So Far So Good!

9 Nov 2009 mcndrws

9 out of 10

It Was Time For An Upgrade And I Finally Decided On This Phone After Doing Quite A Bit Of Research.
It Has The Best Reception Of Any Cell Phone That I've Ever Had. Call Quality Is Great And So Far I Have Had No Dropped Calls. The Camera Is Pretty Good Too ... So Far So Good ... I'll Check Back If Any Problems Arise.

Pros

Nice Size ... Good Call Volume .. Nice Camera. Great Reception.

Cons

None That i Have Encountered

great phone, but depends

It's an overal good phone. Call quality is great, photos look good and the way it handles media is awesome too. The design is really nice and feels sturdy. I just didn't like how it randomly shut off on me for two days on and off but it doesn't do that anymore.

A lot of people complain about the keys, but in my opinion, I think they're good enough. Unless of course you're used to a bigger keypad or even a QWERTY keyboard. This is only for people who don't live off texting and don't need too much, although it does have a lot of extra features.

Pros

Screen, battery life, design, media program, interfacem customizability, call quality, 3G, camera, navigation array, soft back, micro sd card slot is on the outside

Cons

Randomly shuts off sometimes, no usb cable included, speakerphone volume isn't that loud

Great phone but not for me

1 May 2009 Anonymous

6.3 out of 10

This phone is great...good display, lots of features, etc. But I just wanted to post this in case there are any other people out there that need all the features of this phone and have arthritis in your hands and wrists. The buttons are rather difficult to push and my hand gets swollen after about 2 texts. It's also not very easy to hold in one hand while texting, you need your other hand to support the pressure from pushing it.

Again overall this is a great phone and someone that has no issues with small hands or pain will love it. I LOVE it I just wish I could keep it.

Pros

Great festures for the price
Sleek design
Good size display
Good graphics

Cons

Butons hard to push
Menu and T-zones buttons VERY small
Not great for one-handed texting
