Decent But Nothing Special

6

6/10

I've had this phone for about a year and it's been decent but not much more than that. I only use the phone for talking and texting, I never bought the additional email/web access so I can't comment on that. The phone is cute and I like the rounded edges and chrome and black front. It's a bit heavy and seemed a little clunky at first but I've gotten used to it. The qwerty keyboard has a good feel to the keys, they have a little "click" when you press them. Another plus is the easy to navigate menus, the phone was a breeze to figure out. The battery life has been fine for me, I usually have to charge it once every few days however sometimes inexplicably it runs out of juice the same day I charged it. Not sure why this happens but it's only once a month or so so I'm not too bothered by it.

I have only a few complaints, one is that the screen on the inside is really tiny, there's room for it to be so much bigger! Also the speaker is quite poor and even with the ringtone on the highest setting it's very quiet and I miss quite a few calls because of it. Lastly the camera is nothing short of abysmal! The pictures are grainy and tiny, very poor quality.

All in all this is a nice entry level phone if you want some features (like the QWERTY keyboard) of a smart phone but don't need all the bells and whistles and don't need everything to be top of the line.
