Good Phone (Now discontinued)

27 Jan 2009 brimar05

7 out of 10

I'll keep this short and sweet since the phone is discontinued.

This phone is basically just that - a "phone". There aren't really any great features for the high tech people.

It's a solid phone, constructed well.

My screen is wearing out after nearly 2 years - when I flip the screen open, I have to wiggle it around in order for the display to come on. But I think that's just "normal" wear & tear.

Pros

Looks good
Well Built
Good Reception & Quality

Cons

Camera is ONLY good in bright light. Period. No flash.
Screen wore out.
Front screen is not receptive to Photo CallerID

In addition to my review, I tried to find as many reviews on the internet as I could. I located 11, one more elaborate than the other.
What struck me was the number of complete opposites with regard to many features. Some say the camera is lousy, others think it's great. Some say calls are not loud and clear, others marvel at the clarity, etc., etc. It shows you that you basically have to buy the phone that answers your needs and seems pleasing to you, hoping that the features are as good as the manufacturer or the provider want you to believe! Reviews of phones are like reviews of movies: the reviewer likes it or not.
