works poorly, and overpriced. Stay away from this phone.

I travel to Italy and a few other countries every year rand I thought buying this phone would solve the problem of being inconvenienced. I liked the idea of not having to fuss with a SIM card, as i didn't think I would have such an easy time in places like Albania or Bolivia. The hype on this phone made it sound like a godsend, and since i use it so little, I felt the sting of high prices would be offset by the convenience of credit card billing. I can't believe how many times I had to endure "no service". There is no excuse for that in the cities where i used my phone (Frankfurt and Rome). My phone always read "emergency services only",. After a frustrating attempt at getting an answer from this non responsive company, i was told the phone would lock when a compatible network could not be found. I could understand this in some mountainous outback, but was mystified why this would happen in Milan and Rome.There was also a total lack of meaningful customer support.If you call them, you wil be charged the extremely high rates while you hang on. If you use the "contact us" option online, you will merely be told to refer to the owner's manual.I am totally unknowledgeable about cell phones, so finding one that would suit my needs was a challenge. All I can say is.. steer clear of this phone!!The service is unbelievably overpriced I am now searching for a new phone. Do not buy this one.


Buy/Don't buy

Really nice durable cables. But the ten foot length on them has its down side. The length of the cable makes the data sync time and charge time really slow. It may take 10 hours just to charge your phone. And I have no ideas around that. It may be better just to by a short cord for a quick charge then to use these cables. Sorry about the bad review but it is what it is.


Great Customer Service

The product worked great but unfortunately had to be returned because it was not completely compatible with my cell provider.  The calling and the text messaging worked but the data would not (unless using Wi-Fi, in which case it worked flawlessly).  If the data worked then I would have definitely kept the Phablet but the main reason I bought it was to have a bigger screen for Netflix.  The reason I gave it 5 stars is because Indigi's customer service made everything so easy and they even waived the restocking fee. Thank you Indigi.


Does NOT fit the S4!!!

Snug fit , but the buttons on the case dont work.Quite worthless ,'cos the volume nor the power buttons worked while the case was on.At times it worked on its own whim and wish.


Great phone for the price

For the price you can not beat it!  I've been looking at phones for months now waiting for the perfect phone to buy.  I really wanted the HTC Sensation but didn't want to sign a contract and really didn't want to spend $500 on a phone.  This fit the bill perfectly! It's not flashy but it works.  With light use and turning of all extras (GPS, 4G, etc) for most of the day I only use about 30 - 40% battery life in 24 hours.Only con so far is the power button placement is odd. Because of the way I hold it, I keep hitting the volume button instead which is directly on the other side of the case.edit:Looks like everyone is bring up all the bloatware that is on the phone.  Yes, it has TONS of bloatware but just remove it from your home screen and get a SD card to put all your stuff on. Or just ROOT it! I don't see it as much of a problem now that it's not in front of my face (on the home screen).RAM may be an issue if you want to run a bunch of apps all at the same time but so far I haven't had any problems. It's only a single core.  If you really want that much running, you probably want a dual core phone anyway.The lock screen can be a bit picky. You need to swipe it just the right way sometimes. Nothing a custom lockscreen app won't fix.UPDATE:There is great support for this phone on the XDA developers boards.  Run a custom ROM on this phone and it runs like a champ!


Nice protection But...

Outstanding protection for your iPhone 5 but the screen protector s impossible to apply without bubbles and lint under it


Great Product, and Also Recommended +++

I love this case. I was extremely impressed with it when it came. I got this for my 3 y.o. son to use with my Kindle Fire. It protects the device to an extent I have not seen in other cases. I love that it has a built in screen protector. This is so far preferable (and less noticeable and annoying) than the film adhesive screen protectors that are available. The soft material that protects the device makes for an easy grip for young hands. It adds some bulk to the Fire but I find that it is quite comfortable to hold and read (or browse or play) for hours at a time. In fact, I personally prefer the feel of the Kindle Fire with the case on it to using it without the case. I was so impressed with this case that I immediately ordered the same for my husband's ipad. It is super-easy and intuitive to place on your device thanks to an extremely well though out design. This is one of the best cases I have encountered and definitely worth the asking price. It's just a great product!


Screen saver

The screen savers I received were definitely not for I phone 5.  They were much too large for the phone.  I did not send them back because it would have cost more than I paid for them .  This was a very bad purchase.


Static Reception in Headset

I bought this phone with my PPC-6700.  Since this was my first bluetooth phone, I was patient with the accidental hangups and inadvertent calling of people as I stumbled with the one button.Nevertheless, I became used to the devices.  Yet, the headset did not provide clear reception.  I noticed that callers sounded as if they were coming through a cheap AM radio.  Whenever I walked away from my phone (yet less than 30 feet), the static was terrible.  I returned it after eight days and I have a Jabra 150.  Hopefully, that will work better.


Jabra Freeway Quality

Do not get this product. The device is terrible. It only tunes in to one radio station and reception is about 60% good. It gets worser when driving around, with recep of 10-20%, minus the radio station keeps toning in with it's program. This product is terrible and I recommend singing your on song live before spending $100 on garbage.


Love it!

I've had this phone for two days now and there just isn't anything I DON'T like about it.Screen: The screen is a beautiful 5.7" FHD SAMOLED display. While it is not a true RGB display, it is still absolutely gorgeous. The viewing angles are superb and the colors are close to natural (assuming you use the Movie Mode).Size: I bought this phone knowing it will be the largest phone I have ever used before. It's actually smaller than what I thought it would be. It is pretty much the same size as the Galaxy Note 2, but also a little lighter. I can use most of the features with one hand, no problem, but I have pretty large hands (piano hands). Thin bezels just add to the beauty of the phone!Look and feel: I very much love the aesthetics of the phone! It's a real eye catcher.  I love the textured back , it feels solid and it definitely won't be slipping out of my hand. I prefer the more squarish design of the Note 3 more than the round, "natural" design of the Note 2. It looks more futuristic. The volume buttons and home button are rock solid and provide the right amount of physical feedback when using them. Although, I find myself accidentally hitting the home key a lot.Camera: The camera has been wonderful so far. I am by no means a photographer but it does the job superbly when I do want to catch that rare photo. The video on this thing is AMAZING compared to what I have had before. The 1080p 60 FPS is SO SMOOTH I LOVE IT. It's a little scary, actually.Call Quality: Everyone has said that I have been coming through loud and clear, no issues. Everything is clear on my end, as well.Sound/Speakers: This phone is capable of high quality sound through headphones but I never use headphones. The loud speaker is somewhat disappointing. It all sounds like it's coming out of a tin can. I don't use the loud speaker all that much though so it isn't a deal breaker by any means.Software: I love the S-Pen, I find myself using it a lot more than I thought I would. I use the ScrapBook option a lot as I use StumbleUpon daily. Good place to keep recipes, especially since I can tag things then search for them later. I love writing out notes as well and then sending them to people. I hate S-Voice. It sucks and pales in comparison to Siri or Google Now. I had the option to say "Hi Galaxy" when the screen is off turned on and it turns on randomly! It did it once in the movie theatres! So embarrassing. I froze that app asap.Battery Life: WOW. 5 hours screen-on time with mostly auto-brightness, but I generally watch an hour worth of videos a day on full brightness. It lasts all day and then some. It also charges in roughly 2.5 hours as well. I am VERY pleased with the battery life.There really isn't anything wrong with this phone.. I love every aspect of it. It never lags, it handles everything beautifully.. the only thing I didn't like was S-Voice, but I also knew that when buying the phone. Nothing has let me down so far.If you are on the fence about buying this phone, just buy it. You'll love it!Actually, there is ONE thing I don't like. Because of the type of display, white colors drain the battery more quickly than darker colors. On the international variant, the Dialer, Messages and Contacts have a black background whereas the AT&T; version has white backgrounds. This is dumb and needs to be fixed.But seriously though, buy this phone.Have a good day!


pinacle of symbian!!! what a way to go!!!

this phone is a dream come true for all those people who are still waving the symbian flag... this is what symbian at its finest.... and atleast elop gave symbian a swansong worth to be remembered.... although this phone is considered obsolete by mainstream buyers because it doesnt have an eaten fruit or a robot as a logo on it this phone is actually way ahead of the competition but because no one really cares about a an OS that has limited apps although most of the apps from the BIG two OS are mainly novelty apps this phone has the basics covered and does it well... first off the camera.... 41mp sensor with carl zeiss optics need i to say more... dont think so.... all im saying is it takes 10mb pics on full resolution mode.. 2nd the turn by turn direction it even works without a sim card unlike the others where you need a cell signal to get your satnav to work which is pointless because the reason why your using gps is your somewhere far and most likely theres no signal to begin with!!! 3rd memory capacity this phone has a 16gb internal memory and takes microsd card up to 64 gb plenty of room to store your music play your video files and take those photos in full resolution and record video on 1080p!!! and lastly... the rich audio recording.... this is not the first time nokia had a rich recording feature on their phones in fact ive had that feature even with my nokia n93 (google it) ive video taped a nightwish concert with that and audio is as good as dedicated camcorder and this is 2yrs before the first iphone was released and nokia already had a phone that has a front facing camera, video calling, 3g with wifi goes to show the innovation this company brings... anyways for all tech geeks out there and are obsessed with taking great photo but doesnt want to lug around a point and shoot or even a dslr buy this phone asap!!!!


Great buy

My son broke his Neon with over a year before he was eligible for replacement.  Looking to replace without costing an arm and a leg I came across this phone.  The phone was priced well and came quickly.  We took his old SIM card out of broken phone, placed it in this phone and it was up and running immediately.  I would buy this product again.


Scratched my iPod :(

I had this case for 2 weeks or so and will be returning it for several reasons:1. The case has a plastic shell in which the Touch is mounted. This plastic piece is rather rigid and it scratched my Touch from the sides, something I noticed only when removing the case.2. It leaves plenty of exposed areas on the Touch like the back top and bottom parts for the camera and loop connection. If I dropped the Touch, there were several areas that could have been damaged.3. The material is definitely nowhere close to being leather. It's cheap vinyl at best and the smell, feel of the material, and overall cheap look all scream vinyl. The white stitching on the sides makes it look more tacky.I wish I could recommend this case, but given my experience I will be looking for something better.


