Quickfire GTX 75 Unlocked GSM Cell Phone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this phone for a reduced price almost a year ago with a new contract from ATT. Really wish I had got the Matrix that my brother chose that was for free.
I HATE THIS PHONE!
1. Touch screen is either unresponsive or chooses the wrong "button." More than half the time it chooses an icon on the opposite side of the screen!
2. Battery life sucks! I have to charge it every night with very little use. If I use the phone how I'd like to (moderately heavy use) then I have to have it fully charged, charge again in the afternoon, and charge again at night.
3. The phone doesn't recognize when you set an individual ringtone for people in your address book. Tried to update my software (an option in the settings) to fix it, which kept saying "FAILED TO CONNECT."
4. After about 4 months I had a software glitch in which caused my phone to turn off when choosing my txt msg inbox. So I got a replacement phone with the insurance program. I THOUGHT that the previous software problems would be fixed (see #3). No such luck!
5. Phone fails to recognize the music/pictures on my SD card. The phone sometimes allows me to transfer info from my phone to the SD card but not usually.
6. Charger is set up completely STUPID! The two prongs have been bent from my having to charge it so much. Now I have to slide the charger in at an angle and push one prong into place so it will charge. Also sometimes the phone recognizes the charger as a USB Cable and won't charge until it recognizes that it's really a charger. Also the charger falls out easily and wiggles in the phone and everytime the charger wiggles a message pops up that says "Charger Connected" or "Charger Disconnected" which is really annoying when you're responding to a text or looking for something online while charging the phone.
7. There is no WiFi option to connect to a faster network when available. And 3G won't turn off so I can have the battery last a little bit longer.
8. Messages often have the wrong timestamp, or are displayed in the wrong order. Phone doesn't even receive most of the messages I receive from my friend's Moto Cliq. All the pictures I receive from Moto Cliq are shown as a black screen.
9. Speaker phone is very quiet and the mic isn't strong enough for the other person to hear you when on speakerphone. I have never dropped this phone, never gotten it wet, and never been rough with it. I got a case for it same day as purchase. All of the problems I've had with this phone were for my original phone and my replacement phone (wish I'd been able to choose a different replacement). I've gone into several ATT stores to see if there was a way I could get the software update, or if they'd ever heard of any problems. Finally a nice guy names eric checked the customer complaints for the phone. Apparently, tons of people have the same software and ringtone assignment problems. He said ATT no longer carries the phone for sale so they have no intention of fixing the problem.
NEVER EVER GET THIS PHONE!
DON'T EVEN GIVE IT TO YOUR ENEMY! It's that bad! Thank heavens my upgrade is next week, I can't wait to smash and burn this phone, because it's not even worth donating.

Nokia C3-00 Unlocked Cell Phone with QWERTY, Dedicated E-mail Key, 2 MP Camera, Media Player, WLAN, and MicroSD Slot--U.S. Version with Warranty (Slate) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a college student who was in desperate need of a new cell phone after my old one stopped working. Because of that I wanted to buy a phone truly worth the money, and one that would last.
For someone who isn't willing to pay for 3G service, but still wants internet, and a modern looking phone, THIS is the perfect cell phone. Phones like this are very hard to come by because most do require data packages (the ones considered smartphones anyway). I can't say how it compares to a smartphone having never owned one, but for someone like me it's perfect.
- QWERTY keyboard is well spaced, text messaging capabilities are wonderful
- WIFI! Can I stress how important this is? It's probably the best feature of the phone. Wi-Fi is pretty much everywhere nowadays, so why buy a smartphone when you can get a phone with Wi-Fi capabilities for a much lower price, and without having to buy a data plan?
I've had it for about 3 weeks now and I have absolutely no complaints. The battery lasts about 3-4 days and that's with a good number of hours using it (mostly texting or listening to music).
So if you want to buy something definitely worth the money that not only functions great but LOOKS great, this is the phone for you. Best $120 I ever spent!

LG GR500 Xenon LCD Display Replacement Part Screen OEM Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The screen was in great condition and I had no problems with it plus they sent me a free plastic pry tool which they said was not included. I think the Screens are not brand new it looks like they remove them from other phones but mine still worked great. The only thing I was disappointed about was that I paid for the 2-3 day shipping and it took almost a week. I would definitely recommend getting this if you need a replacement screen for the LG Xenon.

