Torn

2 days ago Ms K

5.7 out of 10

I am torn I love the features on this phone but I hate the fact that the phone volume is so low. I wish my carrier would get more touch screen phones but until they do I am stuck with this phone.

Pros

all the features

Cons

low volume and low ringer volume

NOT MY FAVORITE

7 Oct 2008 ChihuaLover

5 out of 10

I have had so many phones & this is not one of my favorites.

I miss so many calls because I cannot hear the ringer. Don't even try to make a call in a hurry - can't do it...

It's bulky.

It's just not user friendly in my opinion.

The little bitty scroller on the side is almost worthless - too tiney to even use ....

I am not impressed with this phone at all.

Looks cool but looks are not better than functionality!
