Advantages: easy to use, plenty of features

Disadvantages: None really

I have never been any good at texting so had some bulky phone with a keyboard which the contract was about to end. I wanted something that I was happy to take out of my bag in public but that I could actually use most of the functions, especially text! I decided to give the Arena a try and was surprised as just how easy it was to use, in no time I was sending texts with ease and made full use of the other functions, alarms, calendar, camera, video camera. There are still a few things that I haven't played with but on the whole I think it's a great phone. I did worry that it might get scratched but so far mine still looks as good as the day I got it so I personally didn't need any protective case etc. The internet capabilities are maybe not quite as fast as I would like but is adequate. My daughter has the same phone and has no problem keeping up with the social sites. I have dropped it a couple of times and it seems very sturdy. The camera could be better though, it seems to take forever to *click* by which time the subject has looked away but the quality of the photo is great. Size wise its perfect, slips nicely into one of the pockets in my bag. One thing about the texting though, I end up hitting something that all of a sudden has me texting is Russian or some other language, I have very small fingers though so touch screen is perfect for me, I can see how people with larger hands might have problems not hitting other letters. I will stick with this type of phone from now on.
