"Good Flip Phone for Free"
Pros: Speaker-phone, decent display, sound quality
Cons: Voice dialing, switching ring modes, battery meter
Summary: We were looking for a flip-phone at an entry level price, and we found one. This is a nice little phone, it does everything we need it to do, just some of the extra features are hard to use. The voice dialing is not as user friendly as my previous Nokia 3595, as well as switching to silent mode or vibrate. The phone doesn't vibe and play music at the same time
it will vibrate and then ring or one or the other. I do like the screen resolution and the ringtones are better because it can play mp3. The front display is neat because it will show you who's calling before you have to open it up. I'm disappointed in the battery meter because it is only 3 bars, and there isn't much warning before the phone just turns off, you get about 4 minutes talk time after it tells you it needs a charge. The speaker-phone is a neat feature, and people can't tell they are on speakerphone with you. Oh yeah, it could come with more games.
Overall, its a good entry level phone that is flip style. Don't know if I'd trade in that Nokia 3595 just yet. I got this for free with 1 year contract.
