If your using a network that is compatable for the system its okay, but I advice no one to get this phone .. It has too many restrictions and its requires you to create a "Palm Profile" which makes no sense at the beginning of startup. Whats worse is that you can not escape the process its mandatory that you do it at the beginning . For an international buyer of the phone in my suggestion I think its not okay to buy the phone, unless your using At&T; or some other US carrier .. But if your a US citizen yes it looks like it proforms awesome based on videos I saw on YouTube .. :) Good Luck with your decision ..

Unless you're on AT&T; and have a data plan, it's going to be difficult to set up. Also, the default map service is Bing maps, so if you prefer Google Maps, you'll have to do some software modifications. In general, you'll need to do some fiddling to get the most out of this smartphone, so it doesn't seem like a good fit for you.

Well.... It depends of the place where you live. If you don´t live in USA, that phone may be ideal for you, otherwise... That phone doesn´t work. I´m from Costa Rica and buy this item means drop my money into the trash can.

It does not have a GPS, or 3g. This is good for music, youtube, and skype. But thats about it.

Yes, this is a smartphone. It has internet capability, and runs Android based apps. Note though that this phone is based for AT&T; "gophone" operation.

No, it's not a smart phone. You have the capabilities to get on the internet, play games, etc... But I just used it for text and call uses and It's perfect.

Mobile web means that you can surf the net. It's not as fast as the smartphones but it's adequate enough if you don't use it that much. I like this phone.

Keep in mind that this is an older generation phone (came out in 2007, I believe). No WiFi, just a regular cellular connection. While it resembles a state-of-the-art "smartphone," it is relatively primitive for accessing the Internet. Think of it a a good cell phone for the money, with which you can text and take photos.

It is a type of "Smart Phone" known as an Android phone. Will access the internet, email, can download many apps, etc. This is an older model, so don't expect all the features and conveniences of the new high cost models, but is adequate for the low cost.

Yes, and so far the phone has been great. Simple and easy to use if you don't need it for more than talk or text.

This Phone Was A Basic SmartPhone. It Was A 3G And A Little Slow But Very Dependable I Purchased A Refurbished OneWith An Extended Battery Which Made The Phone Bigger But Man The Battery Life

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.

I believe it is capable of internet - although we do not use it for that purpose - as we just wanted a reliable phone with a rugged exterior and this one fit the bill

As of now it seems like a no frills phone that would work forever. I think its a good phone except for the price. for $50 you can get a proper windows or android phone. I bought this one for emergency in case I run out of battery on my regular iphone or I use it as a second phone while travelling.

Oh no. This is just a basic function cell phone, not a smart phone. If you have read my review, you know that its function as a basic cell phone is pretty poor. Kind of cool-looking though. If you mostly want a great big watch that you can tell people is also a cell phone, it should be OK.

No, this is not a smartphone. It is acceptable as a basic phone to be used on basic (not smartphone) rates, at least on Verizon.

Hi, well, I can't consider like a smart phone. But it's really a good phone for normal customer, you can surf the web, Facebook, twitter, whatsapp. And its fast in web browsing. I recommend you in this case. I hope this could be helpful.

I have this phone with ATT and -no data-. That's why I like it. They don't charge for data because it's not a smart phone and very limited in what it can do. (I can surf the internet, which is about all I need in addition to text and calling.)
