dont get this phone

Overall Rating:
2.8 out of 5
By: melissa melissa on Sunday, February 24, 2008
From: sacramento, CA (United States)
Experience: 7 Months
Pros: Loud phone. mp3 player. popular phone but not worth it.

Cons: Expensive, skinny, flat, easy to break, buttons are stupid and flat. has a ringing noise when u put it close to your ear. if u dont believe me watch listen to it. its like buzz buzz buzz. very annoying. doesnt have flash so if you want a clear pic take it in the light. it doesnt have a lot of memory on the phone itself so u have to get a memory card.

Summary: It was a waste of money only reason i got this phone was because the phone i had before stop making it. so they offered me this phone. only lasted like 7 months. i mean everything worked but out of no where it wouldnt let me read my memory card nor listen to my music. it was the phone because my memory card worked fine on my computer. anyway i got a new phone. my new phone is the kyocera E2000. i rated that one too. i like my new phone.

Experience: 2 Days
Pros: Mobile IM, Internet, pretty much everythong!

Cons: Nothing at the moment

Summary: I have only used this for about 2 days, but I love it! I would not want another phone. Th baterry stays charged, charged within 5 min after it came with a preloaded battery. I so recommend it!

From: mt vernon, OH (United States)
Experience: 7 Months
Pros: It does what it say it will do. easy to handle

Cons: Plastic bumpers started coming off 5 months into use. Motorolar says it's not a defect.

Summary: Great phone. I have had to send it back for replacement 2 times. 2nd time I had to give up $50 for the deductable.
Increase the battery life by turn off all beeps and tone down the contrast of the screen.

Gold razr rocks

Overall Rating:
4.7 out of 5
By: Alex E on Thursday, December 27, 2007
From: Indianapolis, IN (United States)
Experience: 90 Days
Pros: It has a ton of memory (i.e. lots of phone book entries, pictures, videos, etc.)

Cons: Sometimes, it randomly turns off when I try to access my calendar or alarm; otherwise, it's great!

Summary: This is a great phone and a major upgrade from my previous one. There's really nothing I can complain about other than it turning off every 50th time I attempt to access my calendar (but really no big deal)...

Don't waste your time!

Overall Rating:
2.2 out of 5
By: Whit J. on Tuesday, November 13, 2007
From: Omaha, NE (United States)
Experience: 6 Months
Pros: Nothing really...the ringtones are loud enough for you to hear them.

Cons: My phone had a humming sound in the earpiece ALL the time. You can't have a "custom" greeting if you have a selected picture/screensaver background, the screen is hard to keep clean, it freezes up at times when you are in the middle of a text message.

Summary: Don't 'buy' into all the hype, it's not worth it, had mine for 6 months and then passed it on to my sister.

DO NOT GET THIS PHONE

Overall Rating:
2.3 out of 5
By: Julie McCue on Wednesday, October 31, 2007
From: Mastic Beach, NY (United States)
Experience: 2 Months
Pros: Terrible

Cons: Terrible

Summary: This phone is horrible. I’ve had Verizon for only 3 months and I’m on my 2nd replacement for this phone. The battery is horrible and it freezes on all of the time. It’s slow as slow can be and it doesn’t have a whole lot of features on it. Don’t let the look fool you it’s the worst phone I have every owned and now I am stuck with it for another 7 months unless I want to pay another 200 something dollars to a new one!!. Horrible and aggrevating

Unique Phone

Overall Rating:
4.6 out of 5
By: Michael Rivera on Saturday, September 22, 2007
From: Bronx, NY (United States)
Experience: 14 Months
Pros: Battery life on this phone is very efficient
Bluetooth compatibility is great as well.
Camera/videos are extremely clear
Big screen makes taking videos/pics very easy
64 MB microsd card is included with this phone (LOTS OF PICTURES/VIDEOS) (Adapter Included!!)
Cool Games (consume battery life after about 30 minutes with the games)
Digital Audio Player
Excellent Dolce & Gabbana Ringtones/Wallpapers
Came with a USB cable for data transfers.

Cons: May get scratched easily, I've had the phone for a little more than a year now and haven't dropped it yet so I wouldn't know.

May get stolen because this phone can catch anyone's eye

Voice Records can't be stored on the phone, only sent via message.

Camera still has the motorola setback (you click the wonderful picture and hit store, then you need to go four buttons down to actually store it)

Way too expensive: 350 dollars (but worth it)

Summary: On the whole, this is a very unique phone. The features may be similar to the regular RAZR, however the style/ringtones/clarity of use make this hot on the market. I would definitely recommend this phone

Its more comfortable to hold than normal RAZRs as well :-)

3.8 out of 5
By: Earle Kelchner on Saturday, September 15, 2007
From: Mechanicsville, VA (United States)
Experience: 7 Days
Pros: Slim, lightweight, nice buttons, excellent display both inside and out. Clear sound - people ask all the time, are you there? Like it pretty well.

Cons: You can only add 2 mp3 ringtones or you kill the alarm clock functions

Summary: Not bad. Liked the V3m better, it had a memory slot and the alarm clock didn't freeze up. Good phone though.

    LG Lotus (Sprint) - Photos

    Hey, look what just came!  Thanks, Vanessa ;-)  Here are some photos of the black LG Lotus for Sprint.  The QWERTY board feels GREAT so far, as those bubbled chiclet-style keys make up for the relatively small size of the layout.  Sprint's new One Click UI is sort of cool and helpful and sort of overdone; I'll have to play with it more, but I hope it winds up being handier more often than it gets in the way.  And I'm...

    Might this be a peek into our near-term future?  I hope so.  You're looking at the HTC T8290, a shiny, sleek, badass looking piece of kit from HTC destined for Russia's Yota network. What's neat about this device, besides its obvious good looks, is that it packs both GSM and WiMax connectivity so you can get your voice and high-speed data on in style.  There's a 3.8", 800 x 480 hi-res display for all of that content you'll be...

    First off, how cool is it that HTC dropped some significant cell phone news on the blogosphere via Twitter the other day?  I'm not saying Twitter itself is/isn't cool, but rather that it's neat to see a tech company innovate when it comes to communicating with the media.  Particularly so a tech company that uses the word "Innovation" in their marketing materials. Second, my post about the possibility of the HTC Touch HD coming to...

    Sidekick on steroids: First user review of T-Mobile G1 surfaces

    User review of G1

    An Android Community user - and T-Mobile Store Manager in Florida, apparently - who goes by kaziko has posted the first user review of T-Mobile's G1 Android phone.  The review - which takes the form of an ongoing forum thread - is summarized nicely in this post if you don't care to dive into the 11+ page thread. Of course, if you do there's text galore to tide you over until those G1s start shipping on the 22nd. So what's kaziko...

    Hands-Free: Driving with both earbuds in is NOT okay

    Driving with both earbuds

    For the past few weeks I've been considering writing a post about how California's law against driving while holding a cell phone has done pretty much nothing to curb the habit - at least in the Oakland/Berkeley area where I live and work.  Yesterday on my bike ride home from the office I figured out why I hadn't penned the post yet.  The law has done something, I think.  Sure, I still see at least three drivers with cellies in...

I've never paid much attention to VoIP because I've gotten so used to being mobile, 100% of the time. I went to my local T-Mobile store to check it out, and saw that they were pushing it as the hot new product. The service is $10 a month for unlimited calls, to anywhere in...
