The future has arrived, and it is called the Droid-X

Motorola DROID X Android Phone (Verizon Wireless)I had been holding out for the iPhone, but had refused to move over to AT&T; from my Verizon service, which I have been totally satisfied with these past 6 years or so. When the DROID-X was announced, I began reading the reviews and looking over the specs. The more I read, the more impressed I became.However, most of the reviews trashed the operating system, Android 2.1, so I keep looking, reading, and doing nothing. As luck would have it, my old Verizon phone, the LG Versa, got its windshield cracked and I was unable to view the display. So it was time to act. I had talked the talk, now I needed to walk the walk.The Verizon people spent a lot of time with me discussing the plans and options, features of the phone, etc. So I gave them a few hundred bucks and ordered the DROID-X. The first good surprise was it came in a week early.  As part of the "package" I purchased the leather carrying case, the Multimedia docking station, and the 32GB SD Card upgrade.Size MattersNow I had read that the graphic display was not as good as the iPhone, but in reality, it is wonderful. The larger size (4.3") screen is impressive and the virtual keyboard fits my fat fingers perfectly. The touch screen is at least as good as the iPhone (and iPod Touch which I previously owned). Being slightly larger, everything appears brighter to me than the iPhone, I don't see how the resolution could be any better than the 480x854 resolution (the iPhone is 960x640 and the screen size is 3.5" so obviously the resolution is better, but I cannot see it). For those apps that support it, the display can be either portrait or landscape. It takes about a second to change over. While the Droid-X is notable larger than the iPhone (and I believe almost any other phone on the market today), it is not heavy. I did a side by side weight comparison with my LG Versa phone and they felt about the same to me.  Its official weight is about 5.5 ozs.NavigationScrolling is a breeze. Works perfectly, never selects unwanted objects while scrolling, and is only limited by the speed of the downloading, which I found more than adequate, especially since I am used to Comcast high speed internet access on the Sony Win7 PC. There are 5 different home screens, and each can be customized to a theme, or you can just put stuff on them if that is what you want. They do share a common background/wallpaper, however.Operating SystemI read a lot of negative things regarding Android 2.1. However, my phone came with Android 2.2 and I have not had any problems at all. It is truly a multi-tasking operating system, I can play music, download files and navigate through apps all at the same time with no noticeable delays. Now you need to understand that I am used to dealing with Microsoft windows, so my expectations are very low for any operating system. So far, I am pleased with Android 2.2, I have found no glitches, and my phone has only frozen once and that was caused by the SD Card (needed to be reformatted for this specific phone). The integration between apps and operating system is mostly seamless, but again, every specific app has its own characteristics and quirks.Dropped CallNever ~ that's why I stay with Verizon. Coverage is better than AT&T;, as I have verified over and over again during my travels across the US. I get coverage everywhere I go. Period.Camera/VideoThe 8MB camera built into the Droid-X is actually better than my 8MB Canon SD870 IS. The pictures are clearer and the videos are far superior. Droid-X claims video resolution is HD720P and I have no reason to doubt that spec. To view the photos and video, I used the basic app [Gallery] that came as the default app. I have paid good money for photo display apps on my PC that aren't near as nice as this one. It seamlessly integrates video with photos, so I can walk-through everything instead of going to a different folder or display setting. Since my HDMI cable has not yet arrived, I cannot test the upload to PC or TV capability, which is the true test of any video (anything looks good on a 4" monitor but how about a 40" monitor?).  Still, HD720P is 720P so it should look good on any size screen. Digital Zoom - Yes, Flash - Yes. What else do you need to know. Just go and take some pictures. As far as sound is concerned, the Droid-X had 3 mics, and one is used for noise-canceling, and during my headphone sound test, I was able to clearly hear the birds singing and chirping in our back yard. Now, the iPhone 4 does have one very big advantage over the Droid-X, a front facing camera. If you are using video phone or Skype, that would be a handy feature to have, to be sure.AppsOk, so Android does not have a million apps like the iPhone. Oh, boo hoo. There are thousands of apps and I'm sure there will be millions at some point but who really cares. It took me over an hour to go through just the free apps offered in "The Market". I found a dozen or so that I started with, and most of them were fun, entertaining, informative or whatever they were suppose to be. I'll just get into a few specific apps in this review, and the rest ~ download them and see for yourself. The Droid-X had 8GB of internal memory dedicated just to apps and the operating system. That doesn't really sound like a lot to me, as I have a T-byte drive on my PC and it is somehow getting filled up with who knows what. But, after downloading apps all day, I still had 6.26GB remaining, so I guess I shouldn't worry too much about it ~ download away!EmailVerizon hooked me up with both Google gMail and linked in my Comcast email account. I haven't used the gMail account but the Comcast account works flawlessly and pressing a single email icon retrieves my inbox. Also, one of those 5 menu screens I previously spoke of contains the inbox right there on the menu screen, so what could be easier. Of course, this is only a copy of the email so I have to delete emails in two places now, but that is not a big deal to me. For those of you who get 100s of emails a day (and I know who some of you are), you would be advised to download some sync software, otherwise you will be spending a lot of time managing your email files.MusicThe primary reason I wanted an iPhone was for the music. My wife and I have several iPods and we use iTunes to manage all of our music, so I was a little worried about how that would all workout with the Droid-X.  My previous experience with cell phones that play music (i.e. LG Versa & ENV2) is that they Suck (yes, that is the technical term). So I was forced to carry the cell phone and my iPod when I went on any trip or walked the mall, or whenever I wanted to listen to some good ole rock `n roll.Those days are over. My very first downloaded app was DoubleTwist, which is free. It has both a PC and phone component. Once you download the PC component, it auto-syncs with your iTunes library, and builds links to all songs stored in iTunes with the exceptions of songs purchased through the iTunes store. As soon as I hooked the phone to my PC via the supplied USB cable, it began to download [sync] all of my music to the SD Card in the phone. I have almost 3,000 songs so that took a couple of hours to complete. Please note that all Verizon phones want you to download V-Cast, but avoid the temptation since that software, well how should I say it, well it sucks too.Once all of my music was downloaded, I just touch the DoubleTwist app icon and I am off and listening. I only use the shuffle function, but DT imported all of my playlists, so there are lots of options regarding how to select and play your music.The unexpected bonus is that the other Music player app that was preinstalled in the Droid-X also plays my music, and I can even play it when the phone is in the multi-media charger by pressing the > music icon. What could be easier.Pandora RadioAnother free app you simply cannot live without if you are a music lover. Once you download the software, you can pick an artist or category of music and Pandora Radio will dynamically build you a playlist. There is a 30 second commercial every 15 minutes or so, but someone has to pay the bill for free music, so I did not find this too annoying.BlueTooth SupportI have the Nokia BH-905 Bluetooth Wireless Stereo Headphones, and I was able to pair these headphones to my Droid-X on the very first try. Now, with those other phones (the ones I previously mentioned that sucked), they would switch to mono every time I turned on the music, and if you pressed pause, then goodbye music. Ugh. The Droid-X interacts with my Nokia headphones seamlessly (have I used that word here before?)  All functions [volume, next song, last song, pause] work from the headphones as well as directly from the phone (I have trouble calling the Droid-X a "phone" because that does not begin to describe this device).  With those other "phones" the music would often skip, stutter, or even squeak.  None of these "special effects" have occurred since I starting using the Droid-X. The sound for both my music and Pardora Radio is incredible. I've never heard better sound quality from any MP3 music player, and I've owned quite a few of them. Speaking of seamless, I got a phone call while listening to my music, and it automatically switched over after a couple of beeps ~ so be carefully if you are singing along to the music as I was at the time ~ oh embarrassment!. Once the caller "hung up" the music starting playing again, from the exact point it left off, and I was back to my singing (but I have decided to keep my day job). I will eventually learn how to turn-off  the phone's auto-answer while I am in music mode, since there are definitely some people I don't want to talk to (most have 877 numbers).Battery LifeAnytime you run multiple apps concurrently, you drain the battery (battery 101). Just make sure that you don't leave the apps running, which is not always as easy as it sounds. Since the Droid-X is a multi-tasking device, you can be playing music, downloading apps, and navigating through your email at the same time. If the battery becomes an issue, download Advanced Task Killer and use that to terminate unwanted app run-on. Personally, I do not find that the battery discharges any quicker than those other lesser phones (those phones that suck, remember).Upgradable SD CardThe Doid-X comes standard with a 16GB "user" memory card installed. I opted for the 32GB upgrade since I am known as a data snob and carry around an 8GB flash drive in my pocket. After loading my 3000 or so songs, I still had over 5GB left on the original 16GB card, so maybe I didn't need the 32GB card after all. I'll throw it in a drawer and if I ever need it, I'll just pop it in, re-sync my music and I'll be set for another 4000 songs or 40 hours of video. Now the lesson learned here is that you should go with the original 16GB card and not pay the $100-150 for the 32GB Upgrade if you don't need it today. As we all know, next month it will be $89, then $79 and within a year you'll probably be able to buy it for a $1 or so. But hay, we are all entitled to make a mistake, and this was mine.3G Mobil HotspotNow I did have to pay the $30 per month for the unlimited data plan, but I did not pay the $20 for the 5 user WiFi hotspot upgrade. Let someone else pay for their internet connection ~ not me. The Droid-X does come with WiFi built in and I have already connected to both my home network and TGI Friday's network. It takes less than a minute to connect. The only advantage to the WiFi connection vs. the phone network connection is the download speed. However, I could not tell much difference in the speed, so the only time I will probably use the WiFi is on a plane, or some other special situation where my phone service is not available. Note: Using the WiFi feature does eat the battery, so be careful out there.Multi-Media Docking Station AccessoryThe other accessory I opted for in my "bundle" was the multi-media docking station. Yea, I love it. When you dock the phone to the station, it automatically turns into a giant clock/weather station. Even with music going and the display running, the phone charges in no time, unlike my last phone that took literally hours to charge through the PC USB connection. The docking station also provides for an HDMI connection, so if your Droid-X is located near a PC that has an HD Input (My Sony Does) or an HD TV monitor, you can stream your videos or photos to that output device through the push of an icon or two. Wow, What power!In Summary* Bigger than a Breadbox ~ Yes* Better than Sliced Bread ~ Yes* Able to leap tall building ~ You Bet* Do I love it ~ Ahhhh Yes


YES

It was what I needed it helps my phone battery last longer because it is the same product name not just a charger.


