This company has the best service ive ever seen!! <br>Unlimited texting is only 15$ a month!!<br>The only down side is that free nights dont start til' 9-0-clock.<br>it is now a part of ATT which means you can get phones offered by AT&T too!!!<br>I love CellularONE<br>
The good: EXCELLENT QWERTY keyboard<br>Huge, easy to use front dial pad<br>Vibrant internal display<br>Soft-touch grip on back<br>VZNagivator<br>Call quality<br>THE NETWORK<br>Excellent battery - up to 5 days standby!<br>PERFECT size!<br>Overall, a FUN phone to use - even after months!<p/>The bad: Front display is litterally like a millimeter too small<br>No sideways directional keys on outside keypad<br>T9 sometimes sneeks into texts while using the inside QWERTY<br>Chrome plating on outside edges chips/warps VERY easily<br>No incoming call location/visual voicemail updates like the Voyager/Dare got.<br><p/>Summary: Such an amazingly fun phone to use!<br>Texting is super - the QWERTY keyboard rivals that of the Sidekick's.<br>The chrome edging chips horribly easy, definitely a HUGE minus.<br>Overall, however, if your careful with your phone, this might just be the greatest phone ever made!
The good: I love the phone because it's just so ME! It's cute and green love the camera on it, I think it's amazing. I'm not really an electronic wiz so thats pretty much what I have tosay about it. I recommended it to a lot of people.<p/>The bad: Like I said I'm no electronic wiz but I really hate that I follwed the instructions and i still can't manage to get the memory card to work in my phone. I even went and got another memory card and followed the directions and it still doesn't work. I called the samsung people but the lady that i talked to didn't really help me, not to say that everyone there isn't helpful but i am going to call again to see what the problem is. Other than that I don't see anything else wrong with it. Oh there is <p/>Summary: If anyone knows about the memory card can you please send me an email or post your review with your possible solution?<br>cerbeverly@yahoo.com
The good: Cool Phones, pretty good service.<p/>The bad: Expensive phone, hidden costs.<p/>Summary: I have UScellular, and I have always liked them...but I believe there are always hidden costs in everything. I know that many providers allow unlimited texts & PIC messages....whereas US, you pay 15 for unlimited text only. I have found that many of my calls are being blocked (too many people using network)...overall though, I love US Cellular, but I like nTelos more...
The good: Very low prices, no hidden costs, small company with very reliable customer service.<p/>The bad: company is small.<p/>Summary: I have nTelos, and I think that the service is awesome. I have Uscellular also, and I have found that I have service in ALL the same places that I do with my US phone. nTelos is having a hard time getting these newer phones, bc the companies are not worried about selling 2000 phones to a small company, when they can turn around and sell Verizon 200,000. You do not want these small cell phone companies to go out of business...by doing this you are FORCED to pay Verizon prices, which most people cannot afford. nTelos offers unlimited plans as low as $50/month...where else can you find that? If you are not happy...go pay $60 somewhere else.
The good: *Good if your looking for a simple phone. <br>*The m500 keypad is a great size for people that have big fingers.<p/>The bad: *The menu button is too small.<p/>Summary: The m500 is a good phone if your looking for a phone just to talk with. The memory card that it comes with lacks size, it is a MicroSd 1GB.<br>Overall I find that the Samsung m500 is okay, but not recommended for people looking for an advanced phone.
The good: It's small but has all the cool stuff as a "real cell phone"<p/>The bad: Too many programming problems. They can't fix problems in a day, it takes weeks.<p/>Summary: I purchased this phone for our daughter. There was a computer clitch with their program. We have been waiting 30 days for them to fix it, and they still havent'. Customer service can never give us any answers other then "sorry for the inconvence". I would never reccommend this phone or the service to any of our firends.
The good: Easy to navigate around. I love the vibration it makes to acknowledge your input. The camera is awesome and the ability to rotate it 90 deg. is great for watching videos and looking at pics.<p/>The bad: Not much - maybe that it seems you have to be very careful where you press on it when selections are close together. You can calibrate it, but it still requires coordination. ;0) Does anyone know how to make the video settings stick? Mine always revert back to the original settings after I exit that screen.<p/>Summary: It's a lot less frustrating if you read the manual first. I love mine now and 2 co-workers bought one after playing with mine for 10 minutes.
