The good: Great look, touch and keyboard.<br>THeres a Multitasking key--Love it, very useful<br>Great, useful features<p/>The bad: -the keypads could be a bit better<br>-Dont like the games much<p/>Summary: I absolutely love this phone. Although Ive heard that the touch screen will start losing its quality after a couple of months but Im willing to stick w it because its cheaper and is cooler i think than the Impression. The home screen has really cool features: the favorites, and u can create easy access groups of the ppl u call the most, and theres options of apps u can add to the home screen such as calendar, music, alarm, and my favorite, a PostIt note where u can type reminders to have on ur home screen.<br>Like I said this phone is great for anyone who's not big on the super specs of a smart phone like the Impression.<br><br>plus the photo editor is incredible, like having a miniphotoshop on my phone :D
The good: the display is good.you get great service.service is probably best part about it.<p/>The bad: turns off on its own.deletes music,pictures...<br>basically anything saved to memory card.the battery life can be bad at times.<p/>Summary: i have had this phone for two years and i hate it. the phone always deletes everything on my phone. with wallpapers it always zooms in on it and the wallpaper doesnt show up the right size.the battery can mess up.it will turn off on its on right in the middle of anything. overall my advice is not to get this phone!!
The good: great signal in Chicago. Works indoors in many spots, unlike my AT&T and t-mobile phones. works in the subway via special arrangement. <p/>The bad: older phones<p/>Summary: Good signal around Chicago. Never had a problem roaming. Easy, helpful customer service. Decent prices. Reasonable rules. Easy month to month after contract term.
The good: easy to use,battery life,music player,bright,volume<p/>The bad: bulky,keys,placement of keys,camera<p/>Summary: I've had this phone for about 2 years and i guess i would reccomend it to somebody. I like the battery a lot!!! I text all day and talk a lot and it's still half full by the end of the day if it was fully charged. The battery charges very quick too. What I don't like about it is that you can't change the side lights permanently, just for certain contacts. The keys are very small and 2 of mine are cracked down the middle and could easily be peeled off. It is also kind of bulky, not heavy, just bulky. I also don't like that when I'm texting and i go to erase something, that it is very easy to accidently press the button that takes you to the internet; thats very frustrating. I do like the music player, even though i don't use it that much, but i still like it because it can hold full songs. The menu isn't hard to use at all; easy to manuever around. The phone's screen can be adjusted when it comes to brightness, so that's nice. The volume can get very loud so i usually keep it on 2 or 3 because thats loud enough for me and im 13. The last thing that i dont like about this phone is that the camera is only 2 megapixel, so you can't zoom very far. But all in all i had a good experience with this phone and it has been the best one out of 3 others that i have had.
The good: Great big inside screen, looks good and is easy to navigate.<p/>The bad: Text and calls often do not go or come through. Text typing options are minimal. Barely works in rural areas at all and tends to struggle even in town.<p/>Summary: I have had this phone for just over 2 years. Because the service is terrible I had to switch back to my old phone until it died. The phone is unreliable and does not hold a charge for very long. This is the worst phone I have experienced so far.
The good: Big screen from sprint, Great design ( the square boggles peoples mind ), the speakers are load, threaded messages are great! All of the bluetooth capabilities are amazing, and the camera is very good<p/>The bad: small outer screen, the outer screen is bad in direct sunlight<p/>Summary: I love this phone, in my mind it is the best non-smart phone sprint had for under 100 bucks! The phone is easy to use, the keyboard is great. The camera has great quality and it has ok video quality.
The good: Love the keyboard though it takes a little to get used to. Good camera including video for a phone. If you don't want the expense of a Blackberry, this is a great substitute.<p/>The bad: Wish the battery lasted a little longer but much better than past phones where they would lose power by just sitting there.<p/>Summary: I've only had my phone for a month. I have enjoyed it more than any of my past phones. The keyboard is really nice as long as you remember to spell correctly. The settings are easy to figure out though getting a PDF version of the manual would be more handy than the one provided. I had to renew a contract to get the phone at a reduced rate, but it was more than worth it. Didn't know at first, but AT&T offers a $50 gift card (same price as phone with contract) so I got the phone for free which makes it even better.
The good: Battery<p/>The bad: Small keyboard-trouble texting-breaks easily-Just about anything you can think of<p/>Summary: I've been using my friends phone for a week...I don't know how he lives with it!!!!! It's a waste of money, if you're on verizon get a glyde or a voyager as your texting phone.
