    I bought this cellphone on sale. I'm satisfied with the phone for my purposes as wasn't looking for something with a great camera or an IPS screen. The screen while not IPS still looked good to me.

    I bought this phone on thanks giving. Phone looks okay. If you are high-end phone user you don't like the touch screen of this phone. Battery backup is excellent. Overall good phone for best price.

    I purchased this phone on Black Friday for $9.99. I believe the regular price is $29.99. The specs of the phone aren't bad, but if you have high hopes of this being a truly amazing phone, you're going to be disappointed. The 1GB of RAM is enough for most android apps to run effectively. The 8GB of memory is sufficient if you're not looking to overload this device with apps. Be aware that the OS takes up around 4GB, so you will have around 4 remaining to use. There is an SD card slot so you can expand the memory if needed. Overall, this is a decent phone.

    Simple and solid phone, nothing fancy and for the price you shouldn't expect anything amazing, but it works well and serves as a good phone to run basic media stuff or play simple games.

    Bought it as a backup phone for my wife. Works fine, no issues. This phone is the best bang for the buck. Screen resolution and camera could be a little better, so giving it a 4 star.

    Phone is ok, but only at the low price they had for black friday. Spend a little more and get the LG Phoenix 2. That's a much better phone.

    We don't like the cost of the contract cell phone so when we saw this at Best Buy, we thought, why not. The cell is great, no it's not an Iphone but all I want my son to do is call and text and yes he can download some games and new ringtones etc. My only complaint is that there are not many accessories for this cell phone. Nobody cells cases or screen protectors for them. We ended up buying a generic screen protector for it and will have to go online to purchase a case for it. AT&T should get on the ball and make accessories for these types of cellphones since many people are go contract-free. Our son is 11 and really likes the cellphone.

    This is a pretty good phone for what I need. I kept dropping my phones and breaking them so instead of another $700 phone I bought this. It has worked fine so far no complaints.

    With only 8 GB of memory you get about 4 GB to use for apps. A little slow. Screen is OK. For the price it is a good backup phone.
