I found that this phone is perfect for my 12 year old as his first phone. It does what it needs. Texts, calls, basic internet, apps, it seems to work well and is Android based so he uses What'sApp to text overseas on our regular data plan without additional charges. He has dropped it and it has managed to not be cracked or broken yet. It is difficult to find covers and accessories as it is not a popular name brand, but since it was below $100 for the phone, I don't think I will worry too much about trying to keep it so nice. Once he breaks this one, he knows he has to pay for the next one. I would recommend this for someone who doesn't need a fancy phone and just wants affordable and functional. It was a great price at $60 and does everything my husband's Samsung does and most of what my iPhone4 does.

Gave this as a gift to be used in Canada. This is a great phone for a starter smart phone. Very easy to use and the instructions are easy to follow. The only issues so far are that the phone froze one time, and had to be turned off to restore, finding a decent case is hard and the charger blew, need to be careful of the type of voltage you plug it in. Other that those few hiccups this is a very nice phone.

small size in comparison to other android phones but does the job.
seems to have everything the 'big guys' have. you cant beat the price for entry level onto the android phone market. Haven't used the camera so unable to comment on that. I would advise to check other reviews for photo quality.

easy to use phone and makes it more adaptable especially using it outside the US as you can purchase other SIM card and plug it in the second SIM slot. good for the price. you may want to expand the memory to store more pictures and videos, depending on the intended use.

This is not my first Blu phone, and for the price you get a great quality product, comes with dual sim card which for me is an excellent feature because I fly overseas and allows me to have 2 different numbers.

I got my dad this phone as his first touch screen smart phone. It is easy to use so he likes it so far. He can get pictures of his grandkids and whatsapp. Camera is weak but he doesn't care because he's receiving pics not sending.

Good shape and good work, search the web, e-mail, watch internet video, download google apps fast...can do everything just like a tablet.
Only one problem: you have to charge the phone every 1 or 2 days.

Worth it if you're looking for a decent, cheap temp phone or don't need a high-end phone. Full android capability though.

I needed more memory so I decided to look for a phone that was unlocked but wasn't trying to pay a lot of money. I came across this phone for 49.99 at the time and it was easy to set up with the sim card I had from T-Mobile. Basic phone with option to add your own memory card for more apps/ pictures... Camera isn't the best of course but excellent in great lighting or in the sun.

I broke my Samsung and desperately needed a smartphone. Bestbuy sales associate recommended this phone on sale for about $50. It's such a bargain for a smart phone all the functions that you may want. I went back the next day to ask for technical supports because not clear how to use the dual SIM card slots, and memory card slot. Technical staff was fabulous resolved all my problems! Greatly appreciated!
