I bought this for my 96 year old mother so she can text easier. It is forever saying this phone is corrupt which upsets her.

All the advertising is annoying. The buttons have to be pressed two and three times before they work.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is the worst phone I've ever owned. It freezes up constantly and cuts off on me all the time including whole I'm talking to people on the phone. Now I need to buy another phone. You sold me a lemon!

This phone has plenty of space, a great battery life, and a decent camera. Great value for the money. I don't know why people would spend hundreds, if not thousands of dollars of a phone when they could buy this.
It's doing well. I'm still getting used to it. My biggest gripe is the shutdown process with the two buttons on the same side of the phone that you have to press simultaneously. I end up taking screenshots or lowering the volume.
