Since it is older technology, its functions are slower than the newer ones. It also seems to fill up the message memory rather quickly, which then has to be erased manually unless you have saved what you want to save (e.g., pictures) as you get them so as to be able to do a batch erase. Battery life is such that it needs recharging about every other day. I have had my first one for about 3 years and have liked its small size so it's not a bulge in my pocket; I got a second one just recently to replace the first since it was starting to be unreliable. The camera does not take high quality pictures but it all depends on what you want them for. I just don't want to pay the monthly data fee for a smart phone so I have opted to stick with a small, light-weight, touch-screen phone, at least for now!Read full review

Best non-smartphone on the market. Contrary to what some people say; the phone is easy to use, navigate, text from (I'm a fast text'er and it works just fine) and hear phone calls just fine. The screen is bright/vivid. Always has very good reception/signal. The speaker is VERY loud for it's size. Calls are loud AND clear! Also, music quality is good and is loud as well. Buttons all function as supposed to and don't stick/hang up. Photo quality is decent, nothing horrible, nothing great. The touchscreen is very responsive for what it is. It's no iPhone, but it's up to par! Battery life is good as well. Just a few small things I would change (personally). You can only send "GROUP" picture messages, when sending to more than 1 person. So, that sucks when someone replies and everyone can see their response. Another thing, it only comes in red… doesn't bother me, but if they made it more colors, i think it would be more marketable. But, its nothing a phone case can't change, lol. Also, I wish you could view picture messages during calls. All in all: 4 stars out of 5.Read full review
..be aware that this phone can have a software issue that verizon and pantech technical support cannot resolve..! 2 out of the 3 i've had, have had this issue..! the problem is when buying a previously owned Hotshot it is impossible to clear the previous owners phone number from Backup Assistant, so you won't be able to use Backup Assistant..! Backup Assistant is a permanent program with this phone, unlike many other phones where you can uninstall and reinstall it.. i would recommend buying a new one to avoid this issue..! otherwise i do like this phone a lot, it's not as responsive as a smart phone, but it has fun graphics, a functional layout, good reception, good camera, and good sound for being so thin.. the screen does scratch easy so get a protector..! and it's made of a light weight plastic so it won't hold up to abuse... i would give it 3 1/2 stars overall..! good luck..Read full review
this is a good beginner phone and especially if you want a beginner to a smart phone..will get you use to using touch. it doesnt do apps. it can get on internet if you have a plan. dont have WIFI on it. I dont have a bit of problem with it... it sends text and gets texts just fine. Im not a big talker on the phone.. so my battery last me a while.. if you dont like a flip phone and hate texting using the old fashion way and want a keyboard.... and want just a basic phone.. then I recommend it..it is very light weight.. you dont even know it is in your pocket. you can add memory to it. it is has a speaker on it if you dont want to hold the phone to your ear all the time... just a great little phone

I bought this phone for a nice user-friendly phone, but the phone is horrible. The touch screen is very sensitive. If I try to touch Message then it slides over to the next screen. My sister also got this phone and it was great for about five months and then it started to get really sensitive. When I turn my phone on sometimes it just randomly turns all the way off and then turns itself back on again. If I try to text someone and I try to say 'Hey' it will end up saying 'hst' or something. When you call someone and you want to hang up you have to touch the end button on the screen. When you are listening to your voice-mails, you have to click on keyboard which will show you the numbers that you type your password in to then when you go to hang up you can't press the button in the bottom-center of the phone you have to click keyboard again so it will go away. This phone has some good qualities and it looks cool but there are so many querks in it. This phone is very hard to buy accessories for. you usually have to buy them online.Read full review
