The good: Bluetooth will transfer pictures to and from my computer, always just 10c per minute (including roaming), great coverage in my area<p/>The bad: No mp3 ringtones (if that bothers you) but other than that, none worth mentioning.<p/>Summary: I'm new to Net 10 so I went in "blind" as what to expect. I've been using Virgin Mobile for the past few years and was just getting tired of paying their high (per minute) rates. After using this LG600g few the past few months, I'll have to say that this phone along with this service (AT&T) is FANTASTIC.... Sometime the phone signals are a little spotty here in the mountains of east Tennessee but I have NEVER dropped a single call in my area (Tri-cities).<br>Also, I like that I am able to use my Bluetooth enabled LG600g to transfer picture to and from my computer without having to email them, saving me tons of money.<br>If you are in the market for a really great (basic) phone for not a lot of cash, you may want to check out this particular model. It has worked out well for me and my needs...<br><br>GOOD LUCK !!!
i think this phone is awesome cause it looks a lot like the sidekick and it comes in many colors.
The good: Cheap basic mobile service, NO lengthy, COSTLY contract with Excellent coverage.<p/>The bad: New sim card needed sometimes when transferring minutes<p/>Summary: Simple activation, easy to use phones. Can do it all online. No need for customer service. Do the activation at your leisure. It's very simple. You can activate a new phone or upgrade to a new phone at 3am if needed/wanted. Try that with AT&T, Alltel, Verizon, or any other high cost monthly service companies. Sure these wireless companies will GIVE you a discounted or free high-tech phone, but then they have you obligated to them for 2 or 3 years (24-36 months) at $50-100 per month. Want to cancel that contract? Sure can. Just shell out the cost of the phone for hundreds of dollars. <br><br>My phone costs me less than $10 a month with more minutes than I need. Did I mention NO CONTRACT??? I can discontinue using it anytime I want with no penalty. Just use up the already paid for minutes and put up or give the phone to someone else that needs a reliable mobile phone.<br><br>The Net10 phone service is the only way to go for personal use. Check out their website for purchasing new and refurbished phones. They are usually cheaper that purchasing from local stores. Sometimes bonus minute cards with purchases are available with certain model phones so your cost is way less than 10 cents per minute. A little wait, but delivery is usually fast.
The good: I live in a rural area. This phone does not have good reception. It breaks-up and the other party cannot hear you. I had to send the phone back to the company two times. I need a phone to talk to people, not for looks. <p/>The bad: It flips? <p/>Summary: I had a Nokia and I was able to receive a signal almost anywhere, even when other people could not. Not true with this phone. I have had the phone for 18 months and I cannot wait for my contract to end.
The good: The initial hype of the iPhone was great. I paid $499 for it because I didn't want to sign a new contract. I liked it. Only to find out six months later that the 3G was coming out.<p/>The bad: I didn't like the fact that you cannot forward text messages. You cannot send picture messages. You can't receive picture text messages. For all the hype over this phone, you should be able to comply with those basics.<p/>Summary: I went from the first generation and was swept into getting the 3G. I caved in and signed a new contract for $199, got the 8 gig. I had it for seven days only to find out none of the features of the phone changed or appeared to have changed to me, so I returned it. The network seemed worse to me. I dropped more calls. The net on the phone was not faster. I got rid of the phone. I still cant believe it doesn't forward text messages or send/receive picture text messages. Just disturbing especially when you have to pay more monthly fees just for having the iPhone. Altogether the phone is not worth it. Get an MP3 player separate and get a good phone. I also bought the FUZE, dont like it. Finally got a cheaper Quickfire, I love it!!!
The good: Very Good Service Quality, Excellent Value, Great Customer Service at Sprint Stores<p/>The bad: Customer service on the phone is terrible compared to the great service offered at Sprint's company stores (That may sound ridiculous but trust me, it's true!).<p/>Summary: Sprint has a great reliable network, my phone bill is reasonable and almost always the same every month (so I am very rarely shocked when it comes in the mail), and a wide range of service plans are offered that cater to people with various needs. Sprint is a great carrier for phone service and I do not understand some of the negative reviews I heard since I have had no problems with them and live in a rural area about an hour outside of St. Louis (where service conventionally wouldn't be expected to be good). Sprint is a great choice if you want the best overall combination of good phone service and value.
The good: *great battery life* good screen resolution, easy to hold<p/>The bad: ----<p/>Summary: I can text on this thing for 3-4 days without having to charge it. The screen is bright, the speakers are loud, it has a great inbox capacity, and has a full QWERTY board. However, the screen on the front is a bit small, and not left or right arrows exist on the front either. Overall, this phone is one I highly recommend, but it just comes down to what you want to do with your phone.
