Phone shuts down of its own accord about 4 times a week and then partially restarts. This means that I can't rely on it as an alarm clock as it can shut down while I'm asleep. It's slow and the screen is fairly unresponsive. There were other glitches that I was able to iron out but it took a long time. Don't give this as an affordable present to someone who is not tech savvy or they'll have a phone that looks like a smart phone but actually isn't one without lots of playing around with it. An infuriating defect on this phone is that it displays an 'enjoy.now' message while it's laboriously going through its start up shtick and rage is closer to what I feel rather than 'enjoy'. Somebody at Nokia must be taking the proverbial.

I have to say its a pretty slow phone. After a month it just became impossibly hard to use. I downloaded a game and it didn't even work. I dropped it on a sort of tough carpet and the whole screen cracked. Any parenting softwhere doesn't work. I don't recommend buying this phone, it is cheap but barely works.

Only keep as an emergency phone. And don't get the "5033D" model like mine, it doesn't even come with a built in FM app! I had to download an internet based app like Tune In!

Got to admit up front that I'm an Apple person usually - I bought this phone only because there's an app I need to run, that only exists on Android. But I'm not an Android hater - my work phone is a Samsung and I get on with it well enough.
But this phone failed to meet even my low expectations. It won't connect to my WiFi - unlike *every* other device I've ever brought into the house. I've tried factory reset, etc etc, no luck.
Neither will it connect to my Mac over USB - the options to enable USB file transfer are greyed out on the phone, something to do with "cables" (came in the phone box) or "drivers" (again, *never* had an issue before).
I didn't buy a SIM with the phone - foolishly I thought one or both of the two options above would meet my needs - but since the only other way to get anything onto the phone is to repeatedly pull it apart and take out then put back in an SD card, I'm going to get a PAYG SIM just to avoid the hassle.
I'm back off to my iPhone now.

I have been using this phone for the past 5 years and if you just need to make calls big plus for me is the fact its super light weight and small so you don't even notice you have it in your pocket, screen is horrible tho but who cares since you cant really run any new social media apps anyway.

people claim to know about vehicles comparing this phone to a Moped and saying some people claim it to run like a Ferarri, get real if you want to talk vehicles then at least do it to the same equivalent which is a Ducatti not Ferrari, sounds like your trying to compare cheese and chalk!
