BLU Zoey 2.4 Cell Phone GSM Unlocked Dual SIM Z070 Black Blue

This phone does what it is designed to do and the $25 price is irresistible.The features that I enjoy on this phone include:(1) dual-sim card (mini-sim, 2FF) , can activate and deactivate each sim card separately(2) support both 3G and 2G ( I am using AT&T, 3G and T-mobile 2G, both working fine)(3) bluetooth, confirmed to work with the hand-free call feature on my pioneer car audio FH-X700BT(4) micro SD card(5) camera with flash, can shoot both photo and video(6) self power on/off by configurable schedule(7) good sound qualityMy major complaint goes to its battery life. The battery, labeled as 1000mAH, lasts about 2 days of normal use after fully charged ( 2 sim cards standby, < 10 min of total talking time, < 2 hours of total bluetooth connection with car audio, self power off between 11pm and 7am).The phone software seems to be buggy (not affecting its function though, just bit of annoying):The network name "AT&T" shows as 4 empty boxes on the home screen, but "T-mobile" shows correctly ( not sure if it's because the network name encoding on the 3G network is different from that on 2G?)The email software does not accept any email address for new account, regardless what email address I put in, it always reports "invalid email address". The only way to get around this bug is first create an new account using its 'Gmail' template, and then manually change all settings to a different email setting.I am O.K. to live with these bugs for a 3G phone with $25 price, but I would hope the developers to put more efforts on testing their software before releasing it to the market.I had a BLU Tank II 2G phone before, and I would not have purchased this phone if AT&T hadn't stopped 2G service in my area.Compared with Tank II, this model includes many improvements and newer features. For example, the bluetooth connection to the car audio is not automatically established on Tank II when I turn on the engine, but on this model, the connection becomes automatic, which is very convenient to me. This model also comes with a very primitive internet browser. It works, but is not very useful to me, may becomes handy sometimes later.The battery life degraded significantly on this model (less than 2 days v.s 3 weeks on Tank II, I have tried to put Tank II's battery into this model, but it doesn't fit), the "Torch/flashlight" feature is gone, which had been quite useful ( but because of its short battery life, it may not afford to having a flashlight at all, so it's not entirely a bad idea to have it removed), finally this model lacks the built-in FM radio antenna, and has to depend on the headset wire to pickup the FM signal.Overall, this phone is acceptable with sub $25 price range. It does what it's designed for, but don't expect more.

Very simple not enough comfort. For example the messages isn't working as conversations, so if you wanna answer to someone you have to find what he has sent you and then to answer him. You can't see what he has sent you while you write to him. Other feature phones support it (for example Nokia c2. Nokia 208 and more)

Good basic phone. Battery life is a bit short for a basic phone, but it works.It's 3G capable which is a big deal as the wireless carriers are shutting down their 2G networks, (which means if you have 2G phone, you'll need to get a new phone) and if you don't want a smartphone, this is a good choice.

The phone is small and fits nice in palm. The keys and menus are intuitive. But the biggest problem for me is the battery. Even without making/receiving a single call nor use any of the features of the phone, the battery dies in 10 hrs. I charge it 100% in the evening and when i wake up in the morning i see it less than 30%. Most of the phones i have seen in this category usually lasts for days. I am returning this phone.

This is a basic talk and text phone that works well on the AT&T Go phone network. The manual should be better. I had to go to online forums or "press all the buttons until I found what works" for simple things like how to adjust the volume or adjust preferences for texting.

It works fine but battery sucks.

This phone worked great while it worked. It stopped working after less than 2 weeks. It stopped charging.

Battery wouldn't hold a charge from the beginning.
