Good, cheap phone
It's nice to have a phone you don't have to worry too much about breaking or losing. It's not cost effective to insure one, as you can buy another one outright for the deductible. This phone is perfect for a kid or teen, or as a spare for one's main cell phone.
Bought one a little over two years ago for around $100 - which was a bargain at the time. It's not the greatest phone in the world by any means, but it handles the basics just fine.. Not many folks have two phone accounts for themselves in the USA, but it supports dual SIMs if you want that. Interestingly enough, the circuit board looks like it made to also possibly support a third SIM.
Reception and call quality are good, battery life is very good, apps respond well, and the phone can be tethered and be used as a hotspot on Net10/Straight Talk. It can be rooted quickly with Kingo Root to remove bloat, and for other functions that require rooting to accomplish.
The cameras and screen viewing angle are what they compromised on to bring the price down, so if these are deal breakers for you, you've been warned. Otherwise, not bad for $50-$60, I'd say!
