I've had this phone nearly two years. The phone is solid as a rock. Perfect for people who could care less about taking photos and playing games (although you can play games if you want with this phone). Small and sleek enough to fit in my front pocket of my jeans and still forget that it's there (convenient for men who don't carry all their junk in a purse and are aware of how ridiculous guys with belt clips look). people are amazed at how small it is.downsides: battery life noticeably diminishes after 4-6 months (don't overcharge and you'll be fine). display only has 3 battery bars, so it's hard to determine how much usage is left once you get down to one bar. just discovered that they have a higher capacity battery (may order it instead of getting a new phone). i always have the ring set to high and it's barely audible in a pocket or bag (impossible to hear in a bar even if it's in your hand). has a little noise when someone leaves a voicemail even if ringer is turned off (annoying for library use). i also usually have the sound set to high unless i'm sitting in a quiet room, otherwise difficult to hear people.regardless, i'd buy it again without thinking.
