It is well-designed for us older, 'non-Smart' users but has a smaller battery than other Alvcatel 200x models. Predictive text entry is important for me and although the Alcatel instructions say this phone has that feature - IT DOES NOT, so beware. I wasted a lot of time seeking help and had to change it for the 2008G model which has all the text input features and a bigger battery, for an extra fiver.
