"The KX444 is the One!!!"

by BioVader on February 25, 2005

Pros: Pros: It is now my mission to get my friends hoocked on this phone.

Cons: Cons: Would have been nice is the phone came with a belt clip
Summary: I just picked up two KX444?s phones yesterday for me and my wife. We?ve been having a ball using the Push to Talk feature and now I can?t even imagine even making a regular phone call now with it. It?s so convenient to use once you have everything set up. Go to http://www.vzwpushtotalk.com/ to set up your PTT contact list for your phone. That is the only thing the sales person didn?t mention.

I do want to mention that we were a little skeptical about the service working the way it was supposed to in our area and now we are just blown us away with the results. Even in areas where we think that our phone won?t work we are shocked to find that the PTT still goes through. It just seems that it takes a few more seconds for your phone to be located on the initial contact. Once that?s done we?re grinning.

Now I know I?m only talking about the PTT feature but that the only reason why I?ve bought this phone. I didn?t buy it for anything else. The speaker volume is surprisingly loud. I?ve never had a phone that I could use the alarm clock setting to wake me up out of bed? This phone it my new baby!!!

Pros:
PTT works great
Speaker volume is loud and I think it has better quality then the other 3 PTT verizon phones.
It looks cool
The rubber grips are a plus
Downloadable ring tones
Raised easy to find rubber buttons
Car and home charger from my CDM-8900 work with this phone

Cons:
Screen is small and probably second to the new LG phone. (same size screens though)
It should have came with a carrying case of some kind or belt clip.

Thank you for submitting your feedback!

Check out Kyocera's accessories. They have a killer sport clip (simply replaces your current battery door that attaches to your belt, belt loops, etc. It can also function as a great desk stand and helps make use of the awesome speaker function. I bought it and it was worth every penny.

I agree that the phone should've come with some kind of belt clip...that said, I bought a nice Belkin clip kit that came with a belt clip, and a nice one that you can put in your car. It's nice to mount the phone to the one in the car and use the speaker phone.

I found the clip at a local department store, so I'm sure they're easy to find anywhere.
