Have had an issue with this phone inwhich it cycles the power on its own at any given time when trying to unlock, or even during random menu function. Also, openeing email app has been problematic. Most of the time, when attempting to open email tab, it just sits there trying to connect. If you end out of it and go back into email app, it usually loads.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Somewhat difficult to use

It is somewhat difficult to use this phone. The touch can be hard to establish. Sometimes you barely touch it and other times you have to do it over and over to get a response. When you are trying to find an app it will fly through many and you cannot stop it.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: hard to use
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great but one Problem
on August 26, 2011
Posted by: LittleDude
I absolutely love this phone! BEST thing ever! But I hate to say there is one problem! No dialog/ conversation messaging. If this phone had thread text I would be in love with it. But since I am a teen and i text a lot, I have to delete my messages every day! I am also OCD about where things go and think it would be a wonderful idea to have thread messaging. It would say room in your messages, make it easier to find a certain text someone might need, and it would also make it to where you do not have to switch back and forth through your sent messages and inbox seeing what you replied to someones message. Thank You Soo much for reading my review.

Not the best phone I've ever had.

I found the screen to be virtually impossible to see in the sunlight or in the car with sunglasses on.
I also found the touch screen very slow to use for texting compared to an actual keyboard.
Nice case color though.

Loved some features, but bad performance

There were several things I liked about this phone. It has a large touchscreen; image changed from vertical to horizontal when you turned the phone; you could text using number keypad, qwerty keypad, or handwriting on the touchscreen with your fingertip; pictures were crisp; zooming in and out was easy; has mini usb for charging and connecting to computer; has mp3 player; takes mini SD for extra storage. Unfortunately there were things that I did NOT like about it. Caller ID image does not display when a text arrives; the display showing who a text was from is miniscule compared to the amount of screen space available, very hard to read as it scrolled across the tiny bar; battery drained somewhat quickly, I had to charge at least every other day; constantly shut down for no reason in the middle of creating text messages, losing entire messages in the process of shutting down and rebooting, (this happened 3 times one day while I was typing a lengthy message of importance. I had to retype the same message a total of 4 times before I was finished with my thought so I could send it. The phone didn't even automatically save what I was typing before it shut down.); it was difficult to hear the person on the other end during conversations, even at full volume. This would have been the coolest phone ever if it weren't for the problems listed above. If you want to use this phone for pictures and just to play with the handwriting feature, I say Go for it. If you actually want to HEAR people you call, or complete a text message without disruption, Please find a different phone.
Pros: Realistic color, large screen
Cons: Did not meet expectations, shut down on its own
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
