Could be that I am not so good with mobiles - only ever owned two (a Panasonic G520 and Nokia 8310 - power button broke) but I found it a bit difficult to get going with this A65. However my eight year old is finding it quite easy to navigate! Am now getting the hang of things and enjoy using the phone. It is WAP enabled and tri band, has predictive text and downloadable games (Stack Attack and Magic Picture are included one is a Sonic type game and Magic Picture is where you slide the blocks round to get the picture to appear - I may lose the phone a the kids love these games and think it is a mini playstation!).
The ringtone choices are quite boring and limited but you can download others. The sound quality is very clear. The colour screen is a good size and clear also ( a bit of a novelty for me anyway as I've never had a colour screen before). There are a few limited pictures for wall paper/screensavers and picture messages, not very exciting choices - again you can download your own.
BUT I was really impressed with the deal I got as it was 29.99 at Virgin Mobile with 5.00 credit then I got another 10.00 credit on top of that.
The initial charge up is 16 hours but then after that it takes only about 2. The phone came with charger, hands free kit 15.00 credit (as mentioned above) and apparantly you can add a clip on camera at additional cost.
Would recommend this phone to anyone as if I can understand how to get it to work then anyone can! A good basic phone.

A bit on the short side, more detail for a VH, nearly a SWH.
