    A great phone indeed, there is a downside though… I still liked the slide feature of it makes it sleek and functional at some aspects but it’s also making the phone break easily, the ribbon connecting the phone’s face and base is not that durable to withstand frequent usage.

    When it first came out, people were rushing to buy it. Now, nobody cares about it. It’s because other phones are smart phones.
