Looks Cool but Truly Disapointing

 

Dec 15, 2012 by Ridley

I got this phone a year ago after some kid stole my phone on a bus at first I was really impressed with the look of it & some of the features were very nice but I dropped it (one foot fall from a small box to the floor) & suddenly the the phone would power off in the middle of browsing the Internet & in the middle of phone calls & power off without warning

Pros: easy to text, great music player, plugs into regular headphones & into car speakers jack,

Cons: flimsy not durable, slow internet connection, doesn't play receieve or download videos, beware if you drop it from a short distance the screen will turn white & then black to indicate it has powered off, for some reason if you call phone chatlines it disconnects after 30 minutes of talking

Great backup and multimedia phone

 

Apr 16, 2020 by N And N Jenney   updated Apr 16, 2020

I got this phone in a lot and used it as a backup phone for almost a year. It is a great backup phone and multimedia device!

Pros:
- Good Bluetooth support, accepts all files
- Nice design, I like the red D-Pad
- MicroUSB charger, not horribly slow
- Battery life lasts about a week with around 10min - 1hr of usage per day
- Non expireable demo games
- Good messaging and calling, supports MMS
- Customizable menu
- Smooth picture viewer
- Menu interface not too slow

Cons:
- No EMS support
- Background image doesn't display correctly (It zooms in but not all the way)
- No native SMAF or WMA support (Have to rename to MIDI or MP3)
- If you smack the phone hard enough, the phone will turn off for a few seconds then turn back on saying "USB cable disconnected" or whatever (I fixed this by putting a piece of thick paper under the back cover)
- No themes, stuck with green and black
- If you view a sent or draft message it automatically goes into edit mode instead of displaying it like a regular message
- Bad camera for a high end feature phone (0.3mp)

This is one of the best multimedia devices I've ever used! It has a super awesome music player where not only it supports the useral controls, it supports album info and art, equaliser, playlists, background play and my favorite feature, it supports a LOT of formats! It supports MP3, WAV, ACC, MIDI and you additionally get with renameing it to .mid or .mp3, SMAF and WMA! And yes, it fully supports SMAF, not just choppy support like with the LG EnV3! It also supports micro SD card and 3.5mm headphones! Best music player in a feature phone ever!

Btw, i don't know nor care about the reception since the phone is deactivated.

All in all, I definitely recommend this phone if you want a great music player and a good multimedia device! I will continue to use this as my backup phone until it breaks!
