    The phone is decent for the price. It is user friendly. One thing I am having difficulty with is the "end" call. It does not want to hang up unless u touch it just perfect.

    Good phone. Only complaint so far is that it vibrates when calls are picked up and when they end. Called for support; support didn't know how to change the feature.

    Simply wanted phone for son and put old sim card in and allow him to stay on our plan. Internally capped at 1.2 or so GB and unable to use micro SD card to expand memory, a downer with limited memory on it and being smart phone with camera, 1 gb can be used rapidly. Pending use may or may not be good buy.

    Great to taking, sending, and receiving photos. One of the main reasons for purchasing since use it for calling, texting, and picture taking mostly. That's why we use a pay as you go sysytem.

    The phone works well enough, the battery lasts well. It is not upgradeable as far as memory. Well not in the traditional sense. You can add a micro SD but only pictures can be put on it. You can not transfer apps to the SD.
