12. Pros vs. Cons

Cons
the camera is very bad. it has horrible graphics and it takes the picture after the flash.
the moving pics like screensavers and animations are good at first but then they get really slow after a while.
it also freezes a lot. ive owned it for about 5 months and have taken out the battery to restart it about 15 times now. i know many other phones of this kind that do it too.
i have to charge the battery every night.
Pros
It stores up to 115 pictures and has great speakerphones. I've never dropped a call. Everything else besides the stuff up there is fine.

Phone isn't bad for the money. Good reception, Battery isn't too bad, Texting is terrible it stutters with the the words won't, will, you. It will drive you crazy if you do alot of texting. Have complained to Kyocera they say it's a software problem. I have known of 6 phones with the same issue.

For an entry level phone, I can't really complain.
The Good
Signal strength has been excellent and my house is a 'dead zone' where 85% of phones can't connect. Perhaps I got a lucky phone. *shrug* I haven't dropped a call from my end yet. The built-in features do what you need.
The Bad
Battery life is barely acceptable but I've had MUCH worse. (Car charger or Extended Battery is almost a requirement). I also seem to have a technical issue of the phone shutting down when sending Pic msg, but that may not be a 'phone issue' and it hasn't been a big priority of mine to figure out so I can't blame the phone (yet).
The Ugly
The side button for the phone forces you to take snapshots of everything and then wish you had a much better camera.

15. Poor phone

I bought this phone about a month ago. My network provider is excellent--no comlaints here. But the battery sucks beyone all reason! It will only allow me to have one phone call for up to 2 1/2 hours before it starts bitching about a low battery. After talking for about 20 minutes, the phone gets hot to the touch.
I'm not sure about buying another Kyocera product ever again, considering my last phone (A Nokia)would go up to 7 days without having to be charged, reguardless of my length of phone calls.

This is the biggest piece of crap phone I've ever used. It drops calls every three minutes, the reception is so poor, if it isn't dropping my calls, I can't hear the person I'm talking to or they cannot hear me. A damn NIGHTMARE to try to carry on a conversation!! Do not walk, RUN from this crappy phone!!!!

The camera feature is the only thing going for this phone and it isnt even that good. Pay the money to get a motorola or nokia. Very Very Very poor battery life.

18. Worst battery

I have 2 of these phones and both batteries will no longer consistently take a charge. I've only had them a few months and first it was the one phone and now the other. I'm going to take the phones to my wireless provider and hope that the manufacturer's warrantly will replace the batteries. A service rep told me they may not because I have been charging them overnight and am not supposed to do that. This heats up the battery which destroys cells until there are no longer enough to charge.

The signal strength is poor to say the least. Its hard to use one handed. The battery doesn't last long at all. I would never have another one of these phones

20. I hate my cell phone.

This is the worst cell phone I have ever had. The phone gets hot after five minutes,literally hot to the touch. I mean REALLY hot.Furthermore,I have to stand out in the yard for the reception to be even remotely acceptable. It drops calls, and sometimes does not list missed calls that have been made to my number. The ringer does not go up enough in volume to be heard in a store. I am very dissatisfied with this product!
