I have to say that I've had this phone for almost a year now and it's the best phone I've ever owned. I read many reviews before purchasing it stating that the battery life isn't good at all, but I did not find that true. I use my phone daily, several times a day and the battery holds a charge wonderfully. I have not been happy with the cell phones I've had in the past (and that has been MANY). I loved this phone so much that my husband bought one as well. I wasn't in the market for a camara phone, but this feature proved itself nicely. Good quality pictures.I give this phone 2 thumbs up!
