"Bad run of luck, my wife washed my phone, I broke the next one, Finally I had my new Gravity stolen. So all I wanted was a cheap basic phone. This phone has more than met my expectations. Plugged it into my computer, transferred a few files and I have photo ID and a great selection of ring tones. I love it and for the price I don't care if I wash it, break it or have it stolen."
"...and I like it that way. I'm not about the flash and gadgets. I want a reliable phone, with text and talking, and the bluetooth capability was a bonus. The camera is neat for making picture ID's for my list.
My old silver Samsung A660 was six years old, survived many mishaps, and well, for a "disposable" phone, lived longer than most of my friends expensive smart phones. Even though as a phone, it doesn't work, as a calendar reminder, alarm clock, and schedule book, it probably has years left. This is a sleek, black phone, no frills, and it promises to be more of the same. For anyone that wants a plain simple phone that goes the distance, this is the one."
"good basic phone just what i was looking for and inexpensive"
Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Poor Battery Performance

PostedDecember 28, 2012
"Had this phone for a month now and disappointed with performance of battery. It does not seem to hold the charge but for about two days and this with not much use. Used only for talking with no texting, photos, Internet, or Bluetooth. Could be a bad battery. Phone very good, otherwise."
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: poor battery performance

"My wife and I both have this phone. Low price from T-mobile. We both like the phone except for one thing-the volume button is on the side and gets mashed almost anytime one picks up the phone or even while talking. I would give the phone four stars overall but had to give it only one star for 'design'. My four stars would be for the overall value and features for a low-priced, simple flip phone. If one can used to not pressing the volume key whenever one uses the phone, I would recommend it to others looking for a simple flip phone."
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight, value overall
Cons: volume control
I would recommend this to a friend!

"The sound on an incoming text message is very low. Unless the phone is in my pocket or sitting beside me, I cannot hear the incoming text message. This phone is supposed to be an "upgrade" from the previous model, but I am really not happy with it."
Pros: Built-in speakers, Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This phone will annoy you.

"The predictive texting (T9 input method) is default on this phone for every text. If you, like me, do not like T9, you have to change this setting every time you type a new message, which wastes countless amounts of time. This aspect of the phone needs to be rethought. It is very annoying to a lot of cell users according to what is read online..."
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations, t9 text input is a default that can't be changed!
