The good: Pros: <br>-Lightweight and compact, the V360 feels solid in hand. Opening hinge is strong, and the faceplate shuts with a satisfying snap. Keys are sufficiently sized for my large hands, texting is easy as is dialing numbers. Phone doesn't feel cheap. <br>-Internal antenna provides good all-around coverage for a clamshell. (external or stub antennas are superior however) <br>-High end features at mid-level price: Bluetooth, Mp3 player, removable memory card, color screen. VGA camera with video c<p/>The bad: Cons: <br>-56mb card is only about 15 songs worth, not counting pictures or videos. 256mb+ card would really be needed, which would be a $50-$70 extra cost. Does not play Apple coded music. <br>-No stereo headphones included. (handsfree does play Mp3 though) <br>-Not quad band. Only domestic tri-band (850, 1800,1900mhz) <br>-Even being familar with Motorola menus, still took a while to set-up to my standards out of the box. Read the manual. <br>-This phone is pure Motorola. If Motorola user func<p/>Summary: I traded in my V195 for this phone and it was the best decision i could've made cell phone wise. I've read a couple of reviews that says that the phone has poor sound quality. I hear everyone I'm talking to clearly, even in a loud environment and everyone says that I can be heard clearly also. <br><br>PROS: Great camera for a cell phone. Takes clear pictures for the most part <br><br>Plays MP3's <br><br>Nice, clear, color screen <br><br>Sturdy clam shell phone and snaps shut nicely <br><br>Nice design, if you're into looks <br><br>You can take pictures with the camera and use them as the screen on the main menu. For me, this keeps me from paying for wallpaper for my phone. <br><br>Comes with a wide array of ringtones as well as a few hi-fi's <br><br>You can change around the function for the keys to what works for you. <br><br>Takes videos and let's you create your own ringtones <br><br>Nice loud ringtones <br><br>For me, clear good reception <br>I could go on but this is just to name a few. Now for the few, very few, cons of this phone. Which they really don't bother me, but I'll mention. <br><br>
The good: Slim, lightweight, battery life, handsfree speakerphone<p/>The bad: Screen in bright light, price<p/>Summary: I have had this for about 6 months, it has great reception compared to my wifes RAZR, the battery life is great for phone use. Using the iTues kills the battery in 6 hours. Has more features than anyone could ever use.
The good: -easy to navigate<br>-reminds me of the v205 interface<br>-1 touch mp3/fm player<br>-small, light weight, stylish<p/>The bad: -weak battery life<br>-scratches kinda easily<br>-non upgradable memory<p/>Summary: The Samsung e730 is an awesome phone - it's very easy to navigate and has many unique multimedia features. I was very impressed that they decided to implement an FM radio in the phone - one that I use frequently. <br><br>Along with the mp3s and music, it also has a 1.3 MP camera (also video recorder), calendar, and all the normal features you'd find on any other phone.<br><br>The Samsung e730 comes with 96mb internal memory, but one draw back is that it only stores this amount. There is no external memory. I'd say this is around 20 songs on the phone, but really, who needs anymore?<br><br>The drawbacks of this phone model are the lack or battery life, and the easy stratching housing. The short battery life is commonly found in newer Samsung phones. I would say I recharge the battery every two days of normal talking. It takes about 1.5 days before I notice the battery goes down to 2/3rd battery life. I've never had this with my Nokia, but then again i've never had an mp3 phone or stylish one either.<br><br>Another draw back is the case stratches "easily". I have the glossy black version, and if you are getting the samsung e730, I suggest getting the black matted one. They really aren't that bad, and if I could take a picture of it for you I would. Shine it in light and you'll see a couple. That's it. I noticed it was a common complant among the e730 forums, but it really isn't all so bad. One could easily polish them out anyway.<br><br>Overall, I love this phone. I'll probably use it for 2-3 more years before replacing it. If you're looking for an mp3 phone, and don't need so many songs, this is your phone. 20 is enough. It's like a CD. Trust me mp3 lovers, you'll love this phone.
The good: Calls are very clear <br>Nice services for answering questions and upgrades <br>Payment options are easy to understand and use <br>Staff in the stores are friendly and helpful <br><p/>The bad: Does drop phone calls sometimes <br>Doesn't have signals in most basements or buliding with thick walls <br>slightly higher price than other carriers <p/>Summary: I have been with sprint for almost three years. Their buyback programs of the old phones and upgrade of phones are very nice. Customer service staff on the phone are mostly friendly and helpful, and the expected wait time to reach a staff on the phone is about 2 minutes or less. <br>I would recommend.
The good: good service most of the time<p/>The bad: the battery falls out<p/>Summary: whenever i would drop my phone the battery would always fall out. it was not like i dropped it too hard either. the service is okay except for my cabin where it is not too good
The good: Flip phone with one-touch dialing, voice-enabled dialing, speakerphone, caller id/call waiting and very durable.<p/>The bad: Difficult for text messaging and spot where recharger is plugged in is too small (makes it difficult to plug it in sometimes).<p/>Summary: I really like this basic phone. (Basic because it was free when signing up for service.) My favorite and most used feature has to be the one-touch dialing along with the speakerphone. It is very durable as it has been dropped several times and even taken into the swimming pool by my baby boy. I'm not a big text message user, but if I were, this phone would fail easily on that scale.
