"Excellent Phone features" on by stlouisramsfan03
Pros: Excellent Call, and Bluetooth connections.
Cons: Slightly loose flip, and no one touch feature for selecting playlists.
Summary: This is best phone I had, yet the cons, prevent me from making it perfect. Yet, a lot better than my previous (4) phones, which came up to 4-6.

"Excellant, feature rich phone (especially for the price)" on by Frostc12
Pros: Call Quality, Number of Features, Design, Battery life
Cons: Have to use Alltell's store to purchase ringtones, outside LCD very basic, CellTop seem more gimmicky than functional
Summary: I bought this phone a few months ago from Alltel's prepaid plan. I have been extremely pleased with this phone so far. The quality in my area has been excellent. The battery life has been extremely good -I've been getting close to a week between charges (and I charge it as soon as it drops to 2 bars of battery left). In addition the on board speaker is really nice.
The design of the phone is very nice and I have gotten numerous compliments. The camera quality is really good. Like most new Alltel phones it ships with cell-top -which I have found to mostly be a nuisance. The features provided could have been really nice had they been integrated into the phone. Instead of this, I have to run the cell-top application which takes a while to load, and then I have to wait for the individual cells to load. Honestly the wait isn't that long, but it's bad enough that I never actually use it.
The only other issue I have is that the phone has a proprietary speaker port, requiring the user to buy an overpriced headset if they want to use the phones mp3 player functionality (I guess you could technically use the phone speakers). -
"Love my phone" on by nikkisue72
Pros: ease of use, great design, loud ring tone
Cons: Camera isn't the best, screen gets messy fast
Summary: I got this phone in December due to massive troubles with my previous cell phone. I bought the Hue due to the amount of features, the camera, ease of answering calls, and my circle network. The one thing I have realized when it comes to roaming or leaving your home circle is that before you leave dial *228 and when you return home do the same again. It will update your roaming features and you get much better reception. I was in a north Milwaukee suburb which is currently a Verizon hub, in a wine cellar, during a storm and still was able to get cell great coverage. I don't like how everything sticks to the screen and the camera isn't the best, but really I have a digital camera for all of that. It takes good enough pics for my screen saver. You do have to buy a small memory card to save your photos, which I haven't done yet. The speakerphone works great, better than most of my relatives phones, the key pad works very easily, and the ring tones you can actually hear. I like you can turn on the vibrate feature and ring at the same time. I have nothing but good things to say about the phone. I haven't used all the features, but I do have the web feature and though it isn't always the fastest in 1X mode, when you enter EV mode it works pretty darn quick. I have used it for driving directions, phone numbers, and weather forcasts. For the money it was a steal!
