The good: Very user friendly, inexpensive, great quality.<p/>The bad: Battery is the worst on any phone I've ever had!!<p/>Summary: Except for the really crummy battery, I love the phone so far. While not quite a smart phone, it is able to do a lot, especially for the price. It is extremely user friendly, and has a lot of features.
The good: Most everything.<p/>The bad: Never have the latest phones or much of a selection. :(<p/>Summary: Had US Cellular for around 10 years, never had a dropped call and travel around the US quite a bit too w/o any issues. Plans are decent pricing.
The good: Its purple.That is the ONLY pro.<p/>The bad: Dropped/missed calls.Missed texts.Nobody can stand talking to me because it makes a crinkle sound on there end.Sometimes,for no reason the person I am speaking with can not hear me.<p/>Summary: I already had one problem with the zte c78 that turned out to be a factory defect.I got it "replaced".Turns out they only replaced some of the inside.Not the speaker part.Now that doesn't work sometimes.Its so upsetting to be on the phone and have your friend not be able to hear you unless you smack the phone against your hand.Texting is a full on nightmare because I don't reiceve at least 1/3 of them.Same for the sendout ones.This phone sucks and I am going to have to buy a new one after spending $129.00 on it just 1 month ago.I could go on and on about this crummy phone.....
The good: brilliant display-opera mini!!-good call quality-tons of customization.<p/>The bad: fingerprint magnet -what's up with the headphones?(only one earbud).some dropped calls.<p/>Summary: to sum it up, I'm enjoying this phone. the camera and video quality is very good,and once I downloaded opera mini, the image quality was excellent when web browsing. (you can adjust image quality etc)I'm really spoiled by this phone.I just. wish it included a "normal " set of headphones, so I'm using my nokia 5310 for my music instead. if that's not an issue i would recommend this !!
The good: some menus are customizable.<p/>The bad: menu navigation is not easy. it takes too many clicks to get to some functions. <p/>Summary: Texting is not easy. Predictive text does not help, and frequently turns itself off.
The good: I love it's smooth and glamourous feel and look. It Has sprint one-click, which i'm in love with right now. The texting quality of the phone is amazing. I love every bit of it. I like the internet browser too. I LOVE how you can customize your carousel. All the important stuff in the one-click. And you can add your shortcuts too. The sprint navigation feature is cool too. At first I though the battery life sucked, but I found out you've got to decharge your phone all the way, and then charge it.<p/>The bad: Okay, I have like only two about this.<br><br>The internet browser is okay, but it doesn't give you a full browser experience.<br><br>The camera on the phone is kinda weird you've gotta hold it for a little then it'll take the picture.<p/>Summary: In all, I say the samsung rant is 4.5 out of five. I hope people do the decharge technique, it really helps. I say this is a great phone for teenagers, and people who like to text a lot.
The good: Feature-rich, with its 2MP camera, nice keyboard, especially for being a touchscreen one, visual voicemail, GPS, also, looking up movie times, weather, and news is fast and easy<p/>The bad: It's got its share of bugs that make two things, in my opinion, virtually unusable. Sprint TV on this phone is horrible. If it's not a choppy picture, then it'll just be a green screen with audio. I even tried a "hack" of sorts to increase the video buffer length, which helped none. Another is the web browser. This is where the phone's processor really slows down, and you feel like you're forcing the phone to go on the internet.<p/>Summary: One other teensy thing about the keyboard: IMO, te backspace key is too close to the useless button that puts the keyboard in portrait mode. Also, with these bugs, almost nothing has been done to fix them, as only about 3 updates have been pushed out for it SINCE THE PHONE'S RELEASE. The "hold lock button to unlock thing" gets really old, really fast.
