I saw this phone online, and was really interested in buying it. After I ordered it, I read some reviews that said it wasn't so great, and was a little worried. But, I absolutely love this phone. It is the perfect size, the light effects are very cool, ringtone volume is perfectly loud enough, and I can hear the other person just fine. The light-up front cover is very cool too, though, it is hard to see in broad daylight. It's the perfect phone for a teen, like myself.
