So far so good.

So far this device seems to operate without issue. We currently have our land-line still attached but after some testing and no issues I will be dumping my land line and will be using my cellphone(s) as my home phone. I have my current home phonesVtech 6053 DECT 6.0 Cordless Phones with Digital Answering System and 1 Base/2 Chargers/3 Cordless Handsetsconnected to this device.My goal with this purchase was to convince the wife that we should dump our land-line and go with our cellphones only. Her big complaint was that she did not want to use the cellphone to make the calls because it is not as comfortable as the bigger home phones. This device fixes that problem and more. You can connect it to your existing phone system and make and receive calls throughout the home. Caller id information also gets pushed from your cell phone to your home phones so you can see who is calling.This is a very ingenious device. Hopefully it will continue to work well.


BEST IPHONE CASE EVER!!!

Finally a company has come up with an iphone case that not only holds your iphone, but also easily holds credit cards, a little money, a key and can be carried over my shoulder INSTEAD OF MY BIG PURSE!  It's fantastic!!! Perfect for events where I do not want to take a large purse and want easy access to my iphone plus some money....  PLUS, I opened the case and the leather smells amazing. Can tell great quality. Love the turquoise color but will buy other colors so can mix it up with what I am wearing. I have never written a review before. This product has surpassed my expectations!


Nice heavy cable

Cable is thicker then the stock USB. Its extra long, if your just charging your iPhone with a laptop, probably don't need 15'. However its awesome to be able to leave it on the desk and still have my computer in the bed. I also have a USB AC charger that it would be very useful with.


You get what you pay for

This is a cheap phone, literally.... the T9 feature is hard to use and can be very frustrating.. the pictures are teeny tiny at best... pay a little more and get a better phone...


gluey

the battery life is awesome.. but the rubber sides come off and the glue gets all over your phone and the back of the mophie.the glue melts because the case gets warm when you really use the phone..not good.


LOVE MY BLU (:

happy (: LOVEEEEEEEEE my phone, it has all the features of an Iphone, but what I love is that its NOT an Iphone, I don't like following the crowd, this phone is so cool and most people havent even heard of it, also amazon did a great job, everything went smooth and will buy from amazon again, and love blu products ! thank you (:


surprising performance

Got this last minute for a 4 day trip to the Dry Tortugas, charged our GoPro in 2 hours from dead to full charge in good sunlight. Would recommend an external battery to charge so you can "store" power for weak light/night charging. Charges iPhone but much slower than GoPro. Fit and finish seem good, outer cover appears durable.


Good bye Verizon

OK after 8 yrs with Verizon and suffering through a year of the BB Storm and paying almost $200 a month for 4 phones one having unlimited data, I have gotten myself off of the Verizon-go-round. I had a Sprint wireless data card (which blows Verizon's network out of the water, at least where I am located, plus Verizon was too restrictive in their GB usage) and went in to up-grade and was met by a very friendly and helpful sales person who suggested I look at Sprint for the rest of my wireless services. She presented me with a plan that would save me nearly $60 a month.  I even added my ex-wife to my plan.  I looked at the Moment and was taken by its look and feel.  But after I got a taste for its download speed and slick interface I was sold.  This is what I thought the Storm was going to be.  No lag when loading web pages, a wonderful touch screen QWERTY and the option of a slide out keyboard.  Apps through the Andriod Market that are quick and seamless and free for the most part.  I can actually watch a video on this smartphone and get through with out it taking 5 minuets to buffer, not to mention the gorgeous screen.  So in a few words I love the Moment.  The Motorola "Droid" feels like cheap plastic compared to the Moment, and even Droid on the Verizon network seemed to crawl and sputter to load a page.  This all synced easily with my Google calender and contacts.  One worry here; has Google now completely entered my entire life, they must know every move, word, search, and purchase I make.  Scary!There are a few cons though, battery life is very poor as mentioned elsewhere, I will see if a new battery improves the situation.  It would be great if they would update the Moment to Android 2.0 sooner rather than later.  The little covers for the USB port and the headphone jack are a bit annoying especially if you have to charge it often.  If the keys on the slide out where just a bit bigger it would be nice.  I would also like to delete any unused apps such as Nascar and NFL.  The interface could be a bit easier to customize but this is minor compared to the ugliness of the BB Storm and yes I had updated to 5.0.  I also miss some of the BB ring tones, like the alarm, but I will get over that I am sure.So over all very pleased and I am happy to leave Verizon, they are getting a bit to big for their britches and when approached about what Sprint was offering, my 8 yrs. of loyalty seemed worthless.  The response i got, the price you have is the one in the book there is no way to modify.  I said very well, thank you, and good-bye Verizon.


Defective Headset VXI B250-XT

After reading the feedback from other users, I decided to take a chance on this headset. I wish I had given more weight to the reviews cautioning about purchasing this product. I wish I had NOT made this purchase! After reading the instructions and charging the headset for over 12 hours, I tried to turn it on and was not able to. I waited a couple of days and again charged the unit until it had a full charge. The charge light functions ok, the headset will just not power up.  Apparently the headset was defective from the manufacturer. In the packaging there was a note directing any issues to the manufacturer and that the retail was not to be contacted. I followed their instructions and called VXI. VXI is located back east and I'm in the West, due to the time difference they were closed, I left a message on their customer service voice mail and expected a return call the next business day. I received no return call, I called for a second time and spoke to an individual that issued me a "return exchange" number and requested my credit card number as security deposit if I didn't return the defective headset within 30 days. Here is what is really irritating and why this is my last purchase from VXI. I purchased a headset for my wife because she needed one and in California it is illegal to drive and operate a cell phone without a hands free device. The unit arrived defective and I followed all their instructions and had to call twice to get assistance. One would think that they would want to remedy the situation as quickly and painless as possible. Well, that's not the case, in addition to requesting a credit card that now I will need to make sure they don't charge me, I am responsible for the return charges for the privilege of returning the defective equipment. I have to go to the post office and stand in line and pay for postage, insurance and delivery confirmation (as I don't trust them to not charge me unless I have proof of delivery of the defective headset).  After all that I'm not very confident that the replacement headset will actually work.I'm glad for those whose headset arrived in functioning mode, but beware that they do seem to ship out a percentage of defective units and if you are one of the unlucky ones that receives the defective unit, it is going to cost you time and money to get it replaced even if it arrived defective.Don Petty


This is junk

When I plug the cable into my ipad3 it will start charging but after afew seconds it stops charging. I have had this problem with all three cables. Will eat this cost and go somewhere reputable to buy the cables I need.

Completely satisfied

I have just bought the Gembonics 5600mAh. Rather than review it per se (lots of reviews below) I thought I would give a quick guide to buying external batteries for your iphone etc.My phone, like everyone else's dies by tea time so if I'm out for business or a day trip during the summer with the kids I need a quick recharge.I was recently in Europe and my iphone was almost dead. I committed the gravest of sins. When no-one was looking I stole electricity in the Vatican (of all places). I was waiting in the hotel rooms and there was no guard so I plugged my iphone in. I'm going to hell (but it saved the day).To save all this you need a battery and you should follow this guide:1 There are hundreds of makes batteries but most of them are the same - Gembonics seems just as good as any other.2 Each make does lots of different versions. In short - the more mAh the heavier it is. So if you only need it for the day like me the max you will need is 5000 mAh. If you are mad enough to go to Forest you will need more - like 10000 (but you won't mind the weight presumably because you will leave it in your tent). This is a great example of different products for different lifestyles - decide what you need it for and buy.3 All the batteries tell you how it charges something else but few tell you how to charge IT. Particularly it wasn't clear that you will need to buy an AC charger to charge the battery. I did have a AC plug. That means that on a night before a day trip I can charge my phone or i can use my laptop to charge the Gembonics charger, my wife's phone (as usual) and the battery without needing a PC. The cable you use when charging is a usb on one side (goes into the AC charger) and mini usb on the other side. Gembonics supplies this cable as you can see.4 Enjoy your day out/camping5 i would highly recommend to charge for atleast 4 hours before you start using the gembonics battery and you need to make sure it has all the 4 lights stable.Hope this was useful in whatever you buy.


All looks

Will accept an exchange from seller if this is just an oddity.Item was faulty. Within the last week of its life it kept making the phone say it was not a supported accessory and would stop charging the phone; very frustrating. It would prompt this alert while phone was in use or when charging on the cable randomly. The final hurrah was when it broke tonight. The supplied cable for charging fit so tight it pulled the USB connector right off! The entire female connector that was inside the battery came with the cable.Now I'm no barbarian. I own high tech equipment and I treat them well. But this whole thing was clearly not built for use. At first I was happy with the snug fit of the charging cable but now it's clear it was way too tight a fit since it tore the entire USB connector right out of the device.The battery portion also didn't connect flush with the phone. You could see a clear open gap between the back of the case and the battery. Would this slack end up cracking anything internal? It was definitely an area dirt could have collect, that's for sure.I liked the feel of the colored case and the battery. They had a smooth feel. The blue case looked great.Hopefully I can return this for an exchange or refund. If I can't, I will stay entirely away from this seller and make sure my friends do too.


Amazingly Fast & Beautiful

I have recieved the case already, I only ordered it 3 days ago! I am super happy with the color, its exactly like pictured, HOT PINK! I was not expecting it until thursday so when it came today Monday, it was a very awesome surprise! Will order again from soon!!


loved it!

It was perfect for my phone!!! Very convenient!!!! It was smooth and very easy to work with. Protected my phone perfectly!!!! Love it!!!!!


