Versatile and convenient!

I upgraded from my good ol' standby Nokia 6020's a few months back, not expecting any of the newer, smaller, more delicate-looking phones to stand the test of my 15 year old grandson and my own malady called "dropsy". I was used to the easy, simple, un-technical little coffin-shaped Nokia's we'd carried for the past three years, and I was nervous about all the technical doo-dads and the bells and whistles included in the funny-looking little flip-phone I ended up with.
Well, to my amazement, the darned things were pretty simple to use. Simple to understand. Fun to have. Convenient. And so small, compared to my old phones!
I was snapping pictures of the grand baby one day, and by accident found that I could get a 10-second video with sound! What a gem! I can pull out my phone and proudly show off the cuter-than-yours kiddies blowing out birthday candles, or singing off-key!
Being an un-technical, cell phone illiterate, I was surprised that it was so simple to figure out. Here I am (the woman who has to ask her grandson to program the darned VCR), taking pictures, making video clips, sending text messages, downloading all sorts of goodies, and playing itsy-bitsy little games while waiting in line at the supermarket!
And each time I have dropped the phone, it has come out of it unscathed. Tough little bugger. However, the one my grandson dropped as he crossed the street did not survive being run over by six cars and two trucks. The battery and sim card and the SD memory chip survived, but the rest was lost to the living. Some things just can't be saved.
Although the camera takes great full-light pics, it doesn't do too well in a low-light situation. All in all, it's a great little phone for the money (especially when you get it free with the upgrade, and get a $30 rebate on top of that!) I did have to replace the slam-danced one the kid dropped in the crosswalk, but even the used one is great! I wish they could have added a longer life battery, but with the phone so slim, that would have been pretty hard to do without exorbitant costs. It makes up for being short-lived by fully charging in less than three hours, though, so no complaints there.
