    1st time user for smartphone for the person I bought this for. Loves texting whereas before did not want to have anything to do with texting. Likes camera and other apps available. Just the right size for pocket.

    Still not enough internal memory for me, but good enough for my wife. Don't understand why ATT doesn't offer better phones for gophone customers, like us, who prefer to not be bound by a contract.

    I don't understand why the main screen has a button that causes the picture to blur. The time changes to military time without going to settings. Not happy with the phone.

    This phone is great unless you want to use more than 2-3 apps. There is no memory space on the phone. And you can't download apps to the SD card, but you can use it for music.
