This Phone sucks!!

Ive had this phone for 2 years and hated it since I got it. At first it was fine. Until I bought a ringer. Turns out I couldnt hear it. This phone is so low. If I have it in my pocket I miss all my calls. I have to hold the phone to not miss a call. I got random scratches on the phone everywhere. I take care of all my phones by the way...but after a while, my front screen went white and now I cant see a thing. I have to open the phone to look at the time, and who is calling. The battery door easily falls off. Both my rubber pieces to the Bluetooth and charger have fallen completely off! And now, people cant hear me when were on the phone and I cant hear them. When the volume is all the way up. So This phone is the worse phone out there! It sucks!

Pros

The camera is the best thing on the phone.

Cons

The phone sucks!

I decided to post a review after a long time of having this phone. Overall I've found it to be reliable but could be better in certain aspects. The flip mechanism clicks/locks into the open or closed position which I didn't like. After some time, this click/lock mechanism failed and the phone still opens/closes but when I close the phone, it doesn't fully shut and the internal display stays on.

The phone for the most part was quite durable. I've dropped it on cement a couple times and hasn't cracked the screen or anything although did leave some scrape marks. A couple times when I dropped it, the battery came out, but no major damage to the phone.

There has been posts about the internal screen going completely blank, I've had this happen but I simply took out the battery, and put it back in and turned the phone on and that seemed to work. I have also had problems with late texts or not receiving them at all, but not too often. This phone was quite easy to text with I found though, however, if you text lots as well, you will most likely wear out that closing/opening click/locking mechanism part of the phone which annoyed me when that happened.

Pros

Durable for the most part

Cons

Flip mechanism
Internal screen blank-out (goes white)... Rarely happened
Delayed texts... infrequent

Again I have found another Sanyo phone that craps out at the charging port. Have liked its slim style compared to others but having trouble with the unit blue screening on me. I keep the phone in my pocket and was never abused so I am surprised by its disfunction. The listening port is also a pain to position for best operation. Wouldnt buy it again.
