    I was looking for an inexpensive phone for my office staff to use. We bought an android phone being it was inexpensive and I can see why. It’s extremely hard to figure out how to use it. All my staff hates the phone as well as myself. You can’t even do simple things easily on it. We are going to bite the bullet, spend the money and get iPhone for the office

    Good solid smartphone. Wife preferred a smallish sized screen to better fit her hand. Happy with the initial usage. Although several unwanted apps are hard to eliminate. Time will tell if the initial happiness will continue.

    This is a good value. While they are selling it for the repeat revenue of monthly service, it served its purpose for me. Everything worked as expected.
