Value for the money, but do you really want a smart phone?
4 of 5 found this helpful I bought this phone to run some Android aps. I didn't wish to sign a 2 year contract just to see what a smart phone could do and to try the aps. You can connect to the internet using a wifi hotspot to down load aps and updates.
Well...Surprise Surprise.. First thing this device insists you do is activate with Verizon and pay them $30/mo for Smart phone service.
As a phone I'll take my old flip phone any day. To call my wife I'd flip it open, press her speed dial # and hit send.
I could do it all holding the phone in one hand. With this thing you have to get it out of the case, turn it on, select phone, select favorites, pick the number and then send.
The capacitive touch keyboard is awfully sensitive, and in portrait orientation impossible to type intelligently. In landscape orientation, holding it in one hand and using the pinky finger of the other, I can get the right letter about 30% of the time. There is an app called Swift Key that is quite good at guessing what you tried to hit, and give you 3 choices for the proper word. No way I can type on this thing with two thumbs like the kids do.
I spent quite a bit of time researching Android phones and the aps. Nothing was mentioned about having to be activated with Verizon premium service.
All in all if you want a smart phone I guess this is a good one, not the latest in tech, but you aren't signing up for 2 years either.

Very hard to use
They are magnetic.
They are made from a thick metal which causes them to be very stiff and hard to open.
