I've bought two of these phones, both have let me down. They start off with excellent standby time on battery, and then in a few months they just die - charge it to 100% before bed, dead in the morning. Twice now I've been late for work because the alarm didn't go off - dead battery, no warning. Ok for receiving texts and calls But: Fiddly unresponsive unintuitive interface. No key lock - the first phone cost me $$$ pocket dialing people Battery will start dying unexpectedly after 3/4 months So although it's a cheap phone, I couldn't recommend it, not even just for an alarm clock.
