I bought this phone as an upgrade to my previous one that did not have the qwerty keyboard. I researched to compare models from other manufacturers and liked what i saw in side by side comparisons. I like the battery life, the clarity of the screen is superb, and the keyboard is easy to navigate. I have a two finger approach to typing, and it is usually with my thumbs as I hold a phone. This phone is a dream for me in that my fat thumbs find the proper keys without a problem.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: hard to read in bright light
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Simple Messaging Phone
on February 28, 2011
Posted by: Anonymous
my interests in a phone were:
a slide QWERTY keyboard, with standard buttons on the front and not too expensive.
a slide QWERTY keyboard, with standard buttons on the front and not too expensive.
I first looked online, I didn't see anything that interested me; I went to the store, and this was the first phone I looked at and it fit my interests perfectly.
great size to use- large, vivid screen. the keyboard slides smoothly, not chunky. fits easy into pocket. and has features that ive always liked in a phone- easy to use and get to without having to do several other steps first.
the camera is great quality- for a phone, that is. i took my first couple of photos yesterday, and i expected the standard kind of blurry or kind of a green or grey tint, like you see on some Mobile Images- photos were clear, and the settings are like a basic Camera Setting, I was very pleased.
the downside to this... I've had this phone for 2 days, and I noticed you can customize specific contacts with different tones. so I uploaded a few files from my computer (transfers perfectly, I get each file just fine.) but I have one of those tones (or its a song ringtone) set to a Name and it works once or twice, then goes back to the 'phone default tones' (whichever "Message Tone" default i have it set on). I read this on another review, but i'm not sure if it's a file glitch on the phone or it's an overall hardware issue. it's not highly important to me, but when I saw this feature and I do like to change people's tones to what fits them the most so I know who's contacting me, and now it's glitching... only bothers me cause I know its there and it's not working right (lol).
everything else seems to be working correctly thus far.
I don't have a data plan, so I cannot put a review on this for other users who do have the data plan..
but overall, a great inexpensive quick messaging phone.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, great camera at a phone's standards
Cons: message tone for a specific contact it "glitches"
I would recommend this to a friend!

Does what I want with solid battery life

As the title says I love the slide out keypad, and the battery life on this phone, and the ease of file transfers.
A few gripes:
1) I can't copy an item from one date in the calendar to another date in the calendar for items that repeat on not regular inervals.
2) It keeps reminding me of missed calls even after I've acknowledged them, I have to go into the recent calls list and remove them.
3) I don't have the option to silence an incoming call and allow it to go silently to voicemail when I'm otherwise involved, only accept or reject...this is actually a rather annoying miss on the design part.

Wouldn't even mention them, but my 3 year old phone I retired could do these things...so was surprised these features weren't included....
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight, slide out keypad

This Product has a great keyboard
on April 10, 2011
Posted by: bowhunterak
I love this phone! It is a great phone. I love the keyboard and other functions. Only problem I have had with it was that is froze up a couple of times during use, but it came right back. The camera isn't bad. The speaker is good. Overall it's a great phone for the price.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight, great keyboard, great design
Cons: freezes occasionally

Only had this so far for a few hours, but no missed/dropped calls -- and I live in a basement apartment! Clear calls, even on speaker-phone. Texts are threaded, which is a plus (I had a Samsung Flight, which did not do that).
Only drawback: For some reason the text messages are in your inbox AND in the "conversation" (where they become threaded)...I'm not sure how to fix that, once I delete one from the inbox, thinking it's somehow saved in the "conversation," it gets removed from the conversation....
The only way to keep the conversation full, is to keep the inbox full...which is strange because they're 2 separate folders in the Messaging Menu. I guess you could "Delete Oldest When Full" if necessary, but it's kind of weird.
Other than that, so far so good!
I read ALL of these reviews before making this purchase and that's what swayed me into getting it.
The material of the phone isn't "cheap" or dowdy looking at all, in fact, I like it. I also like the green outlines of the keys. It seems strong and durable, plus there's really strong stickers all over it to protect it from scratching, that unlike most stickers on other phones I have, seem to stick a lot better and if I don't want to remove them, they seem like they'd stay.
LOVE the Eco Friendly options included, like a built-in pedometer and a emissions calculator, to figure out what you're helping save the planet from by walking/biking etc.
LOVE the USB cord and the connected charger for it (just like my finacee's HTC Inspire has!)
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, pretty!
Cons: strange text categorizing
I would recommend this to a friend!
