    Good phone for the price. Screen really sucks but it expected that since it was so cheap. Put a sd card before downloading a game.

    I bought this phone as a gift for my son. He needed a cheap phone to use when he didn't want to take his expensive phone somewhere where it could be damaged (such as an amusement park). After using this phone, he commented that he really liked it, and it would be a suitable long-term replacement for his phone if something happened to his main phone. He was very impressed with the quality of the phone and the features, especially with the phone's low price. Recommended.

    I always prefer to use a cheap cell phone like Nokia. By the way, there is one thing I don't like it. This one doesn't have a front camera. But I still like it anyway.

    The phone was on sale when I got it so the price was right. Being a windows 8 phone I had my worries but it is very easy to use. All-in-all it is a great little phone.

    This does nice improvements over W7. Would be nice if it had a front facing camera but NBD. I really like W8 on my phone.

    Simple, does what it's supposed to do. App selection isn't as great as iOS obviously, but performance is leaps and bounds better then Android any day of the week.

    This phone has a lot of great features, but there's many that you need help with, and there aren't many tutorials so it can be difficult navigating around on it

    Wonderful first phone for your teen. Has all the features they would want for a first phone. A front camera would make it perfect...no selfies with this phone.

    I went to 4G from 3G and paid less for this phone. (The Alcatel broke after 15 months but was covered by an extended warranty). It has many bells and whistles, which I'm still learning to use. I don't find it user friendly BUT I can easily access the Internet, which I couldn't before, and the sound quality is good. The screen scratches easily although I have a pouch for the phone, and picture resolution and lighting leave a lot of room for improvement.

    Bought this for under 50 bucks. For the most part it does the job. It's a great stepping stone to more advance (and expensive) smart phones.

    I needed a smartphone for my mom and didn't think twice about getting her a Windows phone. This is a great smartphone for beginners. The small screen along with the ease of use (my mom already has a Windows 8 laptop) is what convinced me to buy this. It was relatively inexpensive especially after Best Buy's promotion to get a whole bunch of points with a smartphone purchase. My mom loves it, and doesn't want to give it up. I took off a star for the low resolution screen. and lack of apps in the Windows store.
