Better than iPhone,

I have had Samsung phones, where the screens are nice, but the plastic bodies come apart all of the time and feel flimsy. I have had iPhones, where the user interface is just so boring, even with all those apps that cost you money.The Nokia has wonderful Nokia apps already installed, such as Nokia Drive, which gives you directions while you are driving with a talking attendant, it is super accurate and fun to use.  You get Nokia Music, which is a free music service with 1500 playlists put together by expert music people, very good and it's free!  You get ESPN, Nokia City Lens, which is where you hold your camera up while you are walking a city street and it will give you information about the area and what you are pointing at, it is really cool.  And there are other free Nokia apps as well, like Camera Extras, that let you do things like take action shots and panorama photos. There's a Six Flags app, PGA Tour, Contacts Transfer, The Caddie +, Univision, Groupon, Soundtracker that connects you to Internet Radio for free, let's you get concert tickets, look at lyrics, share comments with your friends on their music, et.  There's Counters, that keeps track of calls and data usuage, Creative Studio, which is a photo editing app, and so much more!As a Windows Phone, you will have 7GB of Free Cloud Storage (which is the most for any Cloud Storage offered) for all your files and music and apps on Sky Drive, with the option to upgrade at a cost.The camera takes great pictures with the Carl Zeiss lense and there are ways to adjust you settings. The phone takes great 720p videos, which is a whole lot better than 1080p in a lesser camera.The Windows 7.5 user interface is super easy to use, and it is very pretty to look at.  There are a ton of apps in the MarketPlace, and the most popular ones are there, many of them are free.The beutiful cyan body on this phone is a matte finish, so it doesn't show fingerprints, it is made of polycarbonate, which is the same hard plastic that eye glass frames are made.  If you were to get a deep scratch the color goes all the way through, so it won't show.  Even the USB Charger has a modern style, with it's round geometric shape outlet plug.  All in all this is one hot phone.


Good protection, and good looks but ...

The white case turned blue-ish from my jeans on the first day and it only got worse from there. None of these are new jeans, all are more than a year old, so they've been washed several times. I recommend sticking to the black version.And this case keeps my Qi-enabled wireless charger from working effectively. It still seems to charge, but it is slow and the Superleggera case gets really hot.That said, it provides excellent protection. So when I travel, I switch to this case since I want a little more protection and my inductive charger stays at home.


Ballistic is Best

Fits the Moto X just fine. I was originally worried about the curved back. It doesn't have a kick stand, but i use a fly grip.These case may be a bit bigger, but for maximum protection from accidental drops you can't go wrong. This is my second Ballistic case. The corners are heavy rubber. I dropped my last phone in its Ballistic case and of course it landed right on the corner. The Ballistic case absorbed the impact and zero damage occurred. If you're not worried about the case being a bit bulky, you don't have insurance or you're drop prone this is the case for you.


Not 100% satisfied

The batteries arrived in a reasonable amount of time (coming from Hong Kong China).  I got my Samsung Galaxy S3 a couple days ago and tested the batteries.  Only 2 of the 3 batteries worked. One is defective and phone will not come on with it, I placed it in charger but it states that it is fully charged.


Great for Kindle Fire + longer cord

I wanted extra AC adapters for my Fire but really dislike the short cord of the standard charger. However, the Fire wants power and few after-market products supply the 1.8A the Fire requires. I tried a computer USB port, cell phones charger, and Kindle 2 AC adapter... none even make a dent. No charge at all. So I took a chance on this product -- works great. Charged from 70% to 94% in 30 minutes. It has the power needed. Nice product as well. Well constructed and a bonus that the blades fold for travel.Even better... costs less and this one has a six-foot cord. Recommended for Kindle Fire owners. I just ordered 2 more, in fact, since it works for my cell phone as well (also uses a micro-usb port).


This phone does not connect at 3G, ever.  Firmware Software Problems, too.

There is another user who posted a review on here that says the phone is not 3G.  The specs for the phone, both documented and on the box, show that this phone should connect at 3G in the USA.  I live in Manhattan and have toured this phone all over the island and it has never connected at 3G, only Edge.  Then I went to AT&T;'s site to find out what the 3G coverage was for Manhattan & it was 100%... so I don't know what's up with that.There is also a problem with the firmware, having had 2 of these phones - the phone will reboot randomly.  If you use a wired headset with the phone, be aware that you must buy a particular headset, the "HS-40" by nokia.


Fits DROID DNA w/ case on and room to spare!

Easily fit my DROID DNA in it with the case still on. Fits well around my arm and feels secure. Jogged and biked with it a few times now and it hasn't gotten loose or needed adjustment.


The Titan is a Winner!

After a few days of calling every ATT store in the Boston area I finally found a Titan in stock last night and picked it up. I was too impatient to wait and take advantage of the awesome penny deal on Amazon plus I was exchanging my Focus S for the Titan so I took to plunge. (The Focus S is an awesome phone too and I wrote a review last week on Amazon about it. I just wanted to try out the latest and greatest so I traded it in for the Titan)The Titan's screen is HUGE but the phone still fits nicely in to one had. HTC has designed this phone beautifully and almost the entire front of the device is filled by the screen. The bezel on the left and right side is almost nonexistent. This phone is gorgeous. The screen has a resolution of 480x800 which by today's standard is a bit low but you will be hard pressed to even realize this during everyday use. The Windows Phone OS looks fantastic on this screen and text is very easy to read. Videos and pics look outstanding and the super LCD really nails the correct colors accurately. You will love this screen.Under the hood the Titan is powered by a 1.5 GHz single core processor. I am not sure why other OS's require dual core processors because Windows Phone OS runs buttery smooth on this phone. No matter what I throw at this phone nothing slows it down. Microsoft has really done a wonderful job keeping this OS lightning fast.You get 16 GB of storage which for me is plenty. I have a ton of apps, games, music and videos on my phone and still have 9 GB free. Unfortunately there is no memory card slot so the 16 GB is all this phone will ever have. You do get access to 25 GB of free storage on Microsoft's SkyDrive which is integrated well in to the OS so you can always store your pics and docs in the cloud if you run low on storage.ATT markets this as a 4G phone but it isn't true 4G LTE but just the HSPA+ network which is still plenty fast. In Boston my average download speed is right around 4Mbps a second. Not too shabby at all. The call quality so far seems top notch but quite honestly I have only made a few. The signal strength in Boston isn't that great to begin with so at times I am running with only 2 bars of strength. It doesn't seem to impact calls or the internet so as long as things run well I do not care how many bars I have. It is something I will pay close attention to in the coming days and will update my review if things take a turn for the worse. So far things are fantastic though.The sound on this phone is great. It can get VERY loud when using headphones so be careful how far you crank up the volume. The external speaker is quite good for a phone but can get a little distorted when you max out the volume. The phone does not come with ear buds so you will need your own set. This really isn't an issue as most of the earbuds that come with phones are junk but I did find it odd that none were included.I don't want to talk about the OS too much as this is a phone review but for those who have not used Windows Phone yet you will be amazed at how awesome it is. This is the future of mobile now. Once you use this OS going back to iOS or Android is very hard and you will wonder to yourself how you ever got along without Windows Phone and it's brilliant Live Tiles and super smooth operation.While the app store is not nearly as large as Apples or Googles I have found that almost every app I used on my iPhone 4 has a counterpart on Windows Phone. You will also find the Windows Phone versions of your favorite apps look, feel and operate better than the ones on iOS. Wait to you open apps like USA Today or IMDB. They are truly magnificent. If you are a gamer and own an XBOX 360 then you really should be on Windows Phone as XBOX Live is integrated right in the OS and compatible XBOX Live games on Windows Phone include achievements so even on the go you can get those glorious little achievement notifications that some people have become addicted to!That is it for now. I have to get back to playing with my new phone! If you have any questions please feel free to leave comments on my review and I will try to answer them as soon as possible.UPDATE 11/24/2011 - I have had the Titan now for a couple of days and my opinion that this is a fantastic phone is just getting stronger. The battery life is outstanding. I took it off the charger yesterday and used it quite heavily the entire day and when I went to sleep at 11:30 PM I still have about 9 percent left. This phone will easily get you through an entire day.I have also now played with the camera and can say that the 8 megapixel camera takes great photos. Outside in daylight is where this camera really shines. I took some panoramic shot with the built in software and they came out quite awesome. The colors were very accurate. The video recorder works very well too and I got some great outdoor footage in glorious 720p. Taking pics inside the house at night with the flash on hurts the quality a bit but I still think the inside pics look a lot better than the ones I take on my iPhone 4. I think you will be quite happy with the camera's performance.UPDATE 11/25/2011 - Office is absolutely awesome on the Titan. While you don't get to see more of your documents on the screen compared to smaller phones due to the resolution what you do get are documents that are much easier to create and edit. I have noticed this especially while using Excel as each cell is much bigger and easier to manipulate. This phone just keeps getting better and better.UPDATE 12/03/2011 - 4G speeds. After researching 4G speeds on wpcentral.com it appears that AT&T; may be throttling their Windows Phones. In Boston where we have HSPA+ speeds I should be seeing twice the download speeds that I am currently getting. I still average around 4 Mbps which is fine for just about everything I have done so far but it sure would be nice to be up around 8. I am still leaving the review at 5 stars because the phone is still incredible but this is something you may want to consider if you are planning to switch over to AT&T;.