Unpleasant Surprises

The Razr2 is really a good phone, but buying an unlocked one is not such a great idea.  Of course, none of the service providers have had them for several years - the flip phone is a vanishing item.Amazon sells this one through HassleFree, which is anything but. Mine came from Australia, programed for the main service provider there, Telstra.  Setting it up for a U.S. provider requires some work.  For instance, when you try to dial your voice mail, it will attempt to contact a voicemail box in Australia.  It took a trip to an ATT store to get this changed.Also, the phone always shows a "new voice mail" icon when none is there.  Further, after a voice mail is left, it is always followed by a text message showing a few strange symbols.  ATT tech service was very good, but told me this is an electronic quirk that can't be remedied.  Due to the differences in Telstra and ATT phone programming.The seller puts difficult limitations on a return for refund, i.e. No more than 30 minutes talk time.  It takes longer than that to determine if the phone even works.I can use the phone as a backup, but if do-overs were possible, would find a used phone that came from a U.S. provider.I would not recommend any unlocked phone, unless you know where it comes from.


Excellent

The battery is great. My old battery would have full charge and die in 20 min of use. Also with the new battery it fixes the problem of the phone freezing. great product!!


It just doesn't work - no response from inquiries

I have tried the device with multiple android devices and cables.  It just doesn't work.  It discharged one phone and never charged another above 9%.  Trying to charge either a single or multiple devices doesn't seem to matter.  IT JUST DOESN'T WORK.I have sent two inquiries concerning replacement and have only received form letter replies indicating someone would follow up on my issue; however, I haven't received an update yet.I am very unsatisfied!Since I posted this review, Anker customer service has responded and asked for the serial number and stated that an even earlier email had been sent on Oct 20th.  The one I got today was sent yesterday Oct 25th.  My Juno email server is sometimes slow, but I haven't experienced lost emails in the past.  I am hopeful they will resolve my issue with replacement or refund.  All but one of the reviews that I read prior to purchase were extremely positive, so I am hoping that the device I received is a rare defect.  RW Oct 26th 5:30pm EST.


This is a favorite

I love it. it is strong and durable, cool looking, and fits my personality great., strong and protects my phone from drops


Worked for 15 minutes

I got these and they sounded great for 15 minutes.  Then the left side ear crapped out.  Then the right side started to as well.  I'm returning them for a replacement pair.  I hope the new ones work better.  Otherwise I'm out $80...and I'm never going to use Amazon again.  (the return policy sucks...I shouldn't have to pay for shipping if something goes wrong.)


OOOOOOPS!!!!!

I didn't buy this because I forgot I had put this one here!!!!  A week ago I bought a different 7-port hub and now I find this!!!! Oh, well.  ecgwinky


Phone did not meet any of my expectations

I used it for 1-2 weeks but did not meet any of my expectations:a) It used to get stuck multiple timesb) within 2 weeks, i had 3 instances when my outgoing calls had my sound not audible to the other sidec) user interface was not good for me


Fantastic s4 case!

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Wallet Case is awesome! The fit was firm but easy to affix and you can put a couple of credit cards in there, an ID and a couple of twenties without causing an obnoxious bulge to the case.  The leather design of the fold out makes it possible to really cram stuff in there (even though the manufacturer instruction says not to) and the design is sturdy enough for the phone to not crack after an 8 foot drop to hardwood floors.Haven't encountered a con yet after a month of use so... 5 stars!Highly recommended!


Wrong info

It said I would recieve my order within 3-6 days & it hasn't even been sent off and its been over seven days this company is not doin what it says it will do


love it

This case fits the phone perfectly and it works. The color gives it a pop too. Easy to put on and its not as heavy as the other waterproof cases that i have tried. The best one i tried so far. Am gonna get another one


Good for the price

I've had to return my unit once, at IO Gear's recommendation, since it would never visibly charge (i.e. red LED activate) when exposed to sunlight.  Thank you Amazon for excellent & easy return policy.  But beyond that, the replacement unit exhibits the SAME problem, and IO Gear phone support (ridiculously uninformed phone reps with minimal language skills, BTW) again say I need to send it back to them.  Are you kidding me?  2 out of 2 malfunctioning units -- do the math.UPDATE: LED light does activate when solar charging occurs.  I've finally seen it in action.  Still have occasional problems with it connecting with my cell phone, but I suspect this is a bluetooth issue in general.


HTC Customer Support is Awful!

Sorry, after having the previous HTC Titan and their inability to push out an update to fix reception and voice quality problems (which they admit to).  I wouldn't want to buy a product that hasn't been fixed for six months.  Nokia Lumia on the other hand, is the best phone with great customer support.  Give them a shot instead.


for Virgin Mobile HTC Desire 601

item as described, bought this case for my Virgin Mobile HTC Desire 601, it fits perfect nice and snug, doesn't make the phone feel to Bulky, still feels nice and sleek and adds little weight.


A lot of skewed reviews, to be sure.

Touted the "PlayStation Phone" by those that don't know any better, the Xperia Play is a Sony Ericsson phone that is loaded with Gingerbread (2.3) Android.  It has the distinction of being the only current phone to be blessed by Sony to play certain PlayStation games.  Of course, the media and consumers jumped on the assumption - flawed though it was - that this must be an evolution of a PSP.  Trust me, it's far from that.  In fact, I would liken it more to the N-Gage, but without cartridges, just so happens to be Sony rather than Nokia.As a phone, the Xperia Play (XP) has its pluses and minuses.  I was actually (unlike certain others) impressed with the general build quality.  Apple has gotten people hating plastic, which is unfortunate, because plastic done right can actually result in a solid device (see any of the HTC phones).  The build of the XP is a hybrid of plastic and metal, and it feels solid to the touch.  The idea that the screen flexes when pressing it is quite ludicrous, and I would submit that the user ended up with a lemon, but I digress.  The slider technology makes the phone quite a bit thicker than other candidates in the phone lineup at Verizon, and it is this which may be a turn-off to some shoppers.  Anyone who has used a Sidekick will know what I'm talking about, because it's basically the same thickness.  The XP is quite a bit smaller than other phones though, fits in the hand nicely, and has a nice grip.  To its detriment, the power button is extremely recessed in the top and difficult to press one-handed.  Not impossible, but it was annoying.Much has been made of the single core-ness of the XP, and I will tell you this: The single core only matters when typing.  That's it.  Anything else and the phone is quite fast.  It renders web pages and applications faster than even my HTC Thunderbolt which has a faster processor.  Typing is where it all breaks down though - the keyboard cannot keep up with the fastest of touch typers.  I'm not like the younguns of today in terms of texting or screen typing speed, but I can hold my own as I knock out a business email quickly on the Thunderbolt.  Doing the same exercise on the XP was absolutely frustrating, as the accuracy went straight to hell under the same conditions, and in some cases, just didn't do anything at all as it struggled to catch up with my fingers.  It's a bit ironic - the whole reason I'm even trying this device is because of the horrid nature of touch gaming, and yet, its touch typing is so bad.  Regular touch navigation was fine, in fact it felt a bit better and more reliable than other touch screens that I've used, and I've used a lot.  There are certain screens that just "Feel Right" and the XP's is one of them...just not for typing, unfortunately.The screen brightness is perfectly fine when in normal lighting conditions.  Outside, forget it.  It's not that it isn't bright enough, it's that it can't overpower the natural lighting of the outdoors like some other devices such as any of the Samsung AMOLED screens.  The screen is also not polarized, and screen protectors for anti-glare may actually make the effect even worse.  It's true the screen brightness and detail is less so than that of the HTC Thunderbolt or other devices, but again, in normal lighting or darker lighting this isn't that much of a big deal.Audio quality was a mixed bag.  When gaming, the audio is fine, but when trying to do what the thing was designed to do (be a phone), it falls short.  The speaker is of average loudness, but on the other end the quality is terrible...as if you're speaking through a HAM radio or something.  It wasn't nearly as clear as I expected it to be given what I know of Ericsson phones of years past, and mind you, I was standing in a dead-silent room for the test.  I didn't get a chance to test wind noise, because I was so disappointed with its performance even disregarding wind or other interfering factors.The phone's strongest attribute is simply its battery.  Even on good brightness with wireless and GPS on, the phone managed to do 3-4 days on standby easily.  With regular usage (which in my testing is gaming and email), it still managed to last 1-2 days without needing a charge.  Compared to the Thunderbolt which required rooting and a custom ROM to last the duration of a day with GPS off and email only (GPS on results in a loss of 6 hours), I can only imagine that the theory about 4G burning through the battery even when not in active use must be true.  Additionally I believe the XP has a larger battery to begin with, because it would take me adding the extended battery to the XP to get to the same or roughly the same thickness.  Still, I was readily impressed by the battery performance of the XP.  If it weren't for the touch typing issue, I would switch immediately, but I depend too much on email; so much so that this is an instant deal breaker.I know people are wondering about the gaming.  And I will tell you that gaming is the one area where I believe the Xperia Play has the most issues.  It's not the device's fault though, rather the games themselves.  You see, when you slide out the XP, it will open the game interface.  There are a number of games already included with the device, some of which are of basic fun (Bruce Lee).  The problem here is that most people will buy the XP thinking that these physical controls should automatically work with every Android game out there; they don't.  In fact, in Verizon Wireless' V-CAST Apps, they have screened out Android apps that have been specifically configured for the XP.  This list is tremendously lower than the full list on the Market.  Others may or may not work depending on how the game was created.  I'm an RPG gamer, not an FPS gamer, not a fighting gamer (anymore).  TO me it seems a no-brainer to have an RPG on a device like this, so I fired a couple up.Gailardia is basically a Dragon Quest/Warrior rip-off, down to the core.  Maybe that's why I love it so much.  It works perfectly with the XP.Zenonia is basically a hybrid of Secret of Mana and Tales of Destiny.  Not a bad game, not overly advanced, but it has charm to it and it's price is quite right (less than a buck for each episode).  Doesn't work well with the XP's controls; there are times you will press a direction key and nothing will happen, or he'll be walking and then suddenly stop for no clear reason. Or certain buttons won't respond.  You also can't navigate 100% of the menu using the physical buttons, forcing you to revert to touch.Symphony of Eternity is the one with the most potential, think Final Fantasy 1 rip-off with superior graphics.  Took a long time to get to control, but then I noticed that buttons only worked outside of battle.  In battle I was forced to use the touch screen, defeating the purpose.It is this inconsistency of support (let's call it gaming fragmentation) that really hurts the overall experience.  I know that the game developer must write the game to map to the physical controls in order to make them work, and a lot of these games were in existence prior to the Xperia Play, but certainly there must be some sort of compatibility mode that is available to make it work better.  The only other alternative is to download specially written APKs that allow you to play some of these games directly with the Xperia Play, or be charged again by Sony to play their versions which are already written for it.It might seem like I'm down on the device, in truth I'm rather disappointed, but it's not the device's fault.  Rather, I feel that something like this should have come out a lot earlier in the development cycle for Android, such that game developers would have felt inclined to write specifically for it, and then maybe it would have more appeal.  I also feel that this is really what the PSP Go was meant to be from the start, but obviously that plan fell through.  I don't know now what the future holds for the XP...my guess is that it will be relegated to the same fate eventually that the N-Gage ended up in.  It's hard to recommend the XP over other devices even if you're a gamer because of the aforementioned fragmentation.  It's not a bad device, it's just not a great one.


