I will start out by saying, as in the subject, this is the worst cell phone I have ever encountered. The only reason I have it is because I recieved it after a previous phone of mine had water damage and I contacted my insurance (what a rip-off). I have only had it a couple of months, but I am now spending money I don't really have to get a phone worth using. Everything about the phone is basic and minimal at best. The number and graphics space, the games, the calculator, the MyTones, the chat, the customization options, and the rest of the features are below par, and often non-functional. I'm not very big on all the high-tech features that come in phones today, but this one even disappoints me. The screen is tiny with very few pixels and my atenna (which sxcrews on) fell off after only a few weeks, and won't stay in without tape or super glue. This phone is a HUGE disappointment, and I recommend that NO ONE buy this phone. I would go so far as to say not to accept it even if it is FREE.