Very pretty cover but not functional

I agree with all the other reviews. Fits perfectly on my iphone 4S, easy to get on and off, but causes a pink hue when taking pictures. A trick I found (until getting a new case) to help is the pink on the back actually comes off. You can take it off without taking off the entire case, take your pic then put it back. How did I find this out? Well, based on my other issue with this cover. When you lay/set the phone on its back on a table or flat surface then type or swipe, it wobbles. Because the little pink swirl on the back is slightly raised so the phone cannot lay flat. If I take the pink part off, it is flat and the wobble stops.


Love it

First of i have the at&t version and it works fine charging and all. This dock is amazing just wish it came with a case that was compatible with the dock because you have to take your case off when u place it on the dock to charge. I use it for an alarm clock, a phone stand when I'm watching movies and tv, and when i hook it up to jam out while cleaning my house because of the auxiliary jack in the back


Good case for a good price - if you can afford to wait a couple of weeks

I bought this case for my 5C after I was unhappy with another case from another brand that I had ordered previously. The original case was cute, but it didn't seem to provide much protection for my phone. It especially didn't have a lip to protect the screen, which I believe is the part of the phone that needs to be protected the most. The Anley case is much more functional. True, it does not show off my phone's color like some other cases do, but it gives me peace of mind that my phone will be OK even if I drop it. It is a good fit for the phone and goes on and off easily. And with all the different colors that are available, everyone should be able to find one that they like. I definitely like mine (Turquoise), and it looks just like in the picture.The one thing that did not work for me was the screen film that comes with the case. I was probably extra clumsy, but I ended up with lots of bubbles and so I ordered a more professional film set with a better applicator system (the iCarez set, also available via Amazon). It worked much better for me.The one thing I wished I had known when I picked out this case was that you have to be prepared to wait for at least 2 weeks for it to arrive. It was not mentioned anywhere on the product site, so I didn't find out until I was already checking out, and at that point I didn't want to start over anymore. Amazon in fact gave me a much longer estimate, more like 4-6 weeks. So in the end I was happy that it only took about 2 weeks. But of course even 2 weeks can seem like a long time when you are carrying around a new phone without a protective case. If you are clumsy, I would definitely recommend to plan ahead and order the case before you plan to start using your phone or while you still have a backup case.PS: A month later, I am noticing that the case is now being sold via Amazon Prime. I assume this means that it is no longer shipped from China and should arrive sooner.


terrible problems with Windows 8 phone

We gave my daughter this phone for Christmas, and she couldn't have been more excited. That was before every person in the household and five different Verizon employees tried to make it work. After over an hour on the phone and trying everything, even a factory re-set, the Verizon troubleshooter finally said there is no way to get this phone to work. It does make phone calls and send texts, but cannot get any downloads at all... so no apps, music, games, or many websites. The Verizon person gave us a MicroSoft number to call, but I don't have much faith that that will work. If it does not, it is back to the store to get an iPhone. I think many people are making that same decision today. Too bad....


Internal memory not big enough - 160MB

I loved the phone when I got it, until I started to download apps and got a message saying the memory was full. I got 15 apps and it's out of space. Not a phone for me.


Degrades cell phone signal

The case fits very well, and protects the phone well.  However, it seriously degrades antenna signal, to the point that it is essentially useless.


Fast Shipping, Great Product. Just a little bit off

The GoodSo i just bought a Galaxy S 3 and i wanted to make sure its protected with cases and protectors. If you just spent $600+ this is the screen protector you want!. its super light weight, You can barley tell a screen protector is on the device when your swiping back and forth.. at first the texture is a bit awful while using.. But after you use it for 30mins or more it starts to feel like a real premium screen protector.The DownfallThe only thing i find wrong about this screen protector is that its a tad bit off. I can understand leaving space for the home button and camera + sensors, But it would be nice if the screen protector covered the whole screen. It only covers the LCD itself.. not the bezel of the phone.. So if your looking for a screen protector to cover your phone from head to tow than this is isn't the one you want..it reduces about 25% of fingerprints which is ok.. but i would like it to keep more off my screen.t


Samsung Solstice

Bought it for my wife and was so glad to have it. The service is good (awesome seller), as it arrived on time or was earlier than expected, and was packed really well. The phone itself functions perfectly for texting and talking, considering it's low price...Since it's a quad-band, I can use it outside the USA...I will buy from this seller again...I had it as advertised...Unbelievable find!  Thanks!!!


Beads coming off

I love the case but the beads soon started coming off the front after I received it.  Very disappointed with this product


Headphones broke apart in half by DAY 2.

My brother who is also a gym rat had been eyeing my beloved bluetooth headphones ([...]) for a while, so I decided to get him his own. I wanted to try a new brand to compare the sound quality and battery life. But even before we got to compare and contrast, the JLab headphones broke in HALF on his second day of use while putting it around his head (it's big, but alas, it's still human-sized). The headphones were literally dangling, exposing the wires and the thin, flimsy plastic that was holding it all together.Time waiting for the package to arrive.Time waiting for the product to charge.Then finding out the product is not even reliable enough to put around your head.If it matters (perhaps you're still debating), I have to admit, the sound coming from the headphones was louder and provided better quality than my SplashBudz. But at least mine were designed with flexibility and durability in mind.All in all, a waste of time.


FLUSH THIS POOP PHONE IN THE TOILET!

ARRRGGGG!!! I swear I researched this phone before I bought it, but that didn't do me much good.  The reviews were mixed, but that is the case with so many cell phones.  I wanted a phone that didn't require me to have the internet because I'm not that tech savvy and didn't need it.  This was just one of two phone choices that Verizon offers (other than a flip phone that comes with a nerdy belt holder) for people like me.  The texting on this phone is UNBEARABLE.  There's no way to have your text messages categorized by inbox and outbox so I can no longer delete all outgoing messages - I have to just erase them one by one or delete all the messages on my phone at once (in/out/draft).  It also makes it hard to follow a conversation.The video and camera on this phone are so bad.  The sound on the video is odd - it sounds like there is water running in the background.  The picture quality for pictures or video is terrible and when I send video or pic messages no one can really make out the image well - it's very blurry.  The sound on the phone is not good - I am forever having people tell me they can't hear me.  I get dropped calls all the time now and NEVER had dropped calls before.  I live in a major city so it's not that there aren't enough towers around.  This phone belongs in a toilet because it's a piece of crap.  I rarely give a negative review but I'd like to save anyone else from wasting their time buying a piece of garbage phone like this.  Now I am stuck with this thing for another year and a half.  My last phone was FANTASTIC and I would have kept it forever but it was so old it wore out :(  You can find a much better phone that this - go ahead and splurge for the internet phones because I think companies are really only pooling their resources into those phones.  Phones w/out internet are a dying breed.  This one is the last nail in the coffin for me.


Samsung Galaxy S3 repair

This worked better than advertised.  A heat gun and a dry wall knife to start the separation near the bottom of the phone.  Use the plastic tools once you get it started.  Be careful with the menu control contacts as they stick to the glass as you peal the glass plate off.


Best dock for spare battery charging and audio output

This dock was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted something that could charge my phone, charge a spare battery, and output audio at the same time. This dock does all of that. I wish the dock was a little bit heavier in the base. While it is stable as is, and I can even text with the phone in the dock without fear of knocking it over, I have to be gentle with it. Here are a few things to keep in mind when purchasing this dock:1) The spare battery does not easily go into the charger. As mentioned by another reviewer you need to start with the corner with the metal charging prongs and rock it in. It isn't that difficult once you get the hang of it.2) The phone will not go into dock mode unless an audio cable is plugged into the dock. If you only have the power cable plugged in the phone only charges and doesn't trigger dock mode.3) If using audio output, make sure to configure your phone to output the audio or you will get nothing out of your speakers. This isn't a problem with the dock.Here is one issue I had with the dock that I want to mention. I had some electrical interference when the dock was playing audio. I tried many different chargers, outlets, usb cables, etc... I found that if you have your phone volume lower and the speaker volume higher the interference is much more noticeable. However, if you have the phone volume all the way up and the speaker volume lower the interference isn't audible.The seller was quick to respond to email and was very accommodating. In the end I was very happy with my purchase.


Love it!!

I recieved my Iphone4 in the mail and was so excited to see that it was practically brand new. No scratches, no visible defects just like as the description said. I love it and I would order again from the seller!


horrible

The phone died. Had to get a new one already! Didn't have it for 1 month. I am not satisfied.


Poor Shipping Procedures

Only received a star because you are forced by Amazon to give a star.  I am truly disappointed and disgusted by the way this product is being shipped (or is it?)  I received an email on July 12 letting me know that the item shipped.  However, I continue to track and haven't seen the item yet, even though it was implied that I would receive this item on July 15, then July 16.  Today is July 17 and it still says delivered by July 16.  Below is the tracking info:Detailed Results:Departed Shipping Partner Facility, July 14, 2011, 5:01 am, UNION CITY, CA 94587Electronic Shipping Info Received, July 15, 2011Arrived Shipping Partner Facility, July 13, 2011, 6:27 pm, UNION CITY, CA 94587Picked Up by Shipping Partner, July 12, 2011, 4:00 pm, FERNLEY, NV 89408It basically looks like my package is going the wrong way.  Should be going east.  This is poor logistics and I am extremely disappointed with this company.  Will not do business with them again and will make sure that I inform as many people as possible about their business practice.


First an Android...next the case!

Took forever to pick the phone and you can guess it was longer to pick the gel skin case :  I wanted a fun color, appropriate for a business woman, that would also make the phone easy to find in a black hole (purse), stand out from my husbands similar phone, and keep the phone protected from my drops.  This Cruzer case accomplishes all and more...easy to install and buttons are reached with no problem...and so much better than any of the offerings from the cell stores, big box, or mall carts.  I bought the red one but might get another in order to switch with seasons or purse.  I can see now where cases are becoming a new au currant accessory. Shoping with Amazon is the best.


