I’m like you too! Haha I read the reviews and everything and I knew it was a horrible phone according to everyone.. but I was stubborn and got it anyway and nevertheless, the reviews were true. I mean I can deal with the freezing and what not but it does get annoying that it freezes all the time. I don’t use the internet or anything. This phone comes with a free radio and I use that alot and text and talk on the phone. Thats all and the phone freezes and sends duplicate texts. This isnt really a big problem to me though but if u have low patience then maybe this phone isnt for you.. I’m still waiting to see if At&t coomes out with any other phones so that I can return this phone and get a better one..but so far I’m keeping this phone. On a scale one to ten Id give this phone like a 6-7. Its features are really nice but honestly it lacks the simple things.
1. It doesnt have a timer. Like..wtf. All phones have timers. I need the timer for running and brushing my teeth so thats kind of inconvenient.
2. The phone doesnt come with a notepad. It kind of sucks when u hear a song in a store and u wanna write down what it is but cant…
3. You have to turn on the internet to send picture mail. Thats really irritating. I was on the phone with customer service for an hour just for them to tell me that I need to turn on my internet to send picture messages. I dont have data plan so that annoying.
4. You have to set your own time. So like sometimes my texts come in at a differnt time than the time i set. They do have an automatic time set but for some reason the automatic one on my phone has the wrong time so I had to set the time myself.
5. When your on the phone and u get a text it buzzes really loud. I’ve had this phone for 2 weeks and Ii still cant figure out how to turn that off or something when I’m on the phone.
So yeah.. its your call. I’m saying exactly as it is. The phone could be better.
