I love the look of this phone, unfortunately, that is the only thing going for it.. The battery life is horrible. It drops calls. It erases my call log all by itself. The sound quality stinks.

I have to say that this is the most disappointing phone I have ever owned. for a little background, i am not in to a lot of bells and whistles. I like clam shell phones that work well. besides that, i am just not going to pay for all the extra. the nokia intrigue's buttons were too small, it collected finger prints like crazy, the battery life was terrible, the phone echoed when you talked, and the texting was quite annoying. the only saving grace was the habitat mode, which is very cool. unfortunately, that was not enough for me to keep the phone. after just under a month of use, i took it back for a full refund and went back to my old LG. maybe verizon will come out with something that is nice, simple, functional, stylish, and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

i was one of this first to get this phone when it was released. wasn't planning on it when i walked into the store, but i guess i didn't care enough to shop around. it was new and looked nice, i could afford it. pretty UNREALISTIC how it doesn't save any words you use in T9? what kind of a phone doesn't do that nowadays? 'what the duck'
i'm faster than the phone, which is ashame because i can't floss on it. texting freezes up sometimes, and maybe there's a feature i'm not realizing but it copies word's i write in texts and paste's them several times. annoying. habitat look's awesome, but
not a house phone/brick
big clock on the front. easy to read
reading texts on the front is a blastdoesn't remember common words in T9 texting...
sometime's it takes 5 and doesn't work. then you have to smack the battery out and reboot it.
phone's are miserable

I had this phone for a little more than a week before returning it. I couldn't even make it through a full day without having to charge the battery. The system was sluggish, always lagging if I texted too fast or moved through the menus quickly. As every other review says on here, the phone is very sleek and cool, but that's about it for this phone. If you spend more time looking at your phone than actually using it, this would be a good choice.

I was very excited when i got this phone because i really liked the habitat mode and the pink keypad. Now that I have it I hate it. T9 is horrible it doesn't know like any words and doesn't also can't remember the words you input. the battery life is one of the worst i have ever seen. the commands on the phone are slow and some times mess up. it freezes to many times in a day.
Habitat, pink keypad,Short Battery life, Bad T9, freezes, shuts down for no reason, comands get messed up

I originally had my mind set on the LG Versa until the Intrigue came out. The deal breaker was the NE2 price difference: $40 for the Intrigue vs. $150 for the Versa. The phone is simple to use and is downright elegant. The Habitat mode is a breakaway from the normal Verizon interface. The hidden front screen is also unique, allowing you to read your messages with the flip closed. My only big negative is the weak vibrating mode.
Phone is very small, sleek and simple to use, and I like the Habitat mode
The outside, hidden screen works very well to provide a quick look at any incoming text messages
Call clarity is excellent.
Music player works great, and the outside controls are very responsive
Alarm works very well
Poor vibrate mode. I could not feel it vibrate in my pocket nor could I find an internal adjustment to make it stronger
Front is a fingerprint magnet, which detracts from the beauty of it.
While the jury is still out on this one, it appears that the battery drains rather quickly.

9. Beautiful phone, but can't make a good call to save its life

I've had the phone for a couple days, and can say I want to love this phone. I want it to be the phone I use for the next two, three, heck four years. It's so beautiful. I used to be jealous when the Razrs first came out and I didn't have one. Now I am satisfied. Visually, anyways.
Reception-wise, the outlook is dismal. I have not had one good call (of about five). In locations that my four-year old Samsung SCH-670 handled without a problem, the Intrigue has had calls and voicemail cut in and out repeatedly, be tinny, and simply cut off as "call was lost". Another review site, based in San Francisco near where I am, said it was only average - I haven't even found it to be that. Lastly, I also found on one of my calls (like another reviewer I said) that the volume went quiet all on its own. It only did this once, and was probably just another symptom of bad reception. However this obviously is a deal-breaker if I can't get these issues to improve.
As other reviews will tell you, it's got a lot of goodies, like Habitat mode, which keeps contacts on the main menu, allowing you to get to the profiles of people you've been talking to, seeing the history of your interaction with them. It also has a good camera, huge front screen that is minimalistic but perfect for me, and... when you text and type "me" it comes up "me", not "of"! I never found another way to get around that, and it really pissed me off, so that's a big, nagging problem fixed for me. Unfortunately, when you switch from ABC to Word and back, it does automatically put it in Initial Cap mode, which is annoying. Everything else about this phone is fantastic.
This phone is beautiful, the operating system is fast, Habitat mode makes the layout look great (thank you Nokia, take THAT Verizon!), speakerphone, camera, it's all there and it's all great. Except RECEPTION. So try this phone out if you can, but make sure you're able to return it if it doesn't do the most important task you'll ask of it: make clear calls.
