a comprehensive review
I've had this phone for almost two weeks. for me, that comes up to 295 calls, and 22 hrs on the phone so far. i also exchange 10-15 txt msgs/day.
Reception
it's digital only w/ an int. antenna, which worried me at first, but i live in louisville, ky, and i've been to some rural areas in IN with it, and recptn (verizon) has been excellent. good thing, because i break antennas off. a lot.
Sound quality
i have no trouble hearing, but the sound quality is only good to very good. outgoing sound quality is very good. both in-out excellent with a decent headset.
Functionality
great standby and talk time
the ringers are very limited. but i prefer discreet and simple on the rare occasion my phone is not set to vibrate.
the vibration is strong enough that when i get a text i can still feel my phone over the vibration of a jet engine warming up 30 ft from me. (which happens to me often)
you cannot use your own recorded voice as a ringer.
calculator, voice memo, and alarm are very easy to use.
you can set the phone to not hang up when you close the screen. attach the headset, dial, close the screen and slip it back in your pocket to talk.
holds 500 names, 5 #s + email for each name. you choose which # will be the speed dial, so if you speed dial 2 #s for the same person, make separate entries.
Design
this phone is sleek, compact, and attractive. common reactions have been, "cool!" "slick." "tight." they're right.
the screen is large, bright and beautiful. time display when screen is closed is large and easy to read.
pros
no antenna to break off
fits and functions well in a pocket
big screen
loud speaker
nice design
cons
no camera (if you care)
cannot send txt msgs from contact menu
sound quality ok
concerns
plastic covers over chrg and earpiece connectors may break off. screen release buttons good now but may wear out later.
i do love this phone. perfect for on-the-go, throw-it-in-your-pocket, *phone* users.
also read my review of the lg vx 6100.
Hot little number...
Just got this phone yesterday and after 24 hrs of use I am ready to give my opinion of this phone. Style wise this phone couldn't be hotter. Love the "pop top" design and the two tone color scheme. The screen is not quite as crisp as it's A670 brother but still very nice (if you upload your own pics via fotoshare make sure to pump up the color saturation on the original pic). The ringer volume is great...finally a phone I can hear from the other room. The ring&vibrate feature is nice but only works with preloaded ringtones from what I can tell so far (had to add my barber of seville ringer with bugs wallpaper). Menus are easy to navigate. The feel is slightly plastic but solid (unlike most of the phones by Verizon now that feel like they came from a bubblegum machine). Keypad is small but the raised keys make it easy to feel and use. There is no camera but I knew this going in so not a big deal. The speakerphone is usable but not perfect (I just like speakerphone models because the ringtones tend to be louder).
Pros:
Style-Such a hot little design/eye catching
Usability-easy to use, good navigation
Speakerphone-decent sound but great for ringtones
Size & Weight-small but not too small and light
Reception-good signal strength and clear audio
Features-number keys disabled with poptop down so no need to lock keypad/customizable graphics and ringers
Cons:
Price-kind of spendy at retail price for no camera
Features-no camera (if you even want one)/Ring&vibe doesn't work with custom ringtones
Reception-There is a problem with some of the phones with the earpiece cutting in and out. Had this problem with first one but second one is fine.
Great Phone Little Phone
My Mom bought this phone on Saturday at full retail price and she loves it. I played around with it for a while and here is what I have to say about it.
Pros
- Great design fits comfortably in pockets and in hand
- Great ringer volume (not no Nextel, but its louder than my 9900)
- Slide screen is cool (attracts alot of people)
- Great reception for Verizon's first internal antenna phone (not counting PDAs/BlackBerry)
- Speaker phone is O.K. (again not a Nextel)
-Phone vibrates to the beat of the ring tone (I personally think that's cool)
- No buttons can be pressed while screen is down
- Phone can be answered without having to slide the screen up
Cons
- Not a large selection of ring tones
- Speaker phone can only be activated after the call has gone through (same with my 9900)
This are all the Pros and Cons I know for now, but if I find out more I will update.