DISSATIFIED

I BOUGHT TWO OF THESE CHARGERS.  ONE CORD WORKED ONE DID NOT.  NOW I AM WITHOUT A NEW CORD TO USE WITH A NEW CHARGER.INCONVIENT FOR ME.  ALSO, THE ORDER TOOK A LONG TIME TO RECEIVE. IF I KNEW IT WAS COMING FROM CHINA, I WOULD NOT HAVE PLACED THE ORDER.


Can't use with camera flash. Buttons impossible to press

This case fits fine, but I had to completely cut off the portion of the case covering the buttons because they were virtually impossible to press.  Also the hole covering the flash is too small so it reflects a bunch of the flash and ruins any photos utilizing it.  I still need to try to use a Dremel or something to expand the hole.  I guess you get what you pay for in this case.


Mic too good...?

I have been looking for a noise canceling headphone with a mic so that I get the full benefit of using them with my blackberry while traveling.  Just received the Bose QC-15 headphones and the mobile communications kit.  The mic is too exceptional, it is very clear for any one on the other end of the phone provided there is no background noise.  The mic picks up everything, unless you are in a very quiet environment people on the other end of the call hear everything and more clearly than if they are in the same room. It does not take much background noise to make this mic unusable. I can not use them in my vehicle and I suspect a noisy environment like an airport terminal would be much the same.


Very Good...with small modification

First, the sound is good for a small room or for background music. It will not overwhelm you with super loud booming music. Overall, louder and better than I expected for the small size and price (on sale). No connection problem for me, even at moderate distances.At first, the blinking  blue LED did not bother me. But it is quite bright and started to annoy me. At first, I planned on just putting a sticker on the front, to obscure the LED. But I had a few spare minutes and decided to try to block the light from the inside. There are 6 small screws on the bottom, four hidden by the rubber feet and one by the manufacturer's sticker. The rest of the disassembly is very intuitive. Removing the small LED board (two tiny screws) is simple. I just placed a little bit of foam in the top hole... Stuffing it in with a toothpick. Reassembled the speaker. Now I can see the blue flashing, but it is not blinding or annoying. Really, probably 8 minutes. Kind of fun.Now, it's just about perfect for me. I recommend this if you can get it for a good price!


Best android phone yet

This phone is amazing, I've had my fair share of phone. I went from the Palm pre plus to the droid eris, to the droid incredible, to the htc rezound, to this. Let's just get into it.Design: Very thin and sleek, very nice. The only complaint I have is the phone is very slippery. This does not remain an issue for me as I got a case right away, but, if you like your phone naked it's buttery, just like it's OS!OS: I've always liked the look of AOSP android, but many didn't. It kind of felt like linux, unless you put some stuff on top of it, it was just kind of, meh. ICS really polished that up. This now feels like a phone with a skin on it, with many features.Performance (OS performance) Wonderful. 1.2ghz of dual core and 1 gig of ram is a good combination. I struggle trying to find any lag, and everything is very buttery and nice. Scrolling and pinch to zoom is buttery as ever. OS performance is like the design (buttery) except in a good way!Speaker and earpiece: Speaker is not as loud as many would prefer, but a simple app from the market fixes that. The speaker sounds nice! Earpiece: It's hard for an earpiece to be not good, it's plenty loud and sounds crisp and clear, not much else to say.Screen: Amazing, 4.65 inches of Samoled HD goodness, best screen on the market, and very nice. Colors are crisp, clear and bright. Pentile is unnoticable, not near unnoticable, unnoticable.Signal and data: Many complain about pour 3G signal performance, my area (at least my house) has horrible signal and I got normal signal compared with my other phones. Data-4G LTE, I get 40 down and 13 up on average, 'nuff said.Battery: Not the best, but the best of any LTE phone. However, I'm a major modder so I have a ton of custom kernels and rom's, I get a good 14 or 15 hours of heavy usage. If you guys want some advice on stuff to do find the Galaxy nexus forum at rootzwiki.com, I am many other people are very willing to help, and will help.Camera: Front facing camera is as good as any other, it serves it's purpose for skype calls, I've done it. Rear camera is not too good, but it's decent, and good enough for a phone. (I'm a photographer and have spent 8,000 dollars on lenses and have 3 DSLR's for the record ;) ) The zero shutter lag for me almost makes up for it, it's a very nice feature.Vs. Rezound. This is opinion here, but I personally switched to the Nexus after 3 rezounds. Many Rezounds have issues, more than 50 percent I would say. I went through 3, and later found out all the others that store had had issues. My local store has sold 18 rezounds, and returned 48, because of returns due to issues. I'm happy I made the switch, besides camera, I'd say everything is better. Screen, performance, everything all around. HTC sends out phones like they put on the market a phone their kid drew at school. The nexus has quality, and much work went into it, to make it nothing but perfect.


Works well, but longer would be better.

