Have had this phone for 2 months now. Good size, lightweight, easy to text on, very good battery life. Overall a very solid phone for the money.

I plan on buying this phone, I want something like this. Something like a Blackberry. I currently have the Virgin Mobile X-tc and I'm planning on buying this within the next two months or so, I'm going to be cheap and wait until it's on sale. (; Hahah, but I only have one question, are the texts threaded? Like AIM?

This is my first phone. First of all, it wasn't that expensive. It is very practical, thin, and light. Many people had it confused with a Blackberry. The only things that I do not like is that it doesn't have speakerphone, can't record videos, and it doesn't have very good bluetooth. Other than that, it is a good phone. :)

I bought this phone last month, I wanted a Blackberry but it is not time to upgrade through AT&T yet so this will do until then. The bluetooth on this phone sucks, I have not been able to connect it to my computer like other phones. The camera quality isn't the greatest and there is no video recording. This is the best phone, besides the Blackberry for text messaging though. It does not have memory card support but I don't have to delete text messages until after I've already reached 200+. I'm on an AT&T monthly plan so I simply bought this GO Phone and used my previous SIM card to stay on my plan. The main thing I don't like is you cannot delete the shortcut to the browser so if you hit that key a lot like I do, it connects you to the internet, but you can quickly end it by hitting the end call button. The sound quality is good enough for me, I rarely ever use the speakerphone. I only plan to use this phone til March 2009, when I upgrade to the Blackberry through AT&T for $149 (at Best Buy). If the main thing you are looking for is a good phone for text messaging, this is the phone for you. The keyboard is nearly identical to the Blackberry in size, and for me, makes it even faster to text than a standard cell phone.

I got this phone for $99 at best buy. It was the only decent looking phone there with AT&T go phone. So far I like the phone and its features. At first it acted weird when i was charging it for the first time. It just blinked off and on for a good 15minutes. I took the batter in and out several times before finally it just stopped. The camera could be better as far as quality, wish it had video. But by far everything else is great and ringer is very loud and display is bright along with keypads that light up. No memory card support on this phone. It does do mobile banking so you can link up a provider. Someone said no on blue tooth but I found the feature in the menu just have not tried to use it yet.

I've had the phone for about 2 months, and for the most part I love it. Love the keyboard, looove the ability to password protect applications, love the camera, the only part I do not like is the inability through Bluetooth. I was very dissappointed when I realized that. But if you want a phone that looks cool and one just for texting, this is your phone.

Ive had this phone for about a month and a half, right when they hit the shelves i got mine, it is a great phone for people wanting the look of a blackberry and basic features of a normal cell phone, it is excellent for texting, taking pictures, and using calender features. I would recommend this phone to anyone wanting the look and feel, just not the hefty price.

I've had this phone for about a month now. I didn't expect it to perform like an I-Phone so it comes as no surprise that it is a pretty basic phone. I wanted some PDA functions like appointment reminders and such. This phone delivers admirably. The sound quality is a bit scratchy at times and the camera doesn't match my high end Canons but it is serviceable. All in all it is a great value for 50 bucks. Getting the free 50 dollars air time is tricky. If you are moving your SIM from another gophone, AT&T will weasel out of giving you credit for the airtime (unless the old phone is less than 4 months old). Only new gophone accounts get the airtime. I raised hell and got the time credited to my wife's phone so it wasn't a total loss. Go with the $1 a day/ 10 cents a minute plan. If you call only AT&T mobiles like I do the air time is free so you basically pay a dollar a day for the phone service. Overall, I like the phone. Battery time is as advertised.
