p207 mini review

Ordered my p207 online on Tuesday and received it Thursday without any problems. Called cingular and got my new sim card activated and everything is good to go. First impressions of the phone are pretty good so far. It feels very sturdy. The flip feels extremely sturdy. The camera seems to take decent pics for 640x480. I wasn't expecting much with a phone camera though, and I didn't buy it for the camera. Reception seems to be ok. Im still not able to get a signal in my office, but I never have with my other moto t720 either. I think it's something to do with the gsm network as my coworker with an alltel cdma phone gets 3 bars and no problems making or receiving calls. The only cons I have run across so far is that the speaker does...

what inquiring minds would like to know more about is the speaker-to-text feature. does it work better than expected or should we wait for a better phone with a more advanced technology?

thanks!

I haven't tried that out yet. To tell you the truth, I've never even used the text message features on any of my phones. I have used the voice dialing and voice commands on the 207 and that seems to work pretty well. There is some way to get the phone to learn your voice, saying words in the mic that appear on the screen, and that is supposed to help the voice recognition alot. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I had to order mine over the phone because I live in Northern Kentucky. It forces me to the Cincinnati coverage area (as expected) but because my billing information is in Kentucky, the website gives me an error stating that my address is for a different coverage area, so nobody from Northern Kentucky can order from the web (yeah!).

Anyway, over the phone I asked about a belt clip and was able to order them for the three new P207 phones I'm getting and was able to do so ($14.95). I didn't ask about a pouch style holster because I was after belt clips, but you may want to call their regular phone ordering line to see if they have them available. Even the belt clips weren't showing on the web, but I was able to order them over the phone....

How much did you have to pay when ordering over the phone?

The online price is $79.99, is the price different over the phone?

I understood even beforehand that their service was crap, but good coverage with bad service beats bad coverage with good service in my book. Verizon isn't an option for some of the places I regularly go, so it's almost Cingular by default.

How is the battery life? The call quality? Earpiece volume?

Would you recommend the p207 over my other option (the SE Z500a)??

As far as battery life, it's too soon to really tell. I killed 75% of it the first day, but I was playing around with it for hours at a time....inputting my contacts, playing with different settings, messing around with the games, ringtones, etc... The earpiece volume is great and call quality seems to be quite a bit better than my previous t720. Sorry I can't compare it to the z500 as I've never had one. I was also torn between the p207 and z500, but went with the 207 for it's smaller size, looks, and better screens.

All three of my P207 phones and belt clips shipped out via FedEx today and should be in Wednesday. I'll be anxious to get them unpacked, charged up, and providing initial feedback. Looking forward to it!

How is the speech to txt msg feature? This seems like the best selling point of the phone.
