Battery goes dead within 12 hrs. Doesn't clear screen whenever you close and open. Speed dial doesn't work. Is Verizon the only carrier changing. Ringer too low. Not many ringtones choices

Pain to set up. Few choices for ring tones and message tones. Reception VERY poor. I I Uses battery power quickly, and cuts off conversation with no warning when battery is low. No flashlight. Can't take a picture from Gallery and use for wallpaper. Can't hear the phone ringing or text alerts. The number 0 is also the space bar! When the phone closes, does not go back to main menu - even the camera will sometimes remain active when the cover closes! Horrible replacement for my previous 3G Kyocera phone!

This piece of junk is totally worthless. Nothing works correctly, if you want to text you have to start twice because this junk phone automatically provides you with the wrong letter out of the gate! The speaker is on the back of the phone! But the microphone is on the front of the phone! There's not enough volume to hear very well and there's no problem with my ears-the problem is the JUNK phone that Verizon shoved down to me-The customer! JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK!!!!!!!!!!

This is the phone Verizon gave me free to replace my3G Phone. My old phone had a flash light, this doesn't. My old phone took useable pictures, this one's pix look like children's drawings. My old phone could go two days on a charge, this battery runs out by evening even when not used.

Never been downgraded before, but that's what this phone was. It replaced my Samsung Alias II, which was full of features and had an electronic Qwerty keyboard, because the Alias II was 3G. I knew I'd be getting a lesser phone, just because there was no keyboard for texting, but it's also rather lame on features. It has no audible alert system to alert you of missed calls, voicemails, texts, etc. The only way you know is if you open it up and look for the "silent" icons that represent each. In other words, the Alias II it replaced, would alert you every 2 minutes, 5 minutes, etc., until you acknowledged the missed communication. This phone not having that feature as standard is very lame...and thus a downgrade.

Just poor in all criteria of a cell phone.

10 year old phone it replaced worked better.

I have been forced by Verizon to "upgrade" my phone, so they sent me an Orbic Journey V to replace my older, much better Casio phone. It's really stunning how even in this day and age, a phone this weak is still on the market at all. Brand new, it holds a 100% charge about 6 hours, as long as you don't actually try to use it. I get a flickering tower signal that is usually 0 bars or 1 bar, unlike my old phone. Yes I've tried the tower reset and had no improvement. Yet I'm still paying ~$75 per month just to try and have phone and text. Nothing else. And I can't even get that with this phone. After 12 years I think I'm finally disgusted enough to switch carriers.

Got the phone as a free replacement for an obsolete 3G model. Proves the adage "You Get What You Pay For." Difficult to use, functions are non-intuitive and the phone is far less practical than the 10 year old model it replaces. This phone is an excellent reason to push customers to other carriers. If I could rate zero stars, I would do so.