below expectations

i had bought a samsung e715 last time when i was in the USA. the phone was simply great except that when i took it to india, the signal reception became bad. i couldnt get signal within my house, which is kinda in the heart of the city.. so this time i wanted to settle for a nokia phone, as i know nokia is known for its reception and customizable features.so let me start with the pros of the phone:1. small size2. rubber grip is good as it prevents the small phone from slipping off the hand3. rubber keypad- keypad design is innovative and makes usage easy inspite of the space constraint4. glowing leds attractive for the teen group5. decent battery lifeCONS:1. first of all, the phone was initially advertised as a triband phone operating on 900mhz,1800 and 1900. but nokia sells 2 models of 3200- one normal 3220 and the other one - 3220b (this operates on 850 in place of 900) - t-mobile usa sells 3220b which means this phone wont work in india and many other parts of asia.i called up customer support. they promptly changed the wrong info on their website and asked me to return the phone to the dealer. the dealer refuses to take the phone, saying that he would lose 25%. after 2 days he told me that he spoke to t-mobile and that t-mobile would send me a 900mhz 3220 phone in 5 days.. today i call up cust service and i see theres no record of such a call. so im caught in this battle now..the CSR tells m that since i cant return the phone after 15 days.. i have to buy a new phone from them and that t-mobile cant replace the phone. damn...wish i had sued t-mobile and got a huge compensation fortheir blunder.2. picture caller id was another thing i was looking for. samsung e715 has a pic called id, but its useless, as u would see the pic only if u open the flip phone. by this time, u would know the caller form the id on the front lcd. so i had opted for a non-flip phone.. only here, nokias pic is so small that, its very tough to spot the caller through the pic. this is again a major flop feature.3. speaker is loud.. but quality is bad4. the WORST of all. the center key is used as select, unlike the left key in other nokias. its very tough to hit the center key correctly. u mostly end up hitting one of the arrow keys. i have improved with practise.. but its still a pain5. everytime u make a call the phone says note:call forwarding active. this is bcoz allour phones are set to forward calls to voice mail if theres no answer. but why should a phone display a note to the user about this.. its very annoying.. t-mobile CSR says its  afeature of the phone and it cant be customized or deactivated.7


dissapointed of this phone

i bought this phone and i was all exited for all they said in the videos about the phone  and now i have it and it  freezes all the time  and i tried to return it and now they wont let me  thats what happen when someone buy stuff on line  they dont care if your concerned


Not exactly what I thought it was going to be, but it works as advertised.

My wife put this on her wish list for Christmas as she likes to run all the time and wanted a water proof case for when it's raining.  I don't think this is exactly what she had in mind (as I'm not sure what she was thinking, because what case would be 100% water proof, yet still allow for head phone jack to be used while running?), but I think it would work for the most part.  The case itself is made of a durable thick plastic that is molded together into one seam running around on three sides.  There is no easy access to your power or volume buttons, though if you push really hard, you can utilize them. It's a little cumbersome, but I don't think this was intended to be a case where you are fully utilizing your phone, rather it's more to keep it safe from water damage while you're out extreme sporting.  The front is a clear plastic and it does allow for easy use of the touch screen, though in my test, I kept myAcase Superleggera PRO Dual Layer Protection Case AT&T;, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 - Blue/Blackcase on, and it was really hard to slide into and back out of the case, and it was also hard to access the touch screen because my case is raised about 1/8" from the screen.  If using a smaller case, or no case at all, you'll have no problems accessing the screen through the plastic.  Additionally, there is a window on the back for what I assume is to allow you to use your camera while it's in the case.  The top appears to seal very well, though the two "knobs" or "dials" that you turn to open are REALLY hard (at least harder than I'd expect with something like this).  There are arrows and letters on the top  'C ->' 'O <-' on the left side and 'O->' 'C <-' on the right side, indicating which way to turn the knob/dials to open and close the case.  Turn both dials outwards and the top opens, slide your phone in (sans case if you want an easy fit), and then turn both dials inwards and the top seals shut tight.  I didn't submerge my phone inside this case, as I wasn't sure exactly how "water proof" it was, though I did end up folding up a paper towel and putting it inside the case, then fully submerging it under water for 60 seconds.  The paper towel was dry upon opening the case, however, a few drops did remain around the top, which did drip inside the case.  If you take care to dry the case thoroughly before opening it, I believe the inside would remain 100% dry.  Overall, I don't think this is a bad case if you're looking for the water proof attributes, but this isn't something I'd recommend for biking/running, as you'll more than likely want to use your head phones, and there is no easy way to use the headphones with this case, unless you leave the top open, thus eliminating the water proofing abilities.


Really nice aluminum frame

This thing fits like a glove and snaps closed perfectly. It does not provide any protection to the back or front, but simply provides a nice frame to make the phone a little more sturdy and easier to grip. If I had any complaints at all, it would be over the power and headphone openings, which are too small for most after-market items. While it does work with the OEM items from Samsung, it would be nice if the openings were large enough to fit after-market products. I ended up using a small file and making the holes larger. No big deal.


I Loooooove it sooooooo much!!!

I receive so many compliments with this phone case and it so cute. Also this shipping was supposed to take about 4 weeks but only took 3 day. Although the phone case is not protective I would definitely recommend it to a friend.


basic phone from Nokia 4.5

I got this phone as a temporary replacement (replacing a jacked up LG Vu) I have had this phone since the afternoon you can access the web e mail send texts I haven't really delved into many of the features.  I like the bar form the phone is small and light I like the keypad lock feature which I also had on my other bar phone.  What I don't like the key to access the web is very easy to press by accident (no data plan) and that could prove costly (2 cents a second?) Themes and tones are limited but I found a nice background to use as well as a tone.  For a small phone its LOUD I had to turn it down a few bars.  its a basic phone for under $$ however I was told the phones started at $ which is under what the price is I paid for.  2 things why doesn't AT&T offer go phones thtough their stores they need a better selection of phones for this range.  overall not bad a bad phone for making and receiving calls on.


Lets help our campaign by writing a bad review of HTC Kaiser here

This barrage of negative reviews is brought to you by the lynch mob at xda developers. To qoute the first post - "Lets help our campaign by writing a bad review of HTC Kaiser here (Amazon)" - and another - "Good idea to get everyone to post bad reviews"


Great Case and worht the money

This is probably the nicest phone case I've seen. It comes with a screen protector, cleaning cloth, and a little desk stand for the phone. There is a soft rubber inner case which fits the phone perfectly. Then a harder case fits snugly around the soft case thus providing a hard shell with soft rubber inside for shock absorption. Even with all this the case is not excessively bulky and easily fit in my pocket and a horizontal phone pouch that was made for my iPhone 5 sans any case whatsoever. The hard part of the case has a nice brushed feel to it and does not feel like hard plastic at all. I accidentally dropped my phone from waist height and no damage. My only issue with this case is very, very minor and that's the fact that there are two narrow pieces of the inner rubber lining that go across the bottom of the case where it's open for access for the sync/power cable and earphones. If you have only the new Apple Lightning to USB cables it's no problem. However, if you have a lot of the old Apple 30 pin USB cables and want to use the Lightning to 30 pin adapters those two little pieces of the inner case prevent the insertion of the adapter into the phone. I just removed them with a scissors and it's all good. All in all a great case.


Too Many Problems

I ordered this phone as an "upgrade" from an Optimus V after the V was stolen. (Can you believe that, way would anyone steal an Optimus V?) and have had nothing but problems with the phone since I got it two weeks ago.  The manual says you can add up to a 32gb sd card but my phone will not mount any sd card and I have tried different cards thinking that the card might have been bad, nope, not the card it's the phone.  Phone has a weird internal memory which it seems to think is the sd card or at least it behaves that way.  Everything on the phone has been slow to open since I got it and after spending the time to set up the Menu screens the way I wanted them the phone just wiped everything I did at random one day when I powered it on. Now I can not get it to download any apps at all and it locks up every time I go to the settings menu.  The Optimus Elite settings say I have the most recent software update so there is no "fix" to be found there and VM is not very good at pushing updates for their phones anyway. I am not a power user, if I was I would go for a much better, more expensive phone but this model is not an "upgrade" at all from my old Optimus V, which was no speed demon but never failed me.  I just want a phone to work well as a phone, let me download a few apps for productivity and a couple games, listen to some music occasionally.  The Optimus Elite is not that phone, I would not recommend this model to anyone after all the problems I have had with it, I am returning it.


