Deceptive Company July 4, 2009 Reviewer:  cindy777 (Denver, CO)  See all my reviews >

This phone says that it comes with GPS, it does not! It only has longitude and latitude! The only people who need to use that are AT SEA!!!
You have to pay an add't per month to get turn by turn instructions. The company has to get an approval from their powers that be to credit your account. Don't bother with this phone there are alot better deals and service with different carriers.

Cheap phone,good service August 8, 2009 Reviewer:  mom of 2 girls (Florida)  See all my reviews >

Boost mobile has a great deal at a great price. What I don't like is that this phone is cheap-but you get what you pay for. You can't expect a [..]phone to mop the floor for you. I have had no connectivity problems at all. The other review complains about GPS. Buy a Garmin if you want GPS. Or spend more money. What do you expect for price?

Good company, been using them for several years with absolutely no problems.

The cheap phone i was "........." about buying August 26, 2009 Reviewer:  music talented "dina p" (raliegh, nc)  See all my reviews >

I bought this phone about a week ago. It's not as bad as i thought it would be. I guess you could say it's not bad for the price. I ended up buying this cause i couldn't afford my over priced verizon bill and bought this for emergency. As for signal so far so good havent had much problems with people not hearing me. The only thing that stinks it doesn't have any basic tools such as alarm clock and calculator. Now i gota bring in my blackberry for my alarm clock to wake me up in the morning. Overall it's $ bucks a month so u can't complain. If you're looking for a basic phone for incoming and outgoing calls and your on a budget, this is the phone for you!

It is what it is September 25, 2009 Reviewer:  A. Pine Real Name See all my reviews >

First off, GPS provides you with a Global Positioning System, being that its Longitude and Latitude location which can pin point your location anywhere on the globe, a program changes that information into turn by turn information, and yes this phone has Type B (build it) GPS ability instead of Type A which triangulates position by cell tower location.

second the phone works well, its a phone, something that actually meant for verbal communications not text, so the screen is kind of dinky.

third with the advent of cell phone the auto accident rates have climbed significantly since cell inception from individuals not paying attention to the road, its pains me that Motorola is not paying attention to this and did not include a blue tooth capability to the phone to "reduce" the likelihood of non attentive drivers... but we all really should pull over anyway to talk, not talk and drive.
