Great Basic Phone.
- November 5, 2009
This was my first phone and it was great and i loved it! It is great for a person just to use a basic phone. There was a few problems such as not enough memory, internet was slow, and when you would start a message and then exit and say not to save it, the next time u go to text it will come back and makes you send it unless u want to bother with it all day texting! It was the perfect first and basic phone for non-texters though.

Pros: Big buttons, Great sound, good colors
Cons: Did not meet expectations, Bulky, horrible pictures
When I first got this phone it was great but now I realize it is very bulky and makes an annoying *click* noise when I open and close it. The camera is very poor and the front of the phone--the mirror--gets scratched easily. Althought the battery life is very pleasant the charging time takes FOREVER!!! When ever I text someone and then delete the sent and inbox messages because the folder is full...well, when you turn off the phone and turn it back on, one of your sent messages will reappear into your sent folder just at random. It's very bizarre. That's my review, thanks so much for reading it!

Good basic phone.
- November 4, 2009
This phone has been very reliable for me. Rarely drops calls, handles lots of wear and tear. It has even been dropped in the bathtub twice and continues to work well. There are two things I dislike about the phone: 1. it's too easy to accidentally put someone on mute 2. quite a bit of the paint around the edges has chipped or rubbed off (but that's merely cosmetic).

This phone was great! I've had it for about a year and it works great. I only have to charge it once a week, and I've never had a problem with the battery charger falling out. Mines not scratched either and I drop it and throw it in my purse all the time. Great phone & would recommend this one to anyone!

Great flip ohone
- October 25, 2009
Pros: Durable, Big buttons, Stylish, long battery life.
Cons: no qwerty keyboard
I originally bought this phone over a year ago and I have yet to see the battery go below full strength. I've even gone several days between charges and it still indicates a full battery. I bought this phone before I started texting, so I will eventually upgrade to something with a qwerty keyboard. But if you don't care about a qwerty then this is an awesome phone. Best I've ever owned. Oh, and picture quality is what you would expect from a 1 mp phone. Not pics I would want to keep, but for posting on twitter, etc. it suffices.

have owned the pink model of this phone for about a year now. i do not keep it in a case or anything and my phone still looks great. I bought the same model and color for my niece, and obviously she wasn't nearly as careful with it as I. Hers is pretty scratched up and chipped. I love the phone except no sprint tv or mp3 playing capabilities. Have never dropped a call. Would recommend highly for adult use and care, the kids just aren't careful enough. The buttons are a nice size for those of us with not so small fingers.

Poor quality
- October 19, 2009
Cons: Did not meet expectations, Price, quality for the price
I had the Katana before they change to this one.I loved it very much so this is why I purchased another one. It is of poor quality compared to my previous model. The charger end that plugs nto the phone is cheaply made. The feel of the keys was difficult to get use to. I wish I had kept my old Katana, just overall much better quality as far as the unit is concerned. I'm very happy with Sprint tho.

Scratches really easy. Does not sit on the shoulder well when trying to call. Also, the jack to charge the phone breaks really easy then you can't charge the phone. This is the second one I have had to replace.

Pros: Stylish
Cons: Did not meet expectations, Price, Confusing interface
It looked so promising until you turn it on and you try to use the interface. It feels cheap, sounds cheap, and the interface looks cheap. The only plus was the color. I hated it so much I returned it the same day and spent $50 more for a phone that is light years ahead of this one.

Its ok in texting the font is kinda small, its definetely a first time user phone. The things that I dont like about it were that it wouldnt let me change the font size AT ALL!!! The buttons were kinda slick and you could see your fingerprints all over the keyboard. It wasnt that durable I drop things alot and the battery falls out and breaks. Definetely for someone who doesnt care about looks.
