I think this is a very high quality of phone and also very reasonably priced.  Verizon was doing a promotion awhile back so I got the phone for free after a mail-in rebate.  But it is still one I would have bought anyway.  I find the battery quality to be very sufficient and I only have to charge it every couple of days.  I've had the phone for over six months already and the battery's life/quality has not diminished.  It's an easy to use phone which is helpful if you're not a techie.  The camera is decent and the speaker phone function works well.  It's compact and yet has various features....