Great Phone!!!!

I absolutely love this phone.  I've had it for almost 2 months now and its awesome.  I haven't encountered dust in my phone like some people have and the trick to prolonging battery life is to not charge it all night or past the time it stops charging.  I charge mine in the morning while I get ready for the day or if I charge it at night I make sure I don't have it plugged past the point of the battery being charged.  The only thing I can complain about is not YET being able to make mp3's ringtones but I'm working on that ;-).  AWESOME PHONE.


Love the Jot Touch

I've been drawing on my iPad for quite a while, first starting with my fingner, then I did the homemade stylus thing (with conductive foam), eventually I bought a pogo and a few others.  Although all of these were nice, they all had some downsides, they didn't have weight, they didn't last long (the foam), they got sticky (the pogo) and above all, I wished I could get better accuracy.  A distant wish was pressure sensitivity, but I wasn't going to hold my breath.Then the Jot touch popped up on the internet...I've been waiting for a LONG time for this type of stylus to come to market.  I've tracked others including the Creigle iPen and the Jaja Stylus and I believe this is the best of all the current options.  The Creigle iPen doesn't have pressure sensitivity and has limited app support.  The Jaja is a kickstarter project and I don't believe it is being produced to the same professional quality as Jot Touch.Pros:o The stylus has a great weight to it and feels good in the hand.o The tip has a little bit of a "spring" to it, which is in part because of the pressure sensitivity, which makes it feel really nice using on the iPad.o The pressure sensitivity is great in Procreate (I believe the best art production app on the iPad).o The shortcut buttons are convenient.o Lot's of the best apps support the pen and even if they don't the tip still works as a stylus (no pressure).o The clear disk allows you to be very accurate when drawing.  If the app you are using has a offset option it will line up on the dot.Cons:o The tips are "consumable" as described by Adonit.  Over time the connection between the "ball" and the plastic disk will wear out and they will no longer work. Replacement disks are $6 for 2, which isn't bad considering comparing cost to pencil, charcoal, ink or paint in the real world. Time will tell how this design holds up.  The stylus comes with 2 tips, so you are covered for a while if you aren't a power user. I used one tip for 5 hours one day and started having some issues with it, which based on Adonits support forums is not typical. I'll be following up with them on that one and based on what I've read, they are responsive if you get a dud tip.o The power button is tough to press to reconnect to the iPad.  This is a pro/con, you don't want to turn things off by mistake, but it would be nice if it were easier.o Not all software is perfect yet. As I mentioned above, I think Procreate nailed it compared to Art Rage, Sketchbook Pro and Art Studio.To wrap it up, I love this thing.  Best $100 I spend on a hobby in a long time.  If you are an artist get it.  It's not a Cintiq, but it sure is a great artists complement to an iPad.


Thought it was awesome, UNTIL I used it for a few weeks

First one of these I bought had a crack in the upper right corner I noticed a few days after I started using it. I contacted Amazon, and had a great experience with the customer service (I always have had good service) and they sent out a replacement and I sent back the damaged one. Well I'm 2 weeks into the new case and it starts catching somehow and wont allow me to slide the Pre open, you have to literally almost force it, which I don't care to do as it might damage the phone. Also, if its charging you cant get the slider open because the case and the charger port cover conflict and it blocks the slider. Another flaw which could be an asset in a different location is the volume button covers which are tall, are right where you hold the phone on the top right of the phone. So as I'm talking I constantly hit the down volume without realizing it and so then my phone ends up on mute because I turned the volume down and didn't realize it. Its really a pain in the neck. I was very excited when I got this case because even though it was pricey, it seemed to be a good quality and I had tried several cheaper ones that just wouldn't work. The screen protector they send you only covers the middle of the touchscreen and leaves the bottom and top unprotected.  I still think the quality isn't bad, but the design is TERRIBLE !!! Don't waste your effort or money on this case, you will be disappointed. Well I'm off to search for another case that will actually work. Bummer, thought my search was over !


Cheap, yuck

Ew.  I ended up returning these and eating the shipping cost because they were totally flimsy and cheap.  I expected better given the reviews, but they were garbage.  I ended up purchasing the Sony white headphones with cord which are way better and way higher quality.  Don't bother with these.


Not bad but...

At first glance it's a pretty nice case. Nice look and feel.The kickstand is definitely nice, sturdy and stays in place when not in use. It lets you stand it vertically or horizontally, like it.The holster is ok. It holds the phone screen in for protection but the phone is easily knocked out particularly when it is used horizontally on your belt. I have dropped my phone more in the last 2 weeks than I have in the two previous months before I got it.The biggest drawback is the drag on the keyboard when you try to slide it out. I had to modify the clips that hold the case onto the phone so they don't drag against the back of the screen when the keyboard is exposed. I feel that this may be causing damage to the track that the two halves of the phone slide on.I'm debating if I want to keep it just for the kickstand or just give up on it.Scrap that had to edit my review and change from 3 stars to ONE STAR. PROTECT YOUR PHONE, DO NOT USE THIS CASE!


An amazing phone!

This phone is amazing but ... I am with T-Mobile and the internet and apps are very slow when I am hooked to their network, however when I hook up to wi-fi the video's and internet are very quick. This isn't the phone's fault, it's either T-Mobile or our metal roof interfering with the signal. I gave it 4 stars because I am somewhat disappointed that it doesn't have a LED to alert me to new messages or emails although it will play a sound. It also has nothing to alert me when the phone is fully charged after being plugged in. I was unable to find accessories for it locally as far as cases and sleeves but I was able to find them on Amazon at very reasonable prices. Other than that it was an excellent buy and I am amazed at what all it can do. I actually purchased 2 of these, one for my husband and he is very pleased as well.


Yes, twice the power!

I have the curve 8330 and the original battery gave me not much more than a day without a charge.  I lock the keypad and don't know if maybe the keypad would display that it was locked when bumped, but that would be the case for any user.  My use was average, but I sent text msgs and watched the occasional video and read email.  I kept the backlighting to a minimum and did not make too many calls.So, when I got this and added it with the new back, which I am glad they provide or it would not work.  This battery should be the standard one.  I went on a weekend stay at the Biloxi Hard Rock Casino and stayed from Saturday till Tuesday and still had enough power left till I charged it Tuesday night.  Well worth the money if you can't always leave the phone on a charge every night.  I still do not know why they don't make a Solar cell for these phones, but for now this is a reliable source of power for more days than the original.


Cheap - Marginal Quality

I love Samsung products so decided to give this a shot.  Seller shipped it really quickly so they did a great job.It's an attractive headset but the call quality was poor.  Everyone had a hard time hearing me clearly.  I trashed it and bought a Plantronics Legend that was on sale locally.  With these BT headsets I guess you get what you pay for.


Does what it should - but it's finicky.

One other review for this product notes that they encountered a magenta LED for the GPS receiver, which means "hardware failure."  Well, not really.  So let me spare you and the Amazon Marketplace vendor (Noble Planet) some angst, and tell you how to get past that problem.We hooked up ours and beheld the same solid magenta GPS light and rapidly-flashing SYS light mentioned by the other reviewer.  Looking in the online manual available at [...] I see that indeed this translates to "hardware failure" with no solution.  BUT IT'S WRONG.The REAL problem was that our Dlink DIR-825 router was not permitting the device to communicate properly.  After lots of troubleshooting between Verizon Wireless and Dlink and efforts to open up ports on the router and ensure specific IP addresses weren't blocked, we finally chucked the DIR-825 and bought aLinksys EA4500 App-Enabled N900 Dual-Band Wireless-N Router with Gigabit and USB.  As soon as the Network Extender was connected to the new router all the lights turned blue over the course of about ten minutes (as they're supposed to) and the unit began working.IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEM with one of these units, try hooking it DIRECTLY to your broadband modem and bypassing the router.  If it works there, the problem is with the router, NOT with the network extender.  With a compatible router this thing REALLY IS plug-and-play.Oh - one more thing: you DO have to call Verizon and have the MAC address for the unit (printed on the label underneath) added to your Verizon account.  Otherwise it won't work.  This is easy to do and does NOT require that you have a business Verizon account.  Call 'em up, tell them what unit it is, and that it needs to be activated by having its MAC address added to your account.  That's all you need to do.With that said, this IS a finicky unit in one important respect.  It can only work with a compatible router, and if it isn't connected to one it will give you confusing feedback as to what's wrong.  Skip past EVERYTHING else and hook directly to the broadband modem to rule out everything except the unit itself.  And be prepared to replace your router.One more thing: Noble Planet, which sells this unit via Amazon Marketplace, is very responsive and helpful.  We were very happy with their service.


Cheap

Very cheap price, very cheap looking. You get what you pay for. Absolutely no quality. Very faded printed off sticker attached to cheap plastic.


AMAZING

I can sit down on the couch watching movies anywhere anytime. My friends wrote the other reviews and they are just KIDDING!!PERFECT RESOLUTION!!


will not dot it again

first, I understand that if a product is coming from China it is going to take a while, but when I finally got it (6 weeks later), it didn't even fit my phone. the make of it was completely wrong!!!!!! never again


Nice case with added charger and screen protector!

I'm surprised to say that this case does what it's supposed to do.  For the price, I thought some of the negative reviews would ring true, but it really does work!  My phone was at 36% and in a very short period of time, it was back up to 100%.  It's so nice to have when I don't want to carry the long charger chord around with me. I definitely recommend this case and may even buy one for my family and friends. It comes with a charger for the actual battery on the case and that's awesome too! I charged it overnight and I knew it was charged fully when the 4 blue lights were evident on the back of the case.  Very convenient, easy to use, and great color since I love everything pink!  (Sorry for the people who ordered one that didn't work.  I hope mine continues to work well and that it's not short-lived...for now, it lives up to the hype, however.)


