"A smartphone that is basic and cheap."
by wmchin2003 on May 4, 2013
Pros: A good phone that is cheap.
Small and portable.

Can't play Pandora Music App.
Certain placement of corner icons.
Small internal memory.

Summary: This phone is okay if you want to use it for basic phone calls, basic web browsing and simple games. However, I don't like it when you have a phone call, if your ear hits the upper corner of the screen by accident, you mute your call. You can't play the Pandora app since it somewhat doesn't play the music and skips to the next song over and over again. Plus, since it is the 2.1 (Eclair) OS, you can't play Adobe Flash Player sites. Also, since the internal memory is small, apps will install in there and not on the SD card (yet there is probably a way to do this but I don't know how...)

Summary: The phone is amazing, it is enough for me to believe that the Android Mobile Operating system is the best fit for me. The phone which I bought with Android 2.1 already installed is very customizable, if only it had more internal memory or the capability to have apps installed in the SD Card it would have been perfect. It also has amazing sound output, especially if it is routed through earphones. Overall, the phone is very good for first time users like me as it opens the eyes to the possibilities that lie well within the Android mobile OS.
