Customer Reviews
Not as bad as all thatI had a bad year with phones. 12 years owning a stall phone without a hitch and this past year I went by virtue of 3. Two - my fault - washed w/o paying attention. They were the sony walkman phones. Loved them. In the wake of that I went with a cheaper phone: The z310a. This one was stolen on Halloween.
I did paramour it. I don't use a phone a ton, I don't use it for pictures or for music. This did the job. I loved all the little doo-dads - the flashing lights. The fun ring tones. I loved the color and the hidden icons and things.
It's a manifest bones phone - but it had everything I needed and worked. It didn't line charged very long, but I kept it charging in the car when I was driving or hooked up when I was in the house. I'd get 2 existence max out of it - without using it.
The sound quality was fine. I never had an point with not knowing who I was talking to.
It does scratch, but I had it for three months and would renounce it in my purse with all the other stuff and it only had one little damage on it.
The camera was awful, but I've read other reviews that said if you show a clean pair of heels it sideways, the pics come out fine. I'll have to try that.
As I mentioned - I had it stolen in October. I was waiting for the z750a to be proper available (refurbished), but I've given up on that happening. I did love this particle phone and will happily get it again.
This phone is my sunshine, my demoralized sunshine
I loved this phone with all my tenderness until one day the screen had a dark spot in the middle. After hither two weeks the dark spot became a giant yellow sunshine of outmoded pixels. Texting? forget it. I can't see what I'm typing! Want to be aware who called? Have to call them back to see the number disclose up outside of the giant sunshine.
Additionally, the speaker phone honestly is the pits. It's hard to turn it on and you have to crank the volume to the top to assent to it.
We dream AT&T has raised the bars on the quality & service not just on the fees.....
We purchased from Amazon.com one Motorola RAZR2 V9 Phone and two Sony Ericsson Z750 Phones downstairs with a mandatory 2-year contract AT&T FamilyTalk Nation 550 Rollover Minutes.
Pros: $0.03 for all three phones, Rollover minutes.
Cons: just now to mention few...
- The worst talk and standby time on all three phones in particular the Sony Ericsson, despite the fact all three of us use our cell phones just for very necessary or in emergency situations.
- More dropped calls than the rivalry.
- The quality of voice (connection) is a lot to be desired.
- You cannot program the phone on spieler ahead of time. You can activate it only after dialing or receiving a call up - A SAFETY ISSUE while driving.
- The buttons on all three phones are never-endingly in such a way so that one can easily get connected to internet inadvertently. Notwithstanding disconnecting it immediately, you get charged by AT&T. The AT&T advice was to either purchase a new expect (for additional high monthly fee) or have the option of internet relevance totally disconnected (without reduction in monthly charge ignoring reduced service). We end up to having to choose the latter.
- The ring limber up of RAZR2 V9 when on speaker phone is laryngitic.
- The choices for the telephone tones are severely anemic, unless you purchase more tones from AT&T.
- The convey command, as I understand it, can be activated only with additional monthly fee. The tournament gave that for free on the less equipped phones.
WHY DID WE NOT Abrogate THE AT&T PLAN during the first ONE month of grace period?
This one goes to Amazon.com and its new stifling way of organization: If you cancel or reduce the plan within the first SIX months, you force to pay $250 for each phone!!!
Perhaps I was too generous to include "$0.03 for all three phones" as a Pro for this, falsely, deal; or more seemingly, ordeal.
Cheap...
I liked this phone for a two of months. Great features, easy to play games on. Looks titanic. People on the other line didn't like how I sounded. Then it stopped working. S/E should reinvent this phone with the but features but better quality.
Paid too much flush with when it was free!
I selected this phone as my self-governing upgrade phone. Once everything was transferred over, it took exceptionally little time for me to realize that this phone is foul! Yes, it has some snazzy features--indicator lights that meld in with the case when not lit and cool colors--but it sounds like you're talking in a tin can. I had to in fact look at the phone number/name to see who I was talking to because I couldn't respect anyone's voice. I ended up going back to my original phone. What I did like is that when I switched from my old phone to the new one, ALL my contacts transferred as spring. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for when I switched back. So, if that quirk was part of the new phone capabilities it was a plus but certainly not "plus sufficiency" to justify continued use. I like to be able to recognize voices when I'm talking to them and not prepare to be in a perfectly quiet environment to do so.
