Games on the phone though are somewhat of a downfall because the controls dont work so well for me. Also my phone takes a while to turn on and that sorta bugs me.

Verizon even had to discontinue it!!! (Hmmmmmmmmm i wonder why???) Well, anyways, I only have one pro. That is the fact that the phone has an outside screen. Other than that, the phone SUCKS! the speaker phone sucks, the quality sucks, the size sucks, and even the camera sucks! I dropped it once and now its all screwed up!!! I previously had a Samsung a650 and that was the best phone by far. It would not die, and this one seems to be as fragile as a Razor! DO NOT BUY USED PN-215!!!

For those of you having issues with its features being turned on or off, that is a problem with your account setup through your provider, and is no fault of the phone. It is also completely irrelevant what graphics the phone has, as Verizon tends to load the same software and graphics on multiple phones. Thats a software issue, folks, not the physical phone.<br />I am a Verizon Wireless customer, and this was a free phone elligible to members of a family share plan. <br />While it does not have certain features like removable memory, I think the camera quality is equally good to any other camera phone I have used. My battery lasts for several days, even when I seem to talk on it more. If you are having trouble with your battery, there is a good chance you received a faulty battery; it is not the phone. <br />It seems as sturdy as any other cell phone I have owned, and I have been able to customize it with downloadable ringtones, images, and pictures I have taken. <br />Overall I think it is a good phone for someone looking for a low-cost reliable device with all of the necessities, and a lot less confusion than some of the fancier models. <br />The only negative point I really have about it is that because it is not a major name-brand, I cannot find a snug-fitting cover that I like. Verizon provides a black leather one, but I was hoping for something in pink. :)</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=726 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=726&r=18339#review18339 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=726&r=18339#review18339 Fri, 18 Aug 2006 00:20:20 GMT <p><i>Keala submitted this review of the Pantech PN-215 / CDM-8915 / Snapper / PN-300:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I have had over 6 phones and I am only 16.

The camera works well, I like it. But for some reason, the battery seems to have too much of a short life. I haven't used it to call anyone, only taken a couple pictures and downloaded 3 ringtones. I fully charged it when I first got it before I activated it. Then a few hours later, the battery was low. Last night I downloaded one ringtone and that was all I used it for. Then this afternoon, I went to take it outside to download another ringtone when I came to find that it said "Very low battery". It had a full charge last night when I went to bed. So the battery life for this phone as listed must be kinda deceptive. I hate the way the phone beeps when you go in and out of service areas. I wish there was a way to turn that feature off, but obviously there isn't. Another thing I don't like is when I have no service, the display shows "Searching for service" and doesn't show the wallpaper. Instead it shows the message with an annoying background. Other than that, the phone is pretty decent.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=726 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=726&r=18119#review18119 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=726&r=18119#review18119 Sun, 06 Aug 2006 03:33:42 GMT <p><i>yorkiegirl submitted this review of the Pantech PN-215 / CDM-8915 / Snapper / PN-300:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Not a very user friendly phone and several features do not work, in particular the distinctive ringing feature.

I am very carefull with my phones, but this one is so bad. The extendable antenna sucks. When you loose service it beeps and there is no way to stop it. Which is a bummer because i have to have it turned off in school because of it. The camera is really bad. Theres no video either.There is one good thing about this phone though, it plays ring tones well. Now back to the cons, speaker phone sucks, external display is in black and blue not color. The glossy black shows finger prints very well, so your phone always looks ugly, after about a week or two you'll have to charge it every night which sucks if your on a long trip. Overall i gave this phone a 0.5 which i only because of the ring tones. If you asked me, i would say stay away from VM there phones are cheap and useless.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=726
