    Decent phone. Won’t take videos, and takes low resolution pictures, but is durable. I’ve had mine for 3 years and it shows no sign of breaking.

    an excellent phone. only thing wrong is you can’t record videos. i dropped mine in a fire once and it still worked perfectly. also if you fiddle with the battery a little, you can use the flash feature as a flashlight. burns thru the battery kinda fast though
