It's a bulkier than ti looks in the pictures, but it really is a great all purpose purpose phone. It would be better if the disco lights worked with the FM radio because I use that more than mp3 or mp4, or just when you turn it on, or off. The battery capacity is great, just for the phone, itself, and have used it, to help others recharge their phones, on the fly, and the flashlight has come in very useful (much brighter, and more focuses more than the average cell phone). The camera isn't the highest quality, but since I am not a professional photographer, that isn't' a major thing to me. I cool thing about the am radio, that I rally like: You don't nee to have earplugs in, for it to work. You do need to do a "flashback" to get back used to "old school" phones" a bit, but., once done it' a keeper. It's also durable (dropped it twics, with no damage. Personally, since I ride Amtrak cross country, in snow (they sometimes break down, and people get bored, and restless, and stressed, because phones can't charge). Even if it is just a backup phone.. WELL WORTH THE COST. It would be nicea, if it had more memory, and wi-fi, but.. I actually almost like better than my smart phone.

So the phone only works with 2 g towers, in my case it only works when I am in the middle of the city, and even then it's sporadic. It has some cool features such as a radio, a powerful light, but none that are cell phone related. It has a space for 3 sim cards. Plus a 45 dollars restocking fee. It is the size of a brick. Really read the specs before buying it.

The distributor is a piercing jewelry store and a cell phone distributor. Somehow I thought Best Buy only sold quality merchandise. I called the supplier when my new phone lit up in Spanish to get instructions to help me, and I only would get a recorded message that responds with sorry message machine is full (you cannot leave a message) NOTE be aware and read your receipt Carefully from Best Buy Before you Sigh it. NOTE!! There’s a restocking fee that could be more than what you paid for your item you are trying to return. According to the geek squad guy I spoke with I was stuck with it I took the battery out I told him keep it. And walk away. I went back to purchase another phone and stood around waiting For a few minutes then Realized I needed to check in again in order to get help I was a bit twisted at this point knowing I was going to pay double for whatever else I wanted. I don’t know Who I’ll be reading this or if I should be elaborate What then took place I will say it work out ok
