Was about a year ago. Now I might want to re-think on it. Stylish looks. Good, comfortable and clear sound. My main complaint with this phone has been that it allows you to store more than one number for a contact but you can dial only the number stored as the main or default number. I havent figured out a way around it in my 1 year of usage. In all other respects this was indeed my dream entry-level colour phone. For the next level I would look to get a more feature rich phone with tri band, FM, etc as Samsung SGH-C230. Also the LG G1610 should be a good buy with blue tooth and free headset. Actually I am currently debating between the two and I feel tri band may swing the vote in favour of Samsung. Though the Samsung is cheaper but the free headset and blue tooth feature would make the G1610 very competitive. Since I am looking to travel I would be on the safer side with tri-band and FM feature for a little entertainment. Ofcourse it has features such as IR but it does not work so well so I would discount it for all practical purpose. Please visit website for more info https://wowlg.com