Still doing some testing

Ok so here it goes....I am using iphone 5c with latest ios 7.03..I don't want to confuse anyone on how this is working but most of these adapters out there will not pass audio on certain devices, so the supplier says no audio support, I have seen even the Apple brand issues also with audio problems. I ignore reviews most of the time so I am buying a few different adapters and trying them out myself...This one came in today and first thing I tried was the usb port on kenwoods and pioneer aftermarket radios....it charged,controlled and played audio....second test used it on isimple is76 30 pin charge av cable....charged but no audio... so I could see where some docking stations wont do audio...but for a couple bucks to try not bad better than 30.00 : )Update on this adapter I forgot to mention I also have an ipod with the 30 pin so I wanted the option to use either my new phone or old ipod  in the car with the (is 76 isimple piece) and just pop on this 30 pin to 8 adapter, it will keep it charged and I can stream audio with bluetooth on my 5c....BUT none of the adapters work when the case is on it ( my case just has holes in the bottom not all cut out)


FAKE PRODUCT - also wont charge

Just got this a few weeks ago and now it wont charge.  You have to jiggle it around and then it shows charging and in the middle of the night stops charging so the phone does not have enough battery the next day.  I called Mophie who confirmed it was fake and not a real Mophie product.  Got out the box and looked at it where it states it is a black Mophie pack and on the back it has a sticker which is white and says it is a white Mophie.  Someone has put this in what looks like Mophie packaging and its not got the same product description.I would advise not buying from this seller for any reason and I have requested to return it.


Flawed

Scratched the top of my phone on the metal band. I have had my iphone for about 4 months. I dont have a case and the only scratches that I have on my phone are from this product.


absolutely the case to get for Aria

I was a little reluctant to put a case on my Aria. But after seeing my friend's Driod X glass cracked after dropping, I want to protect my Aria. It is very plesant and soft to touch and light weight. It fits perfectly and add extra grip while holding the phone.I would recommand anyone to have one for their Aria.


Great product!

I was looking for a iPhone mount that was solid and would not vibrate so it could be used for data aq for running my car on the track and autocross.  This mount is quite solid when mounted with lots of adjustment in every direction.  My C5 Z06 has a very steep windshield and it has plenty of adjustment mounted in the center.  Also mounts well in the corner near the A pillar in my truck.Overall, very pleased, especially for the price!David


Good product. I kindly recommend.

Bluetooth Range: I noticed that here has been some  complaints about range in other reviews of this product, but I have found the Bluetooth range with my HTC phone to be surprisingly good. A couple of times I got up and walked around the lab before I noticed that I had left my phone at my desk. I would say I had gotten 20 to 30 feet away from my phone with potential RF blockers in between with no audio drop outs. Range, of course, may vary from phone to phone and remote usage isn't the intended use of this device. But, it's good to know I've got a good signalBattery: I probably put about 6 hours of use on them on a single charge over a couple of days. I would consider that pretty good for a product of this size that can't just use any size battery.Comfort: Took a little bit of tweaking. These may look like over ear headphones from the image but, if you look closely, there are in-ear buds on the inside of the disks. And, there are two methods of wear possible. It ships with the standard foam bud covers. But, it also ships with two different pairs (different sizes) of ear shaped rubber bud cover thingies. Those are what I use. Firstly, they will need to be positioned right or they'll sit in your ear all goofy. And they, at least for me, they may need to be trimmed up a bit. The cover on the right side was irritating my ear, so I trimmed off about an eighth of an inch, and now they fit very comfortably.Audio: The first couple of days of use, I used them at work and I found my usage to be interruption free. Once I did get a change to go for a run, though, I did get some audio drop outs. At first I thought it might have been interference with my sports tracker application. But, once I got away from nearby houses on out on the trail around the lake, no more interference. So I double checked that my phone was not in Bluetooth Discovery mode. It wasn't. But, I did have Wi Fi network notification turned on. Turning it off seemed to help. (see EDIT for new revelations on this)So, yeah. Good product. I kindly recommend.EDIT:Ok, do occasionally get a few audio drop outs. But, I've found a very repeatable event that seems to cause them. I wear my phone on my right arm when I run. When I turn my head to the right (to check for traffic, or whatever reason) to the point that it crosses a vertical line straight up from my phone, there is an audio cut out. Interesting. Don't know if it has to do with the Bluetooth radiation pattern of the phone, or the receiving antenna on the headset, but I suppose there's gotta be a null spot somewhere. I might look for other places to mount my phone. Or not. Just knowing when and why it's going to happen makes it tolerable. Still recommend the product.


Great

Just received this today.  It looks great and the phone fits in it perfect.  My son states it works great and even though he has only had it a few hours, he likes it.  He is on his phone non stop, so that is a good thing.  Might even order me a pink one!!!


Lightning Fast

This charger works very well with my Iphone 5.  It charges very quickly and the LED lets you know it is working.  But, be advised, the lighter connection is a very tight fit in both Lexus and Honda. It may be a little difficult to remove it, but it definitely stays in place.  The lightning connector end is a perfect fit.


Wife is delighted with it!

I am on a long-term assignment away from home, so for Christmas I sent my wife the latest Blackberry that just came out, the Blackberry Bold 9700 (Unlocked).  Being out of the country, I haven't seen it, or used it, but I can offer a "thumbs-up" from her point of view.  Every time I talk to her she brags about it and keeps telling me "You have to get one, you have to get one!"


So you broke your HTC one Screen....

The same happened here, I want to give you my condolences - You are about to embark on a maddening task.This screen you must realize is ONLY the digitizer and not including the LCD itself.*When removing your HTC one x screen, there is a high probability that you will crack the LCD.  Consider buying the Digitizer + LCD or disassemble your phone 1st, then see what you need to buy... GOOD LUCK!


Worth every penny

I'm always skeptical of low priced phone cases, but at the same I hate paying $30 or more for "fashion/fun" cases.  I took the chance and tried this one because of the affordable price & design.  It snaps on easily & doesn't cover up the front screen protector or make the edges peel.  So far the gems are staying in & there are no scratches.  The inside has a thin felt layer that protects the phone from the case.  Not sure how well this case will hold up over time but even if it only lasts 6-12 months, it's definitely worth the price.  I didn't use the screen protector that came with this since I already had the invisashield on my iphone 4.


Easy installation once you see the video on YouTube.

Good quality film.  Was easy to install after I saw the video they have on YouTube. I recommend to watch it before trying to install by your self.  Film is very clear and once installing the screen protector you do not notice you have it on.Recommend.


Works but not as well as lower priced units

I really wanted to like this unit, but was really disappointing.  The sound quality is just OK.  If the phone reception is at all garbled this unit will make it worse.  At times I have to ask the caller to hold while I turn the blue tooth off in order to understand them.  The volume control is adjusted by moving your finger up or down on the surface of the unit.  This is somewhat problematic because trying to adjust the fit of the unit can change the volume.  The batter life is severely lacking, only two hours of talk time.  The charging unit is cute, but it's hard to get the ear piece in and out and is really not very handy.  To get reasonable talk time, you have to carry the charger with you (you don't have to plug it in the wall) and plug the ear piece into it in between long calls.  Just one more thing to carry in your pocket and loose. The real kicker for me is that it provides a very loose fit on my ear and tends to move out of my ear when I tip my head.  For a long time I've used a Plantronics unit that cost about 1/3 as much as this one and it has better sound, a battery that lasts for days and more straight forward controls.  I'm going back to my Plantronics unit.  Don't waste your money on this one.


Looks nice works horribly

I bought this because it looked more aesthetically pleasing than the "thought out" brand stands.I regret the purchase.Not only was the black anodized aluminum flaked away at the edges but the stand cant even fit my iphone harness when in the vertical position (!).Its other nuisance is that the base is to small and it becomes very top heavy when the phone is inserted.Additionally, if you are listening to headphones the base offers no staying power and will tip over or scoot around if you move your head.I'd give zero stars if it was an option!


LOVE THIS PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT

THIS PHONE IS AWESOME !!!SUPER FAST,  I HAVE TRIED RUNNING 8 APPS AT ONCE TO TRY TO MAKE IT LAG AND NOTHING, AS IF NO APPS WERE OPEN, NO LAG AT ALL, TRUE MULTITASKING!!!!!!I TRY TO SHOW OFF MY PHONE TO EVERYONE I CAN , AND YES THEY ARE AMAZED AND PUT A SMILE ON THEIR FACE. THE UI IS GREAT AND THERE IS SO MUCH TO LOVE ABOUT THE PHONE. CAMERA IS NORMAL, TIMESHIFT IS AWESOME, HUB IS NICE. AND THE BATTERY IS PRETTY GOOD, AND I AM A HEAVY USER.PEOPLE GIVE BLACKBERRY A CHANCE, TRY IT OUT AND SEE FOR YOURSELF, DON'T LISTEN TO ALL THOSE AWFUL """" REVIEWS"""" FROM AUTHORS THAT HAVENT EVEN USED THE PHONE AND TO MY GUESS I THINK ARE GETTING PAID TO BASH THE PHONE. I RECOMMEND IT 100% U WONT REGRET!


Cheaper at WalMart

This is an excellent phone. Got it for my boyfriend and he loves that he can stream Pandora and Netflix.However, this phone is over $100 cheaper at walmart.com. In fact, WalMart, who sells Straight Talk, usually sells the phone for $199. Get it there.


FREE 4G

Wonderful product!!!! It is totally worth the price!!!! There is excellent signal in Dallas Texas. The photon itself is a very small device, about half the size of my iPhone 5. Without the $4 boost service, the download speeds are about 3 mb/s. Not great, but about the same speed as 3G. it has a very nice matte finish on both sides and even a printed key on the bottom for the 4G signal/ Battery life.


Muffled microphone is user error - sort of....

As an electrical contractor, I purchased the LifeProof Nuud case to protect my iPhone 5c from falls, hitting it against stuff, drywall and saw dust, rain and snow, or anything else my job can throw at it.  I also want to protect my phone while island camping out of a kayak, so I was thrilled to find this case.  I just received and finished installing it(after doing the water test as instructed) when my wife called me.  I asked her how I sounded without telling her that I had installed the case.  She said that I sounded like I was talking from inside a bucket and was having a hard time understanding what I was saying.  As it turns out, there was a drop of water in the slot for the microphone causing the muffled sound.  I used a tissue to clean out the water and tested the call again, and my voice seems to come through just fine now.  LifeProof should add this step to their instructions.Update - I have used the case for a week now with no comments or complaints about the sound.


