Didn't last a year in my teenagers hands. Something aimed at the texing teens should be a lot more sturdy.
Cons: Did not meet expectations, not durable
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good Phone for not being "smart"

I purchased this phone for a member of my AT&T family plan who does not use the web or any apps. It is great for texting with its slide out keyboard. Home screen menu is typical AT&T design, intuitive and easy to navigate. While the phone is an older model, it has held up very well. I would recommend it to those who are looking for a basic model to call and text. The only downside is the lack of customizable fonts, the choices are limited to three, two of which are unreadable IMO.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, slide out keyboard makes texting a breeze
Cons: poor font selection, no more updates available you get what you get
I would recommend this to a friend!

OK Phone
on May 26, 2012
Posted by: Anonymous
This phone is very durable. I have dropped it many times and it stays tough. The worst that happened is the back fell off and the battery came out. The battery life is also excellent. I use my phone regularly and the battery can last up to 4 days!
However, the keyboard is sticky and not very well made. I would also prefer the messages to be in conversation mode, where I can see all the previous messages by just scrolling. Unfortunately, that isn't possible with this phone.
The phone works well, I can hear people and they can hear me. I have never had a dropped call.
The features are OK, very few games are available for free without a data plan.
The display is average.
I have scratched my screen many times but they are not clearly visible and are not a distraction.
Overall, I'd say this phone is OK. The only major problem that I can't get over is the fact that messages don't always come in on time, and I wait 30 minutes to an hour before messages arrive that were sent a while ago. The phone can also freeze and fail to send messages. I have to turn it off and turn it back on again and it works.

I had an Epic 4G-once retired I didn't need all the features, I decided to change to a simpler device and decided on the A877 Impression. I really like the keyboard since I can use both hands. The sound quality is excellent.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: address book difficult to change
I would recommend this to a friend!

This phone did all the things I wanted with out being a smart phone. Now due to trends in the market place this type of phone is no longer available. However because I liked this phone so much I decided to go with the Galaxy SIII.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive
Cons: needed more audio volumn, needed to last a little longer than 2 years
I would recommend this to a friend!
