Sweet Black Cherry Chocolate!
I am new to Verizon, and the black cherry Chocolate phone has been wonderful so far. PROS --Great reception --Loud earpiece volume --Intuitive UI --Has a separate In Case of Emergency category in red for your contacts. --Vibrating keys CONS --The only con is the battery life
V557 Review
I've had this phone for a couple of weeks now, and it's a great phone! It has all the features you'd want (like bluetooth, camera, video, EDGE), but even if you just make and receive calls, it does that well too. PROS: --Great reception --Excellent call/voice quality --EDGE data speed --Side volume keys for calls and ringtones --Bright display --Good size keys CONS: --Included rings are lame, I had to download a normal ring (the Continental is too high-pitched and will strip the paint off the walls). ...
6030 is Great
Nokia has done it again--provided simplicity and fun in a nice, small black phone called the 6030. If you've been thinking about getting this one, go for it! PROS: --GoTo options are customizable. --Right soft key and navigation key are customizble. This avoids the ever-annoying mistake of getting into the Media Mall unintentionally. --Great reception and usual Nokia quality. --Sharp, crisp display. --Excellent battery life. --Nice compact size. --Much better looking than the 6010. --Good speakerphone. CONS: --Only one, and this is probably Cingular's fault, ...
It's OK . . .
Got the phone a few days ago, and I like it fine for a free phone. PROS: Reception is excellent. Call quality great. Price (free) is right. Display bright and easy to see. Side volume keys--hard to find on low-end phones but IMO ought to be on any phone. Hot key for setting ring tone/volume. Compact and easy to carry in purse or pocket. CONS: Battery life, as others have mentioned. It needs charging every couple of days. Ringers not very loud. Ringtones included are lame. ...
Love the 3220
Nokia's done it again with the 3220--provided a reliable, fun candybar phone that's sure to please. PROS: --Nokia user interface, always a pleasure --Usual excellent battery life and reception --Very compact, easy to fit in pockets and purses --Handy Go To menu that lets you access the menu items you use most, like changing profiles or starting a message --Customizable soft keys --Plenty of ringtones and wallpapers --Lights are cool CONS: --Back cover not easy to put back on sometimes I haven't ...
So far it's awesome!
I've had a black RAZR for almost a week now, and I love it! Pros: Reception is the best I've ever had. Voice quality is as good as any land line. I love the big display. Looks cool. Nice wallpapers/backgrounds. Cons: I actually don't like the thinness much, it's hard to get my big fingers around it. Can't store one-digit speed dial #s on the SIM card, have to copy it to the phone memory to do this. Overall: I don't use many of ...
A Bit Disappointed
This could have been a nice venture into flip phones for Nokia. While you can usually count on Nokia for good reception, this one had more Motorola-like mediocre reception. PROS: --Easy to use --Unique design --Nice ringtones --Better contrast on backgrounds and letters --Don't have to remove battery to change SIM. CONS: --Reception only so-so (not up to Nokia standards). --No external caller ID. It's a cutie, and if the reception had been better, I would have loved it.
Still Love the 6340i
Yes, I know it's not the latest or greatest. It's not a flip, color, or camera phone. But it still works well for making calls and text messaging. If you just want a phone and not an entertainment complex, this one is still a great. PROS: --Nokia's usual ease of use --Excellent reception --Practically indestructible! --Good basic ringers (I don't care about mp3 ringers, just want a ring-ring) --Side volume keys --Can easily see in direct sunlight, also don't ...
Has Potential But . . .
PROS: --Speakerphone --Nice display --Nice Moto UI and menus --Light and small --I liked the design and black color. CONS: --First one's mic didn't work, so had to get another one; inconsistent quality. --Reception was only adequate. A nice entry-level phone, but Motorola seems to be having QA/QC issues with this and other models. Hopefully they'll get back to the drawing board and fix the issues.
Nice First Samsung!
Just got this phone, and already I like it. It's my first Sammy. PROS: --Reception is very good. --Call quality is clear. --Nice compact size. --Ringtone volume is good. --Clamshell design. CONS: --Can't seem to find a way to keep text messaging from defaulting to T9, but I'll have to read the manual :-) --No external caller ID, but this is remedied by setting it on answering delay. --Included ringtones are strange, but there are a couple of actual rings on there, and you can download others. This ...
