The good: full qwerty keyboard; usb mass storage makes it easier to add and remove mp3s (on your computer); bold styling; cameras has plenty of options; mp3 player sounds great; sleek and smooth shape; tough as nails; comes with free headset!<p/>The bad: shuts if you have too much going on; supports limited sound file types and only mp3 for the music player; plastic can get a little greasy real easily; not a smart phone (like most dummie call it); could use more themes for the user interface.<p/>Summary: i've had this phone for about for about half a year and i haven't has any major beef with it. texting is a breeze and very fun. the mp3 played does getting interupted when you get a text, and theres no background mode option whats-so-ever but thats no big deal. i've dropped it plenty of times, on tile and the street, and it hasn't caused any serious damage. battery life is mild depending if you use it a little or a lot. overall i love this phone and i'd recommend it souly for the hard core texters.
The good: responsive touch screen 2mp cam full html browser mobile tv service<p/>The bad: the mobile tv service might not be available depending on your location<p/>Summary: great phone easy to use has very good sound quality the tv service is pretty decent only few channels though but sure flo will add more soon
The good: Sturdy, basic, easy to use, has a camera, battery life is incredible!<p/>The bad: no video camera, way to small, sometimes hard to text on<p/>Summary: Overall this phone is ok. It's extremely low-tech and is very easy to use. One feature that I did like was the camera, it was pretty ok... One major problem is that it doesn't take videos. Also, it's really really small. Depending on what you want it for this can be good or bad. If your like me, who loves to text, its terrible. But if your just getting one to use every now and then to use calls and text a little bit its great. Very easy to understand.
The good: 50/month Unlimited Everything (phone, text, data, internet). Great Reception. <p/>The bad: Internet service on lower end phones could use some upgrading, but cannot expect top notch for what you paid. It is usable and what you would expect from a low end phone. try getting all these features for the same price from your carrier....I did not think so. SO STOP WHINING....and be realistic! <p/>Summary: If you want a phone with all the bells and whistles, and want to pay a lot...then please go elsewhere and whine!!! If you want quality service, great price, a decent phone then join the club.
The good: The overall design of the phone is great. The fact that you can check your email and even add an account to your email list if it is not one of the ones provided. The internet via Opera Mini is much faster than you would expect. The duel sliding motion of the phone makes the phone very easy to use. I also enjoy the scrolling option on the center button. It is so much easier to navigate through the different options and the web. <p/>The bad: The life of the battery gets drained if you surf the internet, so be sure to bring your charger with you. Since this is a new phone there are no plastic cases for protection. Also the phone is a little heavy. It does take some time to get used to.<p/>Summary: I've been a Helio customer now for almost two years. When I first signed up with Helio, I had the gold version of the Heat. Great phone but I was really waiting to upgrade to the Ocean. When I called customer service to upgrade to the Ocean after my first year of service, I was told if I held off for a couple of months I would get a great deal on the new Ocean 2. I then waited until the week of the Ocean 2 to debut and to my delight Helio (Virgin Mobile) rewared me with the new Ocean 2 for FREE. Of course the catch was that I had to pay for sales tax and shipping, but I gladly obliged. <br><br><br>After about almost a month, I am impressed with this phone and its capabilities. Myself and my two other roommates have the Ocean (they have the Ocean 1 and I'm the only one with the Ocean 2) and we're the talk of the town. I couldn'thave asked for a better phone. I only wish it came in other colors, but I'm not complaining about the sleek red color and design. I am anxiously awaiting someone to come out with a screen protector and plastic case for the phone. Since it is slightly longer and wider than the Ocean 1 the cases available for the Ocean won't work with the Ocean 2. <br><br><br>My only complaint is the battery life of the phone. However you can't expect to have everlasting battery life when you can call someone, email, text, make a posting on Facebook, view a Microsoft Word document in fileviewer and play guitar hero all on the same phone.
The good: Qwerty, clear internal display, cool features, great speakers, cool form factor, great voice quality, small, great camera, great texting, amazing!<p/>The bad: limited functionality on external display, small external screen gives calculator-like look, no flash on camera, no v-cast tv but not needed,<p/>Summary: This phone is awesome! I love the keyboard and there's so many cool features. It's really durable and has a great battery life. I do wish that the front screen was bigger and had more functionality but I can live with it.
The good: Easy to use. Nice sized touch screen. Non collapsible stylus. Tilt feature is pretty cool. Nice sized qwerty buttons.<p/>The bad: Buttons are too flat. Touch screen is laggy. Battery life is too short. Camera SUCKS.<p/>Summary: I got this phone as a hand me down and it still works great! It does have it faults but I can work with that. I love that it is easy to text on. The Camera could definitely be better and have flash. Overall I am satisfied with this phone
The good: Spacious Keyboard, Great Camera, Loud Vibrate, Clear Voice Calls<p/>The bad: Outside screen, 2 way directional outside pad, No Flash.<p/>Summary: I personally love this phone, It's my first QWERTY phone, but I am in love with it. I wish the outside screen would have been made a little bigger and was able to be customized more, but otherwise I love it.
The good: I loved how i was able to drop it a bunch of times without breaking, and that the pictures for a junky little phone was relatively good.<p/>The bad: If the screen breaks, you're out a phone. No replacements.<p/>Summary: I really liked this phone. I wasn't into trying to get a slim little thing to be able to fall, and scratch in a second. But unfortunately, this phone was discontinued, and I truly wish I could replace mine with the same one.