Very Pretty

This case is very pretty and elegant.  The only problem that I had was that some of the bottom gems on the right hand corner was missing when I took it out of the packaging it came in.  I like how it was put in a small zip bag, bubble-wrapped and sent in a bubble-wrapped envelope, too.  It also came with a tiny zip bag of extra gems to replace the gems that fall off. Besides the missing gems, I'd rate this case a 4 out of 5 stars.  Did I mention the price for the case? Great deal, compared to the other 3D bling crystal phone cases!


Worth Every Penny!

My new phone case came today and I couldn't be happier! When I placed the order, the product was on back order with expected delivery of early February but out of nowhere it came two weeks early. Awesome!The case itself came in the original packaging and is quite sturdy. The black edges of the case are hard plastic with a rubber coating so the phone feels secure in your hand and the black "lace" pattern on the back is also rubberized which not only gives it a cool texture but also appears to have a higher quality that will resist fading and chipping like many other phone cases do.The case is fun, funky and lightweight. I love it and will probably be buying more colors in the future. :)


Average Headset With Some Issues

Positive- good battery life- easy to setup- good volume level of earpiece (not mic)- multiple options for wearing- good rangeNegative- complaints from people that I talk that the volume is too low and they have a hard time hearing me- over the hear wearable-option works poorly > doesn't stay on well


everything I want, and a power cord to boot!

I love this charger.As others have said, the max power is 6.2a, so if I plug in two devices that draw 2.1a each and two 1a devices, it will charge a bit more slowly, but the convenience of having everything in one spot outweighs this. I don't often have four devices charging at once, and it works perfectly


Wonderful, slim case for iPhone 5!

Ahhh, the new iPhone 5 - thinner, lighter, sleek feeling - now take that compact, beautiful technological wonder and hide it a case to protect it from damage! Most cases, while usually doing a good job and protecting the phone, come at the expense of concealing the very things that make the phone so nice to enjoy physically. Not so with this Tech Armor frosted clear TPU flex case for the iPhone 5. Sure the frosted aspect takes away a bit of the cool slate anodized aluminum color of the bare phone (black model), but not nearly as glaringly as the scratches it would otherwise be covered with after going into a pocket with keys several times.This case provides a snug fit on the phone with a slight bumper lip giving a bit of protection for the screen side if set face down on a table. Even with the raised lip around the front of the phone, this case remains sleek and light. It fits in my pocket comfortably without me hardly noticing it. In fact, several times now I've had to reach down and make sure my phone was still there.The case isn't exactly slippery, but also doesn't have much tack to it, so if you're the type that wants to put your phone on the dashboard and head over Mulholland - don't expect it to stay put!Overall, a great slim case for the iPhone 5 at a good price.


just what i needed

I bought these after I had left my charger in a hotel room.  Actually received the package a day early so thank you for that.  Cables feel pretty strong and durable and each of the adapters are dual ports which is very convenient.  Really happy with this purchase because everything works as described and is such a great deal also.  Thanks..

Nice

The only advice is that the screen scratches easy.  I understand the value of having a screen protector, so I have accepted that it will show a little wear.


Rugged (?) but Non-functioning!

Looked nice. Arrived with owners manual (in obscure foreign language), and included a European power cord which did have an adaptor for use in U.S.A. Also had earbuds. No SD card. No auto power cord. Has a good feel, nice key layout. Took phone to service providor for SIM Card. Had SIM Card, Micro SD Card and battery installed. FAIL! Phone has power but will not boot up (initiate). Only flashes "B2100  [...]  SAMSUNG" and never goes past that stage. Powered off and charged battery. Removed and reinstalled battery . FAIL!! Same results. Manager of service provider store initially told me he really liked the phone. After not working, he said he had changed his mind. So have I. I did manage to find an owners manual for the phone online. Manual is in English but is for use in the Philippines. Seemed complete however the toubleshooting section did not address the problem I have with the phone. Returned for refund!


very nice!

These screen protectors work perfectly, unnaffected touch sensitivity, crystal clear, and no t sticky!, so can be changed anytime, and doesn't come off either!Highly reccomended


Good quality, but too bulky.

I got one of these after some serious research and it did prove worth all the effort, except for the fact that the pictures shown never really gave me a fair idea of its size. Although it may not affect everyone, I certainly couldn't live with its size. It sort of sticks out from the ear and is not sleek from any angle. Had the boom been a tad slicker, I'd have give it 5 stars.Bottom line: if you dont care about how it looks, its a great piece with very good sound quality. Although, I returned mine.


Only good for the basics

It's good for the basics (talking, and texting) but it turns off by itself 2-3 times a day, and that is very annoying especially when you're in the middle of an email or a long text.


UI sucks, not Unicode Font support, not really a "WORLD PHONE"

I totally agree with other reviews about all good things of N8, such as fast boot, great camera, good signal,...I will not repeat here.I have two main problems with N8:1. UI not friendlyYes it's fancy, but all those simply functions should be kept as simple as possible. for example, I want to save a number from incoming call list, when I touch that number, it dials the number automatically. I know I can figure it out after searching/reading something (BTW, no paper manual with the package, you either use "user guide" on the phone, or googl search; using "user guide" is painfull too), but why should I spend time on making these basic features work? Hi man, is it a SMART phone to test how smart you are??2. the biggest problem for me: no multiple language supportI bought it at AMAZON, US version. If you speak English only, please forgive me, it's not a problem for you. you can ignore here now. But if you plan to use N8 to read SMS or browse webpage or input something in other languages, such as Hebrew, Chinese, Korean, Thai, Japanese, Spanish, French... Read this"Nokia has decided that each phone sold to each region (Europe, China, North America, Middle East Africa, India, Thailand) would have separate language packs. If you live in North America, you probably get Latin Fonts without support for CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean), Arabic, Hindi, Hebrew.... etc. and the Keyboard is limited to English, French, Spanish, maybe Italian..."After searching google several hours, I found a not perfect way to hack N8 and change language package. But again, why should I do this with a risk to break the warranty?? I am an end user, not a developer. When my iphone/Android phones are able to browse web pages, read text messages in these languages..., where is Nokia?? Maybe Nokia doesn't need to compete with iphone/Android phone."Connecting the World"?? Come on, I can't!!! In the end, I return the phone.


Dissapointed

I would never imagined that a $600 N97 would have a touchscreen keyboard like the old phones, with 3 letters per button. You need to touch up to 3 times a button to get certain letters. I returned it inmediatly.Cheers


Know before you buy!

Phones ordered Oct 21, received today Nov 16Phone does NOT come with Memory Stick micro.If you want to port your old number from another carrier to Cingular it will cost you $250.When I get the phone charged and working I'll review the phone.


Perfect Replacement

Someone had given me the black pen pictured here, which they had spend a lot of money on. It worked well but I lost it at work. I purchased this set just to replace the lone pen for a fraction of the price and it's exactly the same pen that was bought for twice what I bought this whole set for and I also get two more free. It's a ball point point but it write smooth and could be refilled. The Stylus also lets me use it like a pen so I can take paper notes and then spin it to interact with my Kindle Fire and go right back to taking notes again. I even have an app that lets me write on my Kindle as if I'm writing on paper and while it's not as accurate as a pen and paper (the tip is too soft and feels like writing with a paint bush sometimes) I can't beat the price.


A good budget solution

I finally had to get my own phone and plan after having a work provided phone for years.  I was very interested in trying a T Mobile monthly plan, since it was attractively priced and wanted a true "smartphone" without the financial commitment of buying an unlocked I Phone 5 or Samsung Galaxy S III (both of which looked like pretty great products).  This phone was an obvious answer after looking at options, using a pretty advanced Android system and having a nice range of features for a novice user.I have not been disappointed.  The phone has been easy to use and budget friendly.  It is NOT truly unlocked, as I could not just slip in a foreign carriers SIM card on a recent trip to Asia. The phone also provides wifi tethering (for a fee) which is useful when I commute and bring along my laptop or I Pad.  The negative comments about the camera and internal speaker are justified, but I still believe a phone camera is an emergency solution and not an alternate for a real camera.  If you are interested in trying out a budget T Mobile plan this phone is a good choice.


Great Rotating Stand for iPad 2

I purchased several (4)  iPad 2 covers/stands for my husband and this was the winner. My criteria for the covers:1. Not too expensive (I did not want to spend over $40),2. Good protection for the iPad (both front and back),3. Masculine looking,4. "Smart close", where the magnetic closure would turn the iPad on and off (wake/sleep ability),5. Stand that would be functional whether the iPad was in landscape or portrait mode.I must admit that a couple of the other covers I purchased did not always fit all the criteria (there was a light green one...not very masculline, LOL), but this one fit the bill perfectly. It hit ALL my listed criteria. My husband uses his iPad VERY frequently.The cutouts do not obstruct any of the buttons, plugs or controls. It is VERY "manly" looking too! There is a slight pebbled texture to the leather and the color representation is about right. The cover has a black elastic strap that you can use to close the cover, but my husband rarely uses it because the cover stays closed with the weight of the iPad. The slots for holding the iPad extend the entire length of the cover. His previous iPad cover had indentations on each end and would often slip out of place. These slots/ridges keep the iPad in place whether it is in a vertical or horizontal position.You see the Apple emblem through the back reinforced cutout. This feature looks really cool and reinforces the clean lines and general overall look of this product.The only negative I've noticed is that the slots for holding the iPad in place, sometimes leaves a slight smudge on the iPad screen. This is easily wiped off as you would with fingerprints. I inherited my husband's iPad 1 and have searched in vain for a rotating case like this for the first generation iPad. Alas, this great product is only available for the iPad 2.Definitely give this iPad 2 cover a 4.5 stars.