Cheap Cheap Cheap did I say Cheap

So I read a ton of reviews saying how good this product was . So I tossed out the 60 bucks . Well after the first use of the product I was ecstatic I was so happy with the sound quality , and the ease of use . Unless you have a very small head the fit is uncomfortable snug. After three days of use the Bluetooth started shorting out on me . I contacted the company they said they would check it out but if the headphones showed any bit of water damage they would not refund my money . Even though they claim to be sweat proof . So I decided to fiddle with them a little more instead of pay the 20 bucks it would cost to ship the product out . Bluetooth kicked back up once I reset everything . Another week in the left head phone snapped when I was taking it off . Cheap screws that had already rusted out was the cause . So I used a rubber band to keep them together . That worked for another week and the right one broke off , again the rubber band seemed to fix it better . Next the bluetooth stopped working all together . I am so disappointed that a company could charge so much for a such a cheap product it is disgusting . I will never buy a product from this awful company again .


No major complaints, however...

Just a few things to note:- The item I received matched the description, but isn't the one pictured in the product image. It's a different color and little bulkier than that one, but that's not a problem.- The item I received is clearly not "Brand New." I suppose it works as a brand new one would, but it's clear from the scuffing on the bottom (and the scratch on the front) that it's been used before. This wouldn't be a point of contention, if this item's title weren't "Brand New Palm Treo ... USB Sync..."- The included AC adapter plug doesn't fit snugly into the dock. It goes in, but not all the way, as one would expect the plug to. And yes, the AC adapter cord is oddly short. You may also want to pick up an extension cord.- The description never claimed it had one, but it's important to note that the dock lacks a HotSync button. You'll need to manually navigate into the HotSync app on your Palm after plugging it in and initiate the sync that way -- so you don't get that 'plug it in and press the button' convenience that you may get with other Palm docks.But, barring all of that... it works.


NICE PHONE

I GOT THIS PHONE AND I AM PLEASED SO FAR DID MY DOWNLOADS AND ITS UNLOCKED I DOWNLOAD MY CANDY CRUSH FACEBOOK WHATAPS AND I AM PLEASED SO FAR. THE CASE IS OK.  AGAIN NICE PHONE.


Got to use this for 3 days and it's a mixed bag.

My boss just got one of these and asked me to set it up for him.  It's one of the new final production run models and wow is it nice, but wow is it also expensive.Impressions:If I was to judge it purely on functionality, it would be a 5 star device.  I love the fact that you can access web pages, email and maps and take photos and videos all using voice and gestures. In a nutshell Google glass is very futuristic with one big Caveat.The Specs:1) The first notable thing was that the battery life was pretty short on this unit.  I got about 4 hours of battery life, but I figure you will probably get 5-6 hours after you calm down and stop playing with it as much.2) Photos and videos taken with the Glass are just Ok, they are certainly not in the same league with iPhone 5 or 5s photos and certainly not even close to SLR quality but they are adequate for most applications, you get clean photos that you can show off to your friends.3) Internet access was pretty good in the sense that the images and text are clean and very pretty.  There is a lag and frame rates can get a bit bad at times, but overall it was really a pretty good experience.4) Don't drive and use Google glass, as much as you might think you can do both, you can't!  The brain is a serial processor, it shifts back and forth between tasks so fast that it seems like we multitask but when your using google glass it becomes very clear that your brain is switching around tasks.  Sometimes something will catch your eye on the Internet and you realize you have been staring at it for a lot longer than you might have thought.  Overall its lot more dangerous than talking on a cell phone while driving but maybe less dangerous than texting.The Caveat:First of all when you wear one you look kind of dorky, it screams geek at the top of it's lungs!Secondly and more importantly is the feeling you get from other people when they see you wearing it.  Even my wife was uncomfortable being around me when I wore it.  My friends all got quiet  and said nothing of any substance until I took it off.  Don't get me wrong, at first everyone is interested but after they get a taste of using it they then become very weary about being around you when you have it on.  It goes from questions like "I hope your not recording me" to eventually they either don't trust you or can't bother asking, so they just avoid you all together.  During my time testing it I could not have one serious conversation with anybody and everybody seemed very nervous around me.  So I guess my three star rating is based on the fact that the world is not ready for Google glass, and if you want to have any friends in your life I suggest you never wear it around them.  That kind of defeats the purpose so I am not really sure what Google glass is good for, you could use it while alone at home, but what's the point since your PC is right next to you.  The Dork factor plus the feeling of being shunned that I got when I wore them makes Google glass not something I would invest my money in right now.  Maybe in 10 years if they become common place, but for now when you wear Google glass your on the edge all alone.


Easy to use and no problems

I have been using my iPhone 3GS for years for one of my problems has been the battery life and the ability to run some of the newer applications on it.  I bought an unlocked iPhone 4S and needed to change the SIM to a Micro SIM.  Unfortunately, my carrier in Italy would not just transferred my number to a new SIM without signing up for a new per month plan.  I decided to give this SIM cutter a try.I first tried with a regular SIM that is no longer in use. It cut it perfectly and worked in the iPhone 4S with no problem.  I even tried placing it back in the iPhone 3GS with one of the Micro SIM converters and that worked too.  I did notice the size of the chip on my SIM that I actually used is a little larger than the one I cut.  With a prayer I cut the SIM.  It does look like it did cut a little bit of the chip, but less than 1 mm or so.  I put it in the iPhone 4S and success.  No problems!


economical but not top of the line

I seem to go through a lot of screen protectors (precisely the reason why I need to protect my phone). So was getting tired of paying top dollar and than having the screen protectors get messed up etc. and have to replace them.  These Halo protectors are very economical, easy to install but are cloudy and you can feel the difference on your screen - not the best but it gets the job done.


It's A Zip To Recharge Your Cell Phone

Here is a clever idea. Zip-Linq combines a retractable, 30-inch, USB 1.1 extension cable with a cell phone adapter.Use is fairly straightforward: Attach the correct phone adapter to the Zip-Linq cable. Extend the retractable cable, up to 30 inches maximum. Plug the other end of the Zip-Linq cable into any PC or Mac with a USB port, plug the adapter end into your cell phone and in about an hour, your cell phone is charged.Cautions: You need to remember to pull on the retractable cable from BOTH ends, at the same time, NOT just one end. The wire itself is rather thin and can easily be damaged or broken.Use a powered USB port, either on the computer itself or a USB hub with its own power supply.On the plus side, it is much easier to carry the Zip-Linq than the proper cell phone charger. The Zip-Linq only weighs a couple of ounces. Zip-Linq actually works rather well.There are a couple of different models of Zip-Linq cables to choose from. Be sure to buy the correct one for your cell phone. Check their web site, [...] for the latest information on cell phone compatibility.I personally would have preferred a longer cable than just 30 inches, but even with this minor inconvenience, it works and is very handy to have.


It's okay.

The quality of the case is pretty good, and I was surprised (happily) that it came had a kickstand on it. I'm not nice to my phone by any means because my last one was basically indestructible. One star was docked because of how hard it was to put my phone into the case. I was afraid I was going to snap the case in half. The other was docked because the item is advertised as being for the 520 and 521. I have the 520 and it's too small for this case. There's about a good 1/4 to 1/3 inch of space. Not enough to cause the case to be any less functional. It get the job done and it was cheap.


Ask for full description

The phone was in great conditions make sure to ask for the real descriptions of the phone and that the phone is ESN clean


Worst of the Worst

Samsung makes some pretty crappy phones but this has to be the worst of the worst. I needed a new phone without extending my t-mobile contract and this happened to be on sale (first sign to not get it).Problems so far:Falls apart easily (Back slides off and battery pops out)Bad sound quality (sometimes it sounds like your underwater or talking in a box)Random missed callsHorrible ReceptionOnly Pros:good battery life (very rare for a samsung phone)Bunch of other annoying stuff also.


This is NOT an iPhone Bumper made by Apple

This is a knock off case made to look like a legitimate Apple Bumper. The packaging is wrong and the quality is lacking. DO NOT BUY


(A Technical Review) Best of the Lower end Smart Phones

____7/20/14 Update:  Check T-Mobiles site. as of July 20th they had this phone listed at $99.97 full price.____6/25/14 Update at the end of this review7/17/14 Update____Went on the hunt for a decent inexpensive smart phone.  Had a couple trial and errors in the process.  I can certainly steer you clear of the Alcatel One Touch Fierce.  On paper the Alcatel looks good (similar specs as the L90), but in practice it was horrible.  Compared the LG L90 against the Motorola G but it was out of my budget i set myself @ $150 and the LG has better specs, so i got the LG Optimus L90.  I bought mine directly from T-Mobile for $160 unlocked when they ran a midnight special...they do that a lot lately, pays to be up at 1am.Since most sites don't really list the specifications I listed them here for you.Before I go into the dry stuff, let me say this phone is definitely worth the price @$160.  Going closer to the $200 mark puts it in competition with the Motorola G which Motorola is owned by Google so gets preferential treatment from Android.Lastly, since both the LG L90 and Motorola G are the same price i would opt for the LG L90. The L90 has over the Motorola G a better larger screen, ( 4.7 inch vs 4.5 inch and an IPS panel over standard LCD).  The L90 also has a larger capacity battery at 2460mAh over the Moto G's 2070mAh version.  The LG L90 also feels better in the hand and not as clunky as the Moto G.  Don't get caught up in the Moto G's fancy colored back plates, ( which by the way, will cost you $15 a pop).  The one advantage the Moto G has is an LTE version for $20 - $40 more.If you have champagne taste and a beer budget and don't mind going North of $200 the best phone out there is the Nexus 5 16GB @$349 directly from Google Play Store, which is also made by LG.  Spec for spec it competes with phones costing double.____SPECS:____MODEL> LG Optimus L90 (D415) - (D410 is the dual SIM version)2G NETWORK> GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 19003G NETWORK> HSDPA 900 / 1900 / 2100SIM> Mini / Micro.