I have an iPad and have been looking for a stylus to be able to use it like a writing tablet. I have tried the Adonit Jot Pro, Targus and Griffin Stylus, and now the New Trent stylus. They all have their good and bad points but this is my experience with the New Trent product and how it compared to the others.Size: The stylus is short. I am a pretty tall guy and I have long, skinny fingers. Short writing instruments are a challenge for me if they are not long enough for the top of the instrument to sit in the space between my thumb and hand. This stylus isn't long enough and so I found myself having to change the way I held it. I found that unnatural but not difficult to do.Weight: This stylus, compared to the weighted Jot Pro, is extremely light. If you like holding on to your writing instrument and feeling some weight, this won't do it for you. But it turns out the weight is a plus for me considering the short size. I found that I was not fighting the weight to keep control because the stylus was shorter than I like.Not-a-Stylus: This stylus has a ball point pen built in. It's the first stylus I have tried that had an extra capability, and I have found myself actually using the pen as much as the stylus side! The pen writes smoothly and evenly, and is easy to expose and retract. It is a really nice feature to have.Stylus: Ok, so how about that capacitive mesh stylus? Looking at the photo I didn't really have an expectation for the stylus end, so when I got it I was a little surprised. At first it reminded me of a Q-Tip that wasn't wound tight. It doesn't sag off the side or anything but it is "soft". The Targus stylus is a rubber tip and is hard, giving almost nothing when using it to write or draw. The Adonit jot Pro is a hard metal ball. The New Trent stylus felt much less like a pen and more like a paint brush, making for very smooth transition to the surface when putting the stylus down to write. There was no hard, abrupt transition.Function: This is the biggie for me. How well does it actually work? And how does that compare to the others I have used? New Trent wins, hands down. Surprised? I was too, but I have a very specific reason: it doesn't stick! My iPad is protected by a BodyGardz screen protector. The Adonit Jot Pro has a plastic disk on the end and it grabs the screen like crazy! I love the weight but with the screen protector it just isn't very functional. Using the Targus and Griffin styli they tend to hop or skip as they stick and then release from the display. Granted, this is only when I am trying to write notes and I press too hard but that's how I use it. The New Trent stylus is a smooth movement. For me that is most important.I would change two things about it: length and weight. Longer and heavier would give it an easier to grasp, more solid feel. Would I buy it again? Maybe. If they make the changes I recommend, absolutely.


Good reliable phone

Having owned this phone for quite a long time now, I will say that this phone has been a very reliable phone for me.  It has held up from the drops and oops and still keeps going strong.  The biggest disadvantage today for this phone is that you are limited to what version of Android your carrier decides to stop at before no longer upgrading.  It is well capable of handling the later versions of the android operating system but unfortunately for me, my carrier has discontinued android OS updates at 2.3.  But if you are willing to live with that then this phone is a good reliable choice.  Battery life is good but like most batteries these days, they start to dwindle in lifespan after a couple years and you are stuck at either upgrading or spending a premium for Motorola's replacement battery.This phone does it all well and in my opinion works better than an Iphone.


Awesome powerbank

I got one of these (the 18,000 mAh version) through a Kickstarter campaign (just ended 5/31/13) and was kind of surprised to see it on Amazon so quickly.  So far, I really like this.  I've charged myKindle Paperwhite 3G, 6" High Resolution Display with Built-in Light, Free 3G + Wi-Fi - Includes Special Offers, mySamsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7-Inch, Wi-Fi), and mySamsung Galaxy S III/S3 GT-I9300 Factory Unlocked Phone - International Version (Pebble Blue)all on the same initial charge.  The phone and Kindle still had about 1/2 charge left when I started, but the tablet was completely dead when I plugged it in and all three charged to 100%.  I'm not sure how much is left in the bank now (>25% according to the light) but it's enough to turn on the flashlight, which is quite bright!This has a full rubber coating that's nice and grippy and will keep this from slipping off the table when your cat jumps up.  It's slightly shorter and wider than my phone, and about twice as thick.  It's able to charge 2 USB things at once, and comes with a 2-in-1 micro USB/iPhone (old style) charging cord.  If you want to charge your Galaxy Tablet, you'll have to provide your own plug.  (Not a problem for me - I'm just happy it will charge the Galaxy tab at all.)  It's got a flashlight - click the on/off switch TWICE to turn that on or off.  It's about 2.5 times as heavy as my phone (using the scientific process of holding one in each hand and guestimating).I charged it over night, so I don't know how long it actually takes to charge up.  But my phone, tablet, and Kindle charged in just a few hours.It says the cycle life is 500 uses.  I've had it less than a week, so I can't vouch for that.  But it's first few uses went quite well.  It didn't get hot (though the rubber could have masked that) and it charged several things.Someday someone will invent a two ounce, 50,000 mAh battery that will charge itself just from the air in ten minutes.  (I would seriously invest in that Kickstarter campaign!)  Until then, this is a pretty good option.


Big upgrade from old lg flip tracfone

My old Tracfone died and I wasn't ready to dish out the big bucks for an Android or Iphone, so I bought this one. It's NOT a smartphone, but is somewhat similar to one. It has many more features than my old LG flip phone from Tracfone. I've had it a few weeks now and love it. The voice quality is very good, the camera is just okay, it's easy to use most of the features but haven't figured out how to use the internet part yet. Went to Starbucks to get free wifi and noodle around with it, but not much luck. Will have to ask for help on this I'm afraid. I'm very pleased with this phone so far and would definitely recommend it. I also bought a decorative case and clear screen protectors.


Had no use as not able to be used in my area....

Could NOT (after specifically asking) use this phone in my area therefore, it was of no use AND I purchased a $50 non-refundable service card as well! NOT HAPPY AT ALL!!


Good Screens, But No Instructions

Although they are labeled "Luxmo" the screen that arrived where called the "Professional ScreenGuard". This 3-Pack is an excellent value. For less than $2.00 you get 3 screens and shipping is free. If you bought a comparable product at Best Buy Online you would spend about $14.The screens themselves are a "hair" smaller than the actual screen length of the HTC One S, but provide more than acceptable coverage. This is important if you're like me and intend on owning your smartphone for at least 2 years and want the screen to remain new looking for the entire period.Although I've used protective screens before, I was expecting instructions to be included in this purchase. After all, they have no idea if it's my first or millionth time applying them a smartphone. In addition, some manufacturers ask you to apply them dry, while others suggest a minute amount of water or "soapy water". Applying them exactly as the manufacturer instructs will protect you, your phone and ensure that any "defective product" claim you could have to file later is honored.In the absence of instructions I used caution in applying the product. First, I cleaned my phone's screen with cleanDr, an alcohol and ammonia free cleaning fluid. I wiped it dry with a new soft 100% polyester towel designed for computer monitors, HDTVs etc. Then I placed the microfiber cloth provided in the packaging over the phone's screen to keep dust from collecting while I peeled the screen's first protective film off. Because this manufacturer supplied no instructions I applied the first screen dry. Each screen has a protective film on both sides. You peel the film labeled "1", then place the uncovered side to your phone, align it, then press, then remove the film labeled "2" and press again. I used a credit card to coax bubbles off the phone's surface after I applied the screen.It took some time, but I got 99% of the bubbles out. A few very very small ones remain, but none that impact usability when the screen is on. But when it's off, if you look at it closely you can see them - especially if you're anal retentive about your phone's appearance like I am.All in all, the screens are high quality, dirt cheap and application was simple. My only suggestion is that the seller provides a small typed card that reminds the buyer to clean their phone first, how to apply and finally how to remove bubbles. A new user will ruin a screen or fingerprint it to oblivion without instructions.


Love this Case!!!

