If this phone had 512 MB of internal usable memory (or heck even 256) it would be the best budget phone. But due to the limited internal mem, I had to do a little searching and rooting. I ended up with Cyanogenmod 7 and a data-2-SD setup so now the phone "thinks" there's 1 GB (or otherwise a specifiable amount) of internal storage for lots more apps. Recommend a 32 GB class 10/UHS 1 sd card for best results (and space obvs).

This phone is a little rough around the edges, but you can smooth them out yourself to make it shine.

I hate this phone, my biggest issue is that the internal memory is so bad you can only download an app or 2 then the internal memory is full and that really sucks. I will say it has lasted me a long time and has proven very durable, I have dropped it a couple times and it still works but it does have a mind of it's own and it's pretty slow even with 3g activated. I finally came up with the cash to upgrade and can't wait to throw this phone in the trash!

I have had this phone for 9 months and love it. The first couple days getting used to it was tough. Now I am unable to update the operating system. Is this phone capable of running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, which is necessary to use mobile banking?

The phone automatically switches into sleep more when a call is made or received. Usually when you pull the phone away from your head it switches back on. Without a proximity sensor the phone is unable to d o this so you have to do it manually...

i love the phone its awsome but the first day i bought it , it froze on me as well as it does every day now and i have only had it for a week everytime i make a call and try to end the call i cant end it because the screen freezes but if i touch the power button and i unlock the phone it works again. so maybe its just the phone or the software.

I hate this phone. not getting texts and have to reset it everyday. Now phone won't even reset. It is stuck on 100% reset, when it should reboot at 100%. going on 2 hours now and phone has not reset itself. This is crazy and a waste of my money. Only had the phone for a month wow. Paid 1 bill and having trouble already. I'm getting rid of it as soon as I can. I rather go back to basic then this phone.