TERRIBLE and AWFUL

THIS WAS ABSOLUTLY BY FAR THE WORST CASE I HAVE EVER GOTTEN ON HERE. I ORDERED THESE FOR ME AND MY BOY FRIEND'S 1 MONTH BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY WERE BEYOND ADORABLE AND WHEN I OPENED THEM UP PAINT WAS CHIPPED AND A PEICE WAS BROKEN. THEY WERENT EVEN COMPLETLY PAINTED I RETURNED THEM THE VERY NEXT DAY. THEY ARE NOTHING LIKE THE PICTURE AND I WILL NEVER BE ORDERING FROM THEM AGAIN!!!!!!!!


Great Price...

...for the convenience of not being tethered to a short cord when you need a charge. Quality is good; an excellent value.


Do Not Buy This Phone If You Are Planning to Unlock it!

Nothing about the product itself, because the phone is a great phone as is the software. This is my second time purchasing this phone. However please use another seller. The seller is misleading and untruthful when he says that this phone can be unlocked to use on other carriers. It cannot. I tried every avenue. Unlocking a phone is a simple thing. However the phone that I purchased from this customer was/is registered to a at&t mobility business customer, so any phones from that business, cannot and will not be unlocked no matter what you try. Best bet is to buy the phone factory unlocked, or from a different seller. Save yourself the hassle and frustration that I went through trying to unlock this phone. Again it is only this specific phone from this specific seller. I have bought another nokia lumia 900 from another seller and had it unlocked to use with tmobile very easily. BUYER BEWARE.


HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT

I got this phone in early September 2006 and paid $100 more for it than it costs now.  Both my husband and I got the same phone.  His phone may rate as high as a 2 or 3 but I'm giving mine a 1.  I'm already on my second one.  I have a lot of problems with the phone "echoing."  Everything I say gets repeated back to me and I can't hear the other person.  Sprint told me it was a problem with the phone and gave me a different one... but now my 30-day exchange period is up and this one is even worse than the first.  It doesn't happen on every call, but it happens often enough to be extremely annoying.Other problems -- BATTERY LIFE GETS A NEGATIVE 10.  My battery is often completely dead after 1-2 hours of standby, non-roaming use.  I've been stranded without a phone DOZENS of times.  I charge it up all night, leave the house with it fully charged in the morning, maybe make one two minute phone call, and it powers off with a dead battery within 2 hours.  I also have a tremendous problem with it constantly saying "Data Call in Progress."  This is obviously what is running the battery down every day, but no one at Sprint can tell me what is making that happen and I'm not running any applications or making any data calls.  I try dialing out, and I can't - it says Data Call In Progress.  I try in vain to find anything that is running or making a data call, power off, pull out the battery, start back up -- and it still says Data Call in Progress.  Then my phone powers off because the battery is dead.  I've been trying to find a car charger and an extended life battery, but neither are available at my local Sprint store, on the Sprint website, or on Amazon as far as I can tell.Camera -- I bought this phone because I wanted a megapixel camera and this seemed like it would be a good one.  Every picture, however, is horrible.  Much worse than the crappy old phone I had before that had a low resolution camera.  Colors are distorted and you practically need to mount the phone on a tripod to get a steady shot (not that you can actually do that).Music -- It's very annoying that the Sprint Music store launches every single time you want to play a song.  Also, the Sprint music player can't play MP3s that you load from your computer.  You can only play those through a separate part of the phone, and then it only works if the phone is OPEN.  You also have to advance to the next song yourself because there is no play list of your own songs.  It works fine for the songs you buy through the Sprint store, however.FM Transmitter -- I've tried three phones now (my first one, my current one, and my husband's Fusic) -- in three different vehicles, and the FM Transmitter didn't work at all in any of them.  The guy at the Sprint store told me that is common, his wife's doesn't work either.  Apparently you will have better luck if your car has an antenna built into the face plate inside the car, or it would possibly work if you wanted to stick it in the back window closer to the antenna.Vision - WHAT A HUGE RIP-OFF.  My previous plan, which I used with my old phone that broke in half, included Vision for free.  I didn't change my plan at all, I just changed our two phones -- so imagine my surprise when I found out that I was now being billed an extra $50 a month for Vision.  I called them and they said my plan included regular Vision and this phone doesn't work with regular Vision so they automatically "upgraded" me to Power Vision Ultimate for $25 per line.  Information that would have been useful for them to share with me before I bought this phone.  There are some cool features with the Sprint On Demand, such as movie listings and Mapquest locations on your phone, but the few times I've actually needed to use those services, the Sprint network has been down and unable to connect.  Plus - $25 per line per month for Power Vision and that doesn't even include text messaging??Alarm - you can't change the interval of the Snooze.  You could do this in my old phone and it was very handy.Receiving Calls - I'm not sure if this a problem with the Sprint network or with this phone, but half the time, these dumb phones don't ring.  My husband and I have tested it (because it causes many an argument when you call someone ten times and they don't answer and then you found out the phone never rang).  We have tried it out at home.  Both phones turned on, both show a full signal, both have the ringer volume on... but we try calling them, either from a landline or from the other phone, and it goes straight into voicemail and never rings at all.  Then the voicemail indicator goes off and you have the message, but the phone never rang and nothing shows up in the missed call log.  That's happened when other people have tried to call me too, from other wireless networks.  The phone just goes straight to voicemail.  This doesn't happen all the time either, but I bet it's at least 30-40% of the time.Overall, I'm extremely disappointed and not at all happy to be stuck in yet another two year contract with a crappy, useless phone that is never there when I really need it.  Either the battery is dead, I can't call out because it's stuck in some mysterious data call mode, or the stupid thing just doesn't ring or register my calls.  However, at least if you buy it now, you'll save $100 over what I paid for it.


Is it Worth the Hype?

In my opinion this phone should be a 2 1/2 stars but I am considering other people's opinions.  I am doing this since I believe they are the kind of people who would be buying such a phone.Who is it for: It is for people who's first concern is the look and feel of the phone. This phone looks great, and it is not light, which makes it feel more luxurious (even though it is a tad too heavy even for that in my opinion).++++'s : Exceptional Look. Exceptional Feel to the touch. Clear screen. Easy Nokia menus. Bluetooth, Radio , and you know the stuff you would see on nokia's website.----'s:1- Buttons are too small, even for a small hand (it might not be the size of the buttons, but the how flush they are)2- Too expensive for the price it is being listed at ($650). This phone is not considered new any more (it was released in Europe around 3 months ago, and in Asia about 5 months ago). I would say a good price for this phone with all it's +'s and -'s is around $350 - $4003- Battery life is too short; hence they provide you with two!!!4- Radio reception is not that great.5- the internal antenna's position is somewhat awkward. The reason I bring this up is bec. in the manual it says you are not supposed to lay your fingers or hand where the antenna is. Yet this is the natural place you would hold the phone from!!!6- Even though it is a pretty phone, it can easily become an ugly one: FINGERPRINTS. The brushed steel the body of the phone is made off, clearly shows fingerprints, and it is not easy to clean up (you can clean it up it just takes longer than you would expect)In Summery: All I can say if you are looking for a gorgeous phone, and don't mind  the price, or the short battery life, I will 100% recommend this phone to you, since I have checked the markets in the US, Europe, Asia and think this is by the far the nicest, and best constructed phone out there at the moment (12/2005). But on the other had if looks are not the only thing on your mind I would suggest making your own evaluation of the neg. points I made, and see what you think.  Still at $400 I personally think this phone is a good buy, since I believe this phone will have a long life (not saying that to its batteries).Layth


Ehh...

First day having it but seems like a sturdy case. Buttons are hard to push for lock screen and volume buttons. The rubber shell on the inside sometimes makes my volume turn up by itself. Cute colors and love the case shape but the buttons being pushed by themselves is an issue for me.


Almost a perfect case

This is a great protective case.  I purchased this case after viewing a youtube video of a guy throwing a Galaxy S3 encased in a Dualtek case across a stone bridge.  Crazy...Here are the pluses:- Super clean plastic molding.  No odd plastic molding pieces anywhere.- Made from very high quality soft touch plastic.- Nice grippy patterns molded to the sides of the case.- Nicely sized lip for screen protection.- Nicely sized cutout for USB port, headphone jack, and microphones.- Funky isolation design to protect from shock.  Check youtube vids.- Funky silicon bumpers to protect phone from drops.- Very durable design without much added bulk.There are some minuses however:- Case is difficult to remove.  This is a plus and a minus.- Buttons are non-tactile and a bit difficult to press.- Silicon bumpers pickup lint and dust.Overall, this is an excellent buy for $20.  I've owned many phone cases and this case is one of the best.Note:  I was able to make the buttons very tactile and easy to press by cutting small slits underneath the power and volume buttons.  The case should be made with these slits in place.