The good: good screen<br>good for texting<br>sound quality <br>small and light and compact<p/>The bad: keys could be a tad bigger but still a good size<p/>Summary: this phone is GREAT for texting. i was going back and forth with this phone and the samsung impression. overall this phone is better!!! it is less money and smaller. it does all of the things the impression does. i recommend this phone to anyone who texts ALL DAY LONG!! (great features like this music player and the texting)
The good: Lightweight, good call quality, VERY loud speaker and speakerphone. Compact and small enough to put in shirt pocket.<p/>The bad: Seems to be cheaply made, cant change the colors on the front screen, attracts finger prints easily, screen is a bit small but some people could adjust to that. Good with texting. Long battery life.<p/>Summary: I have had my AX155 for a day and a half and so far im liking it. Its a bit small but I like small phones. It has a long battery life unlike the Samsung MyShot I had. It's good with texting and im an avid texter so I need features like that. <br>The screen is a bit small but that doesnt bother me. The phone itself is fast whether you're sending a text message or downloading something from the internet. The ringtones are a bit "cheesy" if ya know what I mean. Overall I would reccomend this phone to anyone because its nice and it actually works!
The good: really nice style, battery life is better than expected, came with free movies.<p/>The bad: price<p/>Summary: bought this phone about 4 days ago, and am still over the moon with it. touch screen doesnt respond sometimes, but its still better than most touch screens out there, and is for metro.
The good: Great touch screen phone. love the touch wiz, best phone metro has ever had. <p/>The bad: a little on the expensive side, but well worth the price<p/>Summary: I've had the phone for about two weeks, and have yet to find any major flaws.
The good: Easy to use buttons<p/>The bad: Back of battery get's hot and Etc..<p/>Summary: I had got the Blackberry Storm the first day that it hit the market, I was very excited from all the commercials they shown on TV,But when recieving it I was very dissapointed. First issue, It had froze like a TV screen and got a snow picture and kept coming back up so I took it back cause they couldn't fix it, So one to my second storm,then everytime I text or went to an application I got a red line across my screen and I tried to change settings on it just made it worse, So took it back on to my third storm. Everytime I went to my internet my camera came up in a small part of the screen so you had to take the battery out and put it back in and then an hour later it did it again, So I took it back at this point I was mad and didn't want it no more but I couldn't exchange some reason they wouldn't let me so I said fine I will take it one more time and if it messes up again and you won't replace it I will drop Verizon so I got it took it home and then was told to do the update so I did the update and it worked fine for like a week then it would start loading stuff and have a time clock looking thing and the screen would turn white and then the battery would get hot in the back hot enough you could barely touch it,So I said thats it I took it to the store and said I want a different phone you don't switch it I will drop Verizon I was still in my 30 days so they did. Then I waited for the new updated version to come out and It did I have had the new storm for a week now I love it only problem is the battery still gets hot in the back when you charge it and you recieve text messages emails etc over night.
The good: 250 Ringtones can be stored, u can make your own themes, awesome 2 chat through AIM MSN & YAHOO at the same time, Built in MySpace, Facebook, & Twitter all FREE. 3G network super fast browsing, You Tube streaming very clear! 3.2 MPX on the cam w/video. store 2000+ numbers on address book, convenient calendar, to do list, notes, pics and video messages with audio card, and easiest texting keyboard, cool design. Big screen. Excellent reception. Able to share music through bluetooth, able to hav u<p/>The bad: Doesn't swivel easily like previous sidKicks. By far the hardest swivel ever. can't select from a list to mass text like in SK 3. They removed the mood lights ( like the SK LX 2008 now has,) sound on the MP3 player is still low. Unable to set mp3 as ringtones. <p/>Summary: I got to play w/the NEW Sidekick LX 2009 which is 2 B released now on 05/13/09 The phone is amazing and a great update for the previous Sidekicks but its sad to see the mood lights taken away from every corner that was my fav thing from the prev version which i currently own. They still haven't improved the ability to message many ppl at once by picking from a list, but aside from that the phone is amazing all around if you don't own a phone and you're under 30 this is a greatttt phone to have! super fun! If u love texting this is the BEST phone to text on super comfortable. If you currently own a SK LX 2008 and you don't care 4 better cam/video, You tube, and faster browsing the LX will be as nice. The cost for a Sidekick every month is $35.00 which includes unlimited email, unlimited web browsing, unlimited messaging and plus the cost of whatever minute plan you pick plus the $6 insurance . Happy shopping! =)
The good: beautiful phone, slides nice, the volume is loud enough, the screen didn't scratch(i have dropped my phone liek a million times), easy to work with<p/>The bad: keyboard does scratch pretty easily, it can be a little difficult at first if u don't have nails.<p/>Summary: i really liked this phone. it was easy to use, my friends didn't quiet like it cuz they have the full keyboard, but otherwise, very nice. u have to keep the caamera steady, but it comes out pretty nice.its a little difficult to go through ur contacts, but after a while u get used to it all. the battery does dye after one day if u txt teh WHOLE day. mine hasn't died yet cuz i charge it everynite. overall i would recomend this phone. very fun to use.
