Nothing but trouble!!

Overall Rating:
1.8 out of 5
By: Aaron Ragsdale on Tuesday, June 10, 2008
From: Tulsa, OK (United States)
Experience: 6 Months
Pros: It works for about 5-6 months.

Cons: CID/LCD go out all the time!

Summary: I have had my phone for about 6 months, and have had nothing but trouble. First the CID or outside screen went out. Then shortly after that approx. 3 months later the inside LCD went out. Followed by the entire phone quit working. I had it fixed once by a repair shop, then less than 2 weeks later it all happenend again. I'm sure you could find a much more dependable phone for 300 dollars. I hate this phone, it has been nothing but trouble for me

Good Phone!

By: Lee Hubbert on Thursday, July 26, 2007
From: New Albany, MS (United States)
Experience: 7 Days
Pros: This phone has several great features like the LCD screen on the front changes colors everytime you open or close it. Also, battery life is great and the sound quality is very good. I liked that the phone came with a choice of two changeable faceplates - red and blue. Good camera and camcorder too for an inexpensive phone.

Cons: Ringtones can only be downloaded through the AXXESS feature or sent through text messages. The bluetooth feature will not transfer music or ringtones. Also, there is an MP3 player on the phone but you can't use the songs on it as ringtones--as far as I know and I have tried everything.

Summary: I am satisfied with the phone!