Great performance and build quality for the price

I got this phone for a little over 300 dollars and the more I use it the more I like it.===Software===I can't comment on the stock software since I almost immediately started flashing custom ROMs (highly recommended, not as dangerous as you might think). As far as that goes, the latest cyanogen mod is officially supported, and there's a great variety of other ROMs on XDA (I prefer PAC-man). I played around with the BRAVIA engine a bit before I flashed it away, and I wasn't too impressed. It pretty much just ups the contrast.===Color/Material/Build/Style===I got the black, which I'm very happy with. I haven't seen the white in person, but judging from the material used for the cover I'm thinking it would not look very good (much like an oreo cookie). The cover does not really inhibit fingerprints as claimed, but that's not a big deal for me. It gets cleaned off every time I put it in my pocket (along with the screen). It's a solid feeling phone and I very much like the silver accents for the buttons and around the headphone jack and camera. Unfortunately this was one of the last models before Sony started making the power button larger and more eye-catching. I noticed that the positioning of the buttons has gotten some negative press, but I actually prefer it. I don't exactly have small hands, but reaching all the way up on the phone when you're holding it from the bottom (supported with pinky) would be difficult. Sony made a good choice here.===Connectivity===***Supports Wimax (T-mobile 4G) up to 42 Mbps (if you can get it). This seems to be the fastest 4G support before needing LTE.***WiDi AKA Miracast is officially supported! The introduction of Chromecast kind of diminishes this, but it's still a great feature to have in my opinion. I look forward to trying it out when I get a WiDi box for my TV.***DLNA is also supported, can't comment, haven't tried it.***Has an FM Radio which is nice to see (although I probably won't use it).***GLONASS GPS! This is the russian GPS system which can be used to compliment the USA's GPS. What this means to you is almost instant GPS locks (outdoors). I'm very impressed with this.***It has NFC which is more useful than many people realize. Aside from exchanging info between phones, you can buy cheap NFC tags for home/work/car1/car2 that allow the phone to change various settings as soon as you touch the tag. Note: screen must be on for NFC to activate.===Screen===The size is about right I think. You really don't want a screen that's too big if you prefer using one hand, and 4.55" is kind of pushing it. I find it acceptable though. The 720p 323ppi resolution is marvelous. I've done some comparison between this phone (regular TFT), an LG phone that I returned (IPS), and my old phone (AMOLED). My impression is as follows:***Screen hue in direct light: IPS (worst) < AMOLED < TFT (best)***Contrast with screen on: IPS (worst) < TFT < AMOLED (best by far)***Color vibrance: TFT (worst) < AMOLED < IPS (only slightly better than OLED)***Viewing angle: TFT (worst) < AMOLED, IPS (equal)Regardless of the color vibrance and viewing angle not being quite as good, I hardly ever try to view it from an angle where you can notice and the colors still look great to me. IPS was actually the most dissapointing in terms of eye-candy.===Battery===The battery is not removable, but this isn't actually a huge deal for me. I've never bought an aftermarket battery for any phone I've ever had. You can still force the phone to turn off by holding volume-up and power. 1850 mAh seems a little low compared to other high end phones, but I really think the software makes the most difference. Invest in Better Battery Stats to figure out which apps and services are draining your battery. Even with moderate usage every day I end up with a nice chunk of battery left when I got to bed. If you spend a couple hours on youtube you'll probably need to charge it sooner.===Camera===If you want to just count megapixels, 13 is pretty high for android phones these days. I'm personally more impressed with the dedicated shutter button and LED flash. Also, the 1.2 Mp front camera is a noteworthy improvement over VGA.===Performance===The biggest thing for me here is the 1GB RAM. If you're coming from a phone with 512MB this is going to make for *huge* reduction in lag. The CPU is also very powerful. It uses a snapdragon S4, which is top of the line in performance/Hz (as of writing this). As in the case with PCs, don't be fooled into just focusing on MHz or buying a quad core with less single thread performance. For reference, some other phones with the same CPU/GPU combo:***HTC One S/XL/X-AT&T;***Samsung Galaxy S3 (NA version)***LG Spectrum II 4G***Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1===Storage===I didn't really think I would appreciate the 16GB of internal storage since I already have a 32GB SD card, but it comes in very handy. It makes loading a bunch of ROMS at once very convenient without having to find space on your external SD. Also, android likes to clutter up your main storage card, so I can still keep my external SD clutter free and packed with even more music. Don't worry about fidling with "USB storage mode" or anything to transfer files on/off the internal or external card either. I think it uses MTP, so you plug it in and it just shows up in "My Computer".===Random cons===***Micro-SIM. Probably because it has to be inserted from the side. I have a feeling various sim card sizes are going start becoming the norm over the standard mini-SIM. I've invested in a nano-SIM punch cutter ($10).***The bluetooth/headphone volume is a bit low compared to my last phone (galaxy s 4g). This phone tends to get complaints about low volume in general.***The notification light is so dim it's basically useless. It's multi-colored though for what that's worth.


Not for the Iphone 4s

I bought this product because i was looking for a simplistic iphone 4s case and as advertised it says it is for both iphone 4 and 4s but as i put it on my iphone 4s it was not at all a glide case in fact it is now stuck on my iphone 4s and i can not get it off. I recommend not buying this product for any user because of false advertising and the fact that its not a good product.


No Shock Absortion

My phone cracked the first time I dropped it with this case.  It was only a minor crack, but It's still a crack.


NOT for Galaxy Note 2

This pen is physically different in size to pen for Galaxy Note 2. This is my second attempt, I could have sworn I read that it would suit the Note 2 at time of ordering (I knew there were two types). By the way, the first pen I ordered was from a third party and it simply didn't work; the pen would recognize unintended gestures on hover or swipe from 1/2 inch away. Who would imagine such a simple looking device is so problematic.


Blackberry 9780

I just got the phone today! Blackberry 9780 Unlocked! It appears new! I  put my sim card from by 9810 Torch seems to work fine! I have a Digicel sim card and put that in the phone and that past the test! I actually got the phone to use in Jamaica and the Caribbean! I may use it in the States too after all it's unlocked! I would buy another one!


Well-designed update

This is the latest version of the Powermat wireless charging system, first introduced in 2009. This package includes a two-position Powermat, a backup battery pack, and a case for an iPhone 4 or 4S.The Powermat itself is a thoughtful update of the original design. It is available in black or white. In order to keep the charging surface completely free of clutter, the charge indicator lights are on the bottom, located so they can reflect from the tabletop when a device is charging. There are two very high-tack strips on the bottom that  keep the Powermat in place on any kind of clean hard surface; once you put in place, it will not easily budge from that position.  The small power brick is designed so that you wrap the cord around the brick. All power supplies for portable devices should be this well designed.The portable backup battery is also well-designed. It includes a micro-USB plug and an Apple 30-pin plug, both of which fold into the body of the device. There is also an on/off switch, a four-LED power/power level indicator and a micro-USB jack. It is available in black or white.I drained my iPhone 4S completely to test the portable backup battery. It took about ten minutes to bring the phone back to life. This is comparable to using an AC adapter. After about a half-hour, it was at 24%, 45% at one hour, and 81% at two hours. I left it plugged in for another hour or so, but it stayed at 81%. If I had plugged it in at the low battery warning, it likely would have charged to 100% or close to it. The black top of the battery pack has numerous visible micro-scratches after just a couple of weeks of sitting on a side table. I suspect it will look fairly well-worn after being carried for a while in a pocket, purse, or backpack. If a portable device has a glossy surface, it should be made from a harder material than found here.The wireless case for iPhone 4/4S can be purchased separately or bundled with a Powermat in white or black. It is or will be available separately in black, white, pink, blue, green, red, and silver.  The inside of the case has an Apple 30-pin connector and a micro-USB jack on the outside. It is bundled with a micro-USB plug to a Standard-A USB plug. This cable let you connect to your computer for synchronization without having to remove the case. The two-part case is joined by a flexible band. You slide the bottom 4/5 or so of the phone into the bottom of the case (pushing the 30-pin connector on the case into the jack on the phone as you do so). You then pull the top of the case forward onto the top of your phone.I had no problem aligning either the phone or the portable battery on the Powermat for charging. The Powermat attracts the case or battery magnetically and there are both visible and audible signals that they are aligned to charge. My phone charged up to 100% with no problem.While researching the Powermat, I came across the original Powermat for iPhone 3G/3GS on sale at 90% off (including a one-position original Powermat). When I received my iPhone 4S, I converted my iPhone 3G into what is essentially an iPod Touch. Since I usually forget to charge the older device, this seemed like good deal and a way to  see if the new Powermat is backwards compatible with older cases. The older phone/case charged on the new Powermat with no problem. The only thing I noted is that the indicator light on the base never quit turns off completely; it got very dim and flickered, but never went out completely as it does on current-generation devices.Having the 3G/3GS and 4/4S cases side-by-side, it's easy to see that the newer case is a significant design advance. Both make the phone a little bit longer, but the older model has a bulge on the back which makes the phone a lot thicker.I have no problem recommending the Duracell Powermat CSA4B1 24-Hour Power System for iPhone 4/4S, but here's the thing: for a lot of us, iPhone cases are highly subjective. There are things we like and things we don't. I prefer a case that feels more "grippy." At the moment, I'm also using the Alarm Clock app while my phone is plugged into a charger overnight. For the screen to be visible, it needs stand on its right or left side. To be stable in this position, a case needs sharp edges to maximize contact with the nightstand.  The rounded edges of the Powermat 4/4S case make it less stable than the case I've been using for the past several months. I'll be using the Powermat to charge my older phone (now basically an iPod Touch) and the backup battery.Duracell Powermat is a joint venture between Duracell and Powermat to use Powermat's technology and Duracell's marketing skills. GM has announced that Powermat chargers will be available on some of their models next year.


Seda hd Bluetooth headphones

It was tough looking for a decent pair of headphones. I looked all around for a nice, sleek headset but wasn't able to find what I liked. I found these seda headphones and they work amazing with my daily work out routine. They don't fall off when I'm shooting hoops at the gym nor do they feel uncomfortable. They are amazing!


