Excellent phone for the price

2 Oct 2008 Thomas A.

10 out of 10

Despite PhoneArena's review, I find this phone has excellent features, and is very appealing to people when they see that your phone can actually swivel. It has every single converter imaginable, size, weight, volume, length, temperature, and currency. You really can't go wrong with this phone, the call quality is excellent, and the camera is phenominal. The speakers are very loud, but I miss the music player from the VX-8500 chocolate. The 2.5mm jack is a let down, I had to get an adapter from Radio Shack, save yourself the time, and make sure you get the one with the 3 black rings. Verizon's website also has this listed as sdHC compatible, and its not, the max size is 2gb, but its not an iPod, and i bought it for the camera aspect, so it doesnt bother me. The screens are finger print magnets, and have to be wiped off every few seconds. I bought a $10 clear lexan case for my phone off ebay, at half the price of a leather case, it provides just as much protection, and keeps the natural beauty of the phone. It does take some time to adjust to the phone and learn how to work the camera when the screen is flipped, but it makes for getting that perfect shot very quick after the first week. I personally recommend this phone to anyone who wants to stand out from the crowd and doesnt want to carry a camera and iPod around.

Pros

Boxy design, swivel screen, quick seach feature, bluetooth printing

Cons

fingerprint magnet, 2.5mm headset jack, vcast music player

i think the phone is great. AND YES you can check the time without opening the phone, you just have to hold the button in!! duh! i mean come on.. all the people that say this phone sucks are stupid. you just have to play with it. i've had no problem with my phone getting scratched, you just have to take care of it. apparently most people dont take care of theres. i think the font is fine, and you can change the size too. like i said, you just have to play around with it.

hate it

this phone is absolutely terrible. i've had to for some months now and all i've had is problems mainly with texting. ie: when the view now view later screen comes up it will say one persons name and then it will really be from another person, delivery fails constantly and freezes the screen, delivery is said to be incomplete but the person somehow recieves the message. the camera is nothing to go crazy about, and the buttons are way to small to text on. it just ultimately pisses me off constantly. DO NOT GET THIS PHONE.

Pros

camera and the effects and editing you can use on your pictures after you take them

Cons

the buttons for texting the easy to scratch surface performance in general no many. you also can't check the time by clicking a button on the side like most phones. you have to open the whole phone up and close it again to see the time.