Here is what happened to my LG Optimus L90.I use T-Mobile as my standard service but go into rural areas T-Mobile does not cover so I purchased a prepaid sim (net10 off ATT towers) to use in these areas.  All works well for me.  Yesterday I had to switch out the SIM on the L90 and when I inserted the Net10 sim the phone said 'Service disabled' and 'no sim'  so I put back in the T-Mobile sim and got the same message.  A call to net10 first yielded the sim was active and functioning, proven by installing it in my Nexus 5. A call to T-Mobile tech support and they confirmed their sim also was working and also proved by installing in my nexus 5.  The end result was the L90 suddenly and no longer would register any sim in the phone.  Online research suggested this is a known issue with many LG phones and is related to the Main Circuit Board failing.  Although this theory is highly unlikely as the phone functions perfectly fine it just says there is no sim in the slot but I do believe it is hardware related and not software.My good fortune is that T-Mobile replaced it as it was only 2 weeks old and shipped overnight a brand new one.My concern now of course is this new one going to have the same issue but this time when its too late to return?  If I had known this ahead of time I would have bought the D410 model with the Dual sim support, oh well live and learn.Also sad to report my wife's brand new LG G2 from T-Mobile has issues too.  Her G2 will suddenly turn off the mic and or sound.  It is fixed by a soft reset (power cycling the phone), but you don't know its happening until you make a call or take a call.I have been a big LG fan having 2 LG G2 pryer and 2 other LG phones in the past, hence why I turned my wife onto her G2 and ended up with this L90 model.  I have a sickly feeling that I am headed back to Samsung's corner, or worse Apple!i won't change my 5 star rating for this phone because i know the world is not perfect, and its still an excellent product.____UPDATE 7/17/14____Glad to report my new L90 has performed flawlessly.  I no longer switch sims out and only use it with the Net10/StraghtTalk ATT service.  I am also the new owner of LG's brand new flagship the G3 and can say the G3 makes the L90 look even better because using these phones side by side there is very little the L90 is lacking, in fact I think the screen on the L90 is just as nice if not better with more accurate colors._____


usb connection fails

The phone can not connect to any USB port, or mac or pc, I changed the cable and it does not work, not even charging the battery. I sent an email to Directbuywireless through Amazon page on July 15 and have had no response.I live in Argentina, now I sent it with a person who traveled to Florida, he was going to connect with an Apple Store to give him a solution.


very disappointed

I recieved my order Sept.20/2012 and much to my surprise THERE IS NO HEADSET CHARGER THAT CAN BE USED IN MY HOME. I'm a senior citzen who DOES NOT DRIVE VERY OFTEN and certainly DO NOT use the phone while driving. I purchased this for home use ,NOT TO BE USED AND CHARGED IN MY CAR WHEN DRIVING.NOW I have to purcase a charger for my home and the cost is 7.95 PLUS shipping!what a rip off!


A fantastic Case

Just got my HTC One M8 from Verizon and slipped i-Blason TPU case on my Phone. Wow, it fits great. All buttons and ports are lined up perfectly. Don't know what the Nay sayers are talking about. The 90% metallic shelled M8 simply looks amazing in this case. On top of that, the soft TPU finish adds great grip to this some what slippery phone.Totally satisfied. Will get the frost back as a backup case.


Died after 7 days

I bought this phone and also a Samsung Galaxy Centura Tracfone at the same time (one for wife and one for daughter). Activation went relatively smoothly and everything seemed OK, but the ZTE Valet screen died after 7 days of very light use. Amazon will take it for a refund and I plan to get another Samsung to replace it rather than waste time with another ZTE product. Anyone who's switched phones knows that this is frustrating - time had been spent making sure all the contacts and apps had been tweaked to personal preference. Now all that will need to be done over. Argh!


Good minimalist cover--though it may yellow over time (see update to review)

I like the design of the new iPhone and would really prefer to not have a case at all, or any protection. However, I know that I could drop it, and I know that the surface can be marred by ordinary use and wear. So I want it naked, but know that keeping it uncased would eventually (and, with the more delicate aluminum back and shiny mirror Apple logo on the back, quickly) mean scratches all over the back and maybe the sides.What I need: Drop protection for the sides and corners, and aesthetic protection for the back. With the lowest possible profile.I would go for a protective film on the back, but that doesn't protect from drops. It's also expensive, comparatively speaking.This Cimo case is the best combination of protection and low-profile I could find.The feel of it is flexible, a bit of give--midway between a gel cover and a hard shell.It covers the back and sides, just latching over the front edge minimally to hold it on. The volume and power buttons are covered with slightly raised, tactile buttons on the side of the case, and work perfectly. The ring mute switch is cut out, and you do have to slip into the notch with a fingertip or nail--not as easy as with the iPhone bareback, but not difficult. The speaker, mic, headphone jack, sync jack, and back camera are all cut out well.The fit on the phone is just fine--tight enough, still not difficult to apply or remove.The color of the "Frosted Clear" I got is not transparent completely: It is a bit frosted. You can, however, see and read the back of the phone through. Due to the frost of the plastic, the Apple logo no longer has the mirror shine. But it's easily visible. The surface of the case is shiny--not a high gloss as a hardshell case might have, but still shiny.There is no screen protector shipping with this: It's the case only.Thus far, I'm pretty satisfied. I know it's going to get marred through use--but then, that's why I'm putting a cover between the iPhone and the world, to take the hit for the iPhone. I can throw this away and buy another in months or years when I need to.A good product, the best that I have seen yet for my desires.*** Update 6 months later: While it has held up well in condition, the cover has notably yellowed since I put it on the phone in October.


Works great!

My screen went on smoothly with NO bubbles. Clean the glass with the cloth, don't touch the sticky side and work carefully. I had it on my iPhone for 2 weeks now and it's perfect.


Great features but poor phone

I tried the Sony Erickson w600i  and really loved that little gem. Mp3 player works great and the built in speaker, while it isn't good for music, is great for audio book and podcasts without the bother of headphones or those irksome earplug things. Push the camera switch and it becomes a mini digital camera (not like taking pictures with a phone). And it interfaces with your computer easily. I didn't bother with the included software rumored to be buggy. It just shows as an external drive. The swivel design seemed OK. It's only needed when you use the keypad and that was less often than I would have thought. The problem was it's a lousey phone! People told me they couldn't hear me and frequently asked - What's all that noise? I ended up with a Razr V3 which works great as a phone and is has the best speakerphone I have used.  I do miss the W600i.  I  hope the next version will have a better phone and speakerphone as that is essential to me. I would dump the V3 in a minute if they would improve the phone side of the W600i


Great looking phone....if yer into that sort of thing

I'll start with the bad first, given the amount of interest this phone has generated.1) The Phonebook application is a little...wonky. Some people have said you can't add more than one piece of contact info per contact, which is NOT true. You can, but its nearly hidden underneath the "MORE" function while editing the contact. However, its not convenient and you cannot add additional e-mail addresses or phone numbers to your contacts using the Phone Tools app...which is annoying, since T-Mobile charges $30-40 for the hardware/software bundle.1a) It also takes forever to scroll through your Phonebook contacts. I thought it MIGHT be caused by having some SIM contacts, so I transfered all of them to phone memory. No dice. The scroll speed is untenable. Even my wife's Moto V330 is quicker. What gives? I had to create a voice prompt for almost every contact in my list.2) Even at full blast, the volume just isn't loud enough. Plus, the "audio sweet spot" on the speaker is hard to keep next to your ear. If you are planning to get a Bluetooth headset and use that exclusively, this shouldn't keep you from getting the phone.3) Compared to a Samsung V205, a Sony Ericsson P910i and Motorola's own V330, the RAZR gets poorer reception. The previous phones mentioned all get four bars at my house. The RAZR gets 2. This even after calling T-Mobile tech support for help. Their advice? "Keep turning the phone on and off and it will hopefully find another tower."4) T-Mobile offers NO games for this phone yet. Given how high profile this form factor has become, I find this level of support to be somewhat poor. I know - you don't buy a phone for its games. But just to show how lacking T-Mobile's support is...the RAZR includes a demo for BeJeweled. After the (very) short demo is over, it asks if you want to buy it. Clicking the link brings you to a webpage that says "Sorry, we don't offer games for your phone yet". My wife's V330 has a similar issue. She's had it for over 4 months and services like T-Mobile STILL offer no games for the phone. Again, I know you shouldn't buy a phone based on the number of games offered for it, but its still a feature, something to whittle away the time while waiting at the DMV.5) Camera phone still only 640x480. Decent pics at that resolution, but given that there are cheaper phones on the market (I didn't get this phone for free) with higher pixel values, this is a moderate oversight on Moto's part6) Phone response is fairly poor as well. Example - going through my contacts by pressing keys (going from Q to R to S)...so very slow. You think the phone hasn't responded so you mash the button again, at which point it responds to TWO button presses and you have to start all over again.7) The Phone Tools application is a little user unfriendly and totally geared to people who mess around with Outlook CSVs on a daily basis. I've managed to get it to work, but not without some work.Alright, so now for the good.1) This phone is a veritable conversation piece. Oohs and ahhs all around...if you care about that sort of thing. I usually don't. I just want a functional phone that gets good battery life, gets a decent signal and can withstand a beating (I'm a klutz). But if you do care about the conversation-worthyness of your cell phone, this one has it in spades.2) Great battery power. I've had it on for 5 days at moderate usage and I've still got 2 bars left.3) This is a sturdy phone. My kid has already dropped it on cement twice and I've seen NO scratches at all. Maybe I'm lucky, as another reviewer mentioned that poor build quality on his piece. I've not had any issues. The phone is rock solid.4) The usual amount of ringtones and wallpapers....all of which are amazingly expensive. Why does it cost 2 bucks for a hi-fi ringtone lasting 20 seconds when I can buy the song at iTunes for a dollar?5) The PhoneTools software allows you to create your OWN ringtones. I haven't played around with the software yet, so I'm going to guess that your abilities to import MP3s or CD-audio will be truncated to some degree.6) Excellent Bluetooth performance. Haven't had the opportunity to test file transfers and such, but the RAZR's connection to my Moto BT headset is great. Doesn't matter which side of my body they are situated. Decent sound quality even at 20 feet of unobstructed space.7) Did I mention this phone is attractve?8) Ringtones can get quite loud, even without degrading ringtone sound quality. I wish the speaker was this loud.This phone has some serious shortcomings - most important among them is the poor performance of the Phonebook app, poor signal quality and low speaker volume. Ordinarily, I'd be bringing the phone back, like, tomorrow. But the design of the phone and its excellent BT performance makes me want to hang onto it.Hopefully, Moto learns from their mistakes and releases a RAZR V4 with better earpiece volume and snappier response times.


