1. Over Kyocera!

I had the Kyocera Palm phone a few years back&hated it but I bought the Strobe for the QWERTY board(should've read the reviews BEFORE I bought it!)& was happy w/it(except for when it'd turn itself back on immediately after I'd turned it off!)until the pixels started messing up after a few months-just like other reviewers said!Took it back to N-Telos(VA)& they sent it out to ensure it wasn't water damaged(it hadn't been anywhere near water or even dropped!)Kyocera replaced it with the Lingo which,again,I was happy w/&liked it much better than the Strobe but now it's messing up(had it about 3 months).It's started connecting to the internet INDEPENDENTLY!I noticed the charging light flashing a few times when it wasn't plugged in&I wasn't sending/receiving&it wouldn't let me do anything.Had to cut it off completely&turn it back on to make it stop&allow me to use my phone.I just got my phonebill and the damn phone's been surfing by itself!Kyocera sucks.Period.NEVER getting another Kyocera!!!!!!

2. You really can't get a worse phone

I really dislike everything about this phone. The only good thing about it is it's sound quality (that is when i can get a signal). I've used other phones on the cricket network and they're significantly better in terms of signal strength then this one, but i have never really thought that Cricket was worth while. I don't think you should buy this phone EVER. Learn from someone who's learned from his mistake and stay away from the lingo and also cricket. At least i have no contract to break with them and will be switching to Sprint.

I have the kyocera one and it's nothing special. The screen is a little on the small side making pictures a pixelated disaster.I agree about deleting texts. Not to mention it can't hold all that many to begin with. But the one thing that really drives me crazy is that it freezes on me all the time. I mean all the damn time. I'm constantly having to take out the battery and start it back up. It's like a commodore 64 or or something. When it dies I'm simply going to move on. No love lost.

9. cricket or kyocera?

my main concern is the text messaging. i have the cricket version and randomly everyday the texts just stop sending. i get all kinds of error codes or the texts take upto an hour to get to the recipients. the cricket reps. say its the software on the phone. the techs. at the store say nothing is wrong. i had the audiovox 8900 for years with cricket before this phone and never had a texting problem ever. so im thinking it is the phone.......but since its been 30+ days and the cricket insurance plan doesnt seem worth it, i'm stuck with a piece of garbage.
good design, ok features, terrible software..........thumbs down

I love my new phone. I just am having the same problems as listed above. The vibrate comes on like every 5 min if i put it on vibrate mode so i think I have a call or a text when i really dont. I noticed the signal is not as good as my last Cricket phone (Moto SLVR) Its light weight, and the keyboard is AWESOME. I hate the ringtones and tryed to send one to my phone from my friends. it will save the sound but I cant apply it as a ringtone. I could on my old phone. other than that the pic sending is the same. it doesnt cover the entire screen and looks kinda crappy. I also tryed to send a screensaver and it wont let you apply as a screensaver. ONLY CALLER ID OR WALLPAPER and then the wallpaper doesnt move. I enjoy the text and the look of the phone and im a big texter so i noticed the battery life is very slim. other than that its a good phone to have if you text as much as i do.
