No major problems, numerous inconveniences. Bad for texting.

4 Oct 2008 J

5.7 out of 10

Pretty standard phone now-a-days. No bells or whistles except a low-end camera. Should certainly be free with a plan/contract. Too many annoyances though. I have the option to return it for another phone and I'm going to do that. If you text more than you talk, this is not the phone you want. Liked my old Nokia 6019i better.


I would suggest it for an older person who just needs a reliable phone that can hold a few photos of the grandkids.


I will probably return it for a LG UX300 (free, better for texting) or a Motorola W385 (not free).


*My pros are outnumbered by my cons here but notice the important things are under pros.*


 


Cons cont.


-Sounds/ringtones suck. There's no normal, average cell phone ringtone. Ditto for alarm. You can't turn off, or even turn down, the shutter sound on the camera. How am I supposed to secretly take upskirt pictures with a big loud shutter noise?? jk
-Internal antenna. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I miss the external (extending) antennas. Even if they have improved the radiation (or whatever) coming from phones, I'd still like it farther away from my brain.
-Sort of weak vibrate. Might not hear it vibrating on a table, etc. Also it will only both ring and vibrate if the ring volume is maxed.
-No games. Really? They can't even put that Snake game on here?? If I'm on a train or something, it'd be nice to have a little something to kill time.
-No snooze feature for alarm clock. You press a button, it's off.





-Feels pretty durable. Some of the cheaper flip phones feel like they shatter if you close them too hard. This feels like it would survive a drop.
-FREE. Worth every penny.
-No complaints about signal/reception.
-Looks nice IMO.
-2.5mm headset jack. Will work with many inexpensive headsets.
Stuff I wish was on one the reviews I read.
-BAD FOR TEXTING. There's no real quick way to get to the "new text message" and no quick way to enter a contact's number. More frustrating is the same key delay time. Like if want to type "hi" you press 4,4...4,4,4. The time you have to wait for the cursor to move over (...) is too long. Doesn't sound like much describing it, but trust me, its annoying. Plus, the # being the space key stinks unless you text left-handed.

sweet phone

This is a great phone for people who do not want all that extra stuff. This phone has a VGA camera that holds 56 pictures and does not have video. It does have a quiet speakerphone but hey it has a speakerphone doesnt that count for something. It has a calendar, calculator, alarm clock, world clock, notepad, and voice commands. A cool thing is its In Case Of Emergency thing it has on this phone it is very reliable also with E911. The reception is just wonderful and it always has 4 bars. I agree it has a short battery life if used too much in one day but this phone actually lasts 5 days without use. With use its 2 days. The color is nice and this is best with Verizon. It doesnt have Bluetooth, video, memory card slot, flash, downloadable ringtones or games, it doesnt have preloaded games and etc. But this is an efficient phone and I recommend it and get this phone and take my advice even though you do not know me. Or I would ask you to get a phone you would want having all of that EXTRA STUFF.