Nice Entry-Level Phone!
This is good for basic users or for a back-up phone. PROS: --Reception is great. --Easy-to-use Nokia menus. --Loud ringtones. --All around good phone CONS: --Voice quality can be a bit muffled, but it's OK. --No speakerphone (not a huge deal, can get an earbud) --Cheesy ringtones, why can't they put more normal rings on these phones (not just Nokia, but other manufacturers as well) Overall, a good buy, I'd recommend it for a good lower-end phone.
Great Entry-Level Phone!
I have the 6010 as a spare, back-up phone, but it's the one I reach for when going out to the sticks and needing great reception! PROS: --Excellent reception --Great voice quality --Easy Nokia menus/interfaces --Corrects the weird keypad of the 3595 CONS: --No speakerphone (but you can get an earbud, not a real biggie) --Really no other cons! Bottom line: You can't go wrong with this phone, whether you get it for back-up or as your primary phone.
I LOVE IT!!
This phone rocks! PROS: --Excellent reception, actually rivals some Nokias I have. --Great display --Nice ringtones and free ones available at sonyericsson.com --Bigger size; some see this as a con, but I like slightly bigger phones. CONS: --Some menus aren't intuitive, but nothing I can't figure out or find in the manual. --Battery life isn't great, but heck, I have electricity, so I can charge it often.
Pretty Good Phone
The L1400 is a good phone but with a few things to bear in mind: PROS: --Very clear display --Easy-to-use menus and shortcuts --Big keys (a plus for those with bigger fingers --Camera works well. CONS: --Just so-so reception (LG can't seem to get the same reception as Nokia, Moto, and SE) --Bad ringtones--why can't they put cool ones on there like the ones on their CDMA phones? Overall it's a good phone. A bit pricey for not having bluetooth, but fine. I'd recommend it.
I love my 3600!
I'm a latecomer to this phone, having bought it off e-bay and knowing it's not the latest, greatest, but I absolutely love it! PROS: --Great reception that Nokia is known for --Voice quality is tops --Long battery life --Speakerphone is great --Camera & bluetooth (haven't tried BT yet) --Customizable menus --Big, readable display --Size (many think that's a con, but I like a big phone) CONS: --None I can't believe Cingular discontinued this phone, luckily GMS works with just popping in my SIM. All in all, a wonderful phone ...
Great phone!
Pros: This phone has great reception. Ringtones are fun and loud enough to hear. Good value Cons: Some menus are a bit confusing (getting text out of ITAP mode for example), but reading the manual remedied this. Screen could be a bit bigger.
Excellent Phone!
This is such a bargain (99 cents for the 3587i with 2-yr contract with Alltel)! Pros: Excellent reception and sound quality Easy to use, intuitive menus Very readable fat text Cons: No speakerphone Ringtones a bit cheesy, but I can live with it I can't say no camera or bluetooth is a con since I'm not big on those anyway, and since this is not in that league of phone--you have to rate it for what it is. And it gets the job done well, ...
SE44 Slider for Alltel--Nice
This is a really neat phone. Pros: Nice ringtones Compact design Excellent reception Cons: So-so battery life Slider gets annoying Flush keypad is tough Screen is a bit dim All in all, it's a fun little toy, but I ended up taking it back because the slider got on my nerves. I'd recommend it if you like the slider though.
Nice Entry-Level Color Flip But Some Problems
This is a decent phone. I got it when we switched to GSM. Pros: Small size (some might think this is a con) Nice color display Easy to use Can download actual song bits for ringtones (MP3s or SuperTones, not sure which) Cons: Lackluster ringtones So-so reception Had to replace after 2 months (it wouldn't charge anymore)
Great Little Phone
The 3100 is a nice little phone for the money. No, it doesn't have bluetooth or a camera, but it's in the less expensive price range also, can't deduct points for that. I feel I need to rate it for what it is and not compare it to higher-end phones. So here's my 2 cents: Pros: The battery life is amazing, the reception is very good, and the ringtones are pretty nice. Generally it has ...
