Want a great phone with loads of features? This is it, I have been very happy with this phone. It is a camera phone loaded with additional features. It is small and lightweight, fits easily into your pocket and comfortable to hold. Packed with great features this phone is wonderful. Camera phone that is capable of sending pictures to either other phones or to an online photo journal. A FM radio, that works great and enables you to listen to local radio stations easily. A voice recorder to make short notes with, or even record your own ring tones simply and easily.
Want a phone that is Bluetooth capable? This is it; with the ability to add Bluetooth pieces to talk and transmit information with this phone has almost everything you could wish for. Internet is also available on the phone so you can surf the web even while out shopping or walking around.
Keeping in contact something that is important to you? If so this phone offers ICQ, Yahoo, MSN and AOL messengers all wrapped up into a nice neat little package making it very simple to stay in contact with all of your online contacts. Make sure you sign up for a text message package through your cell provider and your ready to go and text everyone on your list no matter where you are.
Like the idea of voice dialing? This phone includes that as well, simply program your contacts to dial the number by speaking the contacts chosen nickname that you give them and it will automatically dial the number for you quickly. This is wonderful for those who use the phone a lot in the car or when they are unable to use their hands.
Other standard features that most phones include are also here, from an organizer, to a calculator, phone book, calendar, and a couple of games. Nothing is left undone in this phone that is a great improvement over basics. However, for those who really like their phones to have video this phone is capable of recording short video clips! How great is it to be able to take a quick video of that awesome once in a life time moment and send it to your friends or family? As someone who has done this and used this feature a lot it is something that I love a lot.
Nothing is better than being at work and my husband sending me a cute little short video of something our children are doing at home. This is something that many people really love, and this phone includes this and it is so simple to do. Point, click, and record the video then simply enter the phone number to send it to. How much better can you get?
Other features of the phone are the groups; this allows you to set multiple people to have the same options by adding them to the same group, which saves time. This is wonderful for putting all work contacts and family into different folders. This helps make things much easier if you are trying to quickly add contacts and want specific settings for when you receive a call, or text message from a contact.
While the groups feature does take a little while to actually set up if you are as meticulous as I am, it is a great time saver once it is set up. Adding a new contact is as easy as entering the phone number, add the name and select which group if any you want it added to, the ring tone and message tone are then automatically set based upon which group they are placed into. Quick and simple, as well as changing the group ring tone is simple as well, instead of having to change the ring tone for multiple people one person at a time.
The phone has the ability to use profiles that control the overall behavior of the phone as well. It also includes two custom profiles’ that allow you to completely create your own profile. What is a profile you ask? It is the volume of the ring tone, the volume of the message tone, whether or not the phone vibrates, or beeps, as well as the keypad tones, and your voice message alerts. This is a great feature and I use it at least daily.
Different preconfigured profiles include Normal, Silent, Meeting, and Outdoor. Keep in mind there are two that are blank that you are able to construct from scratch, as well as the ability to modify any existing profile to your personal preference. While the games included could be better, I suspect the games vary based upon cell provider.
Another great feature to this phone is the themes. This allows you to easily change the screen saver, wallpaper, mini wallpaper, and ring tones all in one simple click. Most cell providers also provide additional themes that you can download. Prices and themes do vary however, depending upon the provider.
I purchased this phone from T-Mobile to go with my cell service from them and have been very happy. Whether all cell companies offer it or not I do not know, but the SIM card feature that their phones include is awesome, it gives the ability to program your phone number, and contacts onto a card that you can quickly and easily switch from one phone to another. If my phone breaks, I can just simply insert my SIM chip into another phone and be up and functional again with no downtime.
Overall, I would have to say that I have been very happy with this phone. I would have to admit that I am very happy as well with the stability of the phone. My battery has never been fully discharged, I have been unable to actually drain the battery, I have allowed the phone to go up to a week without recharging the battery, and it still was not dead. This isn’t idle time either, I am on the phone a lot each day and the battery still holds up under the stress and pressure I put it under.
I would definitely recommend this phone it is a reasonably priced phone that is full of features and very stable. Definitely, a phone worth looking into next time you go phone shopping. |