not bad for the price

The first nokia 700 I bought had the touchscreen pulling away from the body of the phone so I had to return it (Amazon has great customer service).  Now that I've had my phone for a while (on T-mobile USA), here are some random thoughts:I bought this because it was important for me to have physical call and end buttons. If answering/ending without buttons doesn't bother you, then I'd go with iphone/android.  (I am aware that you can sort of answer/end calls with hardware buttons, but the solutions are more half-baked in my opinion).The size is fantastic for me, but I prefer compact devices in general.  The keyboard in portrait orientation is OK if you have small fingers.  But installing swype makes texting in portrait mode easy and convenient.The vibration mode is really weak and hard to feel.Battery life is good. I can get almost 48 hrs of normal use (mostly calls/few texts/limited web surfing), and maybe 24-36 hrs if I'm using the GPS. I don't watch video or listen to music on my phone. I lose about 0.5% every hour on standby.  I do active power saving, though.  I keep my phone on GSM mode with wifi off unless I need the 3G/wifi for web access (I find EDGE to be workable, though). Your mileage will vary, of course.  The options for turning on and off the network mode, wifi, bluetooth etc are so easy and fast that I prefer just keeping everything off unless I need something specific, to reduce power consumption.You can charge by micro USB in theory.  But in practice, several of my previous microUSB chargers simply will not charge my phone, especially car chargers.  I had to buy specific a nokia 700 charger (non-USB) for my car.  I have found that most plug in USB sockets will work, though (the ones where you have to supply your own USB cord to insert in one end of the charger).The offline GPS is fantastic.  Fast GPS lock, turn-by-turn navigation, all without using up data.  Nokia maps is OK, but you need data access for the maps program to find some local things (e.g. fast food places) that aren't already in the offline database.One bothersome thing is that my remote locking feature simply does not work (i.e. you send a text with a pre-defined message to lock your phone if you misplace it, for example), so I have to keep my screen locked.  This wouldn't be a problem normally, except when driving you're unable to use the phone then except by looking at it and using the touchscreen to unlock the screen (which I won't do).  This wouldn't also be an issue, but you can't use voice commands unless the screen is unlocked as well.  At least you can answer calls though.  If you're on bluetooth, then this won't matter.That brings me to voice commands (initiate by long press of the call button).  ugh. My old old samsung flip phone had far better voice recognition than this device.  I can sort of make it work by using a fake robot voice with a pseudo-british accent.  annoying but livable.The proximity sensor is good; no more face hanging up like I had with the iphone.The app situation is pathetic at best compared to android/apple.  If you're an apps person, I would not recommend this phone (the OS is Nokia -formerly Symbian- Belle).  You can see the available apps at the Nokia Store, and choose the correct phone.  You'll see what I mean.  If you can find the apps that you need for the 700, then this of course isn't an issue.The camera is adequate at best.  I like having a physical shutter button.  With fixed focus, anything closer than about 2 feet gets really blurred.Summary, if you want a very compact phone to use as a phone, that also has nice web access and great GPS, this will work well and is a great deal at about $200, carrier unlocked.Hope this helps


Good for the price

For under $4 case feels sturdy, keyboard opens and reclines fully (HTC Arrive), nice grip, snapped on in an instance and so far holds well. Access to all buttons is adequate and actually it "smooths" very annoying HTC Arrive quality - volume rocker is too light and is not locked when phone screen is locked, so volume can unintentionally be changed very easily. This case helps to avoid it (case is quite thick)(Just note - there is no screen protector, but front part of the case raised well above the screen to help avoid scratches when laying flat.


You get what you pay for...

I purchased this same starter kit off eBay.  First off, the case is very poorly constructed.  I couldn't even get my phone to fit into it!  I slowly tried to maneuver it in and there was no possible way for me to fit the phone in without damaging the case.  The headset is a lot quieter than the one included with the phone and a lot less comfortable.  The bud that fits in your ear isn't covered in rubber like the OEM headset -- it's completely plastic so it feels a bit uncomfortable.  The only remotely worthwhile part of this set is the charger, but even that's less than perfect.  For example, there's a "Car" setting that should automatically turn on when you plug the phone into a car charger.  I don't know what it is with this charger, but it doesn't trigger it at all, so if you want your ring to change when you plug it into this charger, you have to manually change it.  Even if you don't care about the ring, the charger itself doesn't last very long.  I had mine for maybe a month or two and then I started having problems with it.  I had to jiggle the plug after it was plugged in for it to even trigger a charge.  Even then, when I put the phone down, any slight movement of the phone, charger cord, or plug and the charging would be interrupted.  I at first thought it was the socket where the charger plugged into, but my phone charges fine with my OEM charger at home.If you're willing to dish out the money on this starter kit, I would suggest that you just spend a little more and get the OEM items.  I've bought plenty of generic cell phone accessories for past cell phones and most of them have worked fine, but I guess it has just been harder for the accessory companies to make quality products for this phone.


Exceeding Expectations

I purchased this case for my wife. She loves the case and it offers the protection we were looking for. After placing the case on the phone my wife decided to remove the case to install a protective screen. When doing this she used excessive force and broke the case. I contacted the seller and they immediately shipped out a new case, at no additional cost, and also supplied a tool to help remove the case easily in the future. Definately a 5 star seller.


Superb Droid tablet

Bought it yesterday without a contract. Cannot describe how good the Samsung Galaxy Tab really is! For all of those who were patiently waiting for an iPad-like device that runs Froyo 2.2, this is a winner. I have it on my home WiFi network and the internet download speeds are fast. My Droid Incredible will download the same pages slightly faster, but the difference is neglible. The stock browser is fine. It does not center the text nicley like Incredible does when I pinch in and out. Otherwise, it works well and is nicely laid out.All the Apps so far run fine and look great. I put Advanced Task Killer on the tablet. Interestingly, when I activate the Task Killer, very few apps get killed (single digits). With the (non-rooted) Incredible usually 30-40+ apps get the axe. I would surmise that Samsung put far less Bloatware on the this device than I have seen with other Droids.I read the review on Gizmodo before buying the device. Not sure what was going on with the Gizmodo reviewer. There are several possibilities: 1. They were having a psychotic break. 2. They are an employee of Apple. 3. They are new to Android and not the sharpest tool in the shed. The only thing that was correct in the review was the power supply is a bit unusual.I have an Apple iPhone (that I just replaced with my Droid phone secondary to poor reception), an iTouch, iPods and a Mac Book. I don't have anything against Apple and I use their products daily.My best advice with the Samsung Galaxy Tab is to pick one up for a few minutes at a store and play with it. See for yourself.


Good Unless...

This is a great little Zippo holder, unless your a; Mechanic, Plumber, or any one who works on the ground or in tight spaces it is not made out of good enough plastic. If you do just get a leather one, if you don't this is a great product. Also wouldn't suggest this for a heavy smoker, the tab on top will brake after a few months of use. One more thing, it will scuff the top of the lighter so don't use your rare or collective Zippos.


Iphone is the most convient and user friendly smartphone available

Easy to use interface with only 2 buttons makes this phone perfect for anyone no matter their tech level. With apple's App Store, finding fun, useful, or just plain random apps couldn't be easier. I've had an iphone since the first one came out and they haven't given me a reason to switch yet!


Love it

Got to me in 11 days and i'm in love with it. FYI this is not a note 3 so stop complaining about its lack of functionality! Great alternative no faults I highly recommend


Great Phone and Value

While I am an Amazon junkie, I got this phone through my carrier. There are actually four or five U8800 models. Presumably, this is the U8800-51. There is little difference in Android phones. They are all the same Chinese schlock. A couple of things you should know:There are phones being sold with four different versions of Android; <2.2, 2.2 ("Froyo"), 2.3 ("Gingerbread") and 4.0 ("Ice Cream Sandwich"). This phone runs on Froyo which will run 99% of Google apps. One downside to this phone is that it is probably cannot be upgraded to Gingerbread. For the VAST number of users that will be irrelevant.If you want access to the Google apps market (most of which is free), browse, use email - great. This is also a good media player (audio and video). Oh and it actually makes and receives phone calls too. I am a cord cutter and this is terrific communicator. It plays very well with my bluetooth headset and has a good speaker as well. The camera is good - not great. While it is 5 megapixel, the lens is very wide angle. The digital zoom erodes picture quality. However, unlike many phone in this range it DOES have a flash.One other thing that you should know is that Huawei (sounds like a Hawaiian disease) expects you to get technical support from your carrier. Their US tech support is awful.


I really like this case........

I'm really shocked that that there are not a million reviews for this case.It is really well made and fits the Samsung Galaxy S3 extended battery + back that they make and should fit pretty much any extended battery and back.The case has a rubber inner liner and a hard outer shell, but remains very light.The power button and volume rocker all have a nice feel to them, not too hard to press and easy not to accidentally press.I think this is one of the best cases I have ever bought and I like the fact that I can use either a stock battery or any number of extended batteries with it.


Fits Droid RAZR Like a Glove

Works as promised. My Razr slides easily into the Tune Belt and is safely held there while I run. The band fits easily around my upper arms and they're not exactly small upper arms either. And I'm able to use the touchscreen through the protective plastic cover. Yup, works as promised and is a great companion on runs.


Decent keyboard

When I switched over to a smart phone the most annoying thing to try to get used to was the keyboard...I still get frustrated with the touch keyboard, so, had requested a slider keyboard for my iphone for Christmas (I had only learned of this item from my boss).  While it doesn't protect you phone like a good case does, it does come in handy when having to text a lot.  The touch keyboard on the iphone is hightly frustrating and can make you want to throw your phone across the room..this Bluetooth sliding keyboard helps with that issue.  The only complaint I have is the placement of some of the frequently used keys (spacebar, comma, ?, !) The backlight on the keyboard is nice. This item is worth buying if you have touch keyboard issues like I do.


pleasant surprise

I have my V400 hooked up through my T-mobile SIM card and I am glad becuase it allows me to compare this phone with my old phone(nokia 3360)with the exact same service provider. This phone blows the nokia away with its reception. I have one of those houses that cells always loose signals in...not any more.The speaker phone is not that loud and as the reception bars go down it gets lower in volume as does the earpiece, but it is not a big deal.The camera is great and I just ordered the data cable to transfer the pictures and mp3s to my phone and to my computer.The rings that the phone comes with are not too great (there are only 4). But like I said, upload mp3s or download some rings. Game capapibility is awsome, Prince of Persia (1) is addictive. The phone has 5mb of disk space that it shares between games, pictures, ringtones etc. which is a nice feature. The calender is great and you can even download applications just like a computer. Battery life is good, I get about 2.5 days while playing with phone costantly.I highly recommend it because of its programmable menus, completely customizable features and becuase it can expand any way you desire it too via games, apps, rings, screen savers.


It Bounces!

I dropped my phone flat on granite tile and it bounced harmlessly. Once I recovered from the tense panic and realized the phone was fine I started laughing at my rubberized projectile/phone.  It fits perfectly well on the phone, although obviously adds a significant amount of size.  Still fits in my pocket although you can easily see it bulging through.  The important part however is that it protects my phone from all sorts of accidents.  The case is tough and seemingly well designed.  I'll update the review if I notice any design flaws.  The flap for the USB is a bit small so really thick usb plugs will have a hard time getting in.  My Anker Slim2 charger's built in cable no longer fits the phone as a result, which is kind of annoying, but I just carry a short USB cable that I use instead.  Again, totally worth it for the protection.  Oh and when it gets hot and sweaty in your pocket, moisture can build up under the plastic, creating bubbles under the screen protector.  I just opened up the case and wiped it down to get out the moisture and some grime that had snuck in at the edges.


