Excellent basic phone. Good choice for the money

Review by S. Mahapatra, 2010-02-03

I have been using for about 4 months and I find it very good especially for Cingular/AT&T. My earlier more expensive GSM phones have been unfaithful to me. But this one is very reliable.

Plus: Good Battery life
Excellent reception
Vibration/Calendar/Reminder

Minus: Very basic. Sound quality should be a bit better. Speaker is not good.

Needed a bluetooth phone

Review by Nick, 2009-11-24

Bought a new car with bluetooth built in. Needed a bluetooth phone. This one is absolutely great. No garbage - just the phone. Popped in the SIM card from my old phone and bingo! Super hands-free!!!

Good phone for Iraq

Review by Beetle001, 2009-11-16

Excellent phone. Speaker is loud enough and sound quality is great. Excellent value and price. Battery life is rather good. Reception is also very good. This phone is rather robust, which is a good thing in Iraq.

Good Quadband Phone

Review by Anthony, 2009-11-01

I purchased this phone to use as a GSM phone in England and France and it performed perfectly. Unfortunately, it got stolen toward the end of the trip.
