"Good for what I paid..."

The bad: Talk time drains battery quickly
"Call Failed" whenever inside buildings

Summary: I've had this phone for almost a year...originally didn't want the phone, but I needed to replace a defective Nokia 3595. I wanted a flip phone, but didn't want to pay a lot of money. T-mobile had a special for $20, so I bought it.

For the money spent, I don't regret purchasing the v180, but I do wish that the thing would get better reception INSIDE a building. It seems to always say "Call Failed" whenever you're indoors.

The phone is very light because of the plastic casing. When I first got it, I thought if I dropped it then it would break. But to be quite honest, I've dropped it hundreds of times and other than minor scratches, it holds up better than my previous Nokias.

Bottom Line:
For a cheap phone, it works wonderfully. If I had to pay $100, I wouldn't buy it.