Disappointed

I use this pen for my ipad.  This pen is very easy to write initially when it is new.  Unfortunately, this product has a very short lifespan, it will only last a month.  Nothing broken, simply the tip worn out, like a pen ran out of ink.  For the price, it is a very expensive product.


A PERFECT FIT!!!

This belt holster pouch for iPhone 5 Otterbox Defender Case is a perfect fit. I highly recommend this case as an alternative to the clip that comes with Otterbox.The Defender case fits in there nice and snug. Velcro works good. The clip fits securely on your belt.Would I buy this product again?  YES!


Do not buy this phone.

This phone is not intuitive to operate, you have to read the instructions which only cover the basic operations. I would not consider this a " smart" phone.  Second, AT&T has not worked out the bugs for activation.  The phone did not show the advertised screen when initially turned on so i could not start the automatic activation.  Instead I had to go on line to the AT&T website where 90 minutes later, I successfully completed the activation!  Choose anything else but not this product.


Not as Titled

The cover is just okay. For the price I paid, it makes sense that it wasn't exactly what i wanted. The case is not clear as I had hoped it would be, the back is opaque so for my black iphone 5 you can't see the logo of the apple or anything through the back. It kind of cheapens the look of my phone in my opinion. And the shipping, although free, took over a month. The plastic material as well is not as soft as I had thought it would be. But overall, it's a nice cover to use when I know i might mess up my phone and i can just ruin this cheap cover.


DO NOT BUY

this is copy item not oem.plus its not 4.9 ft. its only 2 ft.Please dont waste your time and money


BAD

This  is just a problem if you buy you will feel sorry for yourself.especially if from Bluemail no refund you send it back and forfeit your money to them money lovers.


Instructions not detailed enough

I bought this product because of the positive reviews here on Amazon. However, I found the instructions to be lacking in detail, and not intuitive. I ended up failing to apply both protectors. I think perhaps I might have gotten them correctly applied were there a link to a video on how to apply, but I searched the web to no avail.


not what I thought

This product is really easy to use.  I gave it a three because in my mind I should be able to plug this into the wall and then plug whatever into this (we will say a coffee pot).  I think you should be able to instantly see how much it will cost you but if you read the directions it says that the longer you keep something plugged into this unit the more accurate the reading will be.  It doesn't even give you an amount of time.  So now I can't even be sure how much money something is costing me because I have no clue how long it needs to be plugged in for in order for the reading to be accurate.  Very dissapointing and will try to return this product.


Screen protector

Overall, I am happy with this screen protector. I purchased it for my new iPhone 5. There are a couple bubbles under the screen protector that I can't get off. It is a little bit narrow for my phone too, but I am still happy with this product. It costs less than the other matte screen protectors, and I don't see much of a difference.  I still had a couple bubbles under the more expensive ones I purchased too.


After 4 months, rechargable batteries won't hold charge

I reduced my rating from 5 to 3 stars just because after 4 months the batteries suddenly no longer hold a charge. I can't get it to Bluetooth link to my iMac when it's charging. When it did finally work from my iPad, it was putting out everyting in mono. :pOld review:This speaker has more heft to it that I was expecting. It's solid. And the sound that comes out of it is big and sounds swell.I charged it up. Linking the Bluetooth on my iPad 1 to it took literally seconds. I streamed through the iPad for hours. It worked even when I took the iPad into another room, at least 25 feet away. The signal made it through several walls. When I turned the iPad off, the speaker went into a sleep mode.The only issue I've had so far is that it won't link to my iPhone 4. I'm going to do some more research on that. I'm not sure if it was my phone or that the juice was pretty low on the Switch speakers.


Great Value, Great Customer Service, and Great Quality!

I received the screen protector pack for the HTC One promptly in the mail and I am very satisfied with the quality and value of the product.  The previous products that I have used from iSmooth typically have been "fitted" to the screen but this one is a bit different due to the nature of how the HTC One phone is.  My other devices were an all glass front (Samsung Note 2, S4, iPhone 4 & 5, etc) which means the fitted screen protectors wrap around the cameras, sensors, etc.  Since the HTC has the metal bands on the front with those sensors, these are rectangular so the install of these is actually easier than on my other devices.PROS:* Smooth, easy install with little to no "bubbles" to squish out* Very resistant to scratches, crystal clear, and does not peel off unless you want it to...unlike that soft, gooey type that peels off after a month.* Great customer service and fast emailed responses to questions/concerns.* I LOVE the "Dust Removal" stickers!  I know that tape does the same thing, but these are made with a different texture and I can actually PUSH these in from the side or corners to get the dust spots out without having to peel the screen protector up!  I have yet to do this with tape!CONS:* There is no gum in the package like the old baseball trading card packs.  ;-PThank you for another great experience iSmooth!


Case is great now

Ok I had to re-evaluate my review. Because the seller finally sent me a new case out and the new one actually fit. Thank you to the seller I really appreciate it. The new case fits amazing and I get alot of compliments on this case. I like it because its almost like an outter box that you will spend $35.00 for. This case is cheap but has great protection for your iphone 5. I love it...The case is very stylish which the otter box you do not get that, I love animal print to and just feel in love with the case.


This only works with the Wilson booster but I'm happy with that combo

I went from 2 bars to 4 and no dropped calls!  I use it at home by the way.  A few months ago I upgraded to a Motorola Razr and that phone has great reception everywhere!  I don't use the antenna anymore because of that but with my other phones this made a huge difference.


Great Phone For the Price!

I was looking for a Android phone, but I didn't want to spend $300 more for one.  I paid $116 for this phone and for all the features this phone has that was a great price.  The description of this phone says the screen size is 3.1" that is not true, but I knew that before I purchased it by reading the reviews.  The total screen size is 2 1/2 x 2" and the size of the phone is 4 1/4 x 2 1/4.  Of course the screen size on this phone is not as large as the HTC Evo or I phone, but it suits me very well.  I wasn't expecting everything that you can do with this phone, so I was pleasantly surprised.  You can set up you email accounts and the phone will alert you to when you have new messages.  There is a gps that works pretty well even though the screen is small.  You can download apps for the android market.  I haven't downloaded but a few and so far I have had no problems.  I saw one review that said Angry Birds did not work for this phone because of the screen size, but I have no desire to play it on a screen this small.  I have downloaded UNO and it works pretty well.  The graphic of the screen are descent and the colors are bright.  The camera is not the best but it is not bad.  Pictures look best when you take them in bright light and are still. You can view pdf documents and make them larger.  Of course you have to move them around on the screen to see the whole document.  Calls are clear and the ringers are very loud.  The speaker phone is descent also.  You can hear the person you are talking to really well and they could hear me... so that was a plus.  One of my favorite things about this phone is I can say "call Jackie" and it dials the number for me!  You can also say something like "directions to Nashville, TN" and it pulls up the directions!  The keys are really small, but surprisingly input is pretty accurate.  This phone has the 'Swype' input system so that makes it really easy to type a text message.  Swype is an entry method where you place your finger on the first letter of the word you are typing and just slide it from letter to letter.  It works pretty well.  All in all I highly recommend this phone to anyone who does not want to dish out over $200.  It is well worth the price at $116, and I received overnight shipping for $3.99 with my Amazon Prime.


The perfect IPhone battery backup case.  Must have item.  Couldn't do without it.

This IPhone case is absolutely wonderful, and so much better than my previous recharging case of a different brand.  I used to have to charge the case, charge the phone, and then put them together.  With this case you put the case on, and leave the case on it.  The most amazing feature is that it has a circle of blue dots on the case back.  These dots show you the complete status of your battery power whether charging or not.  Now about the price!  Only one word to describe it......phenomenal.  Verizon was asking $100.  Walmart was asking $80.  I believe this one, at the unbelievable price is far superior to their cases.  Wow!  What a deal!


Nice Armband

I like this armband, it is lightweight and not bulky.  It is great for small arms.  The keyholder is pretty much a joke and can't really be used and this is a pain sometimes because I really have a use for it otherwise I would give this product 5 stars.


Juicy Couture iPhone case

Upon recieving this item I put it on my phone. The left side buttons did not evenly line up together and made it difficult to put the phone on vibrate. I had the case for 24 hours when I noticed stress cracks near the left side buttons and bottom corners. This product was cheaply made and sent from Hong Kong. I am sad to say I regret purchasing this product and I am going to think twice before ordering Juicy products from this site again.


Gift to daughter Nokia 6126

Daughter is very happy with the Nokia 6126.  Now, little sis is demanding one.  Very nice phone.


Great for the price!

The product states 2A and 1A, each for the ports, but when you have both ports charging, you get only 1.3A and 0.8A.


your moneybetter spent on something else

this is the worst screen protector I've ever try. the f*** can't pick up when I touch it. And they have more bubbles then and Kim Kardashians brain


This company SUCKS

WARNING! This company sells things "original genuine" and shows them in their pictures as packaged in the original packaging, but when they send you the battery its NOT in its original packaging! There's no guarantees if this battery has been used and abused an re-sold at the end of its life.. but they're selling it like its original!AVOID THIS COMPANY!!


great cover, unless you have a cheapo charger

All the other reviews are accurate.  I had an incase for the last year, but the cover was snapped on and off a few times, which put cracks in each corner, eventually chipping off.  Superglue didn't work for very long.This is a thin case, fits well, all the buttons still work, and I don't think it will get a lot of crud underneath it.  I also saw all the colors at Best Buy and they are different in person.  The blue is much darker than in the photo when placed over a black iPhone.  The purple cover is also more of a bright pink.  Unfortunately, I can't charge my phone in my car because I bought a cheap cigarette plug-in charger that must be slightly wider than the traditional one and it doesn't fit the rounded space in the plastic case.  I think if the opening at the base of the case were square, it may fit.  Bummer!


Fragil

Me sorprende que con tanta tecnologia sigan haciendo estas estupideces. Hay materialea mucho mas reaistentes y baratos. Estan perdiendo la batalla por hacer este tipo de juguetes.
