Honestly I really didn't read the product description of the functions, saw that it looked similar to a smartphone and went with that since I had boost, especially when it first came out. If I would have known they were coming out with a blackberry for boost I definitely would have not waisted my time thinking about this phone. But if you get it for a good deal like I did on ebay, and know how the apps and functions are on the Motorola i290 or whatever other model that has the same features and like it, than its a phone for you. But don't waist your time if your looking for functions like a blackberry.
