So far, so good

9 Oct 2008 by BKwg

6.7 out of 10

I just received the phone yesterday as part of a renewed 2-year contract. I wanted to replace my phone with something that is sturdy and basic. I did a fair amount of research on phone arena and settled on this phone.

So far, it has met its expectations. The phone is a little thicker than I thought (not much different from my LG8300), the screen is a little smaller than I imagined, but I like the rubber keys.

Sound seems fine - don't know if it's my imagination but the voice seems kind of electronic. The vibrate is definitely softer than my last phone, but I tend to wake easily with little sound, so it's not a problem really. Reception where I am sucks already so it's hard for me to judge. I will post again if it turns out to be really bad.

Phone has met my expectations in terms of general look, utility, price.

Pros

Love the mirror in front - accessible reflection
Rubber keys
Overall sleek look

Cons

Small screen
Thicker than expected

Stop Complaining

4 Oct 2008 by Geoff in TO

8 out of 10

I hate people that give phones a bad review just because they don't have features they want, listen buy a phone with those features then review it, this phone is simply made to function as a phone, nothing more nothing less, i have a camera and an mp3 player i don't need a phone for that which is why i bought this simple nice looking phone. So far so good. If I have one complaint its the texting is a little slow, but not enought to make me hate the phone. So buy this one if you want a phone, if you want more than that look elsewhere

Can't See

16 Jul 2008 by Chip Porter

8.4 out of 10

There was a lot to like about this phone. Sound quality was great, signal quality was good, texting was easy...the problem is reading the screens. The screen on the cover is worthless. The size of text it uses is infintesimal. I thought that would be ok, as I would set the phone to only answer after I hit a key. That way, I could open up the clamshell and read the larger screen to see who the caller was before I answered. NO GOOD. The text on the big screen is just as small as the text on the small screen. Someone really screwed up programming this feature.

One other feature that I didn't like, was the vibe then ring feature. Why can't they just make it to vibe and ring like every other manufacturer?
