Disappointing Phone
on April 2, 2011

This cell phone was great at first. But after a while, I noticed that it was extremely slow. It sometimes freezes. My biggest annoyance with this phone is the problem it has with sending certain text messages. If you send a normal text, you click send, and it shows the text "sending", and then it tells you when it's complete. I don't like watching it, so I always press "end" and carry on with other things. But if I want to send a text message that is over "1 page" long according to this cell phone, I cannot press "end" while it's sending, otherwise the phone will shut off, turn back on, and when I go to see if it sent, it cut the message down to the "1 page" mark, and put two strange symbols at the beginning of the text. The strangest thing is, is that it never even sent. So you better hope that message wasn't too much longer than one page, otherwise you have to text it all again. It's very irritating.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Too big, Did not meet expectations, bad texting feature
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
