From: Kitty Hawk, NC (United States)
Experience: 4 Months
Pros: Easy To Use, Sleek, Good Camera, Loud MP3 Player, Bright Screen, Good Speaker.

Cons: Battery Dies Fast, Not Very Tough, The Buttons Are Weird, Almost No Internal Memory, bluetooth sucks.

Summary: I have been through a few of these phones.
the first few just kept messing up,
i accidentally broke one of them, and
the one i've had has lasted two weeks so far.
its a really nice phone, its just fragile, and its a good teenager phone, just not with the battery and with how fragile it is.
its an okay phone, i've had better.

Love The Phone!!!

Overall Rating:

By: Emily Toth on Thursday, December 13, 2007
From: Painesville, OH (United States)
Experience: 2 Months
Pros: Text easy and very accessible. love the camera, easy access to everything. large front and main screen and great sound quality. love the exterior mp3 controls. Slim and adorable, I love the phone!

Cons: The numbers are hard to push just one, but its easy to adjust. The exterior scratches easily

Summary: I have the green version of this phone and love it. I'm 14 and use a cell phone on a daily basis and am constantally texting and on the phone. I have no complaints. At first I had trouble pushing just one button, but that was an easy thing to adjust to. And the exterior does scratch easily, but I fixed that problem and covered up the blemishes with a cute cover. I would highly recomend this phone to anyone!!!
