Cricket MSGM8 (black) Review



The good: Cricket MSGM8 has a simple easy-to-use interface and a full QWERTY keyboard. In addition, it also supports Bluetooth, social networking applications (think facebook, twitter, linkedin, etc.. ), and lastly a speech recognition application .

The bad: The photo quality of the 1.3 mega pixel camera could be improved. Cricket MSGM8 has a cramped keyboard.

The bottom line: Despite a few design flaws, the Cricket MSGM8 is still a decent starter messaging phone. It is a full-QWERTY feature phone which utilizes Cricket's 3G network. What's more, you can personalize the phone with a variety of wallpaper, screensavers, and alert tones.
