Phone is the WORST I have ever owned

30 Sep 2008 Anonymous

2.3 out of 10

My boyfriend and I bought this phone about six months ago. His phone broke first. It only allowed him to talk via speakerphone. Mine broke within a week. It shuts itself off all the time (not just when texting.) Almost everytime I pick my phone up, it is off again. It used to just restart itself, but now it is always off. His phone has locked itself. It also says it has an "Initial Programming Error." None of the default lock codes work and he never set one up himself. So, we got what we paid for when we bought this phone. It was a waste of money.

Shuts-off

I've had the phone for over a year now. While it is a really cool phone it has some major problems. Primarily with shutting down ALL the time when I am typing a text. Many users on this forum have noted this problem. Can you imagine thumbing in a lengthy text and just before sending it the phone shuts off and you lost everything you typed. Not picture that happening to you 30 times a day like it does to me ...

The phone also requires a special USB/Headphones because the socket is non-standard. That blows. The Vcast music software is clumsy.

okay phone

i've had this phone for a little over a year and it's okay. i like the small size. one of the really annoying this is that some of the features can't be accessed while the phone is flipped open longways. also when i get text messages, instead of vibrating once, it vibrates 3 times in a row. mine has a really powerful vibrate, so it makes a lot of noise. the word mode for texting can't spell some things, and that really bothers me. words like interesting and hotel it doesn't recognize. the buttons are tiny too, so it is a little difficult to text on, either in qwerty mode or in word mode. i also have to charge it every 2 days for some reason.

Pros

small
full keyboard

Cons

the camera's flash doesn't do much
word mode doesn't know how to spell
if you have lots of stuff on phone, the phone lags