The good: Easily the best multimedia phone out right now, once you get used to the click screen(takes about a day or two) you can type just as fast if not faster than the iphone and bold. LOOKS GREAT. The battery life is fine it easily lasts the entire day.<p/>The bad: YEAH OS ISNT PERFECT but its only been out for a few months and YES the phone was probably released before it should have but just GIVE IT TIME it CAN AND WILL be one of the best phones once RIM gets the OS right.<p/>Summary: It is very easy to navigate through the phone and isnt very difficult to get used to. One thing ive learnt is that you cant SAY wether you like the phone or not in the first 5 MINUTES OF TRYING IT! You must have the phone for at least 2 days before making a decision. I wrote this whole review with my Storm in the matter of minutes.
The good: Feel, grip, inside screen specs. Phone is just 7 hours old.<p/>The bad: The top "click-latch" on the top of the phone's back battery cover.<br>Side"clicks" on this cover are difficult to engage.<p/>Summary: I bought 2 new phones today .. MOTOROLA TUNDRA and a SAMSUNG RUGBY. Motorola for me and Samsung for the wife. We are testing them now.<br><br>One small problem on both phones. Make sure back phone cover that cover battery area is securely "clicked" into place on both phones. The Motorola is more difficult than the Samsung. ....... At the AT&T store, we disengaged and dropped the back cover on the Motorola several times when we thought that it was locked. On both of these phones ... make sure that the "SIDES" of the back cover are "CLICKED" into place on "BOTH SIDES" of the back covers to keep their "dust free specs" and to keep from losing back covers.<br><br>I will post more as I used them. ......... signed...<br><br>SOS<br>.
The good: texting is easy; and fast. big, bright display, good features.<p/>The bad: keypad sometimes tends to not work, or misses the most important letters in a message. there is a very bad lag. sometimes the messaging goes out and I have to reset the phone.<p/>Summary: other than the cons I would recomend this phone to anyone! [=
The good: Getting the phone in July thought it was quite attractive and cutting edge being one of the first touch-screen phones. Easy to hear people once called, great service anywhere you go(especially in NYC), small compact design made it easy to carry. I was worried about scratching the touch-screen so I bought a screen protector skin and a snap on plastic case - made the phone a but bulkier but the phone was well protected - kept the screen from scratching.<p/>The bad: The touch screen is a disaster! I bought the original phone in July... took it back 3 times because the touch screen would stick, meaning I couldnt push anything. I would be trying to send a text message, hitting send numerous times with the keypad open, slide it shut, couldnt send it there, open it back up, finally could send it! Too much thinking and effort into sending a simple txt. The touch screen would also light up on its own and push buttons/change screens by itself.<p/>Summary: The phone is sexy and could be worth the money if all the "bugs" were worked out. As said, I bought the phone in July and almost immediately the problems began. I love the QWERTY keyboard because I txt more than I talk. However, it's difficult having a phone you cant manipulate because the touch screen is having so many issues. My advice, after having 3 different Glyde phones, all with brand new software installed, DONT GET IT. It will definitely cause more frustration than necessary.<br>(PS- when I brought the phone back yesterday to the store a gentleman who worked there asked me which phone I was having problems with, said the Glyde, and he grumbled something and told me to ask for a different brand new phone - got it, without any hassle... apparently people at VZW arent happy with the product either.)
The good: Touch screen works well, widgets are a little silly but easy to deal with<p/>The bad: phone book is a total pain, and messaging is weak.<p/>Summary: Ok, for a basic mobile phone this is not bad, sound quality is good and the features are cool, if not perfectly functional. BUT.. there are some basic things that I don't understand about this design which are causing me serious problems. 1) the search feature in the phone book is a pain. You should be able to type the letter somewhere to see the entries instead of dragging the slider. Maybe I'll get used to it if I don''t return it. and 2) Unless I'm mistaken, you can;t see the threads on the text messages. Only the most current mesage is displayed. Hello? can you say lame? I mean it's 2009 already, is it that difficult?
The good: Easy to use, great camera, good picture quality, screen brightness, fun to use<p/>The bad: bulky at times<p/>Summary: I read so many reviews before buying this phone, and I was scared because so many people complained about the battery life. I am glad I didn't let that defer me from buying the phone because I have had no problems with the battery life at all. I just charge it every night.<br>This is the first phone I have had with a keyboard. And have been able to get used to it very quickly. I usually think of myself as having large fingers, but have had no problems at all with the size of the keys. It has a slim design and does fit in a pocket very well, even small pockets. The screen is very big and clear. Overall I am in love with this phone.
