This phone is definitely a different type of phone for me. I was testing it out along with my son and he had it making noises like you wouldn’t believe. At one point he had a sword fight noise going on and with the noise and lights I had to stop and laugh and ask is this really a phone But never fear, it really was a phone and beside the normal use of a cell phone the camera’s pictures came out very clear and so did the little video clips my son took of my daughter dancing, very surprised by the clarity.  My son loved the MySpace “experience” and loved texting on this phone as well as using it as a music player. All in all this is one neat phone that I would say is definitely geared toward the teen set, but fun enough for the kid in all of us!
