        I still use this as my music player. I have an 8 gig sim full of music. I have had to clean the buttons several times over the years, but it works well.

              works good with Cyanogenmod 4.4.4 even in 2019.
              calls, sms, whatsapp...
              no web, bcs of outdated web-engine and lack of RAM

              Good second phone.

              it's small!!! it's really small and fits in any pocket.
              Hope i find something new with the same case, but no luck

                      Is there a patch to allow 1700 to the G3. I'm still trying to use this phone for wind canada.
                      Apparently 2100 is not the whole story and needs 1700 as well. Been trying for years to get this oldie to work before it or I die. Ahah ha.

                        Great phone. If any of you hate it, that is because you didn't pick the phone for you. So stop hating on it.

                            It is a well phone.But there is a problem.This phone has a low processor and ram.Sometime it makes me rude and angry with respect this.It works very very slow than other phone.In addition,there is not front camera so you can't have a facility of video call.In order to using inter nate voice call ,it gone very hot and go for shut down.Really barrasing.I suggest all of new user please don't think to buy it.