False ad- 'Unlimited' data; Zero customer service

DO NOT be suckered in by the advertised "unlimited data" $60 plan. If you exceed 2GB of usage, they throttle your data speed to a trickle and then cut you off completely. And when you call customer no-service to complain, they give you a Simple Mobile Corporate # in Irvine, CA to call, which is a voicemail that will never call you back.  You are effectively stuck with the lower $40 plan even though you've paid $60 for the remainder of the month. After that, you are forever limited to the $40 plan and not allowed back on the $60 "unlimited data".I had left several voicemail messages to the corporate meatheads to no avail.  A total scam!


It gets stronger after a couple of charges

The battery gets stronger after it is charged the first three or four times. After just five days I am now getting 3.5 days per charge, then the internal battery kicks in for another  two days. Great product!


Great Product!

I bought this for around $10 shipped and I have to say it was definitely worth the price.  My iphone is secure in the fitted pocket so it doesn't rattle around when I run.  The armband length is pretty long so it can be adjusted for various different sizes.  Yes, I do wish that the screen was a little bit more accessible but it really doesn't bother me that much.  I listen to my songs on a playlist so I don't touch the iphone at all.  But, when you get a phone call, it's near impossible to answer.  Sliding the bar to unlock the iphone is ridiculously hard and even if you can do that the mic is totally muffled because there's no holes for it.  Again, I don't talk on the phone while runnning but in that rare instance when you really want to take a call to say, "I'll call you right back," then you're out of luck, son.


Non compatible with the most up-to-date phones?

I can't give this item an honest review, but I'm writing this here for other people like myself who aren't "cell phone accessory savvy". For me, "P790" is complete jibberish, and I had no way of knowing this would not fit my newest version of the Droid RAZR. Not to mention, reading customer reviews (and not checking the date...) isn't exactly the smartest thing to do either. Upon reading other people saying it worked for THEIR RAZR's and having no idea that there was a RAZR before the newest one released in 2011; I thought what I was buying would work for my Motorola RAZR. -- IT DOESN'T! -- This product seriously needs a list of compatible phones, or at least something that normal people who don't know what things like "P790" mean... So that they don't waste their money like I did. Otherwise, despite my not being able to test the product... I'm sure it works as intended. I received it quite late, due to ordering over the holidays- but it's far from flimsy and looks quite durable without being too large or horridly bulky. Might be a little annoying to keep held to your phone if you're planning on making calls, but hey. We can't have perfection on all products, right?


Rip off---- Over charge shipping

I order one from eforcity. The adaptor is very fragile and beware of the shipping charge. it is there main source of profit. Not a very honest seller.


Waste of money

Make sure to try out your Droid 2 before applying this screen protector so you know how the touchscreen is supposed to work. It's very thick and makes typing very imprecise. I also had to cut off portions of the screen protector to be able to use the navigation bar at all. The top drop-down menu also would not work without cutting off portions of the screen protector. Complete failure of design.


Great potential, but it falls way short

Received the Rugby in 2 days. I knew it didn't support voice dial, figured I could get used to that. But what really suprised me, and is a constant annoyance is the outer display. It turns completely off within 5 seconds of closing the phone. There is nothing in setup to configure it differently. What is the point of even having an outer display, especially a 65,000 color display, if it is never on for more than 5 seconds? Furthermore, the display does not respond to any buttons on the outside of the phone. You have to actually open, then close the flap to check the time, or to see if you have missed a call.( a two handed operation). It does not even light when connected to the charger. It appears dead unless it is handled constantly.This complaint may seem insignificant, but I am a carpenter/ woodworker, I use loud machinery, so I miss a lot of calls, and I do not wear a watch. I keep my phone on the bench near where I am working, and often glance at the phone to check for missed calls, or the time. Sometimes I have glue on my hands- even paint- I can't be picking up and manipulating the phone every few minutes. This phone is being marketed as a workingman's device, but it falls way short.It is a fairly large size, a bit large for jeans pocket, but one could get used to it. The speakerphone is excellent. Loud. Very Loud. I would be extremely satisfied with this phone if not for the front display issue.


Not worth the money

I ordered 2 of these Zagg audio smartbuds for my iPhone 3GSThe audio quality is terrible. and the volume control only control the ear buds volume not the iphone itself.It is not worth what ever they advertised. I will not pay anything over $10.


Excellent phone, but difficult to operate

I receive my phone on 2/28/11 and I LOVE IT!!!!! I only paid $35 for it way below the market price of $150. It is a very difficult phone to operate, I would recommend this phone for people who are smartphone advance users, and for people who have to take their work home. I have not fiqured out how to do half the things the phone is capable of doing, but it is a very attractive sleek phone. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Cute but the flash doesnt work

1.) its a pain to get on and scratches your phone 2.) when you try to take a picture the flash reflects off the narrow hole made for it and winds up blinding your photo so you cant see the picture, just looks like fog, 3.) getting the case back off is even harder than trying to get it on


bought mine from google

to start, the price here on amazon is outrageous. i bought mine from google. and i felt that at least one person should review the product and not the seller. the bumper case in my opinion is beautiful. looks great and feels really nice. the chrome looking buttons and sides of the case look nice and make the phone look as if there wasnt even a case on the phone. my only nit pick would be that a lot of dust collects on the edge where the case and screen starts, mainly due to the rounded edges of the screen. but if u can get your hands on this case from google for $20, than its an excellent buy.


charger sucks

the charger does not work with my razor phone. plugs in okay, but I can never get it to start charging my phone.


This purchase has been awful

I can say I was truely deceived. The phone was described as Factory Unlocked but I was shocked to discover that the phone is locked even as I write this review. I wrote to Amazon and they gave me back $25 for each of the phone for me to unlock it in my local. The issue  is that I have not been able to do that.


Technically Challenged

The A950 is lacking many features that should be in a modern day phone.  It is not fully bluetooth compatible, there is not a direct interface with a PC which forces you to use monthly billed products known as VCast.  You cannot directly download MPG files without purchasing a USB interface and a memory card. I have run numerous Bluetooth headsets.  The sound quality of the headsets is poor.  It does not have any of the 1.2 bluetooth features available. Like mute and call waiting.  It feels like verizon went to Samsung and said design me the cheapest phone possible with supposed features.  (all limited).  Do not make the mistake I did if you want a technically savvy phone the A950 is not it.  The retail price dropped from 299.00 down to 80.00 on this phone.


Voices in my head

The only bad thing about the HS820 is that people think I'm nuts and talking to myself unless they happen to see the headset. On the plus side, I can just put the thing on and have all the conversations I want with the other voices in my head and people stop thinking I'm nuts as soon as they see the headset.Seriously this device works quite well with my phone (Motorola V330) and if you really need to drive and talk at the same time it's a hell of a lot safer than juggling a phone. It really isn't much different than having a conversation with someone else in the car.


Good product. Easy to use.

I have this kit professionally installed and worked like a charmed at the beginning. It confuses the names of your contacts if you use short voice tags, I fixed this using name and last name for my voice tags (contacts) so instead of using just "john" I started using "john smith" and it started working just fine. The sound is clear, the system is easy to use and definetely beats talking with the phone in your ear. Sometimes people in the other side of the line start complaining about the quality of the sound but normally works just fine. I have it installed in a F-250 Diesel so probably part of the problem is my truck is just too noisy.


JUST BAD

I FOUND THAT IT WILL NOT CONNECT EASY AND DROPS WILL NOT RECONNECT UNLESS I TURN PHONE OFF. I HAD A HS820 MY PUPPY EAT IT. WOW WHAT A MISTAKE WITH THIS ONE, MOTOROLA VERY VERY SAD ALWAYS SUPPORT THERE STUFF.


Very Good Phone!

I had a refurbished Nokia x71 which was a good phone but it was refurbished and the charging got out of whack. So someone gave this phone to me brand new and I have had an iphone, S3, evo 4 & 3D and i didnt find this phone bad at all. I have big hands and i was worried about it being way to small with the 3.2" screen but it works and the stock keyboard is great, i can fly on it! its a $60 phone and you cant expect much at that price but i think it lives up to that price and more.PROS+-Great Keyborad-Front Facing Camera-Runs on Verizon Network-Good Resolution-Call Quality-Speaker/Speakerphone-Battery-Design (has a really good grippy feel to the phone, with a nice shiny gunmetal accent around the device)-Charger port on the bottom.-No Battery Removal to place the sim, it has a side slot.-Notification LightCons--Camera-Screen & Phone Size-On-board Memory-ProcessorI still gave the phone 5 stars because this isnt a $300 2 year contract device, its a $60 device and it works well.


You get what you pay for...

For about $30, this product does what is advertised. I know there are better battery charges out there, but they are 2 or 3x the cost. However, this product does allow me to go through a full day without having to plug into a charger. I am a HEAVY phone user, with an unlimited plan that exceeds 10GB per month. So, under that type of abuse, the fact that the phone can still be used after 6pm is admirable. My only complaint about this case is that it doesn't charge the phone and case to a full charge simultaneously. If one or the other reaches 100%, the product (phone or case) that hasn't reached full charge--no longer receives a charge. I have to charge them separately to make sure both are at 100%  But then again, I only paid $30. I mostly use the case when I know I won't be around a charger for most of the day.


very disappointed!

It started out great. Install is a snap but soon after that the disappointment set in. There is no "anti-fingerprint coating" on this glass. Fingerprints are bad.Lastly, the worst part, it's scratched! I've had several smartphones over the years and have never scratched a screen or screen protector. This is my second glass screen protector, the first being the Spigen Glas.t. The Glas.t protector is on my old 4s which is now my daughters phone. She's 15 and not easy on her phone. It still looks spotless! How the iloome got scratched is beyond me but I fear it came this way as I noticed it less than 15 minutes after installation :(....  Not too completely bash this product I will say that the touch sensitivity was not diminished nor was the screen clarity. The cutouts on the protector are spot on as well...


