Physical appearance:
Its size is just right for my hand and the weight is light so I can manage texting with one hand. It is smaller and less bulkier than HTC Chaha and Galaxy Pro and lighter, too.
I love the physical keypad for having ample-sized keys. The LCD capacitive screen is very responsive although the movement is not as buttery smooth as that of the Blackberry 9900 - for a fifth of the price, who can complain?
Privacy control
I'd like to emphasize this feature on this review. What I loved seeing on this phone is that the user can block selected phone numbers - a feature I missed from my past Android phone. Because of this, it is perfect as a business phone to help block incoming calls and texts from unwanted callers.
Although it has wifi and bluetooth features, it's still a simple phone without the bells and whistles of an iPhone, an Android Jelly Bean, or a Windows mobile. But I think I'm going to use this phone for a very long time. For those other mobile needs like emails and web browsing, you would have to use a phablet or those larger screen phones like the Samsung Galaxy S4 or the Experia Z. If it's only for basic communication, this is an excellent choice.
