The good: heavy, if you like the substantial feel. Color screen.<p/>The bad: Often, the phone is unable to charge.<p/>Summary: Problems with the recharger, the prongs don't fit well and often the phone says it won't charge. It's plugged in correctly but the next morning when you leave the house you realize it didn't charge. I had two of these phones, both broke, both wouldn't charge often. One completely lost sercvice, the other lost volume. I don't recomend this phone
The good: Not as wide as most BlackBerry devices, has Bluetooth, great speakerphone, qwerty-type keypad layout, excellent PIM functionality, fun games.<p/>The bad: List-based menu prior to 4.1.0.292 firmware update, hard to see screen when outside in daylight.<p/>Summary: Ever since I upgraded the firmware to v4.1.0.292, I have had a hard time trying to put my Blackberry down! The new icon-based menu is more appealing and the ability to install different themes is great!
The good: Very Nice Look, Nice Size Buttons And; A Great Camera<p/>The bad: Poor Reception, The Phone Has Problems Charging And; The Screen Glares<p/>Summary: This Is A Good Phone As Far As Looks. But It Just Has Way To Many Problems With Connection, And Reception. So I cant Give This A Full Reccomendation. But It May Be Worth A Try If You Think You May Get A Model With Less Problems.
The good: Awesome features like camera, Camcorder, PDA, BlueTooth<p/>The bad: Cost<p/>Summary: Treo 650 is an awesome phone with features like PDA (Diary), Camera, Camcorder, Fast internet browser and awesome handsfree speaker apart from the fact that its bluetooth enabled. Voice quality is amazing and the internet browser is really fast. You can also check your email on the phone. The camcorder and the camera is pretty good though they cant beat the original 5 MP but for immediate need , it would do. SD memory card can help increase the number of photos you can save. Its expensive and with 700P and 700W coming in, the 650 maynot be there for long!!! but it still is a very nice phone and i love mine.
The good: It's compact and light weight. Easy open and close,numbers are easy to see and use. Can go directly to camera mode with one touch,can adjust volumn without opening the phone, charger plugs in easely,sleek black and silver design,antenna thick so it doesn't bend or break<p/>The bad: There is really nothing I don't like about my phone. I have nothing bad to say.<p/>Summary: I have recommended this phone to others alot. I've had it almost a year now and will keep it and continue using it. Others have checked the phone and they like it also and have stated they would like to get one also. There have been some who never saw it before and are looking for a new phone so I believe they might have bought one of these.
The good: good service...no dropped calls<p/>The bad: none<p/>Summary: Plans ranging from 1000 minutes weeknights and weekends to 5000 minutes weeknights and weekends.<br>Get a free phone with a 2 year agreement, I suggest doing that cause the phone doesn't last long anyways.
The good: Fair, inexpensive pre-paid mobile plan. Best customer service yet, great coverage. Good website, clear and easy to navigate.<p/>The bad: No record of calls available on T-Mobile's website for the pre-paid plan. That is the only hole in their service.<p/>Summary: A pre-paid cell/mobile plan was needed as a spare phone, and for occasional non-business use in our family. With the other major carriers charging an extra 99-cents or $1 per day just to use the phone, PLUS a higher per-minute rate, this was one of the easiest decisions I've had to make this year. We already have T-Mobile for a couple other phones in our family, so I knew the level of service to expect. With a little research, I found that Cingulair and Verizon both charged an extra $1 (Cingulair) or 99-cents (Verizon) PER DAY just to send or receive a single text message or make a 1 minute phone call - plus the cost of the text message or the minutes used for the call, of course! None of the other companies were realistic with their pre-paid plans as far as both their per-minute rates and when the unused minutes expire. Not even the 2nd and 3rd tier carriers/reseller companies like Tracfone, Net 10, Boost, etc. could hold a candle to T-Mobile's rates and unused minutes expiration policy. T-Mobile's pre-paid plans include a great bonus with the purchase of $100 total (over time) in refill cards, or you can buy the $100/1000 minute card to receive the bonus now. Unlike any other company at the time of this review, the "Gold Rewards" bonus gives you 15% more minutes free on any price refill card from then on, plus your minutes don't expire for one year, even if you only add the minutes from a $10 card from your spare change to your Gold Rewards account. It gets better. As a Gold Rewards member, all of your minutes roll over of course when you add minutes, but the expiration date rolls over too! Say you have a Gold Rewards account and you add a $25 refill card. Not only do all of your minutes roll over, but the expiration date for ALL of your minutes is renewed and extended for one year from the date of that refill, regardless of how many or how few minutes you added! No other company has a plan like this, and the $100 refills are only 10-cents per minute and 5-cents to send/receive text messages. T-Mobile doesn't have their hand in your pocket all the time ready to smack you upside the head with an extra $1 every day just to carry your phone and make a quick call home like the other top-tier companies have (and the lower tier/resller companies have some extra fees too). With T-Mobile's lower per-minute rates (with Gold Rewards) and a better, realistic, fair plan for rolling over your unused minutes, I can recommend T-Mobile as not only the best there is, but the best pre-paid mobile can be. It would be nice to be able to view calls made and received on their website, but that is a small thing to miss compared to the benefits of T-Mobile's pre-paid Gold Rewards plan that all accounts can receive either in time or right away. T-Mobile's customer service is the cherry on this sundae that makes a complete package even better. Unless there are extended factors, I would not recommend a pre-paid mobile as your primary mobile phone regardl
The good: screen , speakerphone ,bluetooth<p/>The bad: hard to see screen when its outside<p/>Summary: Good phone for the money but there are much better versions out there. Its got everything you need speakerphone, blutooth ,internet. Good phone
The good: Many features on an inexpensive phone, small footprint, interchangeable faceplates<p/>The bad: Quiet speakers, battery issues<p/>Summary: The Z525a is a feature packed phone that gets the job done, quietly. You will have to strugle to hear inside of a crowded area. The reception is mediocre, but works okay most of the time.
