^ok read that review. It basically shows a lot of disappointment because of how basic the feature set is, and calls the phone dated. The camera sucks yeah, but the battery life is really good. It depends on what you are looking for not everyone wants, or need a droid, or a phone with an app ecosystem, they might just want a phone. This is a budget offering, and the phones not as bad as its made out to be. Plus, have you seen the thing? it looks pretty good compared to other phones at the price point, but its pretty bulky, so this is a subjective point but putting it out there.
