Advantages: Simple, elegant, easy to use, uncluttered.

Disadvantages: Low memory, buttons are a pain for texting, not many features.

I own a pink one of these, and my parents both own black ones (hence why mine is pink, but that's another story). Overall, I'm happy enough with my phone; it was well-priced, its sleek, it has a nice feel, and it's good for making calls. I wouldn't say it was absolutely amazing though, since there are a few things about it I would change.

The Good: It looks nice. This is a bigger deal than it'd appear on the outset, but it's sleek, and a nice shape, and LOOKS like a phone (rather than some alien pod thing that beeps). The screen is a good size, I like the fact that it's a flip phone and thereby eliminates the change of accidentally pushing buttons while it's in your pocket, and it's a decent price for a mobile.

The Bad: You get what you pay for. It's a simple phone, with little in the way of extras (though it does have a camera, so that's a plus point). The on board memory is small, and only allows you to store about 100 texts at any one time - this is for both your outbox and your inbox, and your drafts, etc. The buttons are great at the start, but if you text a lot as I'm prone to do, they have a tendency to crack and weaken, and you'll eventually find yourself pressing the same button ten times to make it type one letter.

Summary: Overall, its a good first or second phone, and there's a lot to commend it, but if you'd like to text a lot or maybe save more messages then this possibly isn't the phone for you.

Summary: Good if you only need a simple phone and don't text much.