Glass cracks very easily.  Too easily in fact.  Be warned

Had the phone for about two months when for the very first time, I dropped it while sitting down.  It fell all of 16 inches and shattered the glass.  Making things worse, it's very difficult to replace the glass on the S3 so I'm looking at some serious cash for this.  I dropped my HTC Droid Incredible on a number of a occasions from much greater heights over the 2+ years that I had it and never had a problem.  So much for gorilla glass.I think the basic problem is that the glass is compressed in the frame and that it sticks out from it.  There's just no room for error.Google it before purchasing this phone.


Cute basic phone-a little flimsy

Pros: good reception, phone comes loaded with 300 minutes. Nice looking design with a bright, full color screen and buttons that light up blue. Comes with 20 MIDI ringtones, 2 games, and nice choice of wallpapers. Text messages cost 5 cents each. Easy to add minutes right from the phone or online.Cons: has a sort of "plastic toy" feel to it. Very light, very small. Takes some practice to avoid pressing multiple buttons at once. Callers sound slightly muffled. Cannot download new ringtones or wallpaper. Not recommended for heavy phone users or newbies.This is a cheap, no frills phone. It is not a multimedia device. It doesn't take pictures, surf the internet, send emails, or play MP3s. It makes and receives calls and texts and stores phone numbers. To be honest it's a cute little cheap piece of plastic for people who want a cell phone for emergencies or to make occasional calls. Heavy callers, texters, or people that tend to be hard on their stuff should think twice before buying this phone.On the other hand if you are someone that tends to keep your phone nice and shiny, you are a reasonably competent technology user, and you only want to make the occasional call this is an attractive, reliable little phone for a good price.


Headphone jack opening not big enough - Dealbreaker

I'll start out with saying that I am a huge fan of SGP products, I only use their screen protectors on my iProducts.  Never had any issues and their screen protectors don't peel and last a long time.I had the Neo Hybrid for the iPhone 4 and I loved it, so when I saw this come out for the iPhone 5, I was excited to get my hands on it.  With my iPhone 4 case, I used the standard apple headphones so I never experienced this issue and not sure if it would have posed the same issue for me.  On this case, the opening for the headphone jack is just not big enough to accommodate my Bose MIE2i headphone jack, it simply cannot be pushed in all the way.  It is really unfortunate because I really want to like this case.The case provides nice bumper protection while still showing off the aesthetics of the iphone 5.  It comes with front and back screen protectors (3 pieces for the back).  The screen protectors were very simple to apply, no issues there.  The phone keeps its slim and light appeal, and the finish on it is high quality.Unfortunately I will probably return it as functionally, it will not work for me.  I have tested it with the jack from the new Apple EarPods and it works fine with that jack - a perfect snug fit, however not with the Bose.


Didn't like it...

I bought this case to go on my Sprint Galaxy s3.  It's a nice case and seems to be made well, but when it is on the phone its very hard to get to anything that is right at the edges of it.  I literally put the case on, then tried to use it, then took it right back off.  Some may not see this as an issue, but I wasn't able to use it.  It was like I was trying to fight the case every time I wanted to press anything close to the edges.  It looked really nice on the phone and I was happy with the level of protection it offered and the kickstand worked great.  It was very hard to get off of the phone though... caused me to scratch my brand new phone while I was trying to pry the thing off.  I can only recommend this if you don't mind having a high lip around the edges of your phone.


Should have read the specs.

I have a Samsung Epic 4G.  My phone is too wide for this adapter.  I have pulled off the clamp and am using rubber bands to hold the phone on the adapter on my tripod.  Not an ideal fix, but it works.  Wish I had read the specs on width.  My Epic is about the same width as the iphone, so this adapter won't work on that phone either - at least not without rubber bands.


Purple Deluxe Xshiled Hybrid for Galaxy s4

Just got the case today, love it so far.  The rubber corners are pretty thick which make it feel protected.  The purple (and mine definitely is purple)hard case is shiny, but not slippery, I've had rubberized cases that were slipperier. It's much nicer than the Incipio that I'll be returning to the Verizon store.  I would definitely recommend this case!


Not A Good Purchase

The buttons provide zero feedback, which is essential on a case. The clear back is also hazy and doesn't look attractive. Recommend finding another cases.


ear buds with mic

Worked fine for a month but then I lost the left channel.  It no longer is effective as a result.  I wouldn't recommend this product.


Great choice for my phone

So much better than mophie, I've had this for months and love it- it's great in a pinch, I don't have to bring a million chargers when I travel, and it is durable (have dropped my phone a few times).The most important thing I like about this case is… there are color options! : )I am very tired of those classic black and white colors, this is a great case for me because I enjoy the colors.


The best solution

After reading the reviews of the other 3rd party PSU's for the XB1,  I decided to take a chance on this adapter. The thing works like a charm. I cant notice any unbearable amount of noise that seems to be the problem with other alternatives. All in all a great buy.


Cable works fine, Nexus 7 has limits

I haven't tried powering anything with this cable yet, so I can't comment on that. But I have learned a couple of things about using it with a Nexus 7 (2013). I originally tried a Logitech K400 keyboard. This keyboard worked perfectly, down to the volume controls and power button, on another Android tablet running OS 4.1.1, but my new Nexus wouldn't recognize it at all. I tried several other USB keyboards and mice, and they all work perfectly. For some reason, Google left the K400 driver out of the new Nexus 7. I don't know if their support for other USB devices is equally inconsistent, but if you can't get something to work, it may be a missing device driver rather than a cable problem.This cable will let you read a flash drive. However, Google didn't include this ability natively. There is a free "Nexus Photo Viewer" app, but it will only allow you to see photos, not even copy them to the Nexus. There is a "Nexus Media Importer" app that will let you view, copy and delete media type files only. It will not even SHOW anything but photo, music and video file formats! It does NOT mount the flash drive as a regular file system! So you can't, for example, use the flash drive to back up any data.Both of these problems can be solved by rooting the Nexus and/or installing a custom kernel. This voids your warranty, and may be too technical for the average Android user to attempt. But these limitations are in the Nexus 7, not the cable! The cable itself makes a nice solid connection and appears to work perfectly.


Perfect Product and VERY FRIENDLY Provider

This is my second order of Stylus from The Friendly Swede.  I have used them for a while and they just keep working without problems.  I have carried one with me all the time and use it constantly on my Samsung Galaxy.  I have a couple of others placed in my home & office.I ordered more this time because I gave all but three of the original ones to friends.  I would Strongly recommend these to others just be sure you select the ones from "The Friendly Swede!


Perfect device for home or travel

Great device for charging all your electronics. I have the white with blue/green stripe on top and sides. Looks sleek and modern.I've charged my samsung gaxaly phone, xoom tablet, ravpower power bank, external speaker, and bluetooth headset..... works perfect for all. The plug-in folds so it's easy to carry in your bag or backpack. Has 2 output usb ports: 1- 2.1A apple and 1-1A android. Turns itself off when charging complete so no over charge. Nice soft blue led light at charging ports.Note: I also have the ravpower 2 port usb car charger also and it performs great also.Note: the only thing I would change is that when the device is pluged into a outlet it takes up both outlets because it plugs in vertically. Would be better if it plugged in horozonally  However for my use this is not a issue because I have an external 4 outlet pluged into my outlet where I use this charger.


Rubbish

I purchased this product & used on an offshore rig to transfer the outside signal 2G & 3G to my room inside accommodation. The result was totally disappointing as the signal is most of the time is false or no signal. I really regret to purchase such crap. Don't use this item it's fake.


Smooth like butter

I have had this baby for 14days now and I am loving it. I had the nexus s and like it alot but this improves upon that. Lets talk about the Pros and Cons. Yes they are cons but you can judge how much they matter.**Cons:1.The back plate/panel that lets you access the battery is cheap. Dirt cheap. I hate it! Its too flimsy...but at least its flexible enough not to break. The nexus s back plate was stronger even though it too is plastic.2.The engine that guesses the words your trying to type and displays the options doesn't seem to "learn" as fast as the version on Ginger bread. Go figure. By this time my nexus s was a literal robot churning out those words seemingly before i could think em. This fellow is taking its time. Its improving but the difference is noticeable. I mean i type along quite nicely but i got accustom to just clicking a few letters and selecting the majically presented words before me.3.I have seen one instance when the OS seem to stutter as if it forgot what it was doing then..remembered and moved on. As i said.. thats more the OS than the device but never the less is part of this baby so it gets chewed . It wasn't anything intensive just a simple scoll when it happened. Will have to see if that reoccurs. The nexus s did it too but it was never often enough to be annoying.**Pros:1. Heavenly display. Good grief. I was a little annoyed that the phone was larger than i expected even though i had all the measurements... when i saw it i'm thinking this is a big b*tch. But when that baby came on and showed its assets... Hell i'm thinking the bigger the better. Its awesome. crisps colors, sharp images, heck even the boring photos taken with the old sony P1i looks good.Videos... well need i say more. of course its awesome watching them on this thing. This thing might actually get you laid. Reading from this thing is like the experience you get with an ipad.[yes i referenced the ipad here cause i'm not a snotty one sided technology whore. -->The ipad has great reading desirability(hmm.. weird sentence). Now i imagine the kindle has stepped up with the kindle fire but i haven't used it yet...so couldn't say]2.Beautifully crafted OS. The layout is nice and friendly with even a few developer options available for the mischievous folks who don't know what the heck their doing but want to do it anyway. Even a cool function that lets you pile icons on top of each other and automatically creates a group/transparent folder that you can name. So all my geeky stuff is lumped together  and i have a social network one bla blah.3.Fast camera. I mean fast..none of that long adjusting crap the blackberry torch does...geeze. Great front camera for video IM.4.Performance wise...generally all round its a winner. The apps launch seemless and browsing it just a pleasure.Trust me you won't be disapointed. 9 blackberry users have converted since touching my phone. 9. Think about the power this baby must hold. I just need to find some iphone users now....


