5Love this phone and no data plan required!


By Christine M Fink

I have been wanting a quality touch screen phone for a while but could not find one I liked that was not a smartphone. This one fits the bill. In 3 days I have already personalized it and more. The call quality is great and quite loud. The ringer volume is quite loud also. The vibration is strong. The phone feels like a quality phone in your hand. My husband likes my phone so much he is considering one for himself.

5Could be the best smartphone-like on a budget.


By Tigerbalm

First, I hate 2-year data plan contracts and I don't text! It's expensive enough to pay for wireless and broadband as it is! I use my netbook on the road at free wi-fi places. I bought this after reading very positive previews. I have to say, I have NO regrets! First, I wanted a TOUCH-SCREEN. It's true, this Brew OS is fast. Everything runs and exceeds my initial low expectations. I simply sync with my PC/netbook for new apps/games/data. It's works like a compact planner. The voice, speaker-phone, vibration, etc features were very good. The build quality is exceptional. The only difficulty was getting the cover off to insert sim, battery, and memory cards. I even put a screen protector by Xtremeguard and it still works great-just a slight resistance. The keys on the screen was surprisingly easy to use for typing. I wish it would auto-rotate, but no big deal. Actually, the smaller size is easier to put in your pocket than a bigger screen smartphone. BTW, the data for this phone is $30/mo. So if you want the best touchscreen for great web browsing and texting, this Freestyle is NOT for you! You are in the wrong league. For those who want the luxury of a touchscreen and good OS for apps, and no extra charges, this is for you...actually, it's the only choice! BTW, the normal phone jack is smart as the FM radio sounds unbelievably good. Also, the 1300 mAH batter is as strong as my Rugby II. I actually just ordered another Freestyle as an upgrade. And a tip, order from Amazon since AT&T charges 80 bucks more! Go figure that one out...

5Great Phone - Best of all - No Data Plan Required


By Mark

I have had my phone for about two weeks now, and I love it! This is a great phone for everything I need a phone for. It takes great pictures, the touch screen is very responsive. The volume and the sound is great, it has a large selection of ring tones and volume controls. You can customoze this phone in so many ways as well. I would like a timer on it, but so far thats the only negative with the phone, and thats not too big of a deal. I think data plans are a phone company rip off, and you don't need one with this phone. If I want the internet I will open my laptop. I can say with out hesitation, this is a very good phone. I also like the size, its not too small, just the right fit. When you pick it up, it feels very strong and well built. The camara has some really nice features, it works well for one, but you can zoom into the picture you took and then wait a second, and then it will focus the picture. I like that you can also identify contacts with a picture if you want. There are so many things about the phone that are great. This is simply a great phone, I confidently give it five stars!
