for the Samsung Epic 4G (Galaxy S):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 ...

for the BlackBerry Curve 8330: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 ...

for the HTC Touch Pro (CDMA):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 ...

for the Palm Treo 700p: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 ...

for the Palm Treo 700w / 700wx: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 ...

for the Samsung SCH-A530: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 ...

for the Nokia 6590 / 6590i: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 ...

for the Audiovox CDM-8900: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 ...
