i bought this phone after my at&t contract phone died. at&t has a rather limited selection of gophones, and so for $99 it came between this and a razr. the phone is really just average, but with full qwerty keyboard which is a plus. i do not browse the web at all so i cannot comment on that. it's really just a great replacement phone for someone who texts fairly often, but doesn't browse the web. bluetooth shortcomings were frustrating.

Is there an auto delete option for when the memory is full it will delete messages instead of doing it manually?

I am looking @ this AT&T go phone, to take back control of my exspenses. I have had a Blackberry Pearl with a sd card slot and the ability to bluetooth files from one device to another and an mp3 player, guess what I never used them. I am looking for a phone to take calls, check emails, receive text messages for potential leads, veiw websites posting those leads. I think this is the phone that will serve my purpose with out a contract with a carrier that for some reason keeps double billing me for apps on my plan.I can get a prepaid plan for voice and data for about $75.00.

It looks nice to me. It comes in blue rather than black. I bought it mainly for looks, the QWERTY keyboard was a bonus for texting. If you like to text with a good looking phone, I'd recommend it.

ive owned this phone for about a month now and i have to say i am not too impressed. this phone would have been impressive about 5 years ago. this phone masquerades as a feature-rich phone with it's blackberry-ish layout, but it's a basic phone beyond that. for a brand new phone in 2009 at this price range it is surprisingly lacking on features that have become pretty much standard on phones costing half the price. no stereo bluetooth. no voice dialing. no video recording. no sd card slot. only 16mb storage, cant set anything over 300kb as a ringtone, no 3G, can't change the message tone, measly 1mp camera...and the features lacking goes on and on. it would be an acceptable phone at $50, but definitely not for the $100 range. If you want features, you can do alot better for the price. look to the virgin shuttle, for example. the only reason to own this phone is if you want a querty keyboard/large screen/blackberry-ish looking phone to impress your friends.
