The quickfire is complete DOO DOO! They pulled it from the shelves today. I work for AT&T and I'm relieved they pulled it. I'm tired of dealing with pissed off teenagers when their touch screen stops working.

13. good texting phone (AT&T QuickFire)

The Quickfire is aimed at younger generations of text-happy kids and, thankfully, it excels in pretty much every aspect of the messaging department. Whether your favorite means of word transference is IM, e-mail, or text messaging, the Quickfire handles each with ease. Conversely, if you’re one of those people who still prefers to actually talk on the phone the Quickfire makes clear calls, so you’re covered there, too. The QWERTY keyboard is spacious and easy to use, though the keys are a bit flat.
Most of the other features – the HTML browser, the 1.3-megapixel camera, the touchscreen, and the battery life – are all average to slightly above average, but the real story is that they’re all included for $99. As the phone is marketed towards kids, though, most of the action is in the messaging features. The rest is a nice bonus.

The keyboard does have capslock.
You press FN then shift.
Some of my button's don't work too well anymore, and I've only had the phone for a few months.
Scrolling down on webpages has serious lagtime.
And when it storms, texting doesn't work :)

15. Crappy Battery

I bought the phone right before Christmas '08, 2 months later my phone won't fully charge and runs out of battery in less than 24hrs. Also, now the screen freezes up on me and I have to detach the battery and reattach to get it to unfreeze.
I do like the speaker option and voice dial. I haven't had problems with texting or photos. My touch screen seems to be working fine. I'm going to try and exchange the phone due to the battery issues- but don't have my reciept, we'll see how it goes.
Easy texting, photo, and speaker. Cute colors.Bulky, crappy battery guaranteed to go out on you, screen freezes up.

ok so i was so exited when i finaly got this phone. Now i HATE it so much. the touchscreen on it has the same problems mentions above. Mine also shuts off all the time and idk why. sometimes i will gently set it down it will restart or if i bump the table it will restart. the screen ripples when i touch it and it looses its brightness. the worst part is it takes thridy days or more for the problems to start and i even had to do a master reset which helped for a day and then it started up with the same problems over and over agian. also it doesnt vibrate when i get a text message when its on vibrate mode. the screen should also be atleast 3" because thats usualy the size of a touch screen phone. the keybord doesnt have a caplock which makes it hard to text in caps. there is really small amount of custamization. my backround when the phone is open is the att background which cant be changed and same for when i click the menue button. the screen resalution sucks and so do the speakers when i play ringtones. there should be an optional onscreen keybord and or accelorometer. the phone is also bad because it doesnt look kool when you text like a sidekick. thq quickfire has a boring backside. this phone needs a whole new disign and i know how it should look if it wants to be successefull

I have had the phone a little shy of a month, at first I had a really hard time getting use to the touch screen but I eventually got use to it. I have had problems with the screen freezing up and also when you push one icon another comes up... As for the battery it worked well for the first couple of weeks now it wont charge all the way; it charges about 1/3 of the way and wont go any further, I purchased a new charger; thinking that was the problem but no such luck...

18. Quickfire issues

Got the phone for my daughter on Christmas, per her request. Within a few weeks, it started having the same screen issues mentioned above. Touch one icon, another is activated, which was very frustrating. The battery also has shown problems. When charged overnight, it shows half a charge first thing in the morning and lasts like it as well. We took it back to the store, within 30 days, and exchanged it for another one. After 30 days, you have to go through the ATT exchange by mail. The phone is warranted for a year, so if it's not working, take it back. The phone is bulky, and a bit awkward to use, but she will get through it.

19. Quickfire- Not as great as people make it sound.

I got this phone the week it came out, as a replacement for my malfunctioning Blackberry Curve. After using it for over 2 months, I'd rather go back to my blackberry curve! As someone mentioned before, the touchscreen is desensitized. In addition, when you press one button on one side of the screen, another button on the completely opposite side will be pressed. It makes no sense at all. My phone just now started shutting off on me randomly, so I wonder if it is just my phone, since no one else has said anything, but I have also had it a lot longer than most people, so people might just have it happen to them in another month or so. The internet bugs the heck out of me because all of the pages show up as "mobile" pages, and don't show up as "normal" pages that say you would see on your computer at home. Other than that, there is no way to text other than sliding the keyboard out. In other words, there is no "on screen" texting screen.
Now, onto the physical parts of the phone. There is no headphone jack, or any port to connect it to your computer with a usb cord. The makers of this phone decided that all of us would use bluetooth for everything. The phone itself is heavy and bulky. It is NOT the type of thing you want in your pocket, especially if you wear skinny jeans.
The camera, let me just come out and say it, it SUCKS. S-U-C-K-S! In order to take a semi decent picture, you have to have extremely steady hands, perfect lighting, and the object of the picture has to be extremely still.
All in all, this phone is not the phone you want, but if you don't need internet, don't care about pictures, don't want a music phone (to listen to with headphones) and don't care if you have to press the screen over and over again to actually get the button you want, then this is the phone for you.
Take my advice, don't get this phone. I paid for it without upgrade so the total costs were $323.45 and im shooting myself for it now! I should've paid $500 and got the iphone instead! Anyways, thanks for reading!

I got a quickfire for Christmas and I think its a good phone. QWERTY ketboard is a neccesity for txt and it works great. Has a touch screen that works well(sometiimes it doesnt open what i touch but rarely) has a SD slot to expand its memory, voice quality is EXCELLENT, 3G makes web browsing great! Very durable! You will not break this phone as long as u dont throw it against a wall. I've dropped twice the second considerably hard, not a scratch no deffects at all! Overall is great if u dont want to spend a bomb and is a good phone! You will be satisfied! as for those remarks about bad touch screen, those people were unlucky and got a deffective phone.
QWERTY key board
Nice touch screen with minor problems
Durable
Micro SD slot up to 32 gigs, nice!
Excellent voice quality
Stylish and cool design
Updatable firmware
BluetoothNo head phone jack
Sometimes the phones menu gets out of wack when open and closing (fixes itself so dont worry)
Not very good battery for txt aholics, bout a day and a half
