The Cell is not what i expected, i would recommend expending more money if you want something decent and cheap. The phone is way too simple for me is hard to use it. No graphics :( but overall the service was great ;)

Oh what a POS. I bought this phone thinking that I would get something simple, reliable, and no hassle. I got none of that. Went 0 for 3.

The bad:
The phone would constantly lose cellular reception, and it would not automatically pick up. I would have to turn the phone on and off. This alone gives this phone a 0 out 5 stars. But that's not all.

The letters are blocky, so how do you send and receive text messages? 2 years later, and I'm still haven't found out.

Phone constantly needs to have the settings redone. How many freakin times do I need to tell you what time/date it is?

The good:
There's not much covering for exterior, so if I put a single shot of BB through it, it'll probably render it unusable, which is a whole lot better than that being "usable" but being a piece of garbage that frustrates. Not it'll be just a piece of garbage.

I haven't explored further into this trash, but if I did, I'd probably find other things to go off on it. Oh an also, the date format is in Euro/Australian form (whatever, I don't what standard they use, but it's not American).

When i bought this phone i did not expect much except a phone that would answer calls and could make them. I found out that this was not a good phone for that. I was replacing a some what broken 2nd Gen Razr by Moto. That phone even somewhat broken got better service then this phone so i have already switched back to the Razr, I used the phone for about 2 weeks before i gave up because i was droping calls which never happened with my razr. The calls were being made in the same areas so i expected the same signal strength but i have not gotten that.

Basic phone..not really good for txtng if you like to txt..Ive used it for like 2 months now and the battery is starting to give up, only take 3-4days for a full charge even if i dnt use it..used to be 5-8days bfor i charge it again..so that's the only problem i got so far..

this is the worst phone I've ever had.
It cannot receive any calls now, and I can hardly call other people.
Very very bad signal! and something wrong with the phone book.
the screen blacks out frequently. like suddenly dies.

horrible!
I wanna return it back.

I wanna rate it with no star~~
