My 80$ phone can blow 200$ phones out of the water
by keshdiamond on March 27, 2013
Pros: Easy to use, runs smooth, has a LOT of space. User friendly, good looking UI. I freaking love this phone and the price is great. I don't need unlimited data, I hardly ever use data. When at home I use wifi, that's what it's there for people.
Cons: Sometimes breaks up during a phone call.
Summary: STOP OVERPAYING FOR ****** PHONES AND GET THIS ONE.

Android 4.0 and easy to hold and use.
by NoGnusIsGoodGnusGaryGnu on January 7, 2013
Pros: To fix visibility go into the display settings. Turn off automatic brightness. Set keyboard timeout to "same as sleep". For battery life, go into the eco mode settings and activate each "leaf" except for the sleep and the auto-rotate options.
Cons: Three major drawbacks: no memopad, no "to-do" list, and videos can stutter or stall (not sure if it's the processor or Virgin's network). Had to get accustomed to the GUI and closing/switching between functions.
Summary: Got it on sale for $30 so I'm not really complaining. Everything else works fine but next time I will try a phone with a dual-core processor for smoother ...

A good budget phone.
by Aethiis on November 20, 2012
Pros: 1. Slide out Qwerty keyboard.
2. Wifi
3. Decent touch screen
4. Good Price
Cons: 1. Power button gets in the way a bit when using the slide out keyboard, takes a little getting used to when you text so you don't bump it.
2. Can be a little slow at times.
Summary: If you haven't had a very high end smart phone you won't really see any issues with this phone. You are buying a budget phone that works well ...

Summary: If you haven't had a very high end smart phone you won't really see any issues with this phone. You are buying a budget phone that works well and is well worth the money. If you compare this phone to others in its price range and class you'll find that this is one of the best you are going to get.
I have yet to have any real issues with anything, set up your "eco" options and you'll find even with using apps and browsing occasionally your battery life will last you the whole day.
Is it an overpriced Iphone? No.
Is it still a decent phone that lets you browse, play some games, listen to music, text, and make calls? Yes.
