"Nice Features. But just an average phone."
Pros: - Voice Command
- Blue Tooth
- Decent Screens (internal and external)Cons: - Too many keystrokes to turn on phone's blue tooth.
Summary: If you don't use your phone too much, it's a nice choice that you won't be embarrassed to be seen in public with. It has a nice set of features and battery life is respectable (at least with the new battery). The camera makes for a nice looking contact list, but the camera isn't much good for more than that.
- Average call quality (not as good as cyclops)
- Account Balance feature doesn't work.
On the down side, it looks like there is no shortcut to activating the bluetooth headset. You have to do it from deep inside the menu structure, which kind of defeats the whole purpose of having a bluetooth headset.
Call quality is so-so. The cyclops had better reception, which I returned it because VM refused to give me my promised rebate. But really, I don't use the phone too much (more use it for receiving text messages) so I can live with the occasional lost word.
I got it on Black Friday for only $20. And for $5/month, it's a great deal.
