The good: The large display is great, especially for user's with impaired vision. The phone vibrates when you touch a key, very helpful for those of us who are new to the touchscreen generation. The screen is very responsive, and battery life is pretty good for a phone with so many features.<p/>The bad: The occassional typo, LG has done its best to cram a full keyboard into a 3 inch display, and that creates a few errors.<br>TV service isnt available everywhere. The interface is simple, but it can still take some getting used to - kind of tricky.<p/>Summary: The LG Vu is truly an amazing phone, if I had to compare it to any other phone I'd have to say it's sort of similar to Verizon's LG enV2. The touchscreen is pretty responsive and when you touch a key the phone vibrates slightly to let you know that it got the command. Some people have complained about texting through a touchscreen keyboard, and there complaints aren't purely hollow but as with any qwerty keyboard, typos are always possible. Battery life is suprisingly long - I mean you have a touchscreen, a huge display for it to light up, TV, texting, phone calls, that could seriously drain a lot of phones in a flash, but the LG Vu does a pretty good job holding up and a nightly charge is enough to keep you going like the Engergizer bunny. As far as appearances go this phone is definately a hot topic right now - it's slim, and it's chic. Durability? You know it! This phone can definately take a tumble, I've dropped mine 3 or 4 times getting out of my car, 3 out of the 4 times it landed on the touchscreen - still fully responsive.<br>I would recommend this phone to anyone who appreciates a touchscreen, and wants to be able to write messages quickly, but not carry around the bulk of an actual QWERTY phone.
The good: Love the sliding. I never thought I'd actually like the QWERTY keyboard but I use it more than the number pad. I like having that option to use either the # pad or keys. The glossiness of the phone rocks too :D<p/>The bad: The buttons next to the toggle button are kind of small<p/>Summary: I really like this phone. I think its a nice phone. I got it Christmas eve (yestereday) and have been non-stop using it since. I enjoy it greatly. Easy to switch over from any other phone. I found it easy to use.
The good: Camera, sound, ease of use, more features than most smart phones but you don't have to sign up for a smart phone pac contract<p/>The bad: size is a bit odd so handling it takes some getting used to<p/>Summary: first phone locked up in 24 hours and was replaced by alltel (who couldn't get it to unfreeze)...replacement phone working great so far (about 10 days as of writing this review)
The good: Small, unobtrusive, fairly easy setup, very good battery life, good reception<p/>The bad: Limited features<p/>Summary: I've been using this phone for almost three years and have no complaints. Very few dropped calls; only when other party is traveling. Fairly easy setup; except the manual is probably written by a Chinese or Korean person. I've had great luck with the battery in standby mode; lasts 3-5 days depending on usage. Fully recharges in an hour usually. Very sturdy; durable. Great basic cell phone. I would recommend it but it's probably out-of-date.
The good: great phone<br>good call quality<br>long lasting(Durable)<br>external display is good<p/>The bad: battery life sucks<br>camara could be better<br>it is really slow<br><p/>Summary: I've had this phone for two years, and its been with me through a lot. I've dropped it in the pool. I'm surprised its still alive. anyway at the begining this phone was awesome, but then as time went by it got slower, and slower. I don't know if it is the network but I get dropped calls all the time. And the battery life is really bad know. I guess this phone was good in its glory days!
The good: Not many. I mean, the phone never lagged on me at all. It has a great speaker. The 3.5 mm headphone jack is AMAZING! Not many phones have that feature.<p/>The bad: I've had to replace it...twice. The first time, the "Clear" button just quit working on me. It may have been because I got a little bit of sweat on the phone but it was screwing up even before that. There are just too many internal problems. The T9 is also HORRIBLE!!!<p/>Summary: Like I said the pros are VERY good features. However, I have experienced MANY internal problems with this phone. And not only ONE of them, but BOTH, for I have had to replace it under the warrenty. And now I have to replace it AGAIN out of warrenty. First off, the T9 just flat out sucks. It CLAIMS to have "Word Learn" but the phone only memorizes certain things for about 5 minutes and then it loses them. Some of my security features stopped working, also. My contacts are SUPPOSED to be locked. But even though it says they ARE locked, I can just go right to them, w/o putting in my password. And then my screen turned completely white for about 5 hours. It had turned white before, but for only about 10 minutes. So it's time to chunk this thing and get a new one. It's not worth the worry.
