This phone is horrible. I bought it about 2 years ago, and I have had problems with it since the day I got it. It always freezes, the internet does not work properly, and the ringtones sound like garbage. EVERYTHING costs money on this phone, from ringtones to text updates. You would think for how much the phone and the plan cost, that there would be something included. HOWEVER, there are only free talk time minutes to other T-mobile users. I can hardly hear when I am talking to some one on the phone. The phone is also an awkward size and shape, and whenever you hold it in the nook between your head and shoulder, the receiver of the call cannot hear you. I have dropped it many times and it is not resiliant to falls. It has never broken, but it just works a little bit slower each time. Calls are always cut off. I cannot send international text messages even though I can receive them, and the T-mobile customer service has been less than helpful.
