This phones is excellent. I got this phone the summer befor I entered higschool and im on my Sophmore year and its still going strong.Pros+//__- Easy side Silencer- I use this as my alram clock for school and at night I just reach over and check the time by holding the side button for several seconds.- Boy you dont know how many times I have droped this phone. The first time it dropped I caught a heart attack. Several months and several scratches later you dont mind. Now I just throw it around for fun... play hot potatoCons+//__- Phone takes a while to load after star up- Aim sometimes hangs during its start up- I really dont understand the picture messenging...- The fact that we cant use vioce mails as ringtones... for polyphonic can suck at times and the ones that come with that are really cheesy, Imagen if "Samba Party" went off on you on the bus.. dude thats not cool.- The flip part of the phone shoud have hinges ore levels before closing ther were times when by accident I closed the phone while I had a call.. there went that call... Like there not much pressure that needs to be forced on the phone befor it closes.It seems like there are more cons than pro.. because I cant think of anymore. But this is a good phone and is definatly a keeper. Enjoy it.
