Bought this phone last week for US$75.00. Not a great phone at all compared to my trusty Siemens A55!
Loved the A55, lasted me three years. Have had the AF51 for a week and: it keeps shutting down for no reason, battery lasts about 28 hours (thats on standby with no talking, just ten sms's).
The buttons for sms's dont allow for fast movement of fingers, and getting through the various screens to send a sms takes much longer than the A55. This can be a bit frustrating until you learn to slow down a bit. but if you send lots of sms's, you dont want this phone, just too slow and clumsy.
The antenna is also very weak compared to the A55. I have to go wandering to get signal in my office and other buildings wheras I didnt use to with my A55. The antenna is just not strong enough to get reception in buildings.
Apart from this, its an attractive phone. Just wish it were more reliable and the battery didnt die after such a short time even when I'm not really using the phone!

I had the same problems with the signal and battery on my old phone. My Motorola seems to be a good one though. Fionaxx