Broke in shipment

Sorry I didn't get a chance to use this item. It is pretty, but the quality is not well put together.  I would not recommend this item.


Still not a Nokia

I have specific requirements and this phone fails for me.  I'm not interested in the camera or how pretty it is.  When I specified what I needed I asked for a triband phone with voice activated dialing that didn't weigh half a ton.Well it's light and it operates in most parts of the world but the voice operation has a complete mind of its own.  The phone keeps operating under the voice password in the car whenever it hears any sounds with similar cadences but the actual dialing instruction commands are usually not recognised.  The worst of both worlds!  Trying to make a call in hands free mode in the car could kill you if you persevered after the phone has refused to put the call through.Many of the functions connected with the "In Car" profile just switch themselves on and off without reference to you and while the keyboard lock does unlock in the handsfree modes it fails to re-lock itself when the phone is placed back in a bag or pocket.  So the first person in my "Phonebook" gets frequent back pocket calls!If Nokia did a decent voice activated phone, I'd be back with them like a shot.  The Sony/Ericson partnership may yet bring forth a great phone but this isn't it and I'm unlikely to risk buying from them again.


Great price, nice tip, clip not so good

These are exceptionally good value for money, and work very well with an iPad Air. The tips are a great size and glide very smoothly. The stylus barrel feels substantial and is very nicely weighted. My disappointment is that on two of the styli, the clip is loose and constantly rattles and taps against the barrel. It doesn't seem possible to loosen the cap and reshape the clip or tighten it to stop the rattle. Otherwise a very good purchase.


WHY IS AMAZON ALLOWING FRAUD!

Why is Amazon allowing those who are deceiving buyers, by selling them Locked phones, when they are advertised as being Unlocked? I got kicked off of Ebay for doing too good for a new seller, selling phones, without a single complaint, where as ebay though I was cheating the customers, and not sending them anything. So they started holding payments until I shipped the phones first, then get paid later, but I just kept cancelling the orders every time they held payments, and eventually they closed my account. Now this guy has almost as many complaints as he have good reviews, yet, it seems Amazon is simply being hush, hush about it, as long as they're getting their percentage.


I don't like it

Well the antiglare function should be ok unless the fact that the screen becomes bleary...I wouldn't recommended it at all


Terrible

Could not get it to pair with Blackberry Bold and it would not stay on cars visor, slid off on every turn.  Not a good purchase.


Pure "awesomeness" for a tech savvy person, 5-stars Samsung!

I was an early adopter of the Gear 1 and surprisingly I fell in love with the product rather quickly.  Mind you I was never a watch person - so I was skeptical whether or not I would like it.  There's a few reasons I learned to enjoy the first version and upgraded to the Gear 2.1) If my phone is in my pocket, bag, or another room, I can see who was calling or texting and answer, delay, or reply from my watch.2) My favorite thing to do is to change the watch face color and design for the holiday, season or event.  I can even change the watch face to match my shirt color for the day.  Waiting for the full watch styler for the Gear 2...3) Phone Locator.  Yes, sometimes I misplace my phone.  The gear had a phone finder feature which surprisingly came in handy on an occasion or two.4) Style.  In my opinion it looks sharp.  I am a business professional and I think it looks great with a suit.5) Safety.  Going back to number 1.  While driving, I don't have to fumble around for a phone. I can see who is calling and answer in a split second - eyes on the road.  To me, that was worth the $300 price of admission by itself.6) Watch of course!  I will not wear a regular watch that simply tells time; that is not enough.  However when my watch answers calls, makes calls, reads texts, changes face themes to match my shirt color, takes my heart rate, acts as a mini personal trainer, snaps pictures, records quick voice notes, has a television remote, includes a stand-alone Bluetooth music player, and has easily switchable bands, now we're talking about something I'll wear every day (and it just so happens to tell me the time and date).Price note: This version of the watch is $300, if you must have the brushed aluminum and the camera.  For me, I didn't mind spending the extra dough.  For someone who feels (and reviews) $300 is a bit steep - there is the Neo version!  Kudo's to Samsung for creating a less expensive version for those not comfortable at this price point.Bottom line: I enjoyed the Gear 1 and with the additional new improvements, I'm very pleased to own a Gear 2.  I find it very useful on a day to day basis!


Nice phone

Phone is everything that is reported to be. Very happy with it. My only complaint and it's more of annoyance is the double tap on and off. Unless you tap the exact spot it doesn't turn on.


Nice case, but doesn't accommodate headphone jack

It's a nice case, it feels nice in the hand, looks good, and isn't too bulky. But the cutout for the headphone jack doesn't allow a headphone jack to be plugged in (at least, not one with a 90-degree angle in it). The buttons (volume and power) are a bit loose, but I don't care about that and they don't seem to be functioning any worse for it.


better than nothing

its actually for the 521 . fits the 520 but doesnt fit snug . it can slide around alittle . plastic piece is really slippery may slip out of hand . get this if you have a 521 . if u have a 520 do not get this case


Great solar panel

I love this solar panel for it's portability and ease of use. Plus you can daisy chain many of them together to create more power.


Pretty good.

I am using this phone for a month. It is a good phone but has negative things like everything.Positive points:- Perfectly fit to your hand so it is very easy to use and reach every corner of the screen.- Pretty thin and light- Has dual core 1 ghz processor so it is fast- Very easy to use keyboard- For its price range this the best phone- Camera is pretty good- Still working under the waterNegative points:- Has 512 mb ram and it is not enough- Back cover doesn't feel good- Has still gingerbread. it is going to be ice cream sandwich but don't know when.At the end, it is a perfect phone for its price but if you have money you can buy a phone which has 1 gb ram cuz 512 mb ram is not enough.


Almost Perfect

Overall this is a very good product.  I was very impressed with it, especially considering how affordable it is.  This transmitter looks more expensive than its price would suggest.  The digital controls makes tuning very easy.  If it wasn't for a noticeable distortion when listening to certain female vocals I would have given it 5 stars.  But overall I am still very pleased with this transmitter.  Below are my pros and cons.Positive:1.  Well made and looks good2.  Charges 4th generation iPOD Nano - a big plus3.  Digital tuning allow easy selection of FM channelNegative:1.  The signal is weak.  It's easy for stray signals to interfere with this transmitter2.  Transmitted volume is softer than radio stations even with iPOD volume near maximum3.  Noticeable distortion when listening to female vocals


Watch the video first

The only reason so far that I cannot give 5 stars is the screen protector.  The case fits and works well withe controls, but the are written instructions for the placement of the screen saver.  DO NOT BOTHER WITH THE LITTLE BOOKLET.  Go to the website and watch the 2 videos, trust me it will be a lot easier.  I feel better about the safety of my phone already.  Also the box says lanyard loop, it does not come with lanyard, but you could put one on if you wanted.  Have fun with your phone.01/18/2014. Just one more comment about this case.  It does great in and out of pockets, and I mean coat, pants, shirts, but I have found that it reduces the vibrate feature to the point I have to have the ringer on also.  If I am working and have the phone in my pants pocket, I cannot feel the vibrate at all.  I still think it's a great case and am not changing my rating at all.


Don't believe the reviews

The company includes a card with the cable asking the buyer to put up a review and they will send you another cable for free.  They do state good or bad, they want the review.  I'm sure most write a good review to ensure they get the free cable.  I bought three of these a week and a half ago.  2 aren't working.  Also, they fit real tight.  I'm worried they may mess up my phone.  I don't doubt the company has good customer service, but after having two of three go bad and the fit being so tight, I really don't want a replacement.  I'll just chalk it up as wasted money and buy the Apple cables for a couple bucks more.  We buy premium phones, may as well get cables that work too.Another note:  When they do work, they did work with iOS 7 and iPhone 5S, usually.  Occasionally, I would get the "not supported" pop up.Take a risk if you want. I'm out.  But you can get a free one if you choose.


too plasticky for $700

When I put a review a while back, people started abusing me. Well Now I have used the fone and I am having the same question. Not at all sure why Samsung's best mobile that costs $700, does not feature quality materials. Craftsmanship matters !


Monk would love these, I do too.

These are great antibacterial wipes, use them at home or out, they are perfect wallet or purse size, and you will stay much healthier, I like that with asthma!


Great product!

MOTA is a great and innovative company that is on the cutting edge of the newest technology but doesn't overshadow their human skill-set when it comes to the end user.  With this in mind, both the company and products are decent.


Big Trouble in Ordering this from Amazon

Like the other reviewer, I am very unhappy with the process of ordering this through Amazon.When I would track my order, it kept saying estimated delivery for tomorrow.  And I received an email that it was ordered when it when there was a problem and it was not. Only because I had read the other review, I called to make sure it was OK. Turns out there was a problem with the order, and Amazon had not only not notified me, it still said the estimated delivery date that was now impossible!! So now I am stuck with no email access on my business trip, which is a big problem.. I am really shocked, I was always happy with Amazon when I ordered books.I wish I had just paid more and gone directly through Verizon or Wirefly.


causes humming when on the phone

I purchased this case and noticed a humming during phone calls.  Called Lifeproof and, after 20 minutes on hold, arranged for a replacement case.  The replacement case came and it still causes humming. Another call, another 20 or so minutes on hold and I was told they would send out a third case but would not refund my money.  Be warned.


love it

Came fast and i love it.Looks much better than on picture. Worth the money. Looks great, clean, neat. You wont regret


terrible phone. Sortof.

