This is possibly the most durable and indestructible phone we seen in a very long time! It has exceptional battery life, and bulletproof build quality. This is not a smartphone by any means, but that's the point. It's a "blue collar" phone. There is no browser, no GPS, it just functions as a cell phone. And an mp3 player. And flashlight. It's a basic and simple as it gets. We use these fully 4G phones with a $30 annual plan from RedPocket (Yes, $30 for a full year @ 200 minutes/1000 texts/200MB a month) on the T-Mobile network when we go into environments that could probably kill most smart phones. You soon realize it has become more of a tool you carry, than a phone. It has a very large and loud speaker that can be heard in most industrial environments, something that can't happen with a standard smartphone. And the flashlight is an exceptionally bright LED that is positioned at the top of the phone, making it far more suitable for professional use. Just holding down the "0" button on the dial pad for a couple of seconds will cut the light on and off. It has an orange button on the side that can be programmed to bring up the most need functions when you're using a pair of gloves. That's what I'm so making. Excellent phone for a child, or maybe even a punishment phone for ateenager! It has great reception and an extremely long battery life, and having a docking station for charging is a big advantage. You would have to go out of your way to damage a phone like this, as it is designed for the worst environments possible.

Nice size for a senior, good for my mom of 90+ y.o. Two issues detract from it: the need to press 2 buttons to unlock the phone, and entering new contacts, which is a pain due to the phone using a predictive tool which rather than helping, prolongs and complicates what should be a simple process.

Just what I was looking for. A phone, no knobs, bells or whistles. I just want to talk or text on occasion. A pocket computer is not what I need.
