Kyocera Zio, It's a start.
I just got the phone in today, and I'm already noticing some flaws. First thing I noticed, is there is no heptic feedback when touching the Home, Menu, Back, and Search buttons. This is irritating cause when you are in an app, and want to go home, you can't tell whether or not you hit the button correctly. Second thing I noticed is that the screen with the stock keyboard, it's extremely hard to type. I just downloaded Better Keyboard, that seems to have fixed the problem for now. The call and end call buttons feel fake. like if you push them too hard, they will brake the entire phone. But this is just my first day with the phone. So let's see how it is when I have had the phone for longer than a couple hours.
GREAT ANDROID FOR THE $$ SERVICE???
I travel to Dayton ohio alot for my job., I live near Columbus Ohio. Visited the Cricket store and decided the purchase the Zio.
The phone its self is really good. Clear calls, sms, mms, internet usage is Good for Cricket. Tho I live far away enough that I need to use wifi in my home,,no issues.
It's really a nice step for Cricket. It's the best high end phone they have.
I've read the complaints about cricket customer service over the phone and online purchases. Not good for Cricket.
I go to the Cricket retail store in Dayton. The reps are friendly and are very helpful. To avoid issues,, I suggest going to the store for any issues you have. Buy your phone at the store.
I purchased a walmart moneycard and load it with my checking account for free. Its better than signing up for auto pay. Alot of issues with people doing that,,over charges..
Overall for those who are in Cricket service areas,, Its worth the investment for an android phone.
Pocket NE FOREVER!!!
When Pocket New England gets this baby were gonna be breakin necks and cashin checks! Ive had face time w/ it and i loved the idea of a droid w/ a trackball. Feels good man. The idea is 1. Get lots of Zio's 2. Sell em with no contracts on unlimited networks 3. ????? 4. Profit!!!
