I like this phone! Had to buy a replacement phone cause my kids ruined mine. One of the last touch screens at&t sales that do not require data package to use which is of no use to me. I picked up the purple instead of the black this time to save myself an extra 60 dollars. With a bit of luck i can keep this one from the kids. Husband liked it so much he traded up to it as well.