Tried 3 different screens, all had scratches

Oct. 31: I purchased a Kindle Fire and a ZAGG screen protector. It seemed like an outrageously high price for just one, but the salesman said it was guaranteed for the life of the device. He also offered to install it for me, but the installation charge would have almost doubled the total price.The salesman told me to register the screen protector as soon as I got home, in order to begin its lifetime warranty. When I did, I was relieved that I didn't have to create and remember yet another password. The registration was based solely on my email address.When I got it all home, I discovered that installing a ZAGG is way more complicated than any I had encountered before. (One of the instructions I really did not like was the one that says not to turn the device on FOR 12 TO 24 HOURS AFTER INSTALLING THE SCREEN PROTECTOR, but that's a setback for the buyer regardless of who is doing the installation.) The process involves a special solution (included) and instructions on how to wet your fingertips to avoid getting prints on the screen. I decided to save myself the frustration.Nov. 1: I returned to the store and paid the exorbitant price to have this installed. With sales tax, this screen protector now cost close to forty dollars.As the salesman tried to put it on, he discovered it was scratched, so he took a second one off the rack and installed that instead. When he finished, I asked about the scratches (yes, the second one was also scratched) and he said they should "work themselves out" over the next day or so.Nov. 2: The scratches, of course, did not "work themselves out." I returned to the store and the salesman installed a third ZAGG screen protector. When he finished, I noticed that the scratches on this third one were worse than the first two. He said the store clearly had a bad batch, and I should contact ZAGG, explain the problem, and have them ship me a replacement.I went back to the ZAGG website and was given two options to start the replacement process: sign in WITH PASSWORD, which I don't have because the original registration process did not ask for, or issue a password; or, the second option was to register my product (which I had already done). That was the first hangup.The second hangup was the cost of shipping. You have to pay to ship the bad screen to ZAGG, but you also have to provide a credit card number because there's a shipping and handling fee for the replacement. That's right. They won't just charge you shipping, they'll also charge you for the time it takes them to put the screen in the envelope ... and they DON'T TELL YOU how much that shipping and handling charge is going to be.Nov. 3: I took the screen protector and both receipts (the one for the protector, and the one for the installation) back to the store, and it got a little ugly for a few minutes. They wanted to refund the cost of the ZAGG but not the cost of the installation. I told them their alternative was to waste every sealed, scratched ZAGG on their rack until they were all gone, or they could refund both charges.They chose to refund both charges rather than have an empty ZAGG rack. In other words, they chose to continue to sell scratched ZAGGs to unsuspecting customers.I finally got out of there with my money, and came back to Amazon where I ordered a highly-rated competitor's screen protector. It's a set of two protectors that cost about twenty percent of what ZAGG charges for this one.CONCLUSION: This might be the best screen protector ever made. Who knows? I would have to try one that wasn't scratched, which this particular store couldn't deliver on. Aside from this one store's unfortunate batch of defective screens, the problems with ZAGG's "lifetime guarantee" were twofold:1. Their "Who are you?" attitude when it came time to log on to their site in order to deal with the problem (i.e., asking me for a password when there was no password involved in the original registration process).2. Their practice of pre-charging an unspecified shipping and handling fee. Not only do I not know how much that charge will eventually be, I also don't know how many times I would have to return the product (and get dinged for the shipping and handling fee) until they get it right.


Best Screen Protector

I work in plastics and I have to tell you, these guys know what they're doing.  From the instructions to the substrate, this high def screen protector lays flat so smoothly, you can't even tell its there till your finger hits the edge.  I'm really impressed by this small yet significant product.


Excellent quality, Great fit.

This is a super case, fits perfect. Great looking design, my 6 year old son calls my evo the Batman phone now. Provides more protection than a cheap hard shell or rubber skin. I have owned a couple of otterboxes in the past few years. This case is just as good, for a lot less money. It doesn't make the phone bulky, good size. I am surprised it costed so little.


never shipped, misleading "in stock" item, AVOID!

I went to Amazon and then ordered this in stock item, and a few other items to get the free shipping.All the other items were shipped but then a week later I get an email from Amazon saying "Due to a lack of availability from our suppliers, we will not be able to obtain the ...item from your order".So I never received the replacement battery I needed for my phone and Amazon still allows this item to be listed on their site as "In Stock" and available to ship.This is very misleading and would rate this supplier and Amazon zero stars if I could!


Sucked Get a Name brand phone

ok, this is my 2nd review of this phone. i got the phone and it was decent.... then after 4 hrs of use that is when s*** messed up. the phone would become un responsive but it would only last for like 3 min then work for like a day and do it again, aside that i noticed when you would charge it via wall charger the phone would press the screen for me, not in a good way either it was like 50 fingers on my screen all at once messing stuff up. but that was when it was charging so no problem right? wrong the battery only last about 3hrs of screen time and i used this phone in collage so that sucked.. after 2months of this annoyance the phone started to work perfectly and about 1 week later the screen just died.. like the touch for it stopped working..... Long story short just get a BRAND NAMED phone where the company will help you and fix it or play russian roulette on getting a halfway decent one... i have a nexus 4 now on straight talk and it works flawlessly dont get a cheeply made phone and plan on it working for a while (note casses nor any other will work on this phone and they never got back to me about a new case )


Do not buy.

Keypad doesn't work. The phone is cheaply made. Drops calls. Battery life 20 minutes.


Slim, light weight and much easier to swap in and out than other cases I have tried


Why

Looks like a good case in the picture but when I got it in the mail looks cheap and it doesn't protect the whole phone


Excellent product and dazzling customer service

The new MFI cables are outstanding!  They are tough and strong, and every indication is that they will hold up very well.  These are vastly better in quality than the ones I purchased last year, and way ahead of any other comparable product I have used.  The new cords are hefty and at times slip off the connector port if I am using the iPad while charging it.  But that is a tiny inconvenience in exchange for greater durability in the cord.  The cords are a useful length, the price is reasonable, and the colors are fun.  Customer service from The Friendly Swede is the best I have ever experienced from any company. They actively solicit feedback from customers and respond quickly (within 24 hours or less).  I recently asked whether they were selling cords with lightning connectors, and not only did they answer (yes) but they are also sending me a complimentary set.  If more businesses treated their customers in the helpful and respectful way The Friendly Swede does, our world would be a happier place.


good phone

I bought this phone on virgin mobile website and its a good phone nice looking and its fast, the only problem I don't see not phone case for it yet!


Nice phone - except in the sunlight

PROS:  This phone has good call quality, is small and will fit in a pocket, has a QWERTY touch keyboard, and is user friendly.CONS:  You cannot see the touch screen when you are outside in the sunlight.  If it's a sunny day it's hard to see the phone even when sitting inside of a parked car.  This is not true of other touch screen phones such as the IPhone.


DON'T BUY THIS POWER SUPPLY

I bought 2 of these. When I turned one "ON" it worked well enough to get the Wii going but when I put in a game disk, the Wii did not recognize it. I tried a lot of other games with the same results.I went as far as calling Nintendo & having them issue a repair slip for a "defective disk drive".I later tried an original power supply from another system and all the games loaded & worked just fine. So, I tried the second power supply just to find the SAME PROBLEM PLUS "SCREEN STATIC".These units are cheaply made & are very light compared to the originals.I guess you get what you pay for & now I have to call Nintendo & tell them to cancel the repair order.PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! I threw my money (and both power supplies away).


Can't GetvAny Better

Recieved the product fast and works as said, no problems whatsoever thanks a million guys if your looking for true quality buy this extended battery cheap and reliable


Fantastic, even though I needed a hacksaw!

I so wanted to mount my iphone on the dash of my 1997 BMW E90 3 series (RHD UK model). In previous cars I could find somewhere to velcro an old universal mount but nowhere easy on the BMW. It has the standard 'Business' single CD hifi. A Google image search found the Mountek mount which I actually bought from Ebay as I live in the UK.Unfortunately, when I received it, I found it would not go into the CD slot as the 'legs' are a little too wide for the slot. Undeterred, I took a hacksaw to it (there is spring steel under the black rubber) and removed about 8mm from each side for a perfect fit - took 2 minutes. I am suspecting the BMW unit is the exact width of a CD whereas most slots are a little more generous! Note that by width I mean left to right and not the thickness.I am so pleased with the mount that I am giving 5 stars despite having to void the warranty!!I really like not having to block air vents, controls or have a windscreen suction mount. As I run sat-nav, speed camera warnings and music all through one device, it is handy to have it within easy reach.Mountek asked for photos of my mod and you may well find a narrower version comes out one day. Their customer service is first rate, by the way.A photo of the mount:[....]. A photo of it fitted: [....]


Best thing I ever bought on Amazon.

Great purchase.  Sound quality is great.  Size is great for travel.  Connectivity is great.  Battery life is great.  Stays on my head when I run.  Keeps what's left of my hair looking unmussed.  Price was really good.I know they make me look stupid, but there comes a point in every man's life where that just doesn't matter as much.  I passed this point with wedding vows.


