Do not waste your money on this phone, myself, husband, and daughter all have this phone, common issue on all three~~ turns on and off by it self, screen blanks out, or flashes, front display works when it wants to..Does NOT hold a charge, will say battery and show fully charged, open it and it's flashing low battery. My husband's now you can NOT hear it ring at all, volume is on high but it is silent, never dropped it...Worse phone ever it's not just one phone its all 3 and all the same issues so it's kyocera...

2. Worst phone I have ever had.

From software issues to hardware issues this is the worst phone I have ever had. Re-set becomes standard, and having no ringer sucks.

3. not so good

I have had this phone over a year now and its driving my crazy, yes I have dropped it but it does stand up to that it shows little to no damage from me doing it so many times. The only problem I have with it powercycling on its own I put it down on the table and it will turn off and on so battery will not hold. One time it started dialing a number when I was on the web and yes that does drain the battery. Other than that it has held up pretty good.

4. phone is good..not great

i used to have alltel, and the service is FANTASTIC! i only switched becuz my mom got a job with verizon so now obviously, i have verizon. the phone looks awesome, when you turn it on however, the screen is kinda washed out. and just like all kyoceras, the battery is HORRIBLE. i fyou use your phone, it'll be dead within a few hours..believe me, it suckd for me because i had 2 kyocera phones....EWW. but anyway, the call sound is awesome. but even though i the battery was the worst ever, and i used the phone a lot, id love to get this phone back.

5. Candid can't do anything.

10%1out of 10

I've had 3 of these and they have all died from manufacture defects. I dropped the first one I had, and the battery pack flew off and never re-attatched and the speaker fell out so it's permanently on silent. The battery life is attrocious, the slightest moisture causes it to freeze just by turning it on (and I mean indefinitely). I had it in my pocket while I was trying to put air in my tire one rainy day, and it never worked right again. The camera picture quality is humiliating. And in summation, poor signal, poor reception to Axcess (Alltel), it's made ENTIRELY of cheap plastic (the battery being the heaviest component) and the doodler doesn't even doodle. Boo kyocera...

6. I like this phone

I have had this phone for almost a year now. I really like its features. I have had slider phones,, blue tooth capeable. I have had the same problems that other people have had with it. I realized though that it cannot move as fast as my fingers to when it decides to freeze up like when I am doing a redial many many times in a row,, I wish the speaker phone worked with the phone closed this way I can hang it around my neck while driving.
I have been thinking about getting a new one upgrade my phone. but the only thing I am worried about not finding my favorite feature that is the flashlight. I really like this phone.. now I listed my grades as 9s only because I know there is something out there better I am just satisfied with what I have ...

7. I hate IT

13 Feb 2007 by Demetria

I've had this phone since June 2006 when I thought I was getting a good deal from trading out my other raggedy phone. Every since I've had this phone the battery will die and it refuses to charge even when it's on the charger. I am just hoping it will just quit working so that I can buy a new one. Especially since this is like my second one and my cell phone company is going to get tired of seeing me bring this raggedy mess back to the store. I honestly hate this phone and wouldn't advice anyone in their right mind to waste their money like that because you end up wasting your precious time also.

8. Some say 200 phone book capacity and some say 500

24 Dec 2006 by Carrie Monroe

Just to let yall know, if you're looking for information on this phone's contact info, it is a little iffy. I have this phone, and my user guide says it holds on average "about" 200 numbers. I have 269 numbers stored in it so far. So I am going to assume that it really holds 500. Which is exactly what I wanted. And also there is no info on the phone itself as far as contacts. So unless you manually count it, you don't know how many contacts you have, or how many you may have left. Other than that I like my phone.

it works great at first. they battery stays alive for a long time except it freezes for about a week then it doesn't do it again and eventually the battery only stays alive for about 5 minutes so its an okay short term phone

10. its pretty cool

i dont know what the problem is. i dont own this phone yet but i know a lot of people that do and i use their phone all the time. there is nothing wrong with the phone..yeh, the battery isnt that great but oh well. get over it. a cell phone isnt meant for you to be on it for hours at a time. thats why the battery isnt good. come on people. get some sence! its really a good phone. im tired of people putting this phone down saying it "sucks" because of the calls being dropped. its not the phones fault that calls dropped, its the service providers fault. anyway. im getting this phone from Cricket next month when i get the money to pay for it. but honestly, i do recommend this phone.
