Product Review

Not very reliable and limited number of features

by   concernedx80 ,   May 15, 2008

Pros:  Compatible with My Faves, can set up multiple alarms, remembers frequently used words

Cons:  Low image quality, one port for both charging and headphones, slow to load pictures

The Bottom Line:  Nice looking fun with a limited number of features and poor reliability. I would not buy it again if I had the choice.

Overall Rating: 2/5 stars
 

Author's Review

It is not a horrible phone but it is not worth the amount I paid for it. I miss my old phone, which was actually cheaper.

CONS

1. Low image quality. When you take pictures with the phone, it is hard to see the faces and details. I know it is a phone but I have had other phones before, always the cheapest I could buy, and their pictures at least were ok. The pictures on this phone look pixilated and are hard to see.

2. One port for both charging and headphones. Since there is a single port to connect the charger and the headphones, you cannot use both at the same time. Sometimes I forget to charge my phone at home and I want to charge it in the car, but I cannot do that if I need to use it because I used my headphones in the car. I just wish they had put two separate ports.

3. Slow to load pictures. When you try to view pictures, it takes a while to load them. If you are trying to look for a specific picture and have to go through them one by one, you will have to wait for each image to load to see it. It just takes too long and I am always looking for pictures to view them when I miss my family.

4. Hard to slide. It is a sliding phone which is cool, but it is a little hard to slide it. My previous phone was also a sliding phone but it was a lot easier to slide. With this one you have to push it a little bit hard.

5. No Notepad-like tool. This phone does not have many tools and the one I especially miss is to write notes. Sometimes when I am on the phone and I have to write something down, such as a confirmation number or something like that, I liked using the Notepad tool but this phone does not have that.

6. Not good reception. Sometimes I have to hang up and call the person again to get better reception. This happens with different people, most with different phones. Sometimes it does not work with the Bluetooth and when using the speaker sometimes people cannot hear everything I say.

7. Difficult to remove memory card. You have to open the phone and remove the battery to be able to remove the memory card.

PROS

1. Can set up several alarms. You can create an alarm for school, another one for work, etc, for different times. And once you get up and turn the alarm off, you do not have to set it up again the next day. It automatically goes off every day at the same time until you actually disable that specific alarm. I think that is really cool because I do not have to worry about setting it up every night and I love having all my alarms separate.

2. Supports My Faves. I have a My Faves plan so this is an essential feature.

3. Saves words automatically. When I type a message that uses the same words as a previous message, it will let me choose if I want to use the same words in the message again. That is perfect for messages where I use another language because they were not saved in the phone before but now they are.

Hopefully I have given you a good idea of what to expect with this phone. If I had the choice again, I would not buy it because I need better performance and reliability and more features.