The good: The texting is very good, and it is a fast phone. I can hear clearing while on the phone aslo.<p/>The bad: This would be my 5th one. Once the charger port broke, second it shut down and deleter everythinggg! and 3rd and 4th the vibrate broke after days of getting it<p/>Summary: I suggest you don't get this phone, ii raelly isnt worth the money. Verizon is good just not this phone
The good: Great plans,ok service,price is reasonable.<p/>The bad: Can't get A Smartphone without a certain plan,they charge a lot of taxes,customer service can be pretty good,but can be a pain.<p/>Summary: I have been with alltel for two years and when I first got my phone they were charging me twice for the same number. I guess someone else had my number when I first got the phone. They thought I was going to pay for both,but after about two months everything was straightened out.There are no stores in Atlanta,GA area and you have to drive a hour to get to an actual store which is in Newnan. However what I love about Alltel is their my cirlce whoever thought of this certainly gets my vote. I also hate the fact that Veriozon Wireless has bought them out. This really sucks..but they have given the opp to keep our plans...
The good: Size - Not too big or small and it is slimmer that a deck of cards, not heavy or bulky; as a woman it fits easily in my hand;<br>Qwerty keyboard - lighted keyboard;<br>Ease of Use;<br>Screen size is easy to see;<br>Features are great; purchased at ATT for around $80 with a 50% special that they had and still get a $50 rebate from Samsung. Not bad for $30. <p/>The bad: The outer case colors are fun but for a more professional, business look, I would have a preferred gray or silver colored trim too as an option. <p/>Summary: I bought this phone because I wanted a new phone. I love my Razr3xx and was quite surprised of this phone. I was apprehensive of the slider design but not anymore! It seemed sort of cheaply made at first but that is not the case. It is a very functional phone. I do not need a PDA type device so I was pleased to find this is the next best thing. The qwerty keyboard is great. You can talk without having to open the slide without a headset and it connected to my bluetooth effortless. I am not sure of battery life as I have been playing with it a lot for the last 2 days. Battery was cited as an issue with the Razr before I purchased it but I was able to go 3-4 days or so before having to charge it. I am not a heavy phone user or texter so I am sure if I use it a lot I will have to charge it daily. I strongly recommend giving this phone a try. The design is a refreshing change. I hope this is a style and design that is copied for a while on the market with all of the wireless providers. Samsung nailed it with the design!
The good: Customer service is great! They are very knowledgeable and professional.<p/>The bad: Currently - No Iphone service. They have their G-1, but the Iphone interface works so well, its the one to get. I hope T-Mobile smartens up on this point!<p/>Summary: I have always experienced a higher level of competence and quality of service from the customer service reps at T-Mobile. Their bills are always correct. While other carriers offer customer service until 7 or 8 PM, it seems that I can always reach someone at T-Mobile (and they are U.S. based, Thank you very much) - could they be 24/7? seems like it.<br><br>T-Mobile's call quality is also excellent. No muffled calls, and always clear and no static. T-Mobile's coverage area might be a bit weak away from populated areas in the Carolinas and a few other less populated areas around the country, but their rates are about $10-$30 a month less for comparative minutes. At least, they are not compromising their high quality service business model as they slowly but surely expand their coverage area.<br><br>Be aware, phone insurance has always been a joke. I have been using cellphones for 15 years, and except for once never dropped a phone and caused serious enough damage to cause me to get a new phone - but even then I purchased an unlocked phone over the net to get me through the rest of my contract. I could have gotten a free phone through the service provider I had back then, but I know they would have required me to extend my contract which I didn't want to do.<br>I have more than enough money saved to purchase an additonal unlocked phone by just being careful, and not having to pay for insurance.
The good: Camera, easy to text, & very easy to use<p/>The bad: Your typical loud slamming sound when you close the phone, hideous design, not much to do with.<p/>Summary: This is an alright phone. If you want a tremendous phone then this phone is not the phone for you. My mom has this phone and i've only used it once. It is very easy to use but lacks excitement. It has a camera/camcorder built in.
The good: Touch screen, camera, keyboard<p/>The bad: Too big!<p/>Summary: The LG Voyager is a great phone. It has an easy to work touch screen and if you don't like it then you just flip the phone open and use the other part of the phone. The phone is a little bit too big in general though. It's still a fun phone to work with.
