"A good basic phone - no fancy bells or whistles"
Pros: MP3 ringtones, lots of customization options, good navigation
Cons: Low resolution screen, small keys
Summary: I bought this phone as a interim replacement to my T-Mobile MDA. I needed something that was cheap, that I could pay for out of my pocket without having to renew my contract for, so this was the perfect answer.
I bought this phone from the Sams Club in Phoenix for $28.00 as a pre-paid phone.
It is just a basic phone, you can make calls, send text messages, and receive picture messages. Whats funny is that you can also send picture messages, but there is no camera on the phone.
The phone doesn't have a volume control on the side, and not having read the manual, it was a difficult findihgn that the left/right rocker keys in the middle controlled the volume control.
It has a speaker phone, which is great. The volume adjusts as well.
Theres a few ringtones pre-loaded, but you can get both of t-mobiles regular ring tones or hi-fi ring tones. You can also record your own through the microphone.
The keypad is kinda small for me, sometimes when i press the '2' button, the '5' gets pushed.
Some of the menus are long to navigate, not that their difficult, but you have to go through several screens to do something simple, like send a text. (Open phone book, select person, select options, select send a message, select text message/picture message/instant message).
Navigation could be more concise.
The phone does offer alot of flexibility with customization though. You can change out the themes, download themes from T-Zones, change ringers assign ring groups, change font colors, back ground images, etc.
For a basic phone though, $28.00 seems well worth the price.
