"More Cons than Pros..."
Pros: screen in light, fast net, customizable, to do list, feel, loud ringer, can edit/zoom photos afterwards
Cons: not loud/ear hole bad, low spkr phone, menus stay open, weak bluetooth, only one FM radio earphone, must plug headset in for FM on speakerphone, no vibrate key, boring net screens,
Summary: I had this phone for about 4 days. I got it because I thought it would give me better reception and volume than my old phone (Samsung E-315). I also thought the FM radio would be cool. It did not really improve my reception, and the volume was a little better, but the earhole is small and in a wierd place, so it's hard to hear if there's any wind or noise in the background. The FM radio was cool, but it only comes with one earphone, so that's pretty worthless. You also need to hook up the headset to hear the radio on loudspeaker. Speaking of which, the speakerphone is not very loud either.
Other Cons were that the bluetooth didn't seem strong. I heard a lot of crackling when I was more than about 5 ft away from the phone on a bluetooth headset (nokia hdw-3).( I know it's the phone because I got a Motorola Razr and it works much better, and hardly has any static at long distances (20+ feet)). Another thing that really irritated me was that if you don't close everything out before you physically close the phone it opens back up to the same spot. This didn't seem to bad at first, but it seemed to screw things up when someone called while something else was opened. I also had problems answering calls if I was going through menus or on the mobile web and it got really annoying.
There were some good things: The ring was plenty loud, the screen was clearly viewable even in direct sunlight, the internet (tmobile web) was very fast- maybe twice as fast as on the razor and my previous phone (boring looking screens though). The phone looks good and has a cool feel. Nice buttons and easy to press. Very customizable for menus and net pages. You can edit and zoom your photos after you take them. Nice to do list, notes, and stopwatch features. Reception was average as far as I could tell.
Anyways, I was not satisfied with this phone. I paid $50 with a 2 year tmobile agreement. I brought it back for the Razr for $70 with the same agreement, and I am so happy with the Razr!! The Razr is much smaller, has great voice quality and volume, better bluetooth, better (great) speakerphone, The screen is huge and amazingly brilliant (not so great in direct sunlight, but that's not a major problem for me).
