I purchased this phone to replace my Samsung S7 Edge when I switched carriers. It's a
fraction of the S7's price yet performs at 95% of the S7's capabilities. The Avid 589's three weak spots are 1.) Lower res camera 2.) Slower processor speeds - especially with apps 3.) Accuracy of alarms - daily clock alarms are very accurate, but calendar alarms rarely sound at times set. Most of my calendar's alarms sound 4-15 minutes after their set time. The phone has a good speaker sound and also works well with my BT headphones. The calendar works great, I use it all the time for dozens of appointments. I can set alerts for days or hours in advance. There are a bunch of alarm/alert/ringer sounds that can be set very soft or very loud - again, the speaker is very good.