The good: small in size, easy to use<p/>The bad: volume isnt loud enough,speaker phone isnt loud enough, ringer isnt loud enough,battery life marginal<p/>Summary: I got this phone from my service provider 18 months ago and I have had some problems with batteries keeping charge. Sometimes I can charge phone and it stays charged for almost a week, and other times it only stays charged for a day and a half. I am not a power user , and only make a phone call or two a day.
The good: You can call a majority of people for free!<p/>The bad: Lots of "dropped" calls.<p/>Summary: Cingular boasts that they have the fewest dropped calls, that is because when your call is "dropped" if you hang on, they reconnect you.
The good: light, compact, super simple<p/>The bad: loses signal pretty easily; built in antenna can easily be covered with hand<p/>Summary: For a simple inexpensive phone, this phone choice is great. It doesn't have photo capability, but it does have a built in calculator (+ tip calculator), voice memo, notepad, various default ringtones, etc. The one major downside is the built in antenna doesn't catch in all areas & you lose signal a lot inside buildings.
The good: Walkie Talkie <br>Great Coverage<p/>The bad: Limited choice of phones<br>Expensive plans<p/>Summary: Nextel is one of the major carriers right now. They are most popular because of their walkie talkie service. The walkie talkie service works just like a regualr set of walkie talkie, except you can contact anyone, doesn't matter how far they are. Nextel has great coverage, on highways sometimes you might have a weak signal but thats normal with all other carriers also.<br>The limtied choice of phones really does down Nextel. You can not use another phone except the ones made by motorola or nextel. Nextels phones aren't GSM so you can't use them all over the world except the (i930).<br>The plans are good but they are expensive. They do have plans with unlimited walkie talkie, and nights and weekends. Over all, this is a great service.
The good: call quality, customizable ringtones, external screen, bluetooth, "calls" list accessible from main screen, out-of-the-way internet button--prevents you from accidentally connecting to costly services<br><p/>The bad: no send/end buttons, no way to change timeout on internal display, speaker on back side, battery cover difficult to remove <p/>Summary: I have very much enjoyed using my T610 for years (via T-Mobile US), but I wanted to upgrade to better PIM support. After a great deal of searching and review reading, I picked this phone for features and value. I use the bluetooth every day (the IR only occasionally), and I've been able to retire my shaky T3 (sorry Palm) entirely. I had only a small hiccup setting this up for T-Mobile (unsupported), and the ease of use is FANTASTIC. Not the phone for everyone, but if you want your phone to take over PIM duties, offer good WAN browsing, news, email, and messaging (as well as very decent still and video cameras), this is an EXCELLENT value. As for the phone calls, the speaker is very good, and I get clear reception. If you really want to listen to music on your phone and not your iPod, this isn't the phone for you (no storage expansion). If you just want to make phone calls, this may be too much phone for you (too many goodies). In comparison to the T610 in the same usage area, there is slightly more tendency to get drop outs.
The good: Cheapest service for what you get with the SERO plan, good choice of phones, free phone w/ new plan<p/>The bad: No free text messaging with the cheapest plan<p/>Summary: Sprint is the best service I've had thus far. They have the best rates for great service. Can't beat 500mins, Free N/W after 7, Free Vision, and phone for $40/month.
The good: Very easy to use, light, decent camera w/ zoom, has vision<p/>The bad: no bluetooth<p/>Summary: This is a great camera for people who do not need all the fancy functions like mp3, bluetooth, or video recording ability. Great phone w/ no fuss.
The good: great color screen, takes awesome pictures with the Camera, <p/>The bad: cant think of any!!! thats a good thing!<p/>Summary: really thin, fits nicely in my pocket. love the speaker phone function, really helpful especially when driving. i can leave it uncharged for 2 days!
The good: It has great signal in the county are<p/>The bad: If you go out of the county it tends to drop calls<p/>Summary: I am pleased with this phone, and the carrier, I only wish they would put another tower to help in less drop calls.
The good: EDGE Technology for the internet which gives you top of the notch speed when surfing the web, has a great 1.3 mp digital camera, now has bluetooth capability<p/>The bad: battery runs out fast<p/>Summary: this phone over all is a great phone, if you do not use all the features it has availible do not purchase
When ever I have a concern or problem with my phone I don't have to worry because I know that it will be taken care of right away. They have some of the most understanding and pleasant customer service reps.