The good: Loads of features, nice protective heavyweight case, great looks!<p/>The bad: All the pro's are meaningless when your phone takes 4ever to boot up, gets poor no no reception in known 4-bar areas, seriously overheats and drains battery in less than 12 hours, takes too much time to process/download emails (very small files too) and has little to no customer support at the vendor/manufacturer level. <p/>Summary: Great idea for its time when released at Cingular about spring 2006, but all its bells and whistles cause this gem to fall seriously short as a go-to smart phone. Cost was too steep as well for something touted with so much promise. Even a warrantee swap out of the original phone proved no better.
The good: WiFi, Bluetooth, USB Sync, and the fact its a mini pc.<p/>The bad: Data Plan is REQUIRED when using phone. And, buttons are touchy. You'll need to lock the phone when putting it into the phone carryng case.<p/>Summary: I just purchased this phone from US Cellular, and they said that the Windows Mobile E-mail & Web Service is REQUIRED, and you can NOT remove the data plan, unless you switch phones. The data plan is an additional $24.95 a month, and I keep telling them, I do NOT want this data plan, because the phone has built-in Wifi, Bluetooth, and USB connection (Active Sync). If I want my e-mail/Web, I'll use these other connections, which are FREE. So, Why is the Data Plan REQUIRED ??? I love this phone, and I used to have an HP iPaq, and I never had any data plan with it, and I got to the web/e-mail etc..
The good: Great features, phones, and prices.<p/>The bad: Not the best CS but not as bad as everyone says.<p/>Summary: Sprint offers the most affordable rate plans and widest range of features of any carrier. They have great multimedia and the best 3G network. And in my area coverage is excellent.
The good: Works great, Sounds great, Does what I need<p/>The bad: Ringer volume not loud enough, just average web browser performance. <p/>Summary: I've had the RAZR V3 and V3xx. I have always preferred the Motorola phones, and this version continues to justify that preference. The camera works very well (for a cellphone), taking pictures which have become part of the family album (in other words - good enough to keep showing friends and family).<br><br>I have over 350 directory entries with about 1000 numbers, plus e-mail and physical addresses. With Motorola's Phone Tools (I highly recommend you purchase this software) I am able to keep my address book sync'd with Outlook. It also makes it easy to move photographs from phone to computer.<br><br>When I'm on the road, I use the Edge and 3G data connection to keep my laptop connected to the internet. This works VERY well. I can also use this phone to make voice calls WHILE my laptop is connected to the internet. Way cool - at a fraction of the cost of having a dedicated data card in the laptop.<br><br>In summary - this is a great successor to the very successful RAZR line of cellphones. It will be interesting to see how they improve on this one for their next generation.
The good: 10 cents a minute<br>Good basic phones<br>Easy Minutes Plans - one is as low as $15.00 a month for 150 minutes. That's the best deal I could find.<br>Airtime info is on the phone at all times so you don't have to waste minutes looking that info up on your account like some prepaid carriers.<br>Good Phone coverage<br>Purchasing minutes is easy.<p/>The bad: WEB (WAP) access is limited to Net10 data services only. You can't go anywhere else on the web.<br>Good deal only if you use less than 300 minutes a month<p/>Summary: I was hesitant in going with Net10 because of all the negatives I have read about their customer service. However, I read a magazine site review that said Net10 spent a lot of effort in 2008 to upgrade an improve customer service and I have found their customer service to be good.<br><br>The first phone I purchase was a reconditioned phone from their website that came with 600 minutes. The phone however, did not work. It would not make calls. I spent 3 hours on the phone with 4 different service techs interring codes into the phone trying to get it to work. In the end they agreed to send me a replacement phone. They got the replacement phone to me within two business days. The service people were polite and tried their best to help me and they all spoke English well. The only small hiccup was that the replacement phone was a different flip than the one I ordered. I contacted Net10 and they offered to replace the phone with the correct model. However, I decided I liked the phone they sent me better than the first phone and decided to keep it.<br><br>My Net10 phone actually has better service in my office than my wife's T-Mobile phone.<br><br>I would only recommend a prepaid service if you don't use over 300 minutes a month or if you absolutely do not want to sign a two year contract. If you use more than 300 minutes a month than you would be better off with a contract plan that has unlimited nights and weekends <br><br>I went with Net10 so my two teens could reach me if they need me. I don't talk on the phone much so going with Net10 is cheaper than upgrading our T-Mobile plan to a Family plan and signing a new two year contract.<br><br>I primarily went with Net10 because they have and Easy Minute Monthly plan that has one plan that is as low as 150 minutes a month for $15.00. Once my initial minutes are used up I will start the $15.00 monthly plan which is the lowest deal I could find.
