Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I just got this phone over the weekend. This is my first Touch Screen phone so I have nothing else to compare it to. It's very nice. Very pretty phone. I love the Berry color.
This phone has a virtual qwerty keyboard for texting. This is the #1 feature I had to have for a phone. It's very simple to use. I love that I can set my favorite song as the ring tone. MP3 player works great. I can assign a photo to a contact so a picture comes up when someone is calling. Very cute! You do not have to have a data plan for this phone. I only have a talk & text plan. Games are fun. Cheap to download.
My main complaint is when taking a photo, the photo is saved flipped to 90 degrees. You have to edit the photo to flip it around again and resave.
A suggestion, when putting new contacts into your phone, make sure you fix the settings to save contacts to your sim card before hand or it will only save to your phone.
I am a mom of two teenagers so I had to get a texting phone to communicate easier with them. I am not real cell phone saavy so I love that this phone is very user-friendly! Fits my needs wonderfully!

T-Mobile Services
High-speed data connectivity via T-Mobile's 3G network: In addition to its quad-band GSM connectivity, this phone is also compatible with T-Mobile's UMTS/HSDPA 3G network, which operates on the 1700/2100 MHz AWS spectrum. This phone is designed to automatically connect to the best available network (3G or GSM/GPRS/EDGE) to provide faster data speeds when accessing the Web or downloading content from the T-Mobile Web2go content portal. T-Mobile is currently rolling out its 3G network, and it expects by year's end that its high-speed data network will be available in those cities where a majority of its subscribers currently use data services.
In areas where the 3G network is not available, you'll continue to receive service on the via T-Mobile's EDGE network (which stands for "Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution"). This high-speed, mobile data and Internet access technology is fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services (with average data speeds between 75-135Kbps), including full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and email on the go.
While this phone is optimized for use with T-Mobile's high-speed 3G network, many of its functions will also work well on the moderate-speed EDGE network. If you plan to access the Internet extensively on your phone, 3G network coverage may serve you best.
Activities that work well on EDGE or 3G networks:
Email, instant messaging, and texting
Downloading ringtones, CallerTunes, wallpaper, light data files
Sending photographs via e-mail or picture messaging
Activities that work best on a 3G network:
Viewing content-heavy websites (lots of images or videos playing)
Viewing YouTube and other video files (they will play on EDGE, but require loading time)
Uploading large files (photos, videos, presentations) to sharing websites
Downloading large files from an e-mail or a website
