1. AT&T Quickfire = Fail
10 Oct 2009 by Devon
30%3out of 10
This phone is lame. Cranked cheap out of China by PCD (or UTStarcom, they change their name frequently) the phone has a good design, however, the software is horrible. Using this phone, I frequently experience glitches (such as, tap one side of the screen, phone interprets it as some thing on the other side) freeze, and screen malfunction. It is also built with plastic products, has no bluetooth file transfer, and a horrible camera. Not good battery life either. Recommend switching to reliable brands. If you want a decent, good texting att phone, get an unlocked nokia of the samsung impression.

3. AT&T Quickfire - NOT GOOD

I was pretty excited to get this phone, I'm not gonna lie. It has an attractive design, the screen is large and on AT&T's website it looked pretty cool. However, this phone has been nothing but a PITA since I've owned it.
The touchscreen is awful. That's the only way to put it. It's completely unresponsive at times, it will click on random icons when you're trying to click something completely different, want to try scrolling? Forget about it! If anyone can accurately scroll with this thing without opening up some random menu or accidentally calling someone, I will pay them money.
Call quality is alright, however this thing drops calls ALL THE TIME. I live in downtown Atlanta and there would be days were I couldn't make a single phone call! The thing would just drop it the moment it connected. On days where I could actually SPEAK to someone through my phone, it would last maybe 1 minute before dropping the call. So it's a great paperweight in that respect, cause as a phone it fails.
The entire system lags. Sending a text message? Be prepaired to wait for awhile before the phone will respond to anything - this includes trying to get back to your inbox, send another text, or just LOOK at another text. My other cheap phone was much much more responsive, and a better texting phone because of this. While texting the phone will lag behind your keystrokes which gets to be pretty annoying as well.
The battery life is alright, I had to run the battery completely dead - then recharge it a few times for the battery to really start holding a charge. I charge it every night, but if I don't it will be dead in about a 1.5 - 2 days.
AT&T somehow approved this phone, which is a worthless piece of junk. I don't see why anyone would have approved this phone for production in its current state, it needs much improvement. Probably a business move in order to maximize profits during the holiday season.
The Bottom Line:
The phone is slow, drops calls all the time, the touchscreen is bad but the battery is decent. It fails as a phone, and succeeds only moderately as a texting device. Don't buy this phone.

4. The good phone that turned to horrible - AT&T Quickfire

Months and months ago, I received the Quickfire for a Christmas gift.
I absloutely LOOVED the phone, until a few weeks later when everything just happened to go wrong with it.
The touchscreen wouldn't work - it would pick other options on the other side of the screen, and many other things.
It also would freeze up ALL THE TIME and automatically shut down even when my battery power was full.
I would be in the middle of a text message or phone call and I would receive another text, and it would just shut off almost like it couldn't handle so much.
My parents got me this phone the very first few days of it coming out in stores, I think I should've waited to see the reviews but whatever, we all make mistakes and that was mine on behalf.
I now have the LG VU, and it works great!
It's all touchscreen, but has no problems like the Quickfire.
I'd recommend the LG VU or the Xenon.
They're both outstanding phones and work immensely great.
If for some very odd reason AT&T happens to put the Quickfire out in stores again, I would not get it no matter what they say.
All it will do is cause stress and anger.
Good touchscreen abilitiesEvery other thing on it

5. Not a good phone

I had this phone for a month before returning it. It's a great concept, but horribly designed. The touchscreen is frequently unresponsive and freezes without warning. Messaging on this phone was ok, but thats only because you have to use the qwerty keyboard which was pretty good except for the top row of buttons which were cramped underneath the sliding screen. The bad part was, to access many features on the phone, you HAVE to use the touchscreen. I had already been contemplating returning it and when I heard that it could start on fire, it was off to the AT&T store that afternoon. The Quickfire's concept really appealed to me, but its cheap design, horrible touchscreen, lack of features, and ability to kill me was really a turnoff.
Good Concept
QWERTY keyboard wasn't bad.Cheap Build
Horrible Touchscreen
It's deadly.

These phones have been recalled by AT&T after they became the worst phone AT&T released. The Liquid filled battery comment is retarded and the person who wrote it is completely wrong. Be careful with this phone, if you put the original charger in the phone upside down it can cause a huge malfunction in the device and there have been reports of the batteries bursting violently.

Just letting you guys know...the reason why your battery won't charge mroe than 1/3 of the way is because it is a liquid battery. Liquid batteries charge off of "memory." This means that the level of the liquid in the battery depends on how long the battery will last.
Here is your problem
When you first got the phone, you probably charged it completely. The phone comes with a 2/3 full battery of life when it is opened out of the package. This means that if you charge it right away, that the liquid is only charging 1/3 of the battery, and because of the memory, that's all it will ever charge. Now granted for the first few weeks you will get a full charge, but over time, the memory will kick in and you will only get 1/3 of a charge.
Whenever you have a liquid battery, you need to let it completely drain the battery before you charge it. This means keeping the phone on until it literally runs out of power and shuts off. This means the liquid level is as low as it can get, and you should get a full charge for a VERY long time. I can keep my phone on for 3 days without it shutting off, and I got it within two weeks after it came out.
None the less, this phone is horrible now, and it freezes a lot. Don't get it

8. Not what i expected

When i first got this phone i was very excited but it turned out to be a great dissappointment. I have now had two quickfires, the first one would always freeze up and the touch screen wouldnt work for hours. i found it very frustraiting and so i got a refurb instead. when you recive two txts at the same time it continously vibrates. when you are composing a txt message and u recive another new message it will not let u type the message for a while until the message is completely recived. the battery lasts for a day and then needs to be recharged once u make a call half the battery goes down.when u drop this fone it is easily scratched and the batery flys off. i have tried to get a case for this and it broke within a week...i hope this helped and i strogly reccomend gettin any other phone than this, it has probebly been one of the worst phones ive had and i have gone through 8 phones in the past couple years.
easy to textscreen frezzes constantly

Called at&t to replace phone for the screen freezing, gave the option of LG VU or Samsung Incite. Quickfires are junk
