    I read many comments on this phone, many good and some complaints. I think the real issue is, what do you need the phone for? If you want a digital camera then spend the money on a good decent digicam. I got this phone for five basic reasons; 1. To call and be called 2. to text and be text back 3. to check my emails 4. To have a decent GPS system and 5. to check on news and weather.

    This phone can be had for $59 - $69 US. To get all of the above at that price is a steal if you ask me. I don't care if the phone plays music or if I can watch a video, I do that when I am home. This is not just a phone for kids but also for the business person who needs something that works. I have three things I carry with me for my business, my netbook, my MSGM8 and my Lumix DMC-FZ7 digicam for my work. It does email, sounds great on calls, GPS, scheduler (calendar) voice memos and more. Go out and get one, it gets the job done!

    this phone is only good for tweens or someone who wants a phone mostly for talk and text only. It feels very fragile & cheaply made and it has a very limited number of features. The camera takes horrible pictures. I had this phone for 1 day and returned it immediately. I switched from a Motorola Q to this phone and it doesnt have half the features that the Q has, to say I was frustrated & disappointed with this phone is an understatement!

    A+ in my book
