Adorable Phone

17 Oct 2009 Anonymous

8.3 out of 10

I've had this phone for almost a year, and I'm getting an upgrade soon - the lg Versa. But this phone has been a good phone for the past year of my life. It's cute and original, not many people have it! Whenever I take out my phone, someone comments on it. I call it my "fat square" because it's a square shape, and it is pretty bulky. If you're one of those people who carries their phones in their pockets, this isn't for you. Also, I've never seen a case for this phone. The camera quality isn't great, but it gets the job done. It also can't take video, which is a shame. Sometimes I would "butt dial" and end up on the internet, sometimes as long as 19 hours! Lately, the phone has been acting up a little bit, but not terribly. It turns off randomly, but it's only done that about 10 times. One thing I love about this phone is the battery life. I can go a week without charging it! I loved the keyboard because the letters were close together. Some people probably didn't like this, but I have small fingers so I could press the keys. And since they were so close, it made me a really fast typer. The entire format of this phone is simple and easy to do, too.

So, basically, if you don't really care about having a high-tech phone, and you just want a cute, durable phone, this is for you!

Pros

- originality
- shape
- battery life
- good sound during calls
- hard to lose! (because it's pretty big)
- good keyboard (keys close together = fast typing)
- simple format
- looks like a blackberry

Cons

- picture quality
- no video
- "butt dialing"
- bulkiness
- random shut-offs (not too often, though)

Haha I agree with the previous post! One of those customers that NO ONE can make happy!!! There are technicians in every single store-get real. Customer service is also located in the U.S. so yeah they are definately pretty fluent in English?? The phone is great for its purpose. Basic and quite easy to use. It is nice and small to fit in a pocket and still has the full keyboard option.

Pros

Everything

Cons

None
