Aeku c6 credit card phone:  $12.39 @ Ebay.ca

I was using an old flip phone because I lost my cute phone...it was so crappy!  Heavy, ugly, and outdated, so I was looking for other options.

I wanted something light and not so old looking, and this fit the bill.  It was so cheap too!

I was initially planing on getting the same phone I lost (alcatel 356), but it was hard to find one in my price range when I needed it.  I saw new ones for $10 before, but not at the time I wanted to buy it.

It took four months to get this one because mail has been stupidly slow lately.  It was also REALLLY confusing to figure out how to use...I had to watch a video to figure out how to turn it on!!!  It's not intuitive at all.  I also had trouble putting in the sim card.

Other than that, it was working ok for a week...but now it's starting to get really glitchy!

I don't know why.  Sometimes when I get a call, or even when I start it up, the screen starts to flash with white lines across of it.  I hope that doesn't mean it'll die soon!

The sound quality also isn't as good as the other phones I've used.  There's garbled or dropped speech at time, and I've never had that happen before so I'm sure the phone.

But I think that the lightness/cuteness of the phone makes up for it.  I just hope it lasts, since I cut my sim card just for that....if it breaks I won't have another phone to use!

Lookswise, I'm really happy with it!  I resized a case for it and it's almost unbelievably cute:

I also really liked the phone I lost.  I glued a bunch of stuff on it and it was so pretty.  I wish I took a picture!  I think it fell out of my pocket on transit, so that sucks some jerk never returned it to me.  I know someone picked it up because after a while I couldn't call myself anymore.
