I liked this phone for the first few months, but the center button gradually stopped working. This is a big problem, since it's needed to use almost all the phone's features. Another frustration is that the battery life is extremely short; I replaced the batteries, but even so the phone has barely enough battery life to ring once. To make a call over five minutes long I have to keep it plugged in, which defeats the purpose of having a mobile phone. The charging stand it came with stopped working, because the contact points don't contact very well. In what may be its final display of wretchedness, the piece covering the camera on the back fell off.