Helped me charge way faster at work

I got mine a couple days ago and have quickly found that my old charging habits needed to change! My PC at work charges my android at ONE BAR! That's why it NEVER reaches 100% during my 8-hour day! Anyways I've switched to the included cables and the difference is astounding! I'm always at 4-5 bars and quickly reach 100% while at work. If you have USB charging issues, try this thing!


Ballistic sg case for Samsung epic tiuch ( sprint )

Been looking at this case for a few Weeks now. After researching all the high end cases, this one comes out in top in every way. The epic touch is probably the best and most versatile phone on the market. It's extremely tough on it's own. Look up drop tests on YouTube. But this case makes your phone nearly impervious to anything that may happen to it.. Great case! Will definitely buy from this company again...


Novatel antenna for Verizon jetpack

The antenna pulled in 4G reception, where without it, it was only able to attain 1X. Pointed the antenna toward  the tower,  mounted on our satellite bracket. We are extremely pleased.


Awful!

The plug came out of the cord the first time I used it!!!! I was so pissed and needed tweezers to take it out! Worst product!


I-phone amp horn

I guess it would be ok, but not for me.  I have a protective case for my I-phone and it has to be removed to use.  It is too much trouble for what it is worth..


Not worth the money

This was a waste of money. It doesn't hold a charge. I would have sent it back but it didn't cost much and I was lazy.


Bling cases for HTC ONE X

I ordered these cases for my wife's phone and she loves them. They are easy to change and the pens work great for navigating. My fingers are big and I use one on my android and it works perfectly. She loves the way these cases sparkle. Even the clear cover went on easily. I had trouble with these in the past on my Kindle and another phone but this went on good and I was able to get all the air bubbles out. Very happy with this product;.


WIll Not Work With Galaxy Tab

Amazon, Newegg and others offer this charger. Both sites list compatible devices including the Samsung Galaxy Tab. Ordered based on good reviews but when I rec'd it, not only did the plug not fit the tab the mfgr stated its not designed to charge or power tablets rather "small cell phones and mp3 players". Any device requiring more than 5 volts is SOL. Sending back to Amazon. Great idea, poor communication of compatible devices. Caveat Emptor...Hex


Great speaker at a great price.

I had heard a speaker that cost twice as much but hated to spend the money, so after reading reviews decided on this one. It is great. The connection was immediate; the sound is excellent. We use it a lot outside to listen to music. Very thankful not to have paid twice as much for the other one.


Nice stylish basic phone

I bought this phone to replace the second Nokia 6085 that I had had. I didn't want another 6085 because they're so fragile. My first one worked great for two years until I dropped it, which broke the camera, made the external display unusable, and reduced the charging capacity to about 12 hours. My second 6085 was fine too until I dropped it also. In contrast, I had a Motorola V400 for about four years and dropped it several times, but it never seemed to affect that phone. All these phones have been used with AT&T;'s network.The 2720 is stylish, light, has a good main display and a good external display, and produces good call quality. The battery lasts a long time; I'm presently going on three days since the last charge, and the phone is still showing a full charge. I like being able to see the big external clock display by touching the volume key. In addition to the clock, the external display shows caller ID and an envelope to indicate a waiting message. Volume adjustments are also indicated on the external display.The camera in this phone is better than the ones I had in the 6085 and the Motorola V400. Resolution is higher, producing pictures that are better suited to use as display "wallpaper." Bluetooth works fine too, enabling me to transfer files back and forth with our Macs with ease, which means mainly pictures.On the downside, the 2720 isn't as easy to access email on as the 6085 was. One button touch on the 6085 took me to email. On the 2720, I have to get there via Mobile Web, which requires several clicks before I can get to Yahoo Mail. Once there the email display is rather klutzy, whereas the 6085 email interface resembled a computer's mail display.Sound quality is also a bit weak. At full volume, the sound is adequate, but usually not really loud. Whereas on the 6085 the T-coil (hearing aid) setting produced a big volume increase, the 2720 T-coil setting doesn't seem to do anything. I wouldn't recommend this phone to folks with severe or worse hearing loss. The speakerphone feature is weak too, with lower than needed volume.


motorola eq7

The speaker sounds great for its size. It is the size of a discman.I use rechargeable batteries, and take it camping. It saves the space of a big boombox and a book of cds.My kitchen must be 20x16 ft. and the sound is enough to make you have to yell over it to hear someone, w/o hearing any major distortion.Pretty good bass for a little speaker as well.Easily paired to my cell phone with 350 plus songs, makes it a good purchase for me.


Great value!  Great protection!

Sturdy case.  More protective than an Otterbox AND cheaper.  Good protection on the corners, which is the most important part.  While I am not about to go throwing my phone around to really put it through its paces, I am not handling it with kid gloves either.  I am confident this case will protect my phone.The only reason I am rating this a 4 instead of a 5 is because it does not keep the dimple on the Moto X.  If it had that, it would be 5 stars, hands down.


All About Perspective...

First, I will state that I am using this model cellphone to write this review. I have had this phone for one year, one month, twelve days, seven hours and fourteen minutes as of this writing. It has good battery-life; I have turned it off about a dozen times, maybe. I charge it regularly. It has never died, though it is time to replace it, as the charger no longer stays securely in place. This phone has taken a severe beating from me, and earned my respect thereby. It has hit the concrete a thousand times. I once dropped it in the sink, partially submerging it. I used a hair-blowdryer on it, then left it in my oven overnight to dry, and months later it's like it never happened. So it isn't super-delicate and will survive some abuse, I can swear to that. It has served as my daily internet connection (for news, shopping, Wikipedia, YouTubing, Amazon, reporting earthquakes to the USGS - everything the casual internetter does - all on an "unlimited" data plan, of course, and I am not here to review AT&T;'s service); it is my sole telephone connection, and likewise my means of texting and such; and my only camera, being myself not so much interested in capturing and sharing all of life's precious moments - though I do send a handful of pictures and videos, and so for me personally, the camera modes are "better" (more bells and whistles) than I need (though far less than others, I would also surmise); but there's nothing wrong with the quality, for the forty bucks they're asking right now. The most relevant thing I can say about this phone is this no-brainer: probably what will most strongly influence your opinion of it is what kind of phone you are coming off of, and how many functions you are used to having at your everyday disposal. If you only need a few things, this has them all and you can make a button on the screen for "shortcuts" like alarm clock, calculator, and anything else you want designated. If you are used to a quality smartphone in the $150-250-and-up range and you want a cheap backup, this one may be too mediocre for you, but it may be passable, if you are able and willing to sacrifice.. If you are accustomed to state-of-the-art technology, this phone is probably going to seem as a Stone Age relic to you, and will not do what you are used to doing. (I understand some cellphones cost upwards of $600; if you have one of those, this phone would be an insult to taste and an affront to your dignity.) If it is only a short-term backup, then it will perform all the usual phone, text, picture/video, and internet functions you'll absolutely *need*, unless your job demands more-than-basic internet capabilities. Those spoiled on quality had best look elsewhere.If, on the other hand, you have never had a smartphone, or have only recently realized that (as was the case for me) you are paying enough of a cellphone bill each month that you could be receiving internet as well, this kind of device is a heck of an eye-opener. It will do way more than you'll ever even find out about, it's easy to figure out how to use and find your way around on, and it's kind of fun just checking out all of its features. I never once opened the user's guide that came with it.There are better and worse phones, no doubts about that; I always thought simplest was best, but upgrading to this phone was, for me, a leap forward. I would probably not buy this if I was used to a real smartphone; however, this phone is a cool upgrade if you've stayed away from the technology so far, partly because of its ease of use. After the abuse heaped on the one I have now, it is time for me to buy a new cellphone. I'm going to order another one of these.*Update 1/14/2013*Still running strong; a couple of friends and family now own one of these, and we're just happy as clams. (Clams are, by nature, extremely happy creatures - or so I'm told.)Apparently, this model is considered dated enough that AT&T; still offers "unlimited" data packages with no throttling (as far as I can tell); phones that transfer data at higher speeds are not eligible for the same plan, but I still get unlimited talk/text/internet for $50 a month, and if this phone is slow, I haven't noticed. I hope they never stop selling them; I just bought an extra in case some evil should befall this one. I stand by my earlier review: this dandy device services my communications-needs admirably, though a real computer will still be necessary for any serious projects.


Great product,Just one issue

overall I am happy with this product.I use it with my Iphone4s and have used similar products with my Iphone4 and Iphone 3gs.It does charge my phone like it should but the only concern is that in order to charge the case I have to take it off the phone or it will not charge both phone and case.i have used similar products and I did not have to do this I would just plug it to one charger and charge both case and phone at the same time.I do not know if mine is defected or not but just beware.Over all I am happy with this product


It is an OK charger

I bought this charger because a friend recommended it after using to charge his iPhone. I have a motorola android phone and many times it goes down on battery when gps apps are used. So I bought this product mostly to charge my phone.Pros:1. This is a stylish product.2. Charges from direct sunlight.3. Can be charged from USB.4. You get a free pencil5. Easy to use***** 5 stars for the aboveCons:1. Charges from direct sunlight only. Doesnt charge if not directly inline with sunlight. -* 1 star2. It is only 1100mAh. Charges my phone from 15% to 70%, not any more.-* 1 star3. Can be used to charge only one device before recharging the solio. If you plugin one device and charge it for 15 min and try charging a second device it doesn't work. -* 1/2 starRounded to 3 stars based on my experience. I returned this product and bought a competitor product with 7000mAh capacity


It can't charge now!!!

I don't like this phone. The t-zone service is bad (compared with Sprint),I can't check any of my emails. I have just used this phone for about 20 days and it won't charge now. I don't know how to do with it, can I just go to the local retail store to have it changed or do I have to send that back to amazon? Who can help me with it?


H3... ROCKS !

