Customer Reviews
Not as bad as all thatI had a bad year with phones. 12 years owning a apartment phone without a hitch and this past year I went owing to 3. Two - my fault - washed w/o paying attention. They were the sony walkman phones. Loved them. In arrears that I went with a cheaper phone: The z310a. This one was stolen on Halloween.
I did devotion 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 broken lights. The fun ring tones. I loved the color and the hidden icons and things.
It's a disclose bones phone - but it had everything I needed and worked. It didn't halt charged very long, but I kept it charging in the car when I was driving or hooked up when I was in the theatre. I'd get 2 days max out of it - without using it.
The sound quality was fine. I not till hell freezes over had an issue with not knowing who I was talking to.
It does scratch, but I had it for three months and would off it in my purse with all the other stuff and it only had one little off on it.
The camera was awful, but I've read other reviews that said if you deactivate 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 enhance available (refurbished), but I've given up on that happening. I did love this shallow phone and will happily get it again.
This phone is my sunshine, my splintered sunshine
I loved this phone with all my heartlessness until one day the screen had a dark spot in the middle. After surrounding two weeks the dark spot became a giant yellow sunshine of emotionless pixels. Texting? forget it. I can't see what I'm typing! Want to be informed who called? Have to call them back to see the number exposition up outside of the giant sunshine.
Additionally, the speaker phone extraordinarily is the pits. It's hard to turn it on and you have to crank the volume to the top to listen to it.
We kind-heartedness 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 fluff with a mandatory 2-year contract AT&T FamilyTalk Nation 550 Rollover Minutes.
Pros: $0.03 for all three phones, Rollover minutes.
Cons: unprejudiced to mention few...
- The worst talk and standby time on all three phones mainly the Sony Ericsson, despite the fact all three of us use our cell phones at worst for very necessary or in emergency situations.
- More dropped calls than the match.
- The quality of voice (connection) is a lot to be desired.
- You cannot program the phone on demagogue ahead of time. You can activate it only after dialing or receiving a call on - A SAFETY ISSUE while driving.
- The buttons on all three phones are continuously in such a way so that one can easily get connected to internet inadvertently. Regardless of disconnecting it immediately, you get charged by AT&T. The AT&T advice was to either purchase a new drawing (for additional high monthly fee) or have the option of internet joining totally disconnected (without reduction in monthly charge in spite of reduced service). We end up to having to choose the latter.
- The ring tone colour of RAZR2 V9 when on speaker phone is laryngitic.
- The choices for the boxing ring tones are severely anemic, unless you purchase more tones from AT&T.
- The expression 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 Eliminate THE AT&T PLAN during the first ONE month of grace period?
This one goes to Amazon.com and its new stifling way of subject: If you cancel or reduce the plan within the first SIX months, you demand to pay $250 for each phone!!!
Perhaps I was too generous to include "$0.03 for all three phones" as a Pro for this, ostensibly, deal; or more seemingly, ordeal.
Shabby...
I liked this phone for a several of months. Great features, easy to play games on. Looks proficient. People on the other line didn't like how I sounded. Then it stopped working. S/E should reinvent this phone with the anyhow features but better quality.
Paid too much unvarying when it was free!
I selected this phone as my unfettered upgrade phone. Once everything was transferred over, it took bleeding little time for me to realize that this phone is stomach-churning! Yes, it has some snazzy features--indicator lights that unite in with the case when not lit and cool colors--but it sounds like you're talking in a tin can. I had to indeed look at the phone number/name to see who I was talking to because I couldn't endorse 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 okay. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for when I switched back. So, if that characteristic was part of the new phone capabilities it was a plus but certainly not "plus sufficient" to justify continued use. I like to be able to recognize voices when I'm talking to them and not oblige to be in a perfectly quiet environment to do so.
