The phone has some exceptional multimedia features for a basic phone buta micro sd card is required to use most of the multimedia features.Volume seems OK. Battery life is better than average. The challenge withthis phone is the lack of instructions on setting up and using it. There is aninteractive guide on at least one of the amazon pages for a similar model butthe guide has had technical issues and at the time of this review has vanishedfrom the page I had saved in my wish list. Hopefully someone may find the followinguser guide helpful.Using the BLU Jenny T172iImportant buttons: center input button with left, right, up, down scrolling. soft keys - are above the answer and end call keys.Turn on/off: press and hold the end call key - release when on or off.Menu: shortcut press left soft key.Phone book: shortcut press right soft key.Flashlight on/off: shortcut press and hold center input button - release when on or off.Change language: press left soft key - scroll down to settings (wrench symbol) - scroll down to option 4 phone settings (Spanish/Portugues Configuracion del telefono) - scroll to option 2 language (Spanish/Portugues Idiorna) press center input button - scroll to English - Press center input button or OK.Speaker phone : press right soft key on - press right soft key again off.Vibrate on/off: press and hold # key (lower right corner).Lock keys: at home screen press and release center input button - then quickly press * key (lower left corner) a key symbol appears on screen.

The phone is quite small. The Blu Tank is a little thicker and has longer battery life. The "instructions," in addition to being little more than a summary of the phone's menus, is written with many grammar, stylistic, and usage problems. Easier to search online for a Blu Jenny manual. Same lack of information, but with larger type. If you are technologically feeble or logically impaired, or simply desire detailed instructions, avoid Blu bar phones.First omission: How do you get into the thing to install the battery? At the bottom edge, there is a tiny groove into which you can stick a strong fingernail to pop the back of the case off. If the color of the stripe around the edges of the phone is black, this is hard to spot. While it is open, you can see where the SIM cards go. Just position one or both and slide them or it in. The tiny SD card is also easy to install if you know the top secret that is not included in the instructions. Facing the exposed innards of the phone with the camera lens at the top, there is a little square frame at the bottom left that will hold the SD card. Position that strong fingernail into the vertical slot in the frame, and slide the frame to the right about 1/16 of an inch. Use the same tool to raise the frame on its hinges. Install the cardlet and close the frame, sliding the the top back to the left. Adding the card will enable many of the features of the phone. You can set the camera resolution higher, load the card with MP3 files in a folder called "MY MUSIC" and load additional MP3 ringtones.I am amazed at the good quality of the FM radio.I bought the phone to use in Costa Rica. It is easy to purchase a SIM there to use in this unlocked Quad-Band phone. I can't tell how it works as a phone yet, since I am still in the US.I regret the absence of a headphone plug, but we will be traveling with other devices to meet that need.The absence of a manual is not all that bad. I just spent about 30 minutes exploring the Menu and found most everything needed. You can even find out how to lock the keypad: Press the center of the big square button, followed immediately by pressing the asterisk. Unlock it by the same procedure. The operating system has one nasty quirk. When you change a setting in one of the menus, sometimes you are given an option to "save", or a "done", or an "OK". There is no consistency. Just make sure you do something to save your change, or it will be lost.When I get a Kolbi/ICE SIM into this little red wonder, I will update.
