REVIEW:

4/5 RATING

The keypads are tad smaller than other models but I like that it has a trackpad instead of a tracking ball. I think it has longer and better battery life. It's very user-friendly, easy to navigate. Web browsing is fantastic although there aren't a lot of apps available for this model. No problems with signal so far. It has high resolution screen. For the price, I'd say it's an excellent cell phone.
