Summary: What A Turd!
Review: Dear Consumer,
Run for your very life. I am the bewildered owner of this crappy cell phone. This device is the modern equivalent of, well, (insert your favorite torcher device here.) The heinous organization and navigation of the phone book, and the various settings menus is enough to make your teary with insanity. Even the ring tones (when the phone actually rings that is) are horribly ear piercing. Friends call and the neighborhood dogs cower. You even have to set the clock on the phone, WTF?! (I know clock setting my sound like a crappy gripe, but it was impossible to figure out how to set the clock.) Oh yeah, and don't expect to make more than one call on a charge because two minutes into your second call you will be deafened by the chime that ends your call as the battery falls as dead as a bucket of fried chicken.

Summary: no fancy gadgets but a great phone.
Review: glad i got this phone. reception is very good, i've never had to step outside to get a signal. i got my phone and service contract through letstalk.com and they actualy paid me 50 bucks to take the phone (because of the $50 rebate). this phone doesn't have any spiffy features but do you really a color screen and a camera? so i guess this is a phone for us practical types.

Summary: Best for the buck!
Review: I agree with the last reviewer. Unless you are trading on the stockmarket or are 15 years old, this phone offers you all you need and then some. The features are easy to use and that blue backlight? Yeah, it's bright enough that I regularly use my phone as a flashlight.

Summary: just the basics please
Review: I bought this phone with a T-Mobile package and have yet to be disappointed.

PROS:
-Lightweight
-Great blue backlight--extremely bright for that wow factor
-Indicator light can change color based on who is calling, very cool
-Easy menus
-Plenty of options for a grown up that doesn't require all the bells and whistles like the newest pop icon's song for a ringtone...although I'm sure that's available for more money...

CONS
-Numbers are a little small and tough to dial with fat fingers
-Plastic covering for socket where you plug in the charger is really dumb design...about the size of tic-tac and not attached
-Battery life is not as long as advertised
-Silent mode resets to ring when youmake a call and have to continually reset it to silent mode

Overall. I'm happy with the phone and reccomend it to people who want a new phone but don't care about all the doodads that a 15-yr old might want. This is just an early review...feel free to email me later for an update.

Summary: Good deal, good phone
Review: I got this phone for free with my plan, and its a decent phone. The best feature is AIM, which I love, but it's free, so you can't expect any outstanding features. If you're looking for a good deal and don't care about the camera or color screen, this phone is for you. But if you want the features, spend the money on a better one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent phone
Review: I got this phone when my I dropped my motorolla v66 in the river! This is a great phone for people who live in areas where the tMobile signal is weak (like me in Ann Arbor, MI). I love this phone. I could not speak from home before with my v66, but that has changed now. The sound quality is unbelievable. Very very crisp and clear, even with 1 line of the signal.

The ring tone is nice and low profile. The blue back light is cool. The address book is good. The vibrate tone is a bit motor like, but is liveable. It is as small as a flip phone but is ergonomic. The number buttons are out and accessible, unlike models where they are embedded in the phone. The only features I use (and want in a phone) is good sound quality even when the phone shows 1 line of signal, the organizer and scheduler, the calendar and the phone book. I am extemely happy with my choice on all these counts. Of course the price is the best!

Rating: 4 stars
