I hate this phone!!

17 Sep 2008 by Angie123456789

5.3 out of 10

I got this phone in November of 07 it was worthless then and it's worthless now!!! I figure I would get used to it and then it woun't be so bad but I have had nothing but problems with this phone. The ringer volume has not worked since I bought it and neither Tmobile or the phones manufacture will do anything about it beacuse they say "is not a common problem" The txt message always says I have an unread message even when I delete all my messages, the bluetooth signal comes on when ever it wants 2 not when I tell it 2, the keyboard gets stuck all the time, and some of the keys have to pressed real hard for them to work. I hate this phone the only thing I like is it looks kinda cool other than that .... ugh!!!!!

Great phone for basic user

5 Sep 2008 by Anonymous

8.7 out of 10

have had this phone since it came out in december and still love it. once you get used to the keypad you can text really fast and the xt9 usually works very well. great vibrant screen with nice bronze/copper finish. everything is great about this phone except battery life- if i use wi fi for even a couple mins or have it on vibrate it lasts maybe a day but i do text alot so that may explain that. also i dont like the windows media player since it doesnt have an equalizer. otherwise very good phone for the basic user and for only 99 for qualified upgrade.





price, feature set, compact design, user friendly
battery, media player, sometimes lag

HTC ain't bad, but this phone is all wrong!

This phone sucks...Stay away from this phone... Far away.. I have had my fair share of phone that I loved in the past, but I have owned this phone for like 6 months maybe more now, and I completely hate it. I actaully ordered the blackberry 8120 and I am waiting to get it. I tried holding off for a newer phone to come out hearing that by Decemeber T-Mobile should have a pretty good selection of phones, including that new andriod powered htc dream. I just couldnt hold off anymore.