I wanted a rugged case with a kickstand that could protect the phone if I happened to drop it.Bonus:  MADE IN THE USA!!! You gotta love that!!!Price:Comparable (if not lower) than other cases that provide this amount of protection!Size:I will say the case is huge! However, so is the phone compared to my old Photon 4G. However, I like the extra thickness.  To me the Galaxy S4 is a bit too thin and slick!Weight:As for weight (with the phone in the case), it seems heavy. That is after using the S4 without a case for a few days.  But, with a case designed to protect your phone like this one does, is going to add extra weight. With that said, (by holding one in one hand and the other in the other hand), it feels lighter than my old Photon (without a case on!).  Also, it feels lighter than my buddy's iPhone 4S while in its Otterbox(OB) Commuter case!Feel:I will say that it feels a little slick to the touch, kind of like an OB Commuter.  However, it has enought rubber on the sides where I don't think it will be an issue.  On a positive note, it goes in and out of my pocket a LOT smother than my OB Defender!Style:I like the style.  It looks and feels manly and rugged. Personally I like the way it looks.  I also love how they did the camera port on the back.  I didn't get this case to protect my phone from dirt and water, so that is not a worry for me.  I like that it is easy clean the camera lens.  Also, the flash does not bounce off the edges of the case and wash out photos (like my OB Defender case did on my Photon).  One of the deciding factors of getting this phone was to use the camera. Esp of my son while being out and about.  So I'm extremely happy the case does not interfere with that.  With that said, there is no protection over the lens.  So if it happens to fall onto gravel or something raised right were the camera lens is, that might be an issue...Ruggedness:I'm not going to do any of my own testing!  So if you are looking for results from drop tests, etc. you can stop reading hear.  Check out Trident's videos: http://www.tridentcase.com/media/videos.aspx, there are some great vids on there regarding their cases.  So, here are my thoughts on it.  To me it feels like it will provide as much (if not more) protection that what my OB Defender did for my Photon.  After it gets dropped a time or two (or thrown across the room by my 2 year old :D ) I'll update this post more.The One downside: Kickstand!How do you take off the kickstand!?!?Not that I needed to, but the idea of the bike mount is really nice. However there are no written instructions on how to do it correctly. Just a small graphic that did make sense to me.  But, I finally figure it out.  DON'T PULL it out away from the case!!!  You'll tweak the hinge and either make it loose (like I did...) or break it.  NOTE: It slides out.Here is how to do it:Start with the kickstand in the open position.Grab the kickstand with Thumb on hinge.With a good grip, **slide** it across the back of the case, moving away from the hinge side.It will slide the click.From there align the tabs that hold it in place with the openings for the tabs and lift it out from the case.To install, just reverse the process.Once you get it down, it comes off and on fairly easily, but takes some effort. Which is nice...I wouldn't want a bump on the trail to knock it out of the bike mount.Customer Service:EXCELLENT!!!  Okay, so as you learned above, I bent the hinge and made it loose.  It is still usable, but for how long?  I know, it way my fault...Although better instructions would have helped.  I just didn't understand what the little graphic in the book was trying to telling me. ***Trident: Please post a video on how to take it off correctly for others!!!***  Any ways, I called and told them what happened.  Without any hesitation they asked me to email them my shipping address and they would send me a replacement right away. No other questions or hassles.  Now that is Customer Service!!!  I was going to take off a star for because the instructions could be better, but this made up for it. :DSo for now, that is my thoughts and review.


Ohhh I'm Mad Now  (¡~_~!)

I purchased this fine piece of technology to use in my hover craft. I did some adjusting to accommodate this thing into the tiny hole where its supposed to go. Ive had it for a while and I can say it makes my cancer flair up real nice when I have it all powered up and running correctly, will purchase again tomorrow because I am good like that.Shout out to Kobe And Tiger WoodsBlack Foot MafiaAll DayIn JailNo Bail


Not an XDPowers

Not sure where all of these good reviews came from.  I was sent a Chinese 7200mAh version. Not even an American logo on it (Chinese logo) and doesn't exactly resemble the one pictured. Works great as a battery unit when fully charged by charging in by computer or USB, but does NOT charge in full sun.  This is the exact purpose that I bought it for, hiking, camping and fishing trips. After 8 hours, it went up only one bar and as soon as i plugged something into it to charge, that bar went away within a minute.  I had such high hopes for this after seeing all of the positive reviews.  I believe I was sent a substitute and that there really is a good model out there somewhere.


Great UPS too

Works as advertised. Functions as a UPS seamlessly switching from charging to discharging without rebooting my Raspberry Pi. Haven't really tested capacity or charging time much.


Great Case

Case is great, my kids love watching youtube videos on my phone and the built in stand eliminates the need to always prop it up.  I also like the fact that the whole world doesn't see my text messages when i get one.  It also does a decent job protecting my phone as Ive dropped it a few times and got no damage.Good purchase!  A highly recommend it!


Superb phone, great network-Update 1 year later

I was a long time T-Mobile customer, and then was wooed by the iPhone4 and AT&T.;  After a year of frustration over typing on a touchscreen (maddening) and a total dead zone at work, I paid up an early termination fee and bought this T-Mobile Blackberry.Like other reviewers stated, the phone works and works well.The little keyboard is FANTASTIC!  So much easier to type quickly and accurately as compared to a touchscreen keyboard.I get 5 bars of service at my desk, where AT&T; could only manage "no service" or one bar.  I get the wonderful UMA calling, which routes calls over wifi networks, to use where T-Mobile lacks service.Blackberry 6 is a great update.  The various apps are nicely integrated with the device and with each other, you do not need to pop into the photos to find a picture, back out, then in to another app to post the picture, you can just roll through the menu to do it right from the posting app.  Much more convenient.  The universal search is very useful.  The browser is still a bit slow and not as smoothly intuitive as the iPhone's Safari browser, but it is way better than older blackberry browsers.I am very very happy with this phone!UPDATE, July 2012:I still love this phone!  Still works superbly, and has held up really well; still looks brand new!  I love the messaging capabilities of this phone, and it works really well as a phone too.  Comfortable in the hand, gets good clear calls, easy to find and call contacts.  I'm sad to read of BlackBerry woes, they make great phones!  I would love to upgrade to the new ones but this one just works so well I can't justify the expense.


Long time Otterbox user

I've been using OtterBox for years and I've never had a problem with them. After reading some of the reviews for this particular item i was a little hesitant on purchasing it. For example one person said that it was difficult to plug in the charger. Another said that it was hard to take the phone out of the case. A third said it was bulky.I just purchased the defender and those were the first things I checked after installing the phone. I did not experience the issues stated in the other reviews. As far as it being bulky... Well Yeah it's an otterbox. I recommend this case to anyone who wants to protect there phone.