The good: Great sound quality, takes good pics and videos, videos look amazing on the screen,Web Browser, big bright screen<p/>The bad: Laggy, hard to text fast, battery life is short<p/>Summary: This phone overall is a great phone for multimedia services, sound comes out loud and clear, videos look amazing, and camera is very nice. If you're not a big texter but you like browsing the web and listening to music and taking pics this phone is definitely for you, if you text a lot i do not reccomend it.
The good: Sleek design, dual sluding keypads, pocketable.<p/>The bad: Extremely thick.<p/>Summary: I really love this phone! It looks very nice, and the keypads feel nice, although it would be nice if it was a smartphone, but I realize it is a messaging phone, so it is nice for what you pay for. I personally would give it a 4.5 out of 5. Thanks Noah, the unboxing was great, and gave me a clue for what to look for when or if I get it. I can't wait to get it, and Phone Dog has been a lot of help.
The good: good looking,<br>brilliant display,<br>touchscreen <p/>The bad: camera and video capture is a bit slow<p/>Summary: Ive had it for about a week and ive had no problems with it. the video playback is amazing and the same goes for the picture quality.
The good: Everything! Good prices, My Circle, Customer Service.<p/>The bad: Cambridge, Ohio store. :(<p/>Summary: I absolutely LOVE Alltel. I ALWAYS have service. Hardly ever drop a call, and if I do, they credit my bill back. Customer Service is great, and from the U.S.!! I can understand them and they are willing to do ANYTHING to help! I can change my plan ANYTIME without extending my contract! THATS AMAZING! I have been to several stores and they are so GREAT! Even an agent I always go to. I think its Russell Cellular in Heath, Ohio. They are the largest agent in the U.S. so they are almost like corp. They have all the new phones at reasonable prices and sometimes have older phones where you MAKE money after the rebate!!! SO COOL!!!!
The good: Great Phone<br>Luv the P.T.T<p/>The bad: None<p/>Summary: This Phone was Free just like all the rest of my Phones I can say that this is The Best Phone Ive had from Sprint/Nextel I use The P.T.T everyday & Luv the Fact That Im the only Person That can do so as of yet Because I Know hiw to get Sprint to do there Job & make Things work when the not "supposed" to be Launched in your area any ways The Phone is Very Kool & its Great to watch my showa at anytime well enough about the Phone i jus say go out & get 1 also get the Extened Battery so that you can watch all your shows that u Like
The good: This phone has a awesome screen. The camera is so so, a lot beter then other phones<p/>The bad: I have had two Motorola Razr phones in one year and both of my phones had the same prolem, they stop charging! Not only have I had this problem but three of my friends as well. I have one right now and I have to have the charger cord on a serten angel for it to charge. <p/>Summary: Other then the charging problem this is a really good phone. I really enjoy this phone but what good is a cell phone if you cant use it.
