"A definite Alltel upgrade"
Pros: touch screen, user friendly, quite a few features
Cons: ascending ringer(no option), unable to use own custom ringtones
Summary: I have owned this phone for a week now and have pretty much figured out the ins and outs of it.
GOOD
It is well built and sturdy and comes with a screen protector. It seems a lot of people don't like the locking of the phone but I actually think it is very useful and not that big of a deal to unlock it if need be. Pictures and video look great. You can set your own custom wallpaper(but not ringers). Font style and size are adjustable. It has a unit converter in the tools menu and also a world clock. You can watch streaming tv and has a GPS feature(both for a price of course). Overall, the phone is a really great toy, and even better if you can afford to pay for all the extra apps that the phone was made for.
BAD
The ringer settings give you no option for ascending or not, so regardless, your ringer will be ascending and is not loud enough to hear. I made my own ringtones on my computer and transferred them to my phone with the microSD card but they don't show up when I try to set them as ringers. I believe this is Alltel's doing since they are making so much money on their Axcess services. Does anyone else think it is crazy to buy a tiny piece of a song for $3 when a whole song on iTunes costs only 99cents??!! Other than those two(which are major for me!) it's a great phone.

There is a way to use custom ringtones. Just create them on your computer in .mp3 format and go to the "access my pics" website and upload them and send them to your phone. Once you get them in text for you can download them on your phone and they will show up in the my sounds section and will be useable for a ringtone. All free.

"To add your own ringtones etc you need the memory card & just plug the USB cord into comp & browse to the audio folder (for tones) or images (for walls)- drag & drop-done! BUT-you need to copy tones from the card to the "phone" itself to use them as ringtones (this is NOT done on the computer)."
NOT TRUE! You can add music to your SD card from your computer all day long, but the phone WILL NOT let you set your music as a ringtone. EVEN IF you transfer the song from the card to the phone. IT DOES NOT WORK... -
I agree with the ascending ringtone prob - but the rest is totally do-able!

Otherwise the phone rocks!