Had it for about a year and a half.as for the layout of the phone and the programs on the touchscreen, i love it. the touchscreen works fine. good quality music player. has a headphone jack which is a must have for me.the one thing that throws me off...after about two months the phone started glitching. it would turn off when i opened it. or turn off when i'm in the process of choosing a recipient for a text. and at the moment...im stuck with it, as im under contract...and...well, its decided that i'll be fine with the right half of the screen...twice...that's correct, the right half of the screen is completely duplicated two, three, four, a billion times all over the screen. remember winning a game of Solitaire on your windows computer and seeing the cards fly aroudn and leave a million cards behind? or the XP glitch that would leave a million of the same windows all over the place when you moved a window? essentially the same thing. i cannot see pictures, i cannot read texts, i have to guess where things are because i cannot see the screen.DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE, and with AT&T;, DO NOT WASTE YOUR FREE PHONE ON THIS. it works fine for a few months and then starts to glitch up. this. phone. sucks.


Awesome

This is an awesome product. I was nervous at first because I didn't know if the flap would be flimsy and open by itself but they have an ingenious locking mechanism for it that make sure this doesn't happen.


Pantech Renue Shield Protection screen

Product arrived within a day or two. The screen fits the Renue perfectly. Goes on easy, stays on and protects my phone screen. Product works as advertised. I would recommend to anyone wanting to protect their phone screen.


Best Cover for the Surface Pro, Hands Down

I love this product. It doesn't cover the edges of the screen like the others, this let's the surface pro breath and gives you easy access to ports, buttons and the screen. There just isn't a better case/cover for the surface pro!


Fantastic

It's fantastic and under 4 dollars. I wouldn't go so far to say its invisible, but extremely close to it. I can see the edges, but only because I put it on.  As for the reviews saying it is hard to put on, it was extremely easy for me to put on because I read their reviews first. The instructions on the package leave out a few important steps. You only get one film, so put it on right the first time.  Step one: clean your screen well, and finish by wiping with the microfiber cloth which is included.  Step 2: peel back the film just enough at each end to remove the punch outs for the speaker and the button.  step 3: then install as on the directions, by peeling back half the film, line it up with the speaker, and then adhere the film to the screen. step 4: I had a few small air bubbles. Dont peel it back up.  I just applied pressure with my finger nail through the microfiber cloth and was able to force them all out in seconds. I'm very happy with this and elago's glossy black back case. From a few feet away, you cannot tell I have anything on my black iphone.


Doesn't fit to most standard cars' vents

Didnt fit in my vent of hyundai sonata 2007. So don't buy it. It didnt fit till it hit inside vent so it's not holding well. It keeps falling off. I regret buying it.Sorry don't even know how to return it or get a replacement


If I could rate 0 I would!!

The phone says its unlocked but when I received it. It clearly was not. Will be returning it. I am so disappointed .


Pretty for a while

This cover fit perfectly and looked sharp--for a few days.  It seemed like the perfect way to protect my phone and make it stand out.  But after a few days  minor scratches broke through the color and into the base metal, making it look like it had been abused for years. My partners silver color cover cost more, but had the same problem with scratches. The difference is with silver scratching into silver it isn't as glaring a color change.


Back to the drawing board Motorola!

This elite sliver has the potential for being a great bluetooth. I'll just list some of the bad things.1: If you have sensitive skin the battery charging contacts which are on the side that makes contact against your head will cause your skin to break out. The only remedy I could come up with was putting three strips of electrical tape on top of each other & taking a razor knife and cutting a thin strip just enough to cover the contacts. Motorola could have used a different material that is hypoallergenic.2: I have two phones connected to the elite. My work phone and my personal phone. (The latest Motorola Droid Razr) I have the Motospeak app on the Droid. I keep losing the ability to stream music from the Droid to the Elite. The only way I have found to restore streaming music back to the Droid is to do a factory reset all over again, and that is only good until you cut off the Elite for recharging. Then you have to do the factory reset all over again to get music streaming back again. Another way to keep the music streaming with no problems when you cut off & on the elite is to only pair with one phone.3: The owner manual doesn't explain the 6 menu options you have when setting up from a factory reset.4: Overall the sound quality is very good, but when you get the Elite to stream music there is always that little skip every few seconds. Is it the phone?5: The Motorola website is not the greatest place to find support.6: At 129.99 you would expect this bluetooth to be the Mercedes of bluetooths (IT IS NOT)7: There are a few menu items you can not select on the Motospeak app with the Elite. Maybe in the future it will be better.With these minor problems Motorola can redesign the elite to be the best on the market.Thanks for reading my review


Asix chipset for use on Linux

FYI, the Apple adapter uses an Asix chipset, so as long as that driver works on your Linux system, it'll work fine.  I bought it thinking it didn't use an Asix chipset because the Asix driver is broken on my Linux box, so I had to return it :-P


I am NOT happy at ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This case is a piece of CRAP!!! And that is being nice...If I could give this a negative rating I would.  I was so happy to receive this in the mail and loved the color.  Once on my phone and talked on the phone for a few minutes, I realized my hands were PINK!! Then when I looked into the mirror, the whole side of my face and ear was PINK!! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!


FANTASTIC PRODUCT!!!  VERY HAPPY!!!

I wrote a short review when the screen protectors first arrived. They arrived earlier than expected (always a nice surprise) and the seller emailed me to make sure I knew there would be 4, rather than 3, screen protectors in the package AND the seller sent detailed, recommended instructions for successful placement on my Samsung Galaxy S3. Well, today, I finally took out the package, the instructions...and followed the instructions EXACTLY...dust free environment, wiping down the phone with a damp cloth, then the microfiber dust cloth...then carefully placing the screen protector and I am SOOOO happy! It looks great! NO bubbles. It's clear and smooth...I wish I had bought this first (I had tried the ones ATT sold me and also some others I ordered online...but they were frosty, not clear and they got bubbles no matter what I did). This product was PERFECT! Highly recommend and if I ever need more...this is where I will buy them!  Thank you!!!!!


mp 3

The seller doesn't provide information about operating system. It works only with windows 98/2000/xp. It's 2013 today, so I wasn't able to find any of this systems in several computers around me. That's why I had to through it away and buy a new one.


The BEST Android phone currently available for Cricket!

In my opinion, the Huawei Ascend 2 is currently the best Android phone available for Cricket.  This phone is slim, lightweight, packs a 5MP camera/camcorder, has a fast processor, notification LED (not all phones have this handy feature), and has an excellent bluetooth transmitter, meaning that if you use it with bluetooth headsets, the range is incredible!  Minuses for this phone are that it lacks a flash/video light (but most pictures come out clearly).  I really can't think of any other minuses.  On the plus side, it runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread, the latest (and greatest) version of Android currently available for smartphones.  It's the right combination of inexpensive, lots of features, and works with Cricket ($55/month unlimited everything).  Recommended!


Greatest phone i had

Well, i've used quite many phones - some i've owned like Nokia N8 or Apple phone. Some i've used 'caused i sell gadgets Samsung's galaxies HTC Mozart - and i've gotta try them out. This phone brought me more joy than all other phones before. i think that iphone was really a masterpiece when it came out, but now i see it as boring. The Windows 7 phone OS is much more intuitive than iOS - but WebOS brings much more fun! There couple of things that disturb me - is the rotation speed - it's quite slow - i don't have that issue with my Touchpad - and sometimes i have a problem answering the phone - it's not as bad as on ipohne but still exists. The battery live is par with other smarts - the built quality is great - i love the swype gestures for back and forward and for closing the apps - i tend to do the same gesture on other phones - it's so intuitive - does not work the for some reason :) Great value for the money!!! it's a masterpiece!


best case yet. color is awsome.

I love the color,the grip of the Case is wonderful it contours nicely when your holding it.iv dropped my phone a few times and my screen hasn't cracked and no damage was done to the case.i would highly recommend!!


Bought this product

I bought this because my phone face was scratched really badly.  Thought I would give it a try.  To my amazement, this product is an answer to people who want to replace their clear lens.  Very easy to install.  I pried the old cover off from the top (where the silver part is).  It didn't pop off all together and broke.  But, the pieces came off easily.  The new cover has an adhesive backing and you have to remove the covering over this (like a band-aid)  Then just stick it on.  Simple.  Amazon has very good price for it and other products for that matter.  Used the expedite shipping and received it in two days just before Labor Day holiday.


A tracfone customer since 1998

I really like the zte valet, being a long time tracfone customer I feel like I am going from a VW to a BMW but I know I am not.TracFone is not for everyone...The zte valet is at the low end of android phone barrel. This is a true smartphone unlike my LG 800, but it was a good call phone.I have a ton of apps on the valet  and I have customized it just how I want. The Super-Bright LED Flashlight Surpax Technology Inc is a handy app.To get a reminder of a missed message or missed call I downloaded ( Alert me Pro Missed Call Text ) from the google app store.This is a great app for professional style ringtones > ( Business Ringtones ) by RCP Ringtones.  Check them out...The TRACFONE APP from google play store is a good one to check your balance and service date and to add min and data time.The power bar widget(COMES WITH PHONE) is the one I use the most, I use it to turn the data off so I don't lose it all.  You can turn the wi-fi on from there,and turn sync on, GPS, bluetooth and the screen brightness. I will take a picture of the power bar and put on customer images on this phones main page.( Remember to turn off data when you're not using it. )I have norton anti-malware (free) app and it works great, It always checks every new app I install and if it updates a app it checks that also.I have had the phone for 3 month now and have not had any problems, I read all the review sites and blogs and that has helped. I just seen in the Q&A; on the phones home page on this site what the mirow was for and they told you about a good flashlight  app on google,it works great...If you need a 9 or 10 rated phone you  probably will not be happy with this low end phone, but for a pre-paid phone I like mine.I do notice  that I do not have as many signal bars as I did on my other tracfones but I can use this phone where the others would not work and have not dropped any calls..So what I am trying to say here is that I can call and talk just about anywhere I go  west va - ohio - ky. ( On this phone mabey 1 to 3 bars and my others phones I would have 3 and 4 bars...)Voice is good. camera indoors is really bad and outside is just O K.Hint, have your kids buy you time cards, google play cards and data cards for fathers, mothers, birthdays and xmas... ha ha.I bought my first T. F. in 1998, I seen it in a jeep mag and took it out west Leadville, CO  and it worked,I was shocked.TheSuperior Shell Case and Holster Combo ZTE Director N850L USC - Black - Bulk Packagingis a very nice case,it is sleak,slim,nice gripie texured feel to it, Cleans up the look and feel of valet . See my review on it.* ZTE Director and ZTE Fury phone accessories fit perfectly...* A good screen protector>>SUPERSHIELDZ- High Definition (HD) Clear Screen Protector Shield For ZTE Valet (TracFone , Straightalk , Net 10 Wireless) + Lifetime Replacements Warranty [6 Pack] - Retail PackagingWhat's great about it: Android 4.1 Operating System, 1.0Ghz processor.What's not so great: Camera indoor pictures.Tip > Read the ( Questions & Answers ) pages, there are a lot of questions answered there..... Enjoy your new phone.Update1/12/14 LG Optimus Dynamic ( II ) - LG39C - Android is the newest tracfone that just came out,check it out.