Not perfect - but the best phone so far

I bought this phone on sale from AT&T; after owning the iPhone 3G and 3GS.Here are my thoughts:-- Apps - I did some research at the marketplace to make certain that I could live with the available apps.  You should do the same. There aren't nearly as many official apps. I discovered that all of the apps I really need are there (like Amazon and Kindle). Those lacking 'official' apps have third-party alternatives.  I have since discovered that some of the Wikipedia alternatives are better than the official app on the iPhone.  The third-party Dropbox and Pandora apps seem to work well, too. The only hitch I had was that while some banks have official apps, mine did not.  I knew I could use the website.  Once I got the phone I realized that the large screen and the excellent browser made online banking a snap.  I can even pin the website to the start screen just like an app. The overall experience on the browser is actually better than the iPhone app.-- Windows Phone 7.5 - Incredible, smooth, fluid, fun, and (here comes an Apple word)... Magical. It is so cool to see your contacts from Gmail and Facebook being linked and all of that information flowing together.  I keep up with my grown kids better than ever thanks to that integration. The screens are beautiful and stark. There were a few new tricks to learn since it doesn't work like the iPhone, but it is so refreshingly different from everything else out there and, in my opinion, better.-- Battery life - no difficulty going all day long and then some on a charge.  Even with heavy usage  I don't run out of juice. There is a low-battery mode that cuts some of the background activity when you are low. I enabled it just in case.-- Email - a cinch to set up.  The large screen makes it so easy to use.  Also, I can search easily in any inbox and not just phone-wide.  Since this is my work email, that alone makes it worthwhile. I especially like how sideways finger flicks take you through all mail, unread, flagged, urgent, and back to all so fluidly.  I find myself doing more than triage - which is what I mostly did on my old phone.-- Calendar - great with one exception - I would prefer more views.  Once again, the high-contrast and beautiful typography makes reading a snap.  I agreed to a party on Facebook and it showed up on my calendar in a different color than my work events.  That was cool.-- Voice - Better than the old iPhones but still needs work.  Reading of incoming texts when I'm in the car on Bluetooth is great.  Text-to-speech in reply works well most of the time, but there are times when it just can't work out what I'm saying.  I'm sure if I had an earpiece with the mic near my mouth it would be better.-- Office - Works well with SkyDrive integration.  I take my notes in OneNote and replicate them to SkyDrive, so I have immediate access.  Having all the Office apps is a real advantage since this is mostly a work tool for me.-- Phone - I almost forgot that this thing is a phone.  Call quality is acceptable but could be better.  The phone doesn't seem to drop calls like the iPhone.  I don't know why, but it hasn't dropped a single one.  I never went even a couple of days without a dropped call on the iPhone. Speakerphone is good and loud.-- Screen - I waited too long for this - This screen is AWESOME! I am not getting any younger and I love how much easier it is for me to read this screen.  It is first thing that people notice.-- Browser - I haven't used IE regularly in years, but this thing works really well.  I haven't had any real page formatting errors.  It doesn't seem to work with Amazon Cloud Drive, but that doesn't matter a lot to me.  One thing that I should mention relating to the OS, the screen, and the browser - the 'pinch to zoom' on this phone is so fluid and so easy that you just have to try it to believe it.-- Camera - I'm no camera nerd, but it seems great to me.-- Marketplace - no issues.  Buying and downloading is easy.  All of my favorite podcasts were available. Your mileage may vary.-- Zune software - This is a big win for me.  iTunes on Windows is a terrible program.Things that need improvement:*Top button a little hard to get at*Miss the single 'silent' button (although the one on the 3GS didn't function anyway, which is common)*Call quality could be better (but at least I don't drop calls)*Would love expandable storage (but I didn't get it on the iPhone either)Final verdict:Like I said - not perfect, but the best phone so far.  You'll love it if you get one, but you have to enjoy being one of the few.  There aren't a lot of other Windows Phone users out there... YET.


Blue Ant and Amazon DID NOT Stand Behind this product that Failed in 2 weeks

This product is the newest most pricey bluetooth headset. I have been using and buying headsets since the dawn of time. I know how to use them. I owned the earlier Blue Ant model, as did my partner, and it fit pretty well, but failed, losing its charge capacity in very short order. The I got the premium, newest Jawbone (I had used the earlier Jawbone too and it worked well but fit poorly) , and it works fine but still fits poorly, never seeming to sit firmly in the ear. But at least it did not fall apart when being placed into the ear.I got the newest Blue Ant and it cracked along a smooth line within the first two weeks, when I was merely placing it into my ear. I had the receipt, the warranty, and the device which clearly evidences a manufacturing defect. I figured, having spent about 500.00 in the past year on Bluetooth alond I would get good treatment. However, the manufacturer denied the warranty request. Then the seller Blue Harbor Online, denied the request, apparently they are glad to take the money then disclaim any responsibility for the goods they sell. So I turned to Amazon - its SO CALLED "A to Z Guarantee." And they declined to help. How amazing. I thought A to Z indicated "comprehensive." My claim that a product should last more than 2 weeks in normal use is evidently the letter "Theta" or "Upsilon" or something outside the A to Z realm.What have I learned? Buy with a credit card from a reputable brick and mortar store, a local merchant who cares whether you ever come back.And, that there are letters aside from A to Z.Seriously disappointed ciastomer.


Nice case

This case is of excellent quality and with the wallet section I can combine bot my iphone and my wallet. Received it quickly.


MPx220 Great but charger outlet problems

This is a great phone in general when you consider all the functionality built into the product. I love the memory card as I use it as a MP3 player. Never had any problems out of the ordinary regarding reception. In addition, you can store a billion contacts add tasks, review your calendar.However, I have had to reset the phone once (never could figure out the issue) and I have replaced it once and will try again to replace the phone. The problem: the connection for the battery charger or USB data cable is sensitive and loses its connectivity.As indicated, this is the second time this has occured. Since I am past the warranty period (one year), I am unsure how Motorola will treat me. If I have a choice then I will move to a new phone as I am unwilling to risk Motorola not resolving the issue. I personally expect phones to last a long time and this is unacceptable (two phones over 15 months).


almost perfect

Although noted as being compatible, the soft part does not fit snug. Otherwise I can live with it becos it looks nice on the phone.


OK

This battery combo was not worth it. I thought I find something that was up to my daily use for my iphone. I guess I was wrong the only reason why I gave it a three star rating is due to the customer service from Amazon. She was on point but the battery on the other hand is something else. I called Sedio twice to address my concerns but they kept giving me the run around.


Yes it will ... iPad charger

One of the problems I have encountered with many of the USB Car Chargers is that many of them are intended strictly for phones and do not have enough power for my iPad.At 10W/2.1A, this will do both. The only confusing part about it (till I read the description here on Amazon) is that it has two strangely marked USB ports - UNI and APP. If you are as confused as I am, it is intended to be Universal (UNI) for non Apple products, and APP is intended to support Apple products. I guess it makes sense (in a way). I am much more used to the ports being labeled 1.0 and 2.1 based on the Amps provided to the specific ports. My iPhone (Apple) uses 1.0 and my iPad (also Apple) uses 2.1.Whichever case, they both charge correctly, so I assume it is 2.1 amps for the Apple.I'm giving this four stars, not because it isn't a nice product (it is) but because the instructions for which one to use were unclear.The product information states that the total output voltage is 5V and the total output Amps is 2.4. Because of this, and because of the way it differentiates Apple and Universal, I would hesitate to try to charge BOTH my iPhone and iPad at the same time and count on fast charging.I am grateful to have received a complimentary sample for my review.


good product, does what it says it will do

I switched from a verizon cell phone to the iphone 4 and at&t.;  Coverage in my area, Sedona, AZ is not that good with at&t.;  In my house I was getting 1-2 bars and a few dropped calls with my new phone.  When I went up on the roof, I discovered that I could get 5 bars on my phone.  So I bought the Wilson unit and installed it as per their clear instructions, putting the antenna on the roof and the amplifier in my living room.  It raised my bars in the house to 4-5 bars.  Calls are clear and strong now.  Very happy.Important point:  what you need to understand is that this unit will only amplify an existing cell signal.  It cannot amplify a non-existent signal.  In other words, you have to find a place in your house, probably on the roof, where you get good strong cell reception.  Then the unit will bring that strong signal into your house.  The unit cannot create a signal where none exists.


