I wasn't impressed with the phone. It didn't have what has become the basics, i.e., camera and Mp player. The signal also kept dropping. Not worth it.

Ok ya'll, I am a 76yr old woman and have slight memory problems. Now, as a 76yr old woman I have old, OLD friends and some have awful memories.

One of my friends bought the Motorola i290. Oh Lord, this phone is so nice. It has something called a GPS system, which was so helpful after she got her head stuck in the sliding doors at the grocery store. Also, she enjoys the sturdiness of the phone and here's why:

- Every night Gladys puts her teeth out to soak. Well, one time she put her phone in the glass instead and left it there all night. When she woke up she tried to put the damn phone in her mouth she chomped on it. Surprisingly, the phone still works. Of course, the poor dear about had a heart-attack over the Walkie-Talkie feature. She'll be out of the ICU next Tuesday. Amen

The call quality on this phone was ok but the phone itself is cheap. It feels really light and made out of some cheap plastic. I dropped it a month after I bought it and a piece popped off.