The good: Roomy QWERTY keyboard<br><br>1.3 MP camera with photo frames<br><br>Nice color<br><br>Dedicated messaging button<br><br>Raised number buttons<p/>The bad: Not the greatest battery life<br><br>Your own pictures do not fill up screen for wallpaper<br><br>Bulky<br><br>Very basic menu<br><br>Entry level phone<p/>Summary: Overall, the Samsung Gravity T459 is a pretty good phone. The keyboard fells very sturdy and is very roomy as compared to the Samsung Rant. The color combinations are nice ubt it is still a very basic phone. With T-Mobilenot many phones with a full QWERTY keyboard that are reasonably priced. When it comes to setting your own pictures as your wallpaper, the rotating screen makes it almost impossible to cover the entire screen which is kind pf a disappointment. Overall I think that this is a pretty good phone.
The good: looks nicer, shiny, dual sliding, and easy to use.<p/>The bad: the delay of time when you are switching from texting to normal screen.<p/>Summary: Its an overall nice phone. i want to get it actually. i think its an improved version of the matrix and pro.
The good: Android! And a keyboard + trackball!<p/>The bad: Silly shape & sliding design, wonky USB port.<p/>Summary: ANDROID! This is everything good about the iPhone, on a decent handset! Coming from the iPhone to the G1's physical keyboard, I make practically no mistakes while typing. Thanks to the trackball, I don't really need to zoom in on web pages anymore, and for any complaints about it's native browser, you have options! I have personally tried Browser, Opera, and Steel, with Steel being my personal favorite. Flash is compatible and in the works, more than can be said for the iPhone. The apps, while not as numerous, are pretty amazing, with access to more hardware functions than any other phone out yet, making them MUCH more useful.<br>The only things that bothers me is that the screen, when extended, doesn't hold itself in a straight line, parallel to the top row of keys. With my Libra Moon, I like my lines to have angularity! Like everyone, I also don't understand why there isn't a standard headphone jack, even if it had to be next to the proprietary ExtUSB one. Hopefully other Android phones will utilize other sliding mechanisms (like on the TouchPro2!) and port designs in the future!
The good: -touchscreen<br>-keyboard<br>-speakerphone<p/>The bad: -battery life!<br><br><p/>Summary: I love my LG Voyager!<br>I love all the features!<br>The touchscreen is amazing!<br>The keyboard is big so its great for texting!<br>The speakerphone is great<br>I use it all the time!<br>One thing I hate about it is the BATTERY LIFE!!!<br>Overall I think everyone should get this phone!
The good: Nice camera. Very user friendly. Easy customization. Great look and durable. Texting is great after you get used to it.<p/>The bad: The web is very hard to navigate around.<p/>Summary: Over all I think this phone is solid. There's abundh of cool features on this phone like you can handwrite your texts. And you can take videos at 1200 frames per second and can play of back in slow mo. The camera is 3.2 mega pixels. Also the phone feels great. It's not as long as the instinct and not as fat as the voyager. Great phone I recomend it.
The good: great price<br>nice phones<br>good service<br>unlimited calling/text<br>good in store customer service<br><p/>The bad: need less foreign customer service, there hard to understand.<br>insurance not so great<p/>Summary: Cricket is great for people on a budget. It is the best unlimited phone service out there, especially compared to some (Boost Mobile). Love there service and willingness to try to solve your problems. Easily contactable and low monthly bills. You don't have to keep track of minutes, and phone service is pretty good almost anywhere. Phones are a little pricey but you get what you pay for, so the phones are very durable. My 15 yr. old has dropped hers a thousand times and even after 2 years it is still ticking. Great service and Great phones, i would deffinately suggest this service to anyone.
The good: Easy to use, great keyboard, extremely sturday<p/>The bad: So so video quaility, weak camera, no wap downloads<p/>Summary: This is honestly the best phone i've ever owned. I bought it based on the form and for the qwerty keyboard, but it's exceeded my expectations. It has a good wireless browser, and easy to use functions. Also i love that its built kinda tough. I've dropped mine down the stairs of my house without a scratch to be found, and after accidentally pouring coffee all over it, it still works like the day i bought it.
The good: price of phones & plans are very reasonable also my circle saves mins. used.<p/>The bad: 2yr phone contract....like all the others.<p/>Summary: Nice to be able to change plans when needed, but your locked in on your phone for the contract, would be nice if they would prorate your contract, maybe after the Verizon merger things may change.
The good: Easy to hold, you dont have to open it to talk, which is good. Features easy to use except for texting.<p/>The bad: Keypad keys are too small and crowded together, easy to misdial numbers. You have to use multiple areas of keypad to compose texts (keypad, center scroll bar, left right select / back keys), makes for quick, short, texting long and frustrating. T-9 feature cant be turned off. Downloading pics, wallpapers can be challenging.<p/>Summary: Overall a good phone, not for people who frequently text.
The good: Great service ~ Unlimited talk time and text including unlimited long distance for $5/month and Unlimited Wireless modem for $35/month.<br>GREAT RATES FOR SERVICES!!!!<p/>The bad: Price of cell phones<p/>Summary: I'm really satisfied with Cricket after using other major providers.<br>Cricket is definitely the best value!!
The good: Great TV Service, easy to use, good for beginners.<p/>The bad: Breaks vary easily, cheaply made! No GPS, Limited amount of Applications. <p/>Summary: I've owned 2 touch screen phones, if you plan to buy a phone on a 2 year contract, consider a touch screen with more applications.