I just got my black Motorola H3..Design:It looks aesthetically pleasing.. actually awesome!The overseas model has a rubberized finish whereas the US model is metallic. This applies to both Black and Silver models.Pairing:It works fine with my Nokia 6230i. Just a breeze to start using it.. Just follow the quick steps in the manual.Feel:It has a solid feel.. The buttons are quite hard to press, infact so hard hat u have to use both ur hands to actually get a grip of them. I would suggest setting the volume to the max before using the headset.. The on/off button in the center works flawlessly and is not that hard to press.The handset doesnt give a good grip over the ear and it feels like its gonna fall off. This is becasue of its "over-the-ear" design.Quality:The reception is great even when a few feet away. However, a wall or similar will cause a little disturbance / static.. Thats how bluetooth functions and is not a headset problem.The other party hasnt experienced an ECHO problem yet when I have spoken to them so..Conclusion:The blend of price, looks and functionality all force me to rate it a 4-star !!


Surprise

The case is nice, but the picture looks darker than the one I have.  Not a huge thing, but its a show stopper for a guy like me.  I like dark wood items.  It doen't match my furniture.


So cute!

This case for the iPad Mini is so adorable! I love it! Cats are my favorite animals so I was so happy to have this for my iPad. It looks great, fits perfectly, and protects it so well!


it does not work :-(

I have ordered this Nokia for a christmas gift. i have open the box, but i can't turn on the phone. i have charge the battery 2 days long. but the phone not goes on.


don't bother

not what you expect. doesn't charge up cell phones by just placing cell atop of it. you need to add accessary which of course is sold separately. what a rip-off.


Terrible, not woth it, (and I got it free)

This headset came free with my Treo 700 when ordered straight from Palm.  While the phone has been fine the headset has to go.  I'm currently shopping for a new one.  The sound quality is poor.  Calls are intermittently dropped, and it just doesn't fit well.


Alot of good for a little price

i am very happy with the Motorola HS820 bluetooth, i recently got it for my nextel i870 and i love it , no echo problems so far, light weight and very long battery life.Pros: Light weightGood Battery lifeVolume control niceComfortableGreat DistanceCon: Earpiece not fully adjustable like others


bad battery works short time and bad player

very good FM radiovery bad batteryvery bad playervery bad headphonegood bluetooth ipad and iphone connectionno more


Cheap Vinyl Cover

This is a cheap, no frills polyurethane cover that is custom fit for the Nokia Lumia 925.  The fit is good; snug and no warping or gapping except for a very tiny amount along the top where the USB and microphone ports are located.  This area is just a little bit loose on my copy, probably because so much of the vinyl is cutout here.  I can imagine this area potentially gapping more after frequent handling.The sides of the case have a glossy, smooth finish.  The edge of the mold can be felt around the sides of the case.  Again, this is a cheap case and I'm not surprised to be able to feel a line where the case was molded.  The back is micro-texture, matte finish.  The side buttons (volume, power, camera) are tactilely easy to feel and operate.  There is an almost imperceptible indent on the bottom edge so as not to block the microphone.  I made a few test calls and my party didn't notice any change in my voice.The screen protector is about 1/8 inch shorter than both the length and width of the phone's glass.  This is the first screen protector I've owed but seems like it should fit edge-to-edge, no?  Anyway, it came with the case but I won't be using it.Unfortunately, this case turns the really sexy, sleek Nokia Lumia 925 into any generic, last-year's-model smartphone.  What's the point of having such a great-looking phone if I never see it?  The 925's smooth aluminum sides make it quite "slippery" in my opinion.  This case does make the phone a little bit easier to grip.PROS:* Good fit* Inexpensive* Makes the silky smooth Lumia 925 easy to gripCONS:* Feels cheap* Screen protector doesn't fit edge-to-edge.* It's ugly :)PHOTOS:I've uploaded some photos in case anyone is interested.  Note, currently it necessary to click the "See more technical details" link in order for the photos to show up.


you get what you pay for

I wish I would have spent more and purchased directly from Blackberry or my service provider.  This battery had the life span of less than 24 hrs.  The vendor was not the issue, the product was a waste of my money... but then, you get what you pay for (at least it will hold till my real battery recharges)


Great phone for the money!

Purchased thru shopcelldeals on Amazon.  Had no problems with activation and adding triple minutes. (Previous reviews had issues saying TracFone would not honor Triple Minutes from shopcelldeals. This is no longer the case.) Called TracFone to activate and after inputing several mega codes, phone was activated and old # was transported within minutes.  Bought minutes through Tracfone - minutes were on my phone before I got off the website.The phone itself is a nice size and weight.  Does NOT feel or look cheap.  Touchscreen is easy to use.  Has many nice features and applications.  Also purchased the 4GB Sandisk SD card and adapter and car charger, USB cable and rubberized skin. (Total cost $50 and pennies not including additional minutes.)  The Services Guide is very informative but does not detail everything the phone does or how to access.  I'm not tech savvy and will have to do some research on all of the functions. Internet is accessible but, I would not recommend using a lot (may get a little costly).Some features: Has regular keypad name entry, QWERTY or a handwriting option to enter contacts or messages. Has calendar, memo pad, 2MP camera, MP3, multiple alarms, multiple time zones, Bluetooth. Lots more.  Great phone for the money and triple minutes for life.


Purchased Four and Three

Purchased Four of these units, and three of the four have already stopped working in less than a few days. One unit made it two weeks, and for the fourth I haven't opened it yet. However I will be sending the fourth back on arrival since the product doesn't seem to last.


Broken after 4 months (10 days after warrenty up)

First my facebook pages would bouce around and click on the wrong things.Then it would not let me unlock it so it would take for ever to unlock cuz the Lock key would bounce around making me mute it. After trying a few minutes it would unlock but the screen would be bouncing around. So I would wait a few minutes then i could use my apps or make calls or take pics. But now after fighting with it for a week the sensors in pad are completely broken I can't unlock it if I leave it it will make clicks and vibrations and unlock it self and open apps on its own, its always doing math with Pie and Square roots and such with if weird cuz I don't see them on the calulator pad. I loved this phone for the first 3 months then one day it just went nuts.


Amazing I love it !!!Wow!!! I recommend!!! Very happy!!! Thanks Amazon!!!

Amazing cell. Well to start the package arrived the day indicated, I received in my house. When I opened the box I found the Samsung Galaxy Note, beautiful, big, super-shiny screen, brought to book, the usb cable, wall charge. The instructions in this cell said to be unblocked, but to my surprise it does not work with Net 10 straight talk, tracfone, springt, verizon ect. Only a ATT GoPhone cell, maybe work with T-Mobile. Please contact before buying to selling the company that is selling. At no time was saying it was a Gophone. Now, I had to buy ATT GoPhone sim card. The net1o not recognized, and says the phone is unlocked, but not work. But besides all this I am glad and happy that I have my Samsung Galaxy Note. Very big and not heavy. The phone brings the S pen, came with a battery, did not come with cover, did not come with plastic to protect the glass, came with headphones, did not come with SD Card, you can use 8Gb 16GB.Asombroso celular. Bueno para comenzar el paquete llegó el día indicado, Yo lo recibi en mi casa. Cuando abrí la caja encontré el celular Samsung Galaxy Note, hermoso, grande, pantalla super brillosa, trajo el libro de instrucciones, el usb cable, el charge wall. Las instrucciones de este celular dice que es unblocked, pero para mi sorpresa no funciona con Net 10,straight talk, tracfone,springt,verizon ect. Solamente es un celular Gophone de ATT, talvez funcione con T-Mobile. Porfavor antes de comprar contacten al seller la compania que lo este vendiendo. En ningun momento decia que era un Gophone. Ahora, yo tuve que comprar sim card  Gophone ATT. La net1o no la reconocio, y dice que el celular esta desbloqueado, y no trabajo.El celular trae el S pen, vino con una bateria, no vino con cover, no vino con un plástico para proteger el cristal, vino con audífonos, no vino con SD Card, usted puede usar 8Gb 16gb.  Pero ademas de todo esto estoy contenta y feliz por que tengo mi Samsung Galaxy Note. Siempre lo he querido tener estaba esperando que bajara de precio. Gracias Amazon.


Sleek design with super easy set-up!

I had previously shied away from using a Bluetooth headset - too cumbersome and bulky a design, poor sound quality, annoying connectivity issues, but found this sleekly designed model to be extremely easy to use.  Set-up with my iPhone was simple and immediate without any problems.  The voice prompts eliminate any guesswork and fumbling so often the issue with other models, it's great to receive verbal confirmation that your phone is connected, the call has ended, etc.The noise/echo cancelling feature worked well when I tested during Black Friday shopping, with a loud crowded store as the background I was still able to clearly carry on a conversation.  The sound quality is good, however if you are seriously into streaming music this mono system may not be for you.Based on the features offered and the ease of use, I found this to be a great value for the money.  The only drawback I encountered was the ear gel becoming somewhat uncomfortable when in use for an extended time.


Disappointed.

First off, let me just tell you that I own an older Sony Ericcson phone probably made at least three years ago (low resolution screen, no bluetooth) and it works just fine. Mind you I've had to take a wire brush to the AC adapter receptacle once or twice to clean it out and get it to charge. It has four bars right now. So, I decided to stay loyal to Sony Ericcson and purchase this phone, the W810i, and I recieved it in the mail two weeks ago. All was well the first week regarding music transfer, signal, and radio. I decided to go a step further and get a Motorola H700 Bluetooth Headset and it worked okay with occasional beep telling me it "lost" the device. About an hour later I was hit with "EMERG. CALLS ONLY" across the screen with absolutely no signal. Okay. I then uninstalled my headset, waited a few minutes, and tried to make a call. Nothing. To roll this review up real good into a nice fatty boombatty this phone has gone completely haywire playing songs by itself when the keys are locked, incoming calls that I can't pick up, absolutely no calls going out, and just last night when I tried to call someone it made this loud high-pitched noise when it wasn't even on speaker until I had to turn it off. No more. Steer clear of all Sony Ericcson phones if you know what's good for you. Good functionality and signal are vital when it comes to buying a good phone. This one has neither. It is not a good phone. I want to break it.