The good: Service is pretty good, it picksup some signal even in areas where other providers doesn't work<p/>The bad: None that I am aware<p/>Summary: It is actually a very good service. Dropped call rates are really very low. Haven't had any problems with the bill or service so far. It is really a good choice
The good: like the style, good features, good quality<p/>The bad: if you get the case for it, the black loop gets in the way when taking pictures<p/>Summary: overall I'm really happy with this phone. I upgraded from the LG 6000 and like this phone very much. The touch of blue color gives a nice touch. Holding the black leather case when you take a picture can get annoying but many people don't even use the case, so that's not really a phone issue.
The good: Mp3 support, bluetooth-support, looks fancy<p/>The bad: Tiny keys, speaker can be a bit distorted at times, no camera cover, poor battery life (battery completely drained after on standby for 2 days)<p/>Summary: I've had the W810i for a while now and off the bat, I would say that its looks combined with its long list of features makes it far more superior than anything currently available in U.S. cellular stores. I was lucky enough to get the Da Vinci code special edition version of this phone and I'm quite impressed with its 2.0 megapixel camera and clear screen. However, I wish that this camera came with a camera cover (similar to one that is available on the Sony Ericsson K750i) as the camera lens on the W810i tends to collect dust over time. The built-in Mp3 Walkman works well though the speaker is nothing to brag about. The keys are somewhat hard to get used to at first, especially if you're currently using a phone with average size keys (e.g. the Motorola RAZR). The buttons that are harder to push for me are in the center of the phone (it's a silver circle in the picture). If you can get past the high price of this phone (I paid $350 with no service attached) and don't mind occasionally pushing the wrong key, then you should definitely consider this phone. Reception-wise, I am able to get full bars within the city and about 1 bar in mountain areas (my friends who have the K750i usually have no network signal at all in mountain regions and currently use the same service that I have)
The good: Excellent battery life, ease of use and rugged exterior.<p/>The bad: Occasionally a button must be pressed more than once before it will function.<p/>Summary: This phone was purchased after I lost my Nokia and I'm very happy with my decision to get this instead of a flip phone. I'm a big guy and most flip phones are too dainty for my taste. I normally charge it once a week instead of every two days like my old Nokia.
The good: Great signal, Awesome speakerphone, easy to see LCD, <br>Speech recognition is very good, Bluetooth capable<br><p/>The bad: Camera Button is in odd place, Verizon has features locked down <p/>Summary: If you are looking for a phone that is not an mp3\video\texting\web machine but is solid for exactly what you need to do - make and take phone calls this is a perfect phone
The good: MP3 support, bluetooth, 2.0-megapixel camera, clear color screen, durable<p/>The bad: Poor reception, video quality only so-so, volume is not very loud compared to other similar Sony Ericsson phones<p/>Summary: If you can manage to find one in the US, the K750i has plenty of features and beats just about every camera available in the United States. However, reception is quite poor when compared to other similar phones (e.g. the Sony Ericcson W810i). I have Cingular service and more often than not, my calls will drop halfway through a conversation but this is only if I manage to get at least a couple bars of reception in the first place to make the call. Standing in the same spot but using the W810i instead, I am able to get at least 1 more bar of reception with hardly any dropped calls. As a tri-band phone however, this phone's reception excels (e.g. in Taiwan). Bottom line: If you're thinking about getting this phone for U.S.-based service, definitely try before you buy.
The good: Large Qwerty Keyboard<br>Bright Color Screen<p/>The bad: Bulky phone<p/>Summary: I became a fan of the Sidekick back when Danger released the black and white Sidekick I. When word got out that the Sidekick II came out I immediately got one. Overall the phone is great. However, although the Sidekick II is slimmer than the original, it still is rather bulky for a phone.
The good: All in all good service.<p/>The bad: Only number available for me in my area code is long distance to call.<p/>Summary: They need to get more towers and numbers so people in my area don't have to call a long distance number to contact me. i am keeping service for now as I transferred it from another state.
The good: Very simple<br>Great Phonebook<br>No external antenna<p/>The bad: Not enough options<br>Themes are bad<p/>Summary: This phone is a great cell phone for people who are looking for a simple, easy to use cell phone. You can use a great setup phonebook and call people. There is no outside antenna, so you don't have to worry about breaking it. It has great reception, too. Unfortunately, I would like to see many more options and features added, such as customizable themes, a camera, and things like that.
The good: Very nice design. No pesky antenna,very clear screen.<p/>The bad: PTT button is too touchy,and the cheapest cover is 15$<p/>Summary: By far the best phone on the market.Very few flaws,and great design.
The good: Modern style<p/>The bad: Heavy<p/>Summary: This phone has a very cool design and looks better than any other phones in the market. The picture quality is great and you can create your own ring tones using your mp3's.
The good: Coverage getting better. Seems like they've added a few more towers.<p/>The bad: Coverage is really bad in certain areas and sometimes will completely go out.<p/>Summary: Even with the free talk feature of Nextel, I'd prefer my Verizon for dependability of service and coverage.
The good: Nice shape and easy to use.<p/>The bad: Ring volume isn't very loud<p/>Summary: If I were to buy another phone I would make sure the volume is very loud and is easy to use. I would also choose a black colored phone, that has bluetooth capability.
The good: Light weight and very small phone. ideal for small pocket books, even fits in your small pocket in the front of you jeans<p/>The bad: only comes in black or silver<p/>Summary: Nextel 830 phone is small and compact. its a great little phone to have while traveling and for people who hate bulky big phones. the nextel 830 is slick in style and its tiny size doesnt mean it lacks in quality. recommend this phone to everyone