Love my Note 3 Slate Slim Armor Case from Spigen

I love this Slim Armor Case for Spigen. At first I was thinking of getting the Neo-Hybrid case from Spigen, but I was happy that I chose the Slim Armor. The case is rugged and sturdy enough. I dropped the phone out of my pocket once and there was no damage to the phone whatsoever. I also put a glass screen protector on my Note 3 and appreciate the lip that extend beyond the glass screen thickness. When I put my phone face down the lip protected my glass screen from touching/scratching table surface. Over all I am very happy with this case.I would recommend the Slim Armor Case to any one seeking a case for his/her Note 3. Much better than the Slim Armor Case for the Iphone 5 (not enough-if there is any at all-lip protection for the glass screen).


Four Pairs Later, I have a Love/Hate Relationship With These Things (but far more love than hate)

I have small ears. People tell me they are adorable and they are I guess, but their size makes finding in-hear headphones almost impossible. It's like in-ear headphones were all made for elephants or something.  Anyway, when I found Yurbuds, my quest for finding the perfect in-ear headphone that fits seemed to end.  These things fit great. The women-specific model is perfect for my cute, tiny little ears. They stay in while running, while working out, while on the phone. I really like that they sound good while not blocking out all sound (I like being able to hear what is going on around me, as I often use these while running or on public transportation).The issue I have with Yurbuds is durability. I go through about 2-3 pairs a year. Seriously. Now, I will admit that I am a HEAVY user. I use my earbuds while working out, while riding public transportation, while taking on the phone, while working. These things are used A LOT. So I am willing to accept that a pair of any earbuds probably won't last me longer than a year. But I seem to have the same issue each time - one of the earbuds (usually the left) just stops working. In all fairness, the company has replaced two pairs so far. I didn't have the heart to send the last pair back because I figured it HAD to be something I was doing.But I'm stuck because these are the only damn earbuds that STAY IN MY FREAKISHLY SMALL EARS. And they really do fit great. They are comfortable and I can wear them with glasses.  So that's how I arrive at four stars.  And I do recommend them to others. I just wish I could get a single pair to last at least a year.


Basic. Don't expect an iPod Nano.

based on the reviews and research I did before I knew what I was getting and it works great.If you are the kind of person constantly sliding your phone in and out of your pocket this helps alleviate that mess.It's just an accessory and by no means necessary.If you keep coming back to this device again and again then buy it. You won't regret it so long as you know it isn't an iPod Nano.


Really surprised by the negative reviews.

This is a *really* sturdy case for the price. I am a total klutz and, while I wouldn't go throwing it on the ground on purpose, I definitely feel pretty confident that this case will save my phone from... well... me. The main reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is because the screen protector had multiple scratches upon receiving it. You can spend $25 on a flimsy rubbery thing and extra cash on screen protection film but this is a definitely way better bang for your buck.The Armorbox case is built specifically for the Nexus 5 and the fit on mine is perfect all around. All of the holes for all of the things match up perfectly. The power & volume buttons push down without any additional effort. Someone mentioned cutting off the flaps for the microUSB and headphone jacks but I plan to keep them to help keep it a little cleaner.The bumpers on each corner are technically separate pieces from the rest of the case but they're not flimsy or easy to just pop out. Not sure what kind of stress people are putting on this case to make that happen but I'm notoriously (though unintentionally) hard on my stuff.The Armorbox case will add bulk to the phone. It still fits in my jean pockets with no problem but I'm less likely to forget it's there now.Final Thoughts - This is a case for the accident prone (or someone who likes their phone to look like a piece of military equipment). If you've never dropped a phone in your life, get yourself a stick on screen protector and call it a day. If you're the kind of person who walks around with a cracked screen on your phone 8 months out of the year or who seems to have a constant case of the butterfingers, consider this a solid investment.Quick Tip - Make sure your actual phone screen is really clean and give the protector screen a good wipe down before assembling. You might get some dust and/or hairs in there over time but I can't imagine having to clean this thing out with any kind of frequency if you go into it with a super clean screen.Edit (1/9/14) - I am probably going to cut off the bottom flap for the charger port. The one for the headphone jack stays in place really well but the one on the bottom doesn't stick in place and catches on stuff.


4 stars..

I love the case, but when taking a picture, I have to take the phone out of the case when using the flash because it washes out the picture and you can't see anything


Small but works great

MUCH smaller than the DROID X but has all the same features.  Takes some getting used to with the touch screen, especially after having a slide out keypad of last (non-android) phone.  Internet is pretty quick and it picks up wifi signals easily.  Highly recommend searching forums as there are many background apps that run the battery down quickly that you wouldn't normally think about.  Once you shut off things that you aren't using (like wifi and bluetooth), the battery lasts a day with normal use.  Fun free apps available from the "market" that are timely and easy to use - depending on what you are looking for.  This little phone packs a lot of things in its little size.  Once your eyes adjust to using a screen that size (3.2"), and your fingers adjust to the keypad, it's easy to navigate.  I'm not sure if I like the suggestive typing feature but it does make lengthly conversations quicker. Will definitely upgrade to the next size for my next phone, although this is a great starter smartphone.


Good sports armband for small to medium sized arms

I've been using this armband for running with my iPhone 5 for several weeks and so far I've been for the most part impressed by it. I have small arms, 9 1/4" at the big point, so finding an armband that will stay on is a challenge.The armband strap has velcro along nearly it's entire length and ends with what I call a security knob. The security knob prevents the strap from slipping completely through the strap loop.I have worn this armband on my long sleeves and on my bare skin, and I have found it stay in place better when it is on the skin. The sweat sticks to the neoprene band and prevents it from moving. When I wear it on my sleeve, there is some movement no matter how tight I pull the band.You can't use this armband with a case of any kind on your iPhone because of the snug fit. The snug fit on a naked iPhone leaves no worry of your iPhone falling out or wiggling loose while running. The earphone plug lines up nicely as well as the front panel. The touch use on the front panel was no problem for me and I was able to easily navigate my running app and music while running.During the time I have used this armband, it has rained several times during my runs and my iPhone stayed protected. The top flap does come down far enough to cover the top part of the phone to keep it protected from moisture which has been a problem on some of Belkin's past iPhone sport armbands.This sports armband would be a good fit for those with small to medium sized arms since the widest size this armband to expand to is 12 inches without going past the security knob and it's smallest size is 8 inches.


