This phone is perfet for those who only make phone calls, and nothing else.  It is slim, and ultra-pocketable, the number buttons are large, but not too large.It seems to me that this phone does not exaggerate bars, meaning one signal bar is enough to make a reasonably clear call, although one signal bar is a rare circumstance for this phone, as it gets excellent reception compared with my two older phones (LG 1130, and a Motorola V3 RAZR).  Also, the battery status indicator seems to accurately portray how much time is left before charging is required (I ran it on 1 out of 5 bars out of the box for about 30 hours before deciding I should charge up).The screen is one of the easiest to read.  Daylight does not make this phone harder to read; in fact, more daylight increases the screen''s readability.  Call quality is excellent with the exception of speakerphone mode, which is a little on the quiet side.Although this phone has a great share of positive features, primarily its affordable price-tag, it is guaranteedly not for everyone.  The main problem I have experienced so far is that the phone has no means of deleting phonebook entries.  Other problems are that the screen lacks the ability and complexity to display text similar to printed-text, and looks more like the readout of a calculator, with pre-set icons to indicate menu selection.  Because of this, letters (such as names) on the phone are displayed with CERTAIN CoMbINATIoNS oF CAPITAL ANd LoWERCASE LETTERS, regardless of which letters should actually be capitalized.Another issue I''ve had with this phone is that its more advanced settings require the use of certain button combinations to access. i.e. turning off the keypad sounds requires you to press the following combination ***250*^ and these combinations are only available in the phone''s manual.  The other major issue is that this phone has no network update for date and time, which means that you''ll have to enter the date and time when you start up and from that point forward it slowly becomes inaccurate over the course of several months, until you decide to re-enter the date and time.Overall, for someone who is looking for a no-frills way of making calls on a GSM network, this is an excellent phone, but for those who are more used to things such as a traditional color screen, and the option to do things other than text messaging and calling, this is definitely something to steer clear of.
