I dropped many times and no damage!If you text message, this phone will be a wonderful buy. The keypad makes this phone just great for text messaging, and I really like the predicative text, it works well. Taking pitures with this phone is so easy, and even easier to send, and you can play actual songs, with really impressive sound. The battery life of this phone is just OK. This phone has one of the clearest call qualities I have ever experienced, and gets great reception. Overall quite impressive indeed.