The good: I like the snap sound it makes when I close the door.<p/>The bad: Receive Quailiy not good<p/>Summary: Every call sounds like someone is talking into a sock unless they are on a Bluetooth headset, then it sounds like two socks. Casio missed the most important feature, "receive sound quality"<br><br>Can I please have my Motorola set back?<br>
The good: Ease of use, keys are locked when unit is closed.<p/>The bad: Poor voice clarity/quality.<p/>Summary: I use my phone for calls, rarely anything more. With poor voice quality I am already considering going back to my circa 2000 cell phone.
The good: Sleek in design, fun to play with, music player, full qwerty keyboard, duel opening, and durable.<p/>The bad: Small buttons, and hard to differenciate numbers from letters (AT TIMES).<p/>Summary: I have not had this phone very long but I have dropped it and no damage has come of it, i love to open and close it, texting is a breeze, and i love the design and just everything about it. i completely reccommend this great phone to anyone looking for a good buy.
The sidekick 2008 is a great phone. im 13 and i bought one the other day and i think its fantastic. deffinitly angled more toward the younger crowd such as myself. If you are older i reccomend a blackberry curve from tmobile because it is better in everyway ,for less money. Overall the sidekick "codename Gekko" is a great phone.The only bad thing about it is the voice quality when talking like a phone. But it is a great phone for teens.
The good: Great QWERTY keyboard! Great, sleek design! Easy to use! You'll love TXTing on it! It has a 2.0 megapixel camera! It's keyboard is actually roomy unlike the Samsung Alias'!<p/>The bad: Could have the camera with auto focus and a flash.<p/>Summary: It definitely slimmed down from the old enV. It's really fun to text on because you don't have to press buttons three times all the time. It looks and isn't a 'brick' like the old enV. Its an awesome phone!!!!!!!
The good: Looks and Feel are great. <p/>The bad: Sound quality has room for improvement. <p/>Summary: I fell in love with the look of the phone and the fact that I like to be outdoors. It seems to have the perfect "mountain/rugged" look that has people turning heads saying, " that phone look cool". However, the sound quality is quite an issue. People sound somewhat muffled. From what I am told, people can hear me just fine...hopefully there will be a fix? Maybe..please?
The good: not your normal verizon UI!!! the form factor of the phone. lightweight and not a big as you might think.. cool looks with the touchscreen. a high tech phone for anyones budget :)<p/>The bad: Again not as big as you might think.. so this makes the touchscreen hard to use sometimes :/<br>Verizon crippled this phone with all of its restrictions. such as the bluetooth transfers and etc.<br>Gets to happy sometimes and will get ahead of itself <br>keyboard takes some time getting used to<br><p/>Summary: This is by far one of the best phones i have ever owned. the only phone that can come close is the alias.. but the alias has nothing on this phone when you compare the features:The screen is bright and crisp. The keyboard is more roomy than you might think. The screen (has some quirks but not as bad as the voyager) is not iphonish but this isnt an iphone. This phone has a great screen for viewing txt, pix, and vids since you can use the whole screen unlike with your regular phones :)The web browser has great speed but the screen just doesnt let you fully take in all of that speed. <br><br>It's a great alternative to the voyager... after the firmware update you can get youtube videos as well :)<br><br>It doesn't offer mobile tv but with youtube you will not have time for mobile tv.<br><br>I love my glyde and you will too :)<br>
