Phone owned for

On my 3rd 8230.  First one droped calls, wouldnt receive calls or text messages.  2nd phone would only last 3hrs on a charge.  Did a battery swap, did the samething.  Now on my 3rd phone and hoping it works.  Doesnt look good.  Have made 1 call that was 5 minutes long, phone has been of the charger for 4hrs and it's already showing orange on the battery.  Not going to make it all day.  Hard to ru a business on this type of phone and us cellular will not let me change the phone out for a different one.

I really don't like this phone
Phone owned for

I have this phone and I hate it.  This phone sucks.  My first one that I got had it turned on, and with in 2 hours it fried the hard drive in itself, then I got a new one, and now it will just shut off, when it wants to, my clock won't hold the correct time.  You have alot of steps to go thru just to get to a missed call..  I just hate this phone, I would never recomend this phone for anyone to buy.  It's a pain in the butt.

I love this phone
Phone owned for

Its just an all around great phone. I have had all sorts of smartphones and this one yeah its lightweight but it always pulls through for me. I never have to reset it. The suretype is really accurate. And for a flip phone still retains a good new age look.
