Beyond my expectations!
1 of 1 found this helpful Phone arrived a day before expected and well packaged. It was in such great condition I had to look long and closely for any cosmetic imperfections. This phone is better than I remembered it in 2010. It is compact but sturdy, the QWERTY keyboard will take some getting used to but that is the primary reason I bought this phone. For the price the camera isn't horrible and the screen is suprisingly clear. Not as amazing as a more modern screen but definitely better than I remember for a six year old phone. Phone calls and texts worked as soon as I put my SIM card in but I had to manually set the APN to get data to work. I haven't figured out how to configure HSPA+ yet so it's on EDGE. As soon as I opened up the web browser I realized the phone is on Chine firmware after it took me immediately to Hong Kong's Google. This may be the reason for my data settings not working right out of the package. Nothing a call to T-Mobile customer service won't most likely fix and if not it's still a great deal. I plan on using it mostly for business calls and text, I have another more modern phone for data and recreational use. I might root it and install a more up to date custom ROM and if successful I can see myself using this phone quite often.