The good: 1. Responsive touch screen<br>2. Full HTML browser built in<br>3. Gestures and Widgets<br>4. EASY to use<p/>The bad: Auto Keyguard... I turned it OFF in the phone settings menu<p/>Summary: This is a review of the U.S. Cellular Samsung Delve (as Alltel doesn't sell phones in my area). First, the TouchWIZ interface is much more responsive than nearly every other touch interface I've used, excluding iPhone. In fact, before trying this model, I borrowed two other touch phones and tried them out. The first one, an iPhone, was alright, but I didn't want to change cell carriers and couldn't have a touch screen by itself. The second one, an LG, just didn't fit my needs- I clearly needed a larger screen, better control placement and more reliable speech recognition. Then I heard about Delve, and went to the store this morning to try it. The Delve has the best of both touch phones I tried in the past- it's got the 2 MP camera, responsive touch screen and gestures of the iPhone while also having the physical controls of the LG and a speech recognition system neither of them can match. <br><br>Overall, the Delve makes a perfect addition to U.S. Cellular's lineup and I would definitely recommend the Delve to my friends and colleagues. <br>
The good: Very Fast, Easy To Use, Live TV and TV Shows, Great Music Player, Haptic Feedback, Comes with second battery, Cheaper than the iPhone, Good Internet,Great Nav, Just Simply a Great Phone. I Have had it for 2 weeks and i love it.<p/>The bad: Crashes sometimes, thats mostly it.<p/>Summary: i have had this phone for about two weeks now and i love it to death. I'm a apple fan but this phone totally kicks apple's iphone 3g in my opinion. I love the way it feels in my hand and its slick design. I highley think every single one of you should get the Instinct!!!!
The good: Excellent reception, the best we've ever had! We've had AT&T, Cingular, Sprint. None compare<p/>The bad: Nighttime minutes start at 9pm, Have to watch billing like a hawk!<p/>Summary: At first we had to pick our phone bill apart piece by piece. One month they charged us $250 more than they should have! Their reply, "Whoops!" Gotta keep on top of them. We switched from 700 min shared to 1400 shared, good call! We're switching when contract is up though. Can't call my Mom, Grandpa, etc. after 9pm, and those daytime minutes go quickly.
The good: really good quality screen<br>qwerty keyboard<br>2 megapixel cam.<br>really durable<br>the soft grip i luvv it<br>you can change the menu font<br>omg so many things <br>to write<br>yuh will envy yer frnds :)<p/>The bad: no flash<br>front screen tew small but no biggy<p/>Summary: i love this fone absolutly love it<br>im sure yerr gunna love it tew<br>i preffered the blakk color cus<br>everyone has it in maroon<br>its so durable n sturdy and the<br>pictures come out amazing!!
The good: GREAT TOUCH SCREEN,CLEAR VIDEO AND CAMERA,EASY KEYBOARD TXTING,GOOD MEMORY,FAST INTERNET,EASY TO FIT IN POCKET,VERY HARD TO SCRATCH THE SCREEN,<p/>The bad: HARD TO TXT WITH THE TOUCH KEYBOARD,ONLY 15 SEC VIDEOS WITHOUT A MEMORY CARD,<p/>Summary: This new phone is only one step below the I-Phone. If you do not want to get the I-Phone then the LG 830 is the perfect phone for you. This is actually a pretty strong phone and it would take a lot for you to scratch the screen also. I would strongly advise this phone.
The good: Small, light, stylish, good phone sound quality, video camera, business card scanner, pre-installed Opera browser and a excellent large screen!<p/>The bad: HORRIBLE Qwerty keyboard that is impossible to use in portrait mode and single digit possible in landscape mode. Stylus needs to have integrated storage instead of the lanyard. Non-responsive touch screen in certain modes. <p/>Summary: I had the Samsung Omnia i910 from Verizon for 30 days as a business test user. First reaction was that it was a very nice alternative to the Blackberry Storm and the Apple iPod. Clean and stylish looking, nice Samsung Widget or Today interface and some nice extra features like the 5.0 Mega-Pix camera and video camera with built-in flash, touch screen, and business card scanner. HOWEVER, the main purpose for most business users with a Windows Mobile Smartphone is the ability to keep connected with the office via your e-mail. I quickly found that I missed the physical Qwerty keyboard that I had with my Moto Q and Blackberry World Phone. The virtual touch screen Qwerty keyboard on the Omnia made typing simple e-mails and text messages a very slow and painful task. No point in trying to use the portrait mode keyboard (unless you use the stylus) and the landscape mode Qwerty keyboard is not designed for two-thumb typing. I found that you had to use either your index finger or my little pinky finger ONLY! (Or, use the stylus). <br><br>Other poor design ideas where the location of the "SEND" button/key on the Qwerty keyboard in relationship to the "SHIFT" button/key. Many times when composing a message I accidentally sent the message incomplete because I was trying to hit the shift key to cap a letter! UGH! <br><br>Also, you can tell they added the stylus to the design of this phone as an after-thought because of the quality of this touch screen Qwerty keyboard. Its apparent because they would have built an internal storage slot for the pencil-like stylus instead of the silly lanyard string loop cord.<br><br>Summary: If you are a power e-mail user, then I do not recomend the Samsung Omnia until they improve the design of the Qwerty keyboard. I would stick with the new Samsung Saga (review to come soon as I just got this in replacement to test from the Verizon business rep), the Blackberry devices, the Moto Q9c or the bigger slide-bar devices like the HTC Touch Pro.
