Rating: 2/5i just want the "mp3 player" feature to work
Pros: 2 eggs because my questions about getting the mp3 player to function appear to have been dodged by the manufacturer. this was one of the main reasons i purchased this inexpensive phone. i would have spent another 20 dollars over the 27 i paid if i could have gotten a functional mp3 player.
i have owned and used this phone for a little over 3 months. it is the least expensive unlocked phone i could find that claims* to be an mp3 player. call quality and regular texting are satisfactory for the price.
Cons: very small buttons and would not recommend to those that text 100's of times each week. maybe if you have smaller hands and fingers but even than the texting feature is primitive compared to the samsung phone i had previously.
mp3 does not work and the multiple emails to the only address i can find for the manufacturer have not been responded too.
does not appear there is quick access to voicemail. after speaking with my carrier they mentioned it was not on their end so i assume its the phone that requires the password and when i try to deactivate the required password feature using their prompts it says that feature is not possible at this time.
Other Thoughts: if anyone knows how to get their phone to recognize their mp3 on their microsd card can they please share it with the community? i assume the folder may need a specific name? maybe even case sensitive? i have tried the common My Music and Music and do not recall it working correctly. if i go into file manager i can play one song at a time.

Rating: 3/5Very usable phone with a few short-comings
Pros: - Very affordable - Easy to setup and easy to use - Very good battery life - Has QWERTY keyboard
Cons: - User manual is not complete - No quick key to lock keyboard - Camera is very slow and poor quality pictures - Memory is so small, you can't send MMS pictures - Memory is so small, you can only receive very low res pictures.
Other Thoughts: I bought this for my daughter to be able to call and text with our family T-Mobile plan. Setup was pretty quick and easy, but I was disappointed to see that MMS is almost unusable.
For $20-30, it does the job pretty well. The retail price ($70) is too high.

Rating: 1/5not good after-sale service
Pros: cheap
Cons: looks small, but too much delicately made. It's damaged on screen display just after a air trip, only put in the carry-in baggage, and within the original box! Now I have to read a incomplete screen display!
Other Thoughts: no purchase on this brand any more.

Rating: 4/5Great Backup Phone
Pros: Very light and small. Qwerty keyboard. Feels durable. Performs well as an entry-level phone.
Cons: No threaded-style text messages. Slow menus. Limited instructions/set-up. I had to figure out how to lock the phone (holding middle button and space bar) and etc. by playing with it. Haven't figured out how change home screen icons.
Other Thoughts: I bought this phone to use when I go out since my normal phone is quite large and valuable. This phone was only $20 when it was on sale so I'd recommend buying it when it goes on sale again. I do not think I could actually use this phone as a normal phone since it is quite dated.

Rating: 4/5not bad
Pros: Cheap when on sale. Dual SIMs. Quad band. MicroSD. Music player. FM radio. Physical keyboard.
Comes with a MicroUSB cable and a charger. Works as a USB drive when you plug it into the computer (also says it can function as a webcam).
Cons: Garbage camera (says it's 1.3mp, but it produces tiny, tiny images). Software is hilarious after coming from a real smartphone. Instructions are basically non-existent.
Other Thoughts: If you need a cheap phone while you're waiting for a replacement for your smartphone, you could do worse. Or you can give this to a kid and not care about it getting broken or lost.
Does anyone know how to update the apps on this (Facebook, twitter, etc.)? I can't get it to work, and Blu customer service is useless.

Rating: 5/5great price,great phone
Pros: price,nice sized qwerty keyboard,a simple phone and text unit
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: I bought 2 of these because my kids with their fancy phones and my wife with a basic phone like to text a lot. so these are for me and my wife to make the texting easier and they do even for my old eyes I can see the keyboard.
