Received the phone as promised.  This model is probably a european model.  So far this phone,  I have not issues so far yet.  I can text and make calls but cannot go on the internet or send multimedia messages.  It might have to do with the sim card that I have since it is a 3G card.  I have full bars with this phone a brick building so I cant complain because the main phone function is to make calls only which is perfect.  I'll update this review at a later day to let everyone know how this phone holds up.
