1. No echo - everything works well

I bought this phone used, and found out about the echo many people were experiencing after I had purchased it. I was approached the phone with trepidation when I began using it, but after testing it myself and asking other people if they hear an echo or if they hear other conversations, it's fine. I love the slim form factor, and the menu design. T9 is great for me for texting, and I can't wait to try out mp3s on this thing.

Overall, I'm happy with it, no complaints.

i don't know if i got a good one or what, but mine doesn't echo AT ALL. ive asked all the people i talk to on a regular basis and they say its fine and they can hear me perfectly clear.
i think the phone is great and its so sleek ans slim. easy to hide while in school:)
the bottom of my up, down, left, right navigastion keys is rubbing off..but thats all.

3. Decent Phone

I have had the problem with the echo, but it can be remedied. The problem, I feel is that the microphone for the phone is much too sensitive. It can pick up conversations that are in another room. As for the echo remedy, it can be remedied by not speaking directly into the microphone, but by holding it away from your face. It looks silly, but it works. The phone is very nice though.

waste of money-phone has some good features, but they don't even come close to making up for the terrible echo. Everyone I talk to has reported hearing themselves echo back. It makes it impossible to carry on a conversation. Can't believe Alltel gets away with selling such a piece of junk!

6. Ok for a beginner

Anyone who wants to use the bluetooth for anything other than a headset, FORGET IT!. Yes it has a sim card, but you can't get ringtones from it, or thru a bluetooth connecton. Only way is if someone texts them or u buy them. I also tried using the bluetooth on my GPS and it wont do that either. I'm happy with my reception and call drop rate, rarely do I drop calls. As for the echo, I've never had this problem.

8. nice phone for the money

had this phone for a month and am happy with it. I installed the latest firmware and added some duct tape to the inside of the battery cover and that seems to have helped to eliminate the echo problem some people have reported. Ive got a 1gb microsd card loaded with music. The only gripe I have is that there doesnt seem to be any way to sort music by folder or artist.

9. echo fix ... maybe not. something else.

in regard to my previous review, the hand to antenna proximity must have been coincidences.

tried the software update via the phone with no joy.

elsewhere on the internet, people have reported success by inserting a piece of thin packing foam between the battery and the battery cover. I used folded paper and got good results but too soon to tell.

Also called Alltel and they had me come in for a software flash at the store.

All and all, I'd say this phone is too much of a headache for most people. I'm gonna see if i can get mine working since i already have it. but i'd advise you not to get this phone.

10. echo fix...maybe.

i just got this phone today and love it. absolutely love it. but people i've talked to complained of an echo. so i fiddle with it and it appears that it echos most while my hand is over or near the antenna and not there when i hold the phone closer to the bottom.

perhaps this is a fix. perhaps not. too soon to tell.
