For example, the keys on the keypad aren't so small or so supersensitive as to make texting difficult. And, as someone who isn't always sure that I've grabbed everything that I need before I've headed out the door, the fact that this is a relatively heavy (for it's size) phone is a plus, as you always know when it's in your pocket/clipped on your belt. Also, as I soon discovered, the bloody thing is practically bulletproof: I must have dropped it at least 8 or 9 times by now and it's just got a couple of minor scratches to show for it. Furthermore, just about all of the features described above come in handy and are easy to use, basic though they are. <br /> <br />As for the negatives, well, the battery charge doesn't last especially long ('tho it does recharge pretty quickly) and it's rather difficult to open up one-handed, as its surface is a bit on the slippery side and as it doesn't have any notches or grooves on it to facilitate opening it in this manner (which is one of the reasons why I keep dropping it). <br /> <br />All in all, if you're looking for a simple, inexpensive phone, give this one some consideration.

The camera is really sucky my kids cheapo toy camera takes better pics than this thing. Unless you are real tight on cash avoid this phone.
