature common to most phones currently- just a separate inbox and 'sent'.
I have also experienced a few glitches recently. I haven't figured out whether it's due to internal damage caused by drops, or if my phone has ran it's course. If I get a text, then open the phone and press the view button too fast, it randomly dials the number 1, 2, etc. (none of those buttons are even touched). There is also slight lag during general use, but it's not significant.

Despite the cons, I'm surprised at how well my Comeback has held up and performed so far. If I could, I would buy a new one without the glitches (which occurred very gradually and after much initial use, possibly after about 1.5 years.). I would definitely recommend it as a great starter, no data plan required phone.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, long battery life
Cons: glitches, uncustomizable screen layout
I would recommend this to a friend!
