Description:

This is a nice inexpensive camera flip phone with web 2.0 access. Battery life is acceptable, and reception may be somewhat better than other phones on the same network. This is a phone on the Verizon Wireless network with "Get It Now" capability, with games, IM, text and picture messaging, and more. One of the features I find the most useful is the calendar and alarm clock. The address book is fairly expansive, holding a home and work number, two cell numbers, a fax number, and 2 email addresses. There is no place to write notes or store street addresses, but this can be done using the vzw web site (My Account) and address book sync. The downside to this phone seems to be (at least in my experience) that it is somewhat fragile, probably in the flip joint connection. I've had to replace it twice in about a year.

    Very handy and useful phone in a small package. It also gets very good signal, even in marginal areas. It's pretty decent on batteries. It's not a five-star phone because of the potential to get damaged at the flip joint. I don't know if this is a problem with all flip phones, or just this one.