Peeling Off at the Corner After Only 19 Hours of Gentle Use

I LUVVEDITT when I didn't have to use a messy application liquid to install the screen protector. It installed quickly and conveniently. The screen was clear and did not interfere with the touch screen on my 5S. It appeared that this screen protector would be a nice compliment to the LUVVITT case I also purchased. However, the screen protector is already peeling off at the corner after only 19 hours of use (six of which was spent on my night stand while I slept). I work in an office environment in southern California. The screen protector experienced no harsh environmental factors. It simply and quickly failed. Verdict: HATTEITT.Update: I e-mailed Luvvitt about the problem. They quickly and without hassle offered to send me a brand new screen protector without having the defective protector returned to them. I have to admit, that is good customer service. Verdict: LUVVITT.The customer service associate stated that the peeling could be the result of improper installation. That is fair enough. However, the protector comes with no detailed instructions, just numbers stuck to the protector that show the order of installation. If installation is key to the protector not peeling off, LUVVITT should provide more detailed instructions.


International unlocked vs US unlocked

Some of the reviewers should note that the listing is for the international unlocked and not the unlocked available via HTC site for $580.  I agree the price is too high for either but don't confuse the versions and listings because they have different bands.  Someone overseas may be interested in the international unlocked and can't get one so the price may be justified for them.  Having said that, I wouldn't buy one for these prices either.


Best iPhone earbuds I've used

I bought these a while back at Best Buy.  I have had no problems with them at all (that wasn't the result of user error) since buying them.  The build quality of everything is exceptional compared to the brands I've used in the past.  I use and sometimes abuse them almost daily, and they're still not showing any wear and tear, by now previous headphones would be showing wire or one earbud would start to break and eventually cease playing sounds.  I've had no complains about quality when talking with people on the phone and the volume and play/pause/ffw/rw/answer/hangup buttons work great!I love them.  I'm no audiophile in the least bit.  The sound quality excellent to my ears, however there are quite a few people complaining about the quality so maybe it's my ears :o)  I would definitely highly recommend them to others.


DOA

DOA.  I am returning it.  It would not accept a charge from the solar array nor the wall plug.  I am likely to get a different one.


Only a few days but LOVE this phone - 1/22

I have only had this phone for a few days, but already I LOVE this phone. The reception is great, its small, loaded with features including my 1900 plus contacts from Outlook. (so easy to do)  I have a lot more to learn about it and will update this more later, but so far, so GREAT on this phone!


samsungintensity2lover

Had it for two years now, and I absolutely love it. I get an upgrade soon, and I'm definetly going to miss this phone. Easy to text, nice calling, easy to use, GREAT battery life (I once got 7 days out of this phone on one charge!) Incredibly durable! It has survived two years of a teenage girl who has issues with dropping it and falling into rivers with it in her pocket. Never got a replacement. I had a friend kick-drop it across a field onto solid concrete, and it was perfectly fine. The blue is very beautiful and looks nice. AMAZING PHONE! The only down side is the camera. Not gunna lie, it sucks. However, if you are looking for a durable, easy to use, pretty, texting phone, this is a great buy! I would definately reccomend it!


Very surprised!

I damaged my other battery cover by accidentally getting super glue on it. It caused the shiny coat to come off. I purchased this because it was cheap. I didn't expect much, but boy was I wrong!To start off, the delivery estimate was for "Wednesday, October 2, 2013 - Monday, October 7, 2013" I purchased this on Thursday, September 26th. It shipped that night from California, was in transit on Friday and Saturday. It arrived in my city here in Indiana on Sunday, and was delivered today on Monday, September 30th. Excellent shipping speed! I am very pleased!The cover came in a standard padded envelop, inside a thin, sealed, plastic sleeve. Once removed from the sleeve, the cover had a plastic film on it to protect from scratches.The cover went onto my phone perfectly and there are absolutely no gaps. It fits exactly the same as the original cover I had.Pros:Same fit as original coverInexpensiveCons:Absolutely none!


Did not work

This is a pretty simple item, a small two usb DC adapter with a small red LED to let you know when it's drawing power.  Unlike some of the competition it does not come with cables or anything else, just the adapter in a plastic bag.  One of the outlets is 2.1 amps, the other is 1 amp, so you can charge two items at the same time such as a cell phone and a tablet. What I like about this item is that it is much smaller in size than others I have used with two usb outs so it doesn't take up much room in your glovebox and will not take up a lot of space around your cigarette lighter plug.  I also appreciate the low cost.  My experience with DC adapters is that they tend to die after a year or so anyhow.  Although I would rather pay more and have one that lasts since I can't seem to find one I would rather get an inexpensive unit knowing that I will probably have to replace it on a daily basis.Update: this unit would only recharge my cellphone ( a Nexus GSM ) using the 2 amp outlet and would only charge my Samsung Tab 7 Plus, Asus Transformer or iPad 3 in trickle mode when they were turned off, making it absolutely worthless. The brand I had purchased from Amazon before could charge my phone and the Tab at the same time while they were on, but it burned out after two months. Maybe it's just impossible to find one of these that will charge both at the same time and last a while. Anyway, I am returning this and trying yet another brand - maybe my luck will change.


no real protection here

Let's face it, the iphone is a very attractive phone and it seems a shame to have to cover it up with anything. But it is also a very expensive phone and who really wants to take the chance of dropping it and having to replace it? Therefore we iphone owners must swallow our pride and find something sturdy to protect our lovely investment. The  spigen sgp SLIM ARMOR is not it. This is basically a case for very careful iphone users. (And while I may consider myself one, I am not foolish enough to believe that accidents will not happen.) The Slim Armor offers NO screen protector! More foolish, it has nothing to cover and protect the all-too important HOME button. The HOME button on the iphone can be very susceptible to breakage due to moisture. (A friend of mine ran into this and so have many others). The home key needs protection from the elements! The only case I have ever found that does this for the iphone is still the best: The OTTER BOX DEFENDER SERIES - also available here on Amazon.


not much better than year old battery for holding a charge.

no real improvement over original year + old one, should be getting twice the time of the one that is old


Needs better belt clip design

This is my third version of this type of Samsung Galaxy case and the main problem I keep happening is the belt clip. It tends to break under the littlest amount of pressure. I would not recommend this.


1 star only

I would not Advise no one too buy this phone most apps on the App Store and the background light flashes for no reason. Not a good phone


Great Seller

When I received this iphone 4 it was in great condition, but it somehow slipped through the cracks and the unlock and updated os was not completed. I found this out when I tried to have a prepaid service turned on and shelled out $60 for a chip that was nonrefundable. I was furious, I expected the worst to try and resolve this issue, but when I emailed him on Friday night about 6 pm western time he responded within 20 minutes. He apologized profusely and talked me through how to finish the unlock and update til 11:30. then when I installed my new chip it works fine and has been fine ever since I would definitely recommend and buy from this seller again. Things happen and he stood behind his product well past regular business hours.


Terrible

When I received it it looked nice but the case turned out to be to big!! How can they make this like that? Stupidest mistake I have ever seen! The case won't even stay on my iPhone


Not comfortable - can't move

I would not buy this headset again.  The sound quality was fine for me, and they are easy to sync to my iPad2, but the plastic earphone support bar pushes inward too far and rubs again my head and is uncomfortable. It appears to be make to rest over the ears, but that is also uncomforable.  It pulls down so hard on my ears that after a couple days I would look like Dopey of Snow White & the 7 Dwarfs.  If you don't hook it over your ears, then it will fall off.Also, it ocassionally loses sync with the iPad when I start it up, so I have to "pair" it again.My advice is to keep searching.