Great phone!!

Im really glad I got this phone! I had a LG Prime, but then the screen cracked. I did have a little bit of trouble with my sim card. I have an AT&T gophone sim card, and had to take it to the AT&T store to get the sim card unlocked. Other than that, this phone works great! Its super fast, easy to set up, and I really like the keyboard. It is taking a minute to get used to the menu and everything, but I really like this phone!


SO LOVING THIS PHONE

IT IS A VERY GOOD PHONE COMPARED TO THE OTHER PHONES I HAD IT DOES EVERYTHING I LIKE AND CAN'T BE MORE HAPPY WITH ALL IT DOES.


Fantastic

I purchased my first set in an airport as I had forgotten mine at home. They are super effective at sound isolation, which is great for travel ; i like the fact that the wire is not plastic or rubber but woven - makes it more sturdy. Fits very well in the ear, remote control is great and I recently discovered it had a mike and I could use it with my phone... I've had it for 6 months now and it is still not disappointing. What's not to like at Amazon price (compared to airport price of 50$ !)? Purchased a second set for my husband and he loves it too. Great purchase.


not that cool

I have owned the phone for almost two months now, and I came from using a blackberry, soo.. from comparison. this phone is pretty wack.


FINALLY..A bluetooth headset that really works!!

I always used a wired headset for many years with my cellphones, as I could never find one that really worked. They were either too fragile, battery didn't last long, can't hear the other end or the person on the end can't hear me or all of the above. I bought no less than five, then ended up returning them because I was not satisfied.However, this year, headset technology apparently has seen so much improvements. I bought a Blue-Ant this year and thought it worked great. Then come along the Plantronics PRO! When I talked using this headset, the person on the end had no idea I used a headset. And I can hear them fine, just like using a landline. I am sure that is the experience you will find with this wonderfull headset. And that is the most important thing.The headset is feather-light and fully adjustable. The ear-piece and mike swivel all directions, so it is easy to fit to the contour of your face. I like the boom mike, I can make sure that fit properly near my mouth when I talk. It is not as compact as most other headset, but very comfortable to wear. It also does nothave annoying flashing blue light so you won't get dirty look from people around you. Pairing it to the phone is super simple, took about 2 minutes. Effective range is good, I can talk fine with my cellphone in a different room more than 30 feet away.One thing I found, that if I don't use the headset for half a day, it seems to go offline and I have to reconnect it (not re-pair) on my cell phone. But it is simple enough, I just touch the Plantronics headset icon on my Samsung Eternity. The manual said the battery lasts 5 days on stand-by, but I guess it is depended on how much you use it. I used it about once or twice a day, and it is still going after a week.Highly recommend.


It's a great phone for the price range.

I bought this exact model (but with a green back cover) in China in October 2011. I needed something cheap, and I needed it fast. I didn't want to spend too much money, because I wouldn't be there for more than a few months. My only reason for purchasing it was to call people, send texts, use Google Translate, and use Baidu maps to get around. Fortunately, I was also able to tether right out of the box as well -- and connect my laptop when I was in rural China.If you're a frequent traveler, global roaming is a giant money scam. I suggest buying yourself an unlocked phone, and just switching in SIM cards in the country of your choice... if they support them. Many places will let you pay month-to-month. For example, in China, I'll pay about $10.50 per month for a pretty decent package. Compared to the global roaming packages, this is a steal.You need to ask yourself: what do you want, and how much are you willing to pay for it? If you want an awesome smartphone, go buy something else. But if you need a smartphone which allows you to do the basic things such as texting, calling, tethering, and web surfing, then this is actually pretty good... if you can deal with the small resolution.The Camera is actually pretty decent as well. It was much better than I anticipated.Make sure you get a MicroSD card (up to 16GB) if one doesn't come with this. Use that to install applications on, rather than the paltry 160MB of built-in storage.Cons:- Terrible screen resolution (240x320)- Low built-in storage space- Low amount of ram- Terrible battery, but I kept it plugged in most of the time.- Performance isn't perfect.Pros:- It actually works very well, and it's extremely stable.- Upgrades to Gingerbread easily. Google the instructions. This requires root.- After upgrading to Gingerbread, you can install Cyanogen Mod, etc...- Most of the time, it runs pretty good.- The camera is actually pretty decent.You may also need to download and install the Google apps package if it doesn't come with the phone (mine didn't). Again, Google this for more information.Remember, you get what you pay for. For this price range, the phone is actually pretty good. However -- as of this post -- there may be much better phones for the same price, or a few dollars more. It might be worth it to skip this phone entirely and find something else. If you can afford it, try to go for something with a bigger screen, and better everything else. Otherwise, this phone is solid, but probably isn't for people with bad eyesight.I'll be using this phone often on my international travels, at least until I break down and buy the Note. It satisfies all of my basic requirements, and then some. It's not perfect, but it gets the job done.


Junk

When you say "used, like new", that doesn't mean it should have chips and a faulty back button. It will register as if I was pushing it. Exiting me out of apps or going to the previous page quite alot. This gets very, very annoying. If someone is going to pay $100+ for a phone, it should be fully functional. The phone others receive may be better or worse, but in my situation I received a poor condition phone. A refund would be great. But since it's the only phone I have and I need a phone on me for work, I see that won't happen.


Choose your seller carefully... This is a Great PHONE

DROID XI have purchased 4 of these, 1 was returned (it worked just fine, but it was not new).**Certain sellers sell this phone brand new in factory sealed condition** --beware of the sellers that don't. (just click on the "used and New from $$$$" link under "more buying choices" to choose a seller).___CALL QUALITY___AVoices over the phone are clear.The microphone filters background noise well.The speaker phone works well (sometimes with a noticeable increase in background noise on the other end).The proximity sensor turns the screen on and off when you put the phone to your ear.Using the speaker phone, the screen will stay on until the display times-out.  If you use the power-button to end phone calls option, you will be unable to turn the screen back on during a speaker phone conversation without ending your call (as long as you don't enable the "power-button ends phone calls" option this is not a problem).___Screen___A-The display is bright, clear, large, not easily scratched, and easy on the eyes from almost any angle.  The ambient light sensor correctly adjusts the screen brightness from 20-100% to save battery power (if you want the display to dim lower than 20% you will need to use manual mode... the built-in Android power control widget makes this simple).___Battery___AThe battery lasts all day long.The battery is removable (!!!)There is a built-in lever which pops out the battery (no more broken fingernails trying to pry a battery out of the case).Nothing extends the life of a phone like a replaceable battery.___Camera___B+ (better than the iPhone 5 and Galaxy S3)Autofocus works well, you can even use the touch screen to change focus modes.The dual-action shutter (1/2 press to focus, full press to shoot) works just like a real camera!The dual-led flash is a poor replacement for a xenon flash (but way better than no flash at all) but since it also serves as a dual-led flashlight (which is quite bright) I am not complaining too loudly.The cameras photos and HD videos are acceptable, and quite good most of the time.The camera's auto setting works well in most situations, but you will need to use the other settings for action shots, macro focus, etc......When compared to point and shoot digital cameras from 10 years ago this really shines, and from that sense it preserves and captures memorable moments very well!...Although it pales in comparison to our modern (and expensive) dedicated camera we usually use our Droid X phones (this was not the case for some other phones we have had).___Android 2.3.4 "Gingerbread" OS___A-The Android flavour this phone uses is great.  There is very minimal bloat.Motorola includes "profile" support so you can switch screen layouts between home and work and other.Google is very well integrated right out of the box.  We have a family google account we use on all of our devices so that when one family member adds a contact or calendar event, all of our phones are likewise updated (and we don't have to pay for the same app multiple times... buy it once and install it on every device).There are some really useful features that are missing from Gingerbread (like a running application menu) so a supported OS upgrade from Motorola would have been nice.___Connectivity___AMicroSD - the phones came with an additional 2GB MicroSD card, which worked fine, but were replaced with larger capacity versions (16 & 32GB).  If you plan on using your phone as a dedicated camera/mp3/video recorder/player the option to expand your memory is simply crucial.WIFI - is another must have.  It does not seem to overly drain the battery, but provides much greater data speeds than 3G without using up your data plan.  There are plenty of built-in optionsGPS - The dedicated GPS works independant of the cellular tracking system, and is much more robust.  It integrates with google maps very well, eliminating the need for constant map updates.  It is not however, a replacement device for my Garmin (which has much more features)MicroHDMI - this enables a Doc Interface which is actually quite useful.___Durability___(a/b?)No durability concerns.The metal encased display is particularly solid.The texture and size and weight of this phone make it less likely to be dropped than others I have had.  The phone is very solid, so I do not recommend a solid plastic case, but the softer TPU Gel cases work well to cushion the phone when dropped.________OVERALL________AA++This is the best phone for your money right now if you want to use the Verizon Network.  Motorola has gotten a lot of things right with this phone... Stellar Product!  Wish it had


love it

I got this phone case for my daughter and she loves it. It has not fallen apart yet. I was a little worried it might fall apart but it has held up.
