AT&T Quickfire = Fail

10 Oct 2009 Devon

 This phone is lame. Cranked cheap out of China by PCD (or UTStarcom, they change their name frequently) the phone has a good design, however, the software is horrible. Using this phone, I frequently experience glitches (such as, tap one side of the screen, phone interprets it as some thing on the other side) freeze, and screen  malfunction. It is also built with plastic products, has no bluetooth file transfer, and a horrible camera. Not good battery life either. Recommend switching to reliable brands. If you want a decent, good texting att phone, get an unlocked nokia of the samsung impression.





design, keyboard, capacative touchscreen (however, is consistently unresponsive)
atrocious software, glitches and freezing, lame camera, no bluetooth file transfer, lack of features, bad java support, low, fluctuating battery life

AT&T Quickfire - NOT GOOD

30 Jul 2009 Graeme

I was pretty excited to get this phone, I'm not gonna lie.  It has an attractive design, the screen is large and on AT&T's website it looked pretty cool.  However, this phone has been nothing but a PITA since I've owned it.


The touchscreen is awful.  That's the only way to put it.  It's completely unresponsive at times, it will click on random icons when you're trying to click something completely different, want to try scrolling?  Forget about it!  If anyone can accurately scroll with this thing without opening up some random menu or accidentally calling someone, I will pay them money.


Call quality is alright, however this thing drops calls ALL THE TIME.  I live in downtown Atlanta and there would be days were I couldn't make a single phone call!  The thing would just drop it the moment it connected.  On days where I could actually SPEAK to someone through my phone, it would last maybe 1 minute before dropping the call.  So it's a great paperweight in that respect, cause as a phone it fails.


The entire system lags.  Sending a text message?  Be prepaired to wait for awhile before the phone will respond to anything - this includes trying to get back to your inbox, send another text, or just LOOK at another text.  My other cheap phone was much much more responsive, and a better texting phone because of this.  While texting the phone will lag behind your keystrokes which gets to be pretty annoying as well.


The battery life is alright, I had to run the battery completely dead - then recharge it a few times for the battery to really start holding a charge.  I charge it every night, but if I don't it will be dead in about a 1.5 - 2 days.


AT&T somehow approved this phone, which is a worthless piece of junk.  I don't see why anyone would have approved this phone for production in its current state, it needs much improvement.  Probably a business move in order to maximize profits during the holiday season.


The Bottom Line:


The phone is slow, drops calls all the time, the touchscreen is bad but the battery is decent.  It fails as a phone, and succeeds only moderately as a texting device.  Don't buy this phone.