Slick Design - Zero Comfort

I bought this Sony PlayStation 3 Bluetooth Headset to use with Ventrilo on my PC. Though I planned to use it with my PS3 as well. I paired it with the IOGEAR Micro USB Bluetooth dongle that I also purchased from Amazon.I love the design of this headset and I've wanted one since it was first released. I read many positive reviews which influenced my decision. I figured this was a no-brainer and that I would be happy and satisfied.Unfortunately, this headset is completely uncomfortable. The ear-piece is just too large to fit comfortably in my ear. I'm a full grown man and my ears aren't exactly small! You really have to cram this ear-piece in tightly to properly secure it in place and prevent it from dangling loosely on your ear. My ear started to ache after 20 to 30 minutes of use. If you're petite and have small ears, don't even bother with this one.Another Reviewer suggests not pushing the ear-piece into your ear canal, but instead just letting it sit loosely on your ear. This is not an option if you plan to move your head at all. If the headset is not attached to your ear securely, it feels like it's going to fall off. It becomes difficult to hear what's being said when the ear-piece is not in contact with your ear canal.I like Sony products and I love the design and style of this headset, but it's simply too uncomfortable to use or recommend. I'm returning this headset and buying the Plantronics Voyager 510 instead.


Looks OK, Fits Poorly

If you own the Nokia Nuron, you know it is a pretty slick phone. Literally.  The white casing of the phone is pretty slick to the touch. A case is a good idea if you worry about it slipping out of your hands.I looked all over Amazon for a decent case. The few reviews stated most cases did not fit well. A co-worker told me about Otterbox cases and recommended them whole-heartedly.  I saw found one for my Nuron and decided to go for it. After all, on Otterbox's site the case is $30. Amazon had it for only $14.It took almost two weeks for the case to arrive, but good things are worth the wait, right? The day it came, I opened the box only to see a slim, rubberized case. I put it on my phone to discover it does not fit all that snug. The side rails are pretty loose and I do not feel as though it hugs the phone safely at all.They are kind enough to include a screen protector with the phone. However, they are also sadistic enough to make the application stickers too sticky. After you apply the protector, one of the guide stickers would not come off easily, leaving a bit of residue on the case of my phone which turned black after one day of being in my pocket.I give this three stars because it seems to be average. The case makes the phone look good, and all the ports and buttons are easy to access. I would recommend checking out a couple of cases (like those $5 ones you see peppering the site) before dropping $14 on this one. I would send it back, but I would lose almost half of what I paid for it in shipping.


This is a little computer!

This phone is one of the milestones in the history of the cellular phones. Supporting an operating system, Symbian OS, you can download and run a lot of programs on this phone. You can turn this phone into a gaming machine, a camcorder or a digital camera, an mp3-player, a movie viewer, a voice recorder, a personal secretary, a GPS map browser, a book, a multifunction remote controller, practically everything that you can do with the computer, plus it is a phone(!!) and also you can carry it in your pocket :). Many of these programs are shareware, some can be purchased by paying a little bit of bucks. It uses the extendable MMC memory, it is perfect for storing videos, pictures and mp3s.Its nice look is also a plus. And also, since it is tri band and since it uses SIM-card, you can just use it in Europe and many other parts of the world, wherever GSM exists.I am just in love with this phone, especially after using a more primitve phone about 3 years.


GREAT BLUETOOTH! BETTER PRICE! AND AMAZING SERVICE!

I ordered the Jawbone Era Midnight as well as the Shadowbox for me and my wife. Both the midnight and shadowbox are the same but have a shade of different color.Great Price. Amazing Bluetooth from the quality to the sound to all the features this is by far the best Bluetooth out there.The packaging is not original but instead universal, after thoroughly checking the same accessories are included in this universal packaging.


Don't buy ANY case with a magnetic fastener for the Droid

I have not purchased this particular model, but the description says it has a magnet to hold the flap closed.  I have another case with a magnet which turns the phone back on when you put it in the case.  This runs the battery down very rapidly.  See other reviews for products for the Droid with magnetic closures.


Better than the most of the other phones i have had

I have been through all the cell companies (T-Mobile, Cingular, AT&T, Sprint, and now Verizon.) and am happy with this phone. All of the GSM phones would drop calls when I was in buildings and on the road. This phone has yet to drop a call. My last phone was the all in one IPAQ phone. That had the best feature set of any phone, but what good was that if the calls dropped? So I got this one and am happy. The bluetooth works great with my headset and as a modem for my laptop. I wish it did data transfer, but that is not a deal breaker for me (loss of important calls was). I got the transflash off Amazon for a great deal and love that ability to shuttle data between my laptop, pda and phone with it. All in all, I am please with this phone.


It's What I Wanted

This card, iPhone case is exactly what I wanted.  I'm not big on purses, and I usually just carry my 3 cards, phone and lip gloss, so it's perfect.  My only issue with the case is that, when taking pictures, it gives the photo a pinkish/purpleish tinge in the corner(s) (because that is the color of my case).  One way I've found to correct that is to color/paint the area, of the case (that surrounds the camera), black.  It works, as long as you don't take pictures in poor/no lighting.  Aside from this, it's a great case and I get compliments on it all the time.


Read this before you read the bad reviews!!!

All the bad reviews are becasue it is difficult to press the top button. This is true, the top button is difficult to press becasue the inside was not designed correctly.For thoes witht he case already, just look at the difference between the inside of the top button and the inside of the volume buttons. there is a little rased part that is missing. All I did was to cut up the sticky part of a sticky note and make a small oval that was 3 layers thick and stuck it in the inside. The button works PERFECT now. You could also use almost anything to just make the button connect better.The rest of the case fits very snug and its strong and durable feeling. My only two complates is the button issue (which I fixed) and the bottom is one big hole for everything, instead of sevearl small cut outs(just my preference).


not reccomended

i see no measurable difference either mobile on in a building using this product.  i was hoping for at least a one bar difference and even bought an upgraded antenna, with no sucess.


Charges iPhone 4 and Android, but the blue LED is too bright.

I've had this for 2 months now and its been great. For $10 it's a great buy to alternative USB chargers. I had some cheap $2 and $5 USB car chargers the AmazonBasics definitely has a build quality that is better than those, but still not nearly as nice a Motorola branded micro-usb chargers.. but hey what do you expect for $10?I am able to charge my iPhone 4S and Nexus S. It also works to charge the iPad, but I haven't tested how quickly it charges.One other thing to note is that in my car, I have an audio line in to my stereo. On some of the cheaper USB chargers, I've had audio line noise that was generated when I had the USB charger and the audio line plugged into my iphone. This could be fixed with a Ground Noise Filter for the car, but now with the AmazonBasics charger, I no longer hear any line noise.The only other thing to be aware of is that the blue LED light is too bright. It's quite blinding if you stare straight at the light and can be distracting while driving at night. A small piece of electrical tab easily fixes this, but its a minor annoyance. (-1 star)


Not worth frustration

Texting even utilizing the qwerty option is labor intensive.  Everything about this phone is labor intensive.  I knew it would not be "smart", but didn't think it would be this bad even with the low expectations.  Even trying to type in contacts was a trial.  Would prefer a different phone within the trac system (love not being tied to monthly payments after all :>)  However, one salesperson said the company is pushing more for the straight talk service and the monthly service payments, hence the few choices left on trac phones.  So with the very limited options, am thinking of switching to the old flip phone since that was actually easier to to search and type into...Update:  Took a week to change out phone.  Thought I'd give it a bit(didn't want the hassel).  But in the end, I had to.  The sound quality on this phone was terrible.  Could not hear on it well and others said they either could not hear me well, or I was "staticky".Disappointing.  (Also the battery on phone is less than desirable).Further update:  Purchased the lg530g in its place.  The key pad is perfect for my thumb nails to type a text quickly.  Sadly, can no long utilize home wireless connection or any wifi connections, but since the 840g moved so slow, don't feel I would have utilized it anyway except mini emergencies, and I can use the browser on this newer one if necessary.  I will just have to use my own minutes to do so if needed.  Point being, I can certainly type much, MUCH easier on it.


Great Headset, Ok PC Integration

I bought this bluetooth unit to serve as both my main mobile phone bluetooth and to conduct phone calls via my IP phone on a PC.  The headset is great with my mobile phones (iPhone 4S for personal use, Blackberry Curve for work).  However, the NERD PC interface is just ok.  It works, but the volume controls are confusing and ultimately, I could not achieve a workable volume level for listening or speaking.Best Features:-Call Quality is very good-Can listen to bluetooth audio over the headset (audio quality is good for talk shows/podcasts, but lacking in dynamic range for music)-Great Ease of Use-Has a dedicated on/off switch instead (not a button I have to press and hold for 3 seconds)-Battery life is good-Uses voice announcements to tell you how much battery life is left and who is calling-Looks greatDrawbacks:-Was not able to achieve satisftory volume level with my PC + IP Phone setup with NERD-Bluetooth audio sound quality is not very good on music (an expected limitation of the speaker size and lack of stereo)-NERD is not as small as other bluetooth transmitter/receivers (such as those used on a wireless mouse)Summary:This is a great headset paired with a mediocre PC interface (the NERD part).  I would recommend buying just the Jawbone Icon for use with mobile phones and finding another headset for PC use.


LG g pro great phone but seller did me wrong.

Sender told me I could receive 4 g with t mobile sim card. Phone would not accept Tmobile sim initially until I bought unlock code. Advertisement stated unlocked and rooted but it was not.  T mobile  does not have frequency band required to operate in 4g or LTE. I contacted sender prior to return period expiring and sender told me I could not return. Spent many hours on line trying to make it work. I am not a happy camper.


Fake

Native Union informed me that most of POP Phones sold on Amazon are copies. Dissapointing :( Amazon should be more responsible in assuring that they only sell authentic products. I certainly do not expect to be receiving fake products when placing it through Amazon.

The instructions don't tell you much plus it is hard to figure out whee the strap goes since the picture is a little foggy to see.