The good: -Easy simple interface<br>-Great QWERTY keyboard and regular keypad<p/>The bad: -battery life is horrible!<br>-the fade in incoming call ringer that cant be changed<br>-No usb port to connect to computer<p/>Summary: Its an alright phone. Im not too impressed. The only thigns i can really complain about is the battery and the absence of a usb port to connect to the computer. The battery life is really bad. Nowhere close to the 12 days they claim. 12 hours is more like it (if you're lucky)
The good: On paper the phone looks kickin'<p/>The bad: On my forth phone - see below.<p/>Summary: The XV6900 is the WORST PHONE EVER. I am so disappointed with HTC and Microsoft for allowing such a crappy product into their line. I am a dedicated windows programmer and have owned pocket pc?s since windows CE so I have a history and an in depth understanding of windows phones.<br><br>I have had three phones and am currently being shipped my forth (Verizon won?t swap phone for something else). <br><br>1st phone cracked two times on the case. Camera software was all screwed up and would erase pictures and corrupt existing pictures on phone.<br><br>2nd phone wouldn?t open email at all ?even after hard reset. Main speaker was blown. Half of incoming calls would go directly to missed calls because the phone wouldn?t ring.<br><br>3rd phone is currently having a crazy software/ hardware glitches where I am getting debug screens popping up every couple minutes. D Pad doesn?t work. Incoming calls seldom ring, Phone freezes multiple times per day, battery life is less than 8 hours with just email checking and a couple voice calls. Case is also cracking.<br><br>I have finally lost faith with HTC and, to a larger degree, Microsoft. What a joke this phone is ? what a horrible horrible joke.<br>
The good: The large touch screen is very nice and I like all the things this phone has to offer. The camera and video is nice and gives you quality pictures. I also like the options that this phone gives you such as the option to change your background, display, font, ect. And the slide out keyboard is nice as well.<p/>The bad: Sometimes it can get tough to text on the touch screen, but that's what the slide out keyboard is for.<p/>Summary: I do suggest that you get this phone if you want a nice touch screen phone that will attract peoples attention and make you look like a "big shot" (as Noah stated). It's nice and modern and will last you a while and I also think you won't get bored with this phone because of all it can offer. And since it offers stuff like stereo bluetooth, a music player, videos, and the ability to streem videos, I don't know what more you could ask for. This is a great phone!
I've used Tracfone for 3 years...right now i have the Motorola w376g which is a good phone...comes with double minutes....so if you buy the 450 minute card for 79.99 (which is 900 because of double minutes) which is less than 10 cents a minute!! I almost always get bars...usually 5! 411 service for no additional fee (just regular minutes) good battery life ... i like the customer service... the only problem is that it is hard to understand them ... besides that there is really good customer service... now i just submit my question on their website and they send me an email with the answer...which takes about an hour... you can add minutes right from the menu ... only takes about 30 seconds for me to get the minutes added... no complaints so far
The good: Durable, loud, clear, efficiant. <p/>The bad: Camera is only 1.3 mega pixels. could be at leat 2mp i think.<p/>Summary: I've had this phone for about 2 weeks now, and I saw reviews and testing on youtube videos. I too put mine in water, froze it, dropped it from about 30 feet, etc... you name it. I had to make sure that it could live up to my expectations. Now ive been reading that other people say that the speaker sounds like a tin can. mine sounds loud and clear, somtimes a little muffeled after ive pulled it out of water or unfroze it,due to a water bead on the speaker, but if you blow on it, it clears right up. msic player sounds great too. i take mine in the shower everyday. even send my girlfriend some umm....naughty pics/vids from in the shower ;) All in all i love this phone, because im a klutz so i need it!!!
The good: Price tag, makes people think you are "happening" guy around!!<p/>The bad: Too bulky. too slow,lousy sound (speaker), ordinary battery life..camera swich God Help with it!<p/>Summary: Please opt for any other model of Nokia, they are undoubtedly the best in th business, but E90 is a disaster..
The good: Really responsive touchscreen, good internet browser, easy texting, slim phone...there is way more awesome things about this phone..but im writing a review from my phone soo yeah, its hard..haha.<p/>The bad: little "water" looking dots under my phone..Its underneath the screen and really hard too see unless you put it underlight..had the phone for just 8 hours but maybe it will dry out?<p/>Summary: u cannot compare to the iphones app's but the phone functionality is just too awesome! my bro has a iphone and i compared the 2 touchscreens...the samsung one is waay more responsive..very good phone..plus you dont hafta get the media plan!!And if you do its 15 dollars less!
The good: Least expensive phone is a great little device<br>Simplistic as can be<br>No hassle<br>No contract<br>No hidden fees<br><br><p/>The bad: short of mailing it in; payments have a charge between 2 and 4 dollars. Essentially they charge you to pay your bill<p/>Summary: I am a stay at home mom who travels mostly within 40 miles of my home. I have a busy lifestyle, but I don't need a big Ol' complicated "smart phone" The little white samsung does the job very well, it's very easy to hear and isn't so digital sounding. The key lock feature is super easy, but rarely neccesary since the keys are flush with the face of the phone so it doesn't constantly dial 222. Which is good for a small non-flip phone. I've never had a service or phone I was happy with until now.
