The Amazon reviews suggest that it's a really terrible phone.

(It's also worth noting that in many cases most of the cost of owning a smartphone isn't in the nominal price of the device but in what you pay for network service. If you buy that smartphone, how much more do you have to pay to make it actually connect to the internet?)

On Amazon.com there LG Realm for 40$ and Kyocera Event for 30$. The LG Realm has 4.4 out of 5 stars average on Amazon.

Unless you treat that smartphone as not a phone, but a tiny computer. Wi-Fi is free, usually.
