The texturized buttons don't bother me; in fact, they seem to keep my fingers from slipping when I dial. The color is great (getting lots of compliments). Lots of storage for numbers. The camera feature takes clear pics for a cell phone. It has an alarm clock in the tools section, which I like to use when I am away from home. The battery standby time is really long. Several days go by before I need to recharge. This is my first phone with bluetooth; it's easy to use, but it takes some getting used to. The phone has speaker too. I am getting great reception and others tell me that I sound more clear than my old phone. The phone is easy to navigate; you can even program the buttons to have the function you want if the preprogrammed ones don't feel natural to you. The music capability is convenient, the phone came with the appropriate cable to hook up to the computer to download the songs. The screen does get smudgy, but it is very colorful and clear.
