Phone owned for less than a year

It's a really good phone but the camera is terrible!!! The phone memory is quite low so learn to send all your pictures to the SIM card, Hotmail worked for me for 4 months only. It's a great emergency phone or starter cell. Def!!!

So far, this phone is extreemely pleasing to me (: I'd definitely recommend it to anyone :D The touch screen is Fantasticccc, compared to my old, laggy phone; the Samsung Gravity T. And, I love the fact that it has a QWERTY keyboard, which is comfy to use, so it's easy for me to text (: and, Thread SMS is amaaazing! Haha, and the multi-tasking, i loveloveLOVE that part, so when I'm browsing on the Internet, and I get a text, I don't have to exit the internet, just to read the text :D The applications are also really fun (: I'm also glad that they have a radio, and an easy earplug jack, unlike most samsung phones. So, as of right now, I'm completely satisfied :D
