"Great phone, great music player, great battery life!!!"
Pros: Great reception, Great Music player, Sleek look, long battery life, Easy to use
Very customizable (ringers, displays, menu layouts)Cons: Non-Standard USB connection on the phone itself (can't use a standard USB cable), Fingerprint magnet, No EV-DO (this didn't bother me, as it mainly is used to download music straight to phone), No case or holster comes with the phone
Summary: I just got this phone, and have had it for 3 days. I haven't been able to test the battery life, as I have only charged it one time, and it's still going! This is a great looking phone, and does not feel cheap like other reviews have said. It does show finger-prints, so if you can't stand that, do not get this phone!
As for the features/ease of use, I was able to add songs onto the phone using Windows Media Player (you do not have to use Rhapsody), and the internal memory will hold approx. 100 songs. You can add a 16Gb Micro-SD card. I have 64-bit Vista on my laptop, and it recongized the Trance immediately, and loaded all drivers for it. All I had to do was drag the songs I wanted onto the phone, then click sync. It added approx. 65 songs in about 4 minutes. Could not have been easier.
The charger is a really nice feature, as it combines the charger and USB cable all into one. I wish it had a standard USB connection on the phone, but it is proprietary. You have to use the cable that comes with it. However, you can charge your phone using your PC with this cable, and avoid the wall outlet, if needed.
The sound from this phone is truly outstanding. It sounds better than my IPOD for music, and the voice quality is great. Everything is customizable on this phone. The display, ringers, menus, menu layout, soft keys, and touch controls are all adjustable/customizable. When you first activate the phone, it takes you through a simple "Setup Wizard" that walks you through all of this to "personalize" your phone. I thought this feature was very convenient, allowing you to change all of your setting at one time.
Other than the fingerprints, the proprietary USB connection on the phone, and the fact that it did not come with a case or holster, I am completely satisfied with my purchase. Definitely worth the 2 year upgrade!!!
