I bought mine as a smart phone, but when I received it, I found it to be so tiny, much smaller than the stated 5 inches long by 3 inches wide, I have not even activated it. Yes it can go online, like any other phone, if you pay for that service through your carrier. I wont even use it as a regular phone.

It is the ideal phone for someone who just wants a phone to be a phone. I use my computer for the internet. It does have texting capability.

No, this is not considered a smart phone. A smart phone will allow you to surf the web and this phone does not have that capability. A smart phone will also let you install and run external applications, and once again, this phone does not have that capability.

It is but I would not suggest this phone. It is VERY light and cheap. I don't even think it works properly. I would say spend a few more dollars and try to get something better.

Yes. The phone is very basic, and I'd say not very good. I had a hard time hearing on it.

I am not sure what is meant by simple. I can say that you can use it as just a phone and never text or email on it. It took awhile to get used to its operation though.

Yes, as a basic phone with GSM radios, it should provide you with basic services just to get around. Personally, I'd get a smartphone, but this is affordable for me.

This phone is a very basic flip phone. The top banner says 1X, and I don't think that is 3G. The phone is Bluetooth enabled, can take photos, can send/receive text, and has access to the "mobile web." By today's standards, it is a simple phone. My husband, who is not tech-savvy, is very happy with it.

Because this says "VERIZON ONLY," this phone needs a data package. I purchased it because it showed up as a basic phone when I searched through Amazon. But according to Verizon this is a smartphone and a data package is required. I will be returning this phone tomorrow.

No. This is a simple bare bones phone. It's sounds great and I got it because I didn't want a phone with any additional electronics or anything else to plug in.

No. THis is not a smart phone. It has internet access, but you can't buy a smart phone for this price. It has text ability, and you can store numbers on it, but it is not like a smart phone. It is a great phone. I need a simple phone, so I love mine, and it comes pretty much as you see it, with a battery and charger. If you are looking for a smart phone, look elsewhere, however.

Yes, but it defeats the purpose of the droid. It's meant to be sort of a mini computer for internet purposes. But yes, it can be a basic phone.

No, this is not a smartphone. It can text and has a QWERTY keyboard, and can access the internet - with data fees - but can not download apps like an iPhone or other smartphone features.

Its a Smartphone. I don't have it any longer. It never turned on. Had to send back to Amazon.

Yes, this is a "basic phone". I use it with Verizon. I do not have a data plan. It will do media type things but that cost extra, as you know.

Yes, both. This is a fully functioning android. I would however recommend buying an 8 or 16 gig card to go with it as it runs out of usb storage very quickly. Anything higher than 16gb cannot be supported by this phone.

Well I have a basic phone because I disabled all the data. A basic phone only does txt and phone calls.A smart phone does everything... txt, call, data (internet)
