When I first got this phone it was a major upgrade from my old one, so I wias thrilled. It has certainly stood the test of time, and I like the software, but a few things have bugged me--one the the najor ones being that when you set the alarm, there is no little alarm icon to show that you have done so. For someone who relies on her phone to be an alarmclock, and someone who, under no circumstances can afford to wake up late, this bugged me. I have also gone through 3 different batteries, none of which have held me over for very long, so that is a pain, but otherwise of a budget phone it has done pretty well. None of the fancy camera stuff, but a sturdy little gadget!
