I have no need for the bells and whistles that often overburden most "hip" phones today.

Great for the price:
Overall good product. Very lightweight and love the soft feeling the outside of the phone has. The back cover is very tricky to get off.

Good for the price...:
Very lightweight and easy to use; similar to the VM Marbl phone but slightly more advanced. Cool outer soft shell almost feels like a cover. Very basic phone but for under $20 its definately worth it if you don't want a contract. When inserting the battery the back cover is very hard to remove it almost feels like it will break when you pry it off.
