Fun & hopefully productive phone
There were several times that I felt compelled to post the very first review, but felt I owed it to the community to spend more time with the Epic before putting my thoughts down. Used many mobile phones for many years on diff. providers. Last few were: Palm Treo 600-755p, then BB Curve 8330, and finally BB Tour. Loved the BB Tour and its robust messaging, for personal & biz comm, & productivity options. If you're reading this, you've most likely read ...
Late-blooming with a transition device
I just bought a Sprint 8330. I'm a late-bloomer by choice and also know that the 2nd-half of 2009 gives me so many choices when my contract is due this Xmas. Unfortunately, life and business are taking off and I've had to scramble for a "transitional" device between my Treo 755p and my next choice of a bleeding-edge toy which I'll be chained to for the next 2 years. Here's where the Curve comes in. I got it off ...
Wanted a Pre, tried Touch Pro, not bad!
My scoop: Heavy business-oriented mobile warrior who likes SPRINT's Everything plan and disagree that SPRINT's stigma of "bad CSR's" is 100% applicable anymore-- besides, I barely call CSR. Desparate Palm fan hoping the Pre would replace my 755p which, aside from frequent reboots, has served well with the following: external KB, OS's design for 1-handed use, FREE tethering, robust PIM functions. Looking at least to improve web browsing and remote email client user experience- 755p's 90's UI and API ...
There might be hope for Palm after all...
Recent ownership history: Treo 600 (terrific phone, had some issues-- still keep as a backup PDA), Treo 700W (the worst phone *or* PDA I've ever owned), and now the Treo 700P. Coming from my 6th replaced treacherous 700W (which I decided to put up on Ebay), which I've never installed any 3rd party apps on *any* of them, other than PDANet, I was only going to give Palm one last try with their latest incarnation before I settled on the ...
Mixed Feelings
On paper, this is definitely the ultimate phone. For the light, casual user, this is ideally as close to the ultimate phone as possible. Now, for the *power* user (or maybe I'm simply not using this device correctly, despite my 4+ years of previous PocketPC PDA experience + ActiveSync and 1+ year experience with the Treo 600), the unit falls a bit short of expectations. I'll touch upon the biggest shortcomings, to me. You know what the ...
After months of usage- not for power users!
I don't think this is the worst phone in the world, nor do I think it's the best. If you're a power communicator (as I am), avoid this phone. In the future, I'm going to exhaustively try phones out in person before committing to one. In one word, this phone can be described as "quirky." Good: pocketably small; attractive silver plastic casing; very sturdy feel; strong signal; extendable antenna does boost signal; no camera! (clients like this); nothing fancy ...
Has Nokia's QC gone down?
The service I used with this phone is a sad story (1st year of AT&T GSM deployment) and is not a factor in my review of the phone unit itself. The Good! This no-nonsense phone exhibits the usual Nokia "easy-to-use" features, such as one-button phonebook access, raised, clearly separated, and easy-to-feel keys (at least true with the older phones), ability to dial numbers in txt msgs, excellent menus, excellent FM radio feature, nice games (Nokia Bowl is addictive), and a decent ...
Solid Camera Phone Contender
Just my small way of giving back to Phonescoop for all the research it's helped me. Capitalizing on VZN's 14-day try-out period, I decided to select try this phone out first because of its speakerphone, its size, its weight, and its signal strength. Priority: Find good phone for signal, sound clarity, and usability first (think traveling businessman); bells and whistles secondary. Pros: Extremely solidly built phone physically. Resembles the SGH-S105 in many ways, build-wise. Sound quality a bit ...