The good: the phone has different shortcuts u can change on some phones u cant change them<p/>The bad: the speaker is deffinatly an issue it doesnt get vary loud and you can bareley understand wat the person is saying<p/>Summary: ive had this phone for 4 months now and its worked pretty good for me.But if you listen to music for like 5 minutes u waste half ur battery. Another bad thing is that the touch screen on the front doesnt work when ever you touch it the front screen must be lit that should be fixed.
The good: Responsive screen, tons of features like mp3, tv, e-mail...<p/>The bad: NO SPEED DIAL FUNCTION!<p/>Summary: All in all I really like this phone. I hope it's as durable as the sales lady said it is...I keep a phone for the duration of the contract. I'm disappointed about the speed dialing but LOVE the camera! I'm a photographer and it's handy to have in my pocket.
The good: responsive screen ,great camera,good battery life,good speakers<p/>The bad: screen to sensative when scrolling through contacts,,email needs a stylus pen,you have to scroll on the side to check all your messages,getting to your email is slow.<p/>Summary: other that great phone i would recommend this phone to anyone.
The good: I personally like the Haptic feedback.<br>Build Quality.<br>Internet.<br>3G<br>Programmability.<br>Easy to use.<p/>The bad: None so far. <br>I have a 10 megapixel Camera, and that takes slow pics.<br>That's why the Camera is slow, cause it's powerful.<p/>Summary: I have to say. I jumped into the hot water to get this phone. I wasn't sure what I was getting into. I previously owned a BlackBerry Curve, which was becoming a complete pain in the a$$! The Curve is Flimsier than a BB Pearl, about the only thing on a Curve better; hardware wise, was the battery cover (Still a pain in the ass to remove). Wi Fi caused my calls to drop often, E Mail sucked, and most importantly is that the software upgrades are poorly tested for QC, so they brick your phone.<br><br>One of the first things I noticed when I got this phone, was how well built it was.<br>The battery door is solid, doesn't feel weak, like on my previous BlackBerry phones. The SIM card slot and Flash card slot, are also better. I don't hot swap so its not an issue. On a BB these are cheaply made, and the SD card slot actually broke on one of mine easily.<br>The internet on this phone is faster than EVEN WiFi! Seriously!<br>I like that it was easy to get to the things I needed. Instead of navigating through a lot of menus to get where I need to go.<br><br>I go to my yahoo e mail through the internet. and thats fine. It's fast, and it gets the job done.<br><br>The music is LOUD! I own a Record Company, and I need a decent media player to show my music to people.<br><br>Look if you learn a lil patience, and how to program a lil bit, you can do a lot with this phone.<br><br>BTW I dropped my phone, and it was fine, just a couple scratches on the camera.<br>I freaked out at first; but it's made mostly of metal, so it was good.<br><br>Look. BlackBerries, are nice; but after a while you will get endless amounts of E Mails, your calls will drop often while connected to Wi Fi. The sides would push in when I held my Curve one handed, and I'm talking about the housing, and not any buttons. I was afraid to drop my BB Curve. seriously<br><br>This is a review from a former BlackBerry "Power User"<br>I'm just trying to help other people out before they jump, and get a BlackBerry over this phone.<br><br>So far...I LOVE IT! <br><br>Mine is the Espresso one BTW
The good: Good service, competitive rates, decent phones.<p/>The bad: "Charge card" rebates. Doesn't have free or $1 phones anymore. Not sure how the Verizon buy-out will impact them.<p/>Summary: I've never had any problems with Alltel. Back when I first looked for a cellular provider they were the only company to offer family plans with decent rates. I've never had a problem with getting rebates and I've gotten several. All of the people I've dealt with were nice and helpful. They even bent the rules to get me warranty coverage on a phone and on another occasion to get me into a plan that better fit my needs. I was disappointed when the last rebates I got came in the form of charge cards, which meant I had to spend the money. The cards can be a hassle too.
