Quit griping, it works wonderfully as a phone!

5 Jul 2008 Eureka

7.4 out of 10

I got this phone in early August of 2005...I'm just now replacing it because the button that determines whether it's open or closed is worn out. I think three years for a cell phone is pretty impressive.

So in these three years, I've noticed it does like to freeze up...rather annoying. The camera isn't that outstanding, but it's not that terrible. Compare it to a Samsung Stripe and see what you think. Anyway, it's a portable telephone...if you want high quality pictures, buy a digital camera.

Also, I went through a period of a few months where the call sound quality would randomly be horrible. People on the other end said they couldn't understand me, I sounded like a robot. I hung up and called back and usually it was fine. Verizon suggested I update by calling that *(whatever 3 numbers) and it still did that for a while, but it eventually stopped. Also there have been a few times I would drop calls for NO reason in places where I had full signal. I'd watch the signal bars slowly climb back up to five after it dropped...and it would drop repeatedly (I tried calling back until I got sick of it. I think one time it dropped a call 5 times in a row. That was nice.)

The only design issues I have are yeah, a pretty small screen, and the goofy antenna (that does nothing) sticking up.

Digging for the date is pretty dumb. Agreed.

Speakerphone is mediocre.

And that battery hasn't been too great, either. I've pretty much always had to charge it every night. If I don't use it at all I can get 3 days out of a full charge.

Keep in mind I'm only listing the problems I've had. I've dropped it quite a few times, but it's always been in a leather case. Even so, those shocks can't have been good for it. Sitting on any phone, esp. a flip phone isn't good and I do that sometimes. It's gotten wet, too...not completely submerged, but definitely wet.

So I've beaten it up in THREE YEARS, and I'm only getting a new one because of that button issue. It's just getting old. When I open it, the screen either stays dark like it doesn't know it's open, or it flickers a few times. I had to change the answer options to pressing a button because it would hang up on people when I opened it. But then, over the years I would fling it open and snap it shut, so I'm probably partially responsible for that poor little button.

So yeah, it's had some annoying problems, but it's been a tough little soldier. Sleek design, sturdy build (a little wiggle at the hinge...like I said...I sit on it), and the ringtones are fine, the color schemes are diverse, I've gotten signal where most other people don't, and as of this moment, the lifetime calls is: 801 hrs, 2 mins, and 25 secs. So I remain wholly impressed by my phone.

Its a good phone that takes a beating. Ive had mine for 3 years, altho the battery sucks if you buy the bigger battery like the nextel iden phones use youll get 2 days talk time. it does have some occasional glitches but whats perfect these days. sad but true i have 2 of these and use them daily i dont plan to upgrade till the phone falls apart. motorola makes by far the most durable electronic devises, the razr and krzr being exceptions.