The good: Good size, nice sound quality, camera phone<p/>The bad: Slower touch screen, often hit thew wrong keys<p/>Summary: The LG Dare was one of the best phones i've ever used. It is very neat to say the least. It can run kind of slow at times but overall is a very good touchj screen phone from Verizon. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice touch screen phone at affordable price.
The good: Music Player - Camera - Video Camera - Radio - Color Choices - Games - Wallpaper - Screensavers - Micro USB Jack<p/>The bad: 2.5 Millimeter Headphone Jack <p/>Summary: This is a great phone! Its my first phone, I got the red version from T-Mobile and it rocks! It has games like AMF Bowling Deluxe (DEMO), Dance Dance Revelotion (FULL) , Diner Dash 2 (DEMO), Guitar Hero 3 (FULL), and Surviving Holiwood (DEMO). Plus I love the camera. It takes really good pictures and videos. Also it was really easy to put music on the thing, plug it in to your computer withe the included micro USB jack, pop the CD in then save songs to your PC then transfer. Uploaded 24 songs so FAST!!!!!!!!! I don't know why It has a 2.5 MM jack because the 5310 the candybar version has a 3.5 MM jack, THAT SUXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX! I have dropped it so many times and just got 1 little tiny scrach on the screen! =) GREAT PHONE!!!!!!!
The good: Cool handy dandy belt clip, grippy surface, textured key pad, durable, pretty good reception.<p/>The bad: Camera is kinda weak, instant messenger signs off after only being on for a few minutes<p/>Summary: I like this little phone. Alot better then the free samsung from t-mobile that I had for a few months. The salesman who sold me this phone told me he threw it across a mall corridor to prove to a customer how durable it was. That sold me on the phone. Being a person who beats on phones and drops them constantly this was the right phone for me. The camera is a little weak. Not that great of quality considering the maker of the phone. The razr I had broken after 2 years of abuse had a much better camera. Overall a pretty good little phone if you're not looking for fancy little doodads and such.
The good: quick, easy texting,great look. <p/>The bad: Usually end up on the internet when not meaning to, because the internet access is very simple to accidentally hit.<p/>Summary: This phone is really nice, I love the large screen and qwerty keyboard. It holds up nice to any throwing about, if you are clumsy. A lot of space for pictures and messages, really great!!!
The good: Scheduler, memos, and lots of other handy features<p/>The bad: Some of the features, such as the memo are not available in landscape mode<p/>Summary: I'm just re-entering the cell phone world after a 10 year hiatus. I thought this phone would have too many bells and whistles that I would never use, but the price was right so I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did.<br>I don't text, but I do email a fair amount from it. With my weird work schedule and the kids' appointments I find always having my schelduler with me to be very handy. I recently dropped my phone in a snow bank, brushed it off, and have had no problems at all.<br>It has definately exceeded my expectations.
The good: I love just about everything about my new Voyager, the touch screen rocks and I rarely open it unless required.<p/>The bad: However...it would have been nice if you could access the speaker phone from the external keyboard, it is ONLY accessible when the phone is open...what good is that? Also, LG manages to provide a qwerty keyboard on the external screen when you go to my music and choose search and are instructed to "tap here to enter text" so why not have this same qwerty keyboard as a text message feature instead of the traditional 3 letters to a number keyboard? <p/>Summary: Can anyone explain these 2 shortfalls that would have really made this phone a "can't live without it" phone?
The good: Excellent reception. Cool devices. Good rates. <p/>The bad: Ocean sometimes freezes. Not enough device choices. Sometimes get texts from random people, when I text to ask who it is they say they didn't text me which is weird (happened about 4 times). No local number - I'm from Peoria and my number comes up as Rock Island. <p/>Summary: The only problem I had with this phone that I had to call customer service about was it was supposed to be activated already when I recieved it in the mail and it was not. The woman I spoke to was very helpful and we got it activated in no time. <br>I went on a road trip to Boston this summer and I remember having reception the entire way. We even went up to New Hampshire into the middle of nowhere and the only two people with reception were me and another person who had Helio. Others had Sprint and AT&T. For unlimited EVERYTHING (but mins) they have a great deal going on. I just wish they'd get some more devices!