Samsung B3310 Unlocked Cell Phone with 2 MP Camera (Jade Green) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For starters, the description was very vague, which was a problem for me. I'm an At&t customer that broke my phone so this was going to be a replacement for me. My sim card worked fine in the phone. I was able to call, text, and set my ringtones the way I wanted. The only problem is this phone is NOT a U.S phone. My provider couldn't set up the internet for me. So if you don't have a data package and don't use this service, the phone is great. There is a facebook and myspace app but you can't get on those sites. So that's what I found out about this phone.

AT&T Quickfire GTX75 Cell Phone Orange Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this phone and loved it, until the touch screen stopped working. When I called AT&T they informed me that it was recalled in 2009. There is nothing they can do for you either, so don't even waste your money. It will work for a few months and then NOTHING. Now I am out the money. Amazon should take this item off it's site.

T-Mobile Sidekick 4G Android Phone, Pearl Magenta (T-Mobile) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am not a former Sidekick user and I have never used Android before - had a Blackberry. This phone has been great - had it for a week. I tried the Motorola phone, but Motoblue would not work with my corp email.
Pros for me:
- Works perfectly with Exchange active sync (EAS) for corporate email, including calendar and GAL.
- Works perfectly with Yahoo and a POP server for personal email.
- Has nice layout, but I added widgets to get what I wanted. Made it look more like the Mot to be honest.
- The camera and video look great and it is easy to hold with one or both hands.
- Has a trackball that works with the keyboard - like the blackberry. That is great. Beats trying to position by keys or your finger. Keyboard is really nice and easy to use with one or both hands.
- Screen is beautiful. Very clean looking and nice colors.
- Although plastic, feels very solid. Much lighter than the Mot.
- Sound quality is good through speaker and works well with Bluetooth - no disruption when doing things on screen.
Cons for me:
- No flash on camera and only 3MP. Picture look good, but this means no zoom. Autofocus is good but slow.
- No desk charging dock - I hope one becomes available eventually.
I think it is an excellent example of a touch+keyboard phone with a good slider (tilt up and slide really) and a good starting set of apps.
UPDATE: someone complained about the screen in sunlight and I was concerned about this too. But, if you go to settings.display, you can set it to automatically adjust to light (uses forward facing camera) and then it works fine in bright light. Of course, the black background (supposed to be for power savings) of the newer Android makes it harder since the contrast of light on dark is not nearly as good as dark on light. But, this is an android problem. I am hopeful they will make it easy to change this via theme-changer or other control. Right now, you have to edit XML files to fix that.

Body Glove Glove Snap On Case for PCD GTX75 Quickfire Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The problem with this case has less to do with the case than the general size of the phone it protects. The case fits well and offers pretty decent protection without obstructing the slide, though it does impinge a little bit on the touch screen. Unfortunately it is just too bulky, making the Quickfire just too large to comfortably carry around in a pocket (if one could say it was ok for that to begin with).
If you are stuck with the Quickfire and need a case for it, this is the one to get. But do yourself a favor and ditch this phone if you can for something that works a lot better.

Samsung Blackjack i607 Unlocked GSM Phone with 1.3MP Camera, QWERTY Keyboard and Memory Card Slot--U.S. Version without Warranty (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Some of the other reviewers mentioned that you do not get a camera with it. When I first ordered it, I was freaking out thinking it would not come with one. However, the one I got was a official Samsung Blackjack and came with the camera and had everything it was supposed to (Perhaps some of the sellers were sending out knockoff phones? No idea). Everything was brand new, although it came in a generic AT&T Box with 1 battery, USB cable, and charger. It did not come with a driver CD, however (Although the drivers can be easily be found online).
As for the actual phone, it is a very decent upgrade to my Razor V3. The picture quality is pretty decent, and you can put up to a additional 2GB in the phone via the SD Card slot on the side. You can also upgrade it to Windows Mobile 6, which you can get for free by going to the Samsung website and follow the FAQ in the i607 section. The sound quality is pretty decent, and the range of games is just what I was looking for. It might not be able to handle full 3D games all the way, but it does a good job on most of the 2D games. The menus can be a little confusing at times, and the phone is a little older, but look at this if you want to get a no-contract phone on the cheap without going through a phone provider.

(More customer reviews)I have at&T and I had this model with them, but unfortunetley I dropped it pretty hard and broke it, but I love this phone, the features are great and I use the media player in the gym to listen to my music.
