I liked the thought put into this design a lot. My trouble was a cracked screen, which my part played a role, cracked ribbon, and now broken leads from the connection/charger port to the board. I haved replaced the screen plus bought two ribbon which I also replaced one of them; saved one for future. So many trouble with this beauty queen, thats probably why its discontinued.

Pros

Nice design and easy to use. Call response quick.

Cons

Bad quality in material and internal designs. Software is very limited; examples, only able to install java applications under 300k, only able to use mp3 as ringtone if under 30 seconds, not able to display some format of pictures.

2. Issues...

Ive had this phone for about 2 years now and hate it! I really like the design intent but it was executed poorly.

The first major issue I had with this phone is that the screen started to lose the color red and started working erratically, going on and off. When I saw this happening, I started to manually transfer all of my phone numbers I had from it onto the sim card. Unfortunately, this cannot be done all at one time because there is no option to transfer all of the phone numbers from the phone memory to sim card if you didn't specify it to save the numbers onto the sim card in the first place. After my screen finally died, I took it to an authorized Cingular store to have them hook up to a computer my screen-dead phone to get the numbers transferred to sim, but even though they have the device was hooked up, the phone didn't allow transfer because the phone would not work unless screen was operational. At this point, I wanted to get my numbers out so I wanted to find out myself what was wrong with the phone.
Since I deal with electronics at work, I felt comfortable taking it apart to see what was wrong with it and to repair it if possible. What I found out was that the ribbon cable that slid between the screen and the mainboard was cracking on one edge where there there was a bend which was there to allow for the screen slide. This is something that has to be replaced so I told called up customer service to get a new phone. They sent a new one and I took it apart, used the new screen to hook up to my old phones mainboard and was finally able to extract all of the stuff I needed. Then I buttoned everything back together and everything works! I sent the old phone back to cingular and they told me that even though my phone broke 2 weeks prior to a year of ownership, they were still going to charge me for the phone because there was no warranty on hardware. Only the software was covered under warranty, which I think is pretty stupid because my phone was practically in mint condition. Anyways, I was able to complain enough to get a refund back in the form of credits towards my monthly bill.

Pro: Design Concept, customization of settings, good slide feedback

Con: Phantom Restarts, microphone picks up a lot of background noise for the person on the other line, bad ribbon cable (maybe just mine), the majority of the time the screen stays on when talking on the phone wasting precious battery life, battery life could be better, bluetooth connection could be a bit more solid (too much static), audio recording is faint, system freezes every so often

3. Horrible

So I take pretty good care of this phone, and I must say it's the worst one I have ever had. It constantly freezes, restarts, hangs up on people. It also likes to wait until I'm in the middle of a conversation on it to start the ringtone. So I have to hang up on whoever I am talking to and take the battery out. I can't put it right back in or I have the same problem. I have to wait a few minutes. I would never recommend this phone. My fiance got the same one and his only lasted two weeks. He never dropped it or did any damage. No scratches nothing! It won't even power on. And no the battery isn't dead because I can use it in mine just fine.

Don't ever buy this phone. It stopped charging. I bought a new battery and charger, still won't work.

Looks new still. Only 1 year and two months old.

Was well taken care of.

I have had 3 of these phones under my year warranty. Now I am going to get another model. I had nothing but problems with all 3. In the end they all would get to the point they wouldn't even charge. No warning just basically stopped working. What hassle. Would not recommend this phone to anybody that just wants a phone to work when you pick it up. This phone has been nothing but a headache.

6. Through Thick n Thin...

I got this phone about a year ago. At the time, there wasn't much available to my liking in the Cingular store. The phone caught my eye, I kinda looked at it, then kept looking around, but somehow found myself coming back to it numerous times. It intrigued me enough to give it a shot.

This was the best decision I've ever made in choosing a phone. It's sleek, a great size for safe pocket-keeping, and just an overall straight-forward, easy-to-use phone. I haven't had any problems whatsoever with it.

There are only a couple of minor letdowns, but only "cosmetic" and nothing to do with its reliable function. I didn't really like the fact that I had to cut down ringtones to only about a 30-second file. You get used to it though, and when you do, it's an afterthought, really. The other letdown was the HUGE clock. It's hard to put a decent background so that the clock doesn't cover up half of the picture. And ALL of the choices for clocks are huge. I got used to this as well, though. I photoshop-ed my own and adjusted the pics to fit perfectly with the clock not interfering.

See? Told you they were purely cosmetic letdowns. ;o)

Everything else about this phone is fantastic. It's reliable as all heck, and is so durable. Everyone complains about the little cover piece over the input for the charger, but no one has yet to complain that it actually HAS torn off. lol That cover piece is still on my phone. It's more durable than it looks, obviously.

Sadly, I have to get a new phone. It's only due to operator's clumsiness, though. I've dropped it sooooo ridiculously many times, and the arrow buttons on the front are slightly askew, so they get stuck from time to time. This phone has put up with me for a whole year, and only just now do I need a new one. I don't blame it on the phone, though. It's not its fault I'm so friggin' clumsy. lol

It's just too bad that this phone is discontinued. I'd HIGHLY recommend it.

7. Not many can beat it

17 Sep 2007 by Derrik

There are only 3 cons (all of which consist of music deals) I have for this phone so i will list them first. (keep in mind that I am rating this phone according to it's category i.e.: palm pilots and the like are not comparable)
1. The maximum songs on an mp3 list seems to be around only 100
2. Some regular mp3s may not be playable if their kbps is too fast
3. In order to set a song as a ringtone, you have to cut it down to around
30 seconds.
Other than these three problems, i am very impressed by this phone and love everything there is to love about owning it. I will have a very difficult time finding a phone to fit my picky criterion after this one is old. I may have to get a palm pilot or the like to beat it.

When I finally decided to get me and my wife a new phone, I was looking for this phone in Black and White for my wife to find out that AT&T is taking it off the shelves..

Too bad that AT&T is doing that because I know that am not the only one that likes Slider phones more then the other options.. AT&T needs to bring the Sliders back to it's lineup..
