The main reason I bought this phone was because it can make calls via wi-fi since T-mobile's reception is terrible in my new house. Using wi-fi is seemlesss once you enter the passkey to your network. It automatically switches to my network at home and then goes back to T-mobile's when I leave the house. It is literally "set it and forget it". The wi-fi calling has a slight delay in the conversations but it is better than getting the calls dropped or not having the phone ring. Other than the wi-fi calling feature, this is just an average phone. There is very little customization as far as the menus and shortcuts go which I find frustrating. The right key on the homescreen is stuck being "t-zones" which is something that I will rarely, if ever, use. It would be nice to be able to make that key do something else. My biggest gripe is that when texting the mode defaults to "T9" which drives me crazy. Every time I text I have to go into options to change it to "ABC". I haven't found a way to make it be able to default to that each time. Pros - Wi-fi calling, feels solid, affordable Cons - little customization, low screen resolution, very difficult to open with just one hand, you have to hold a button for a while to get the time to light up on the display when closedRead full review
Getting off the contract treadmill. Tired of paying high prices every month. I bought this phone-unlocked-for the wifi capabilities, the pay as you go option with TMobile and the music. I am very tired of being locked into one carrier at high contract prices every month as I am on a limited budget-this phine works for everything I use a cell phone for and it works in my home on my wifi network here for no extra costs...It was reasonable easy to activate with a phone call to TMobile and has functioned beautifully. No dropped calls. The sound is good. The price of the phone itself was right. What more could someone of my generation want?
In it's day this phone came with a T-Mobile Plan MY FAVES that featured synchronization that saved many items on on a mobile website. I could backup my contacts and pictures with one touch. The phone is sturdy and has a pretty good mp3 player. I could call five friends (faves) unlimited and with my T-Mobile Router I could surf the web unlimited. Just $30 dollars a month gave me 1500 minutes talk and texts. Through the T-Mobile tower I had 30 mbs of internet. The phone features WiFi and Bluetooth connections AIM, ICQ, Windows Live and Yahoo! sms messaging. I especially loved sending animated gif images with mp3 or amr messages/ringtones. I picked up quite a few midi music files of which some are excellent. I even got some short movie clips. The camera and video recorders work for short clips Wow! What a powerhouse. T-Mobile "grandfathered" my rate plan but dropped our contract so now it's pay-as-you-go. No more syncing and all the web sites are too rich in data for this unit to handle anymore. Hardly any games will load in it anymore. Smart phones rule the day. I still use the phone despite all the anachronisms because it is small, simple, cheap and has a good music player.Read full review

I like the mp3, the flip phone, the great net connection, the wifi and the compact size. In fact it is overall a good deal but the volume on the ringer is so low I can barely hear it. If I knew how to overcome this it would be a 4.5 out of 5 phone. Having had 50 or so phones I have so phones I have some knowledge of them so that is my basis. Again, in its favor, the back case (battery cover) is easily removable and, if you use a sharp knife carefully, you can remove the front cover (stickum underneath) and replace or repaint it. Overall it is a plus but with the volume problem. delldevoted/3/20/2010
