1 great...just fine.
if you're looking for a good basic phone, then this phone would work perfect for you. don't listen to the negitive reviews.
it's light, nice style, and very easy to use and extreamly cheap. if you want to save money, then this would fit u perfect. i have an ipod and a great digital cam, so who needs mp3 or cam feature. use your phone as a phone and look cool too...great phone right here.
2 Not as good as our old one
I don't plan to use the internet features of this phone. I wish it was sturdier. It cuts in and out way worse than our old one. You can't squish it to your head and the headset is unnerving to use in a room with other people. If you treat your phone really nice, only talk outdoors and for short periods of time, this might be just right.
3 A starter's best choice, but....
I no longer picks up my phone, because I never hear it ring,nor do I feel it viberate! The short cut bottom on the side of the phone switches it from viberate to loud ring, or the opposite way with no regard to your wish. I have had trouble hearing the ring on the street, quieting down its sudden burst in the concert hall is challenging as well, although the "old-fashioned" ring tone is really cool. :-) This is about the major shortcoming of this phone, but this shortcoming happens to be a major function and discipline of a cell-phone. Battery life is quite short - I only use the phone max 10 minutes a day, and I must charge it every other day, otherwise it dies with no warning.
3 very good thing about this phone: it's light, picks up good signal, and it's fast.
I wish the display is a little more attractive, and I don't have to flip the phone open to see who is calling, and easier in-put method. Besides that, it's a practical basic phone with good price.
4 Amazon is great.. phone is great, just say away from AT&T
WARNING: AT&T representatives ("Dawn: R361" and "Max: N360") themselves said during my troubleshooting (as detailed below) that I should NOT have bought through Amazon, and that they have received a barrage of complaints from Amazon buyers! I still really like Amazon, but they're integration with AT&T is non existent. People should not have to wait 2-3 days for service after they receive the phone. Buy the same phone on Amazon, but a different carrier.
5 Okay, but...
I do like this phone a lot. I use it just as a phone, no internet. It's small, light and easy to use. However, there is a button on the side that turns the phone settings from a ring to a vibrate mode. I can never seem to get my husband on his phone because that button gets pushed and it doesn't ring. Which kinda defeats the purpose of a cell phone, if he doesn't get the call. I haven't been able to figure out a way to over-ride that button. Everyone does like the ring though, it has an old-fashioned phone ring to it.
6 Hmm...
Considering how cheap this phone is, I'm not giving it two stars. However, the low price factor does reflect on the phone itself. The phone doesn't have a color screen or support Java. It has limited features overall.
Also, I'm not sure if this is a common problem, but I have trouble connecting a call pretty often. I need to turn the phone "off", then "on" to solve this. The phone doesn't work nearly as well indoors as my Nokia 3595 did.
Let's see... can I say anything positive? Well, this phone is one of the cheapest around. It is also very thin and light and from a few feet away, looks no worse than those $400 camera phones.
But if ATT is offering a free phone with a contract, I suggest you get the Nokia 3595 instead. I had a much better experience with it, until I dropped it in water :(
7 Great Little Phone
I just got this phone last week. So far I'm happy with all available features. It lacks a color display, but I knew that before buying it. What I'm most impressed with is the ability to download my Outlook information into the phone. Can you imagine having to take time to manually transfer over 100 names, numbers, addresses, etc.?
The phone is very tiny and lightweight in size. It truly is no larger or heavier than a large pack of chewing gum. Additionally, I'm able to get all accessories off ebay, for a steal. Honestly, never buy accessories from the store.
So far, service has been great. I'm with AT&T wireless (former coverage with US Cellular until their switch). The GSM is much better in clarity than the previous TDMA (at least under AT&T Wireless; under US Cellular I NEVER had problems, even with TDMA, but that's a whole other story).
I recommend this phone if all you want it something to stay in touch. The price I paid ($25) plus the ability to download from Outlook was a no brainer for me. Two thumbs up.