Excellent Portable Battery

This external battery is well worth the money. It is universal and will charge both my cell phone and my iPod touch fully once each on a single charge. It will not charge both of them at the same time. The battery life may vary and depends on the type of phone you have. I have not done it, but hear it will only charge a Droid or iPhone 4S only once because of its large battery size. I find it has come in very handy when I have a dead phone and no outlet available. The charging time for the phone is as normal as if you were to plug it in to charge it. It is very small and portable. It has 4 LED lights to show how much battery is left. It comes with a USB cable to charge it. However, there is no USB wall plug in to charge it though. The charging time on the external battery itself, is around 2-4 hours. If you want a reliable spare external battery but have two different type of devices, I highly recommend this product.


You Get What You Pay For!!

I can hear better from the speaker on my phone.  This is a piece of crap!! I don't recommend anyone to buy this junk....Need I say more?


Best bang for the buck

I have enjoyed the last few weeks with my LG Optimus 9 very much (once T-MO resolved issues on their side, but that's not the phone's fault).  It seems very responsive, I have never noticed any lag at all.  4G speeds seem decent enough and it flies on wifi.  The screen is a thing a beauty.  Battery life is about a day which is what I expected from these types of smart phones.My wife got a Galaxy S4, and while I can tell it is faster and has more bells and whistles.... is it $500 better?  NOPE.Some things I have noticed that do not detract from my experience, just things I wonder about...Once the phone turned itself off for no reason, and I had to remove and reseat the battery to get it to come back up.  No idea why, had 50% or so of battery left.  Strange.The touch screen doesn't like sweaty hands, I doubt this is a problem exclusive to the L9, just touchscreens in general.  I was outside all day in the Texas summer heat the other day and someone called me.... I couldn't get it to register my finger swipe to answer the call, my finger was too sweaty.  I had to find a dry spot on me to wipe it off (my sock was the only thing I was wearing that wasn't soaked to the bone) then call the person back.  Maybe there is another way to answer a call I don't know about.The screen is really hard to see in direct sunlight, but then again so is my wife's GS4, our previous phones (optimus M and Galaxy S) and just about every cell phone I have owned in the last 10 years that uses an LCD screen.  This is more of a gripe of LCD touchscreens in general, maybe someday they will come up with one you can see outside.The speakerphone at max volume sounds very echo-y if you are holding the phone.  If you put it down on a flat surface it sounds better.  Knocking down the volume a notch or 2 takes care of it.All in all I am very happy with it, and it was $500 cheaper than my wife's GS4.  Winning!


Battery works well, case shipped broken

The battery and case arrived and looks very nice. It fits well and looks very natural on the phone. The case had 2 cracks in it when I opened the package. At this price, I understand why the seller does not ship in better packaging. I would be willing to pay $5 more for a sturdier package to avoid breakage of product.  So far, the battery is lasting like a BOSS. I've been using the phone a lot more than normal and after 28 hours (factor in sleep time) I'm sitting at 58%. The directions are well written and clear. Charge for at least 12 hours, then let it go all the way to 0% 4 times before resuming 'normal' charging.-Update-I've had this battery for about a week now and it consistently lasts for about 40 hours with heavy use. I'm very pleased other than the cracks in the case.UpdateIt's been several weeks and I'm loving this battery. I upped the star count to 4 because it's very close to perfect.


Bluetooth HKT450 Hands-free kit

I have purchased many items from Amazon.com and one of the latest purchases was the Bluetooth HKT450 Hands free kit.  So far so good. It works great and is easy to install and use.The Amazon customer service person was very helpful in advising me about how this device would work with my cell phone.ThanksAnn


Great phone - GPS has *PROBLEMS*!!!

UPDATE 11 June 2012:This is actually a great phone, having played with it for about a week. Sense is more lightweight but more targeted, meaning it does not crete any lag (maybe the quad processor helps with that) and at the same time it is there wherever you need it to have a meaningful shortcut in the android, so you don't need to go through 3-4 screen taps more.However, I spent this week with HTC troubleshooting and now they confirmed I need to contact their technicians to fix the problem, which obviously I am not going to do. I will just return the phone and try my luck from another batch, I am sure that not all One X's have this problem. I will leave the 2 stars (although the phone is worth 4-5 stars) so people are aware that they might get a faulty GPS.--I received this phone only today.It is great! My previous phone was a Samsung Galaxy S II and I really liked it, but I wanted something newer and better, so I went for the HTC One X.The One X is fast, has a beautiful screen, HTC sense has improved a lot (I used to have HTCs in the past, and Sense was bloating the device - now it gives a much better integration with ICS but is much more lightweight) and it is nice to have 25GB in drop box with it.However, there is a problem that is HUGE for me, and hence the two stars: The GPS is buggy! As long as I keep moving in the car my location seems pretty fixed, when I stop in a red light, it goes mad, I jump all over the place, Google Maps (and HTC Locations) show me one second here, and next second two blocks down the road. The software keep re-calculating and honestly it is really unusable! I used several tools such as "GPS Status" and "GPS Essentials" and all show the same problem.Here are some links about other people reporting the same issue:[...][...][...]Please note that XDA developers suggest a fix, however this did not work for me, and also it did not work for other people in other forums.I really hope this is a software issue and soon there will be an update. I will wait a couple of weeks and if this is not fixed, the phone will be sent back to Amazon (who by the way did a great job delivering it within 24hs as requested).


Be careful

I was very excited when I purchased this phone until I took to Verizon and was told that it could not be activated for six months because it was what is called "pre-paid".  This is a major disappointment to me because I had to pay shipping to return the phone and have no idea what Amazon will give me back for a refund since the package was opened by Verizon when they tried to activate.  Buyer be ware is all I got to say!


Mala calidad del producto

Solo funciono un solo Dia luego dejo de funcionar, de rompió en contacto de la base y no lo pude usar mas ya que no hacia contacto con mi IPhone 4


It's fake

Not only has there never been a demonstrated connection between cell phones and health hazards but this product is worthless.If a case really did absorb the radiation (the cell phone signal) all it would do is reduce your cell phone reception. Yeah so if it worked you would just have a bad signal.


Amazing!

The wait was so worth it, after a week after the estimated arrive date I was so excited and i am absoultley pleased with these. just amazing and the best part was that since they are blank i got the chance to make my own logo on them. thank you so much.


Flunking grade for power management, otherwise good

-I am both delighted and disappointed with Dell Venue Pro. Windows Phone is the operating system of my choice primarily due to its productivity. Venue Pro is very much businesslike, precisely the type of mobile phone I want. However, the terrible power management makes it virtually unbearable to me.Let me give my Ratings below first (on a scale of 10, with numbers in the parenthesis for iPhone 4 as a reference):Thermal performance:  2 (8)Battery life:  2 (7)Build quality: 9 (9.5)Screen quality: 9.5 (9.5) *Processor:  meaningless comparison (but see "speed and efficiency")OS reliability:  9.9 (9.5)OS fluency:  9.5 (9.0)OS feature depth:  6 (9)OS flexibility/customization:  5 (8)OS app ecosystem:  5 (9.5)Productivity:  9 (5)Form factor and appearance:  completely subjectiveEntertainment: 9 (9)Speed and efficiency: 9 (7)* yes the retina screen of iPhone 4 has higher resolution, but the screen of Venue Pro looks slightly better under sunlight. In practice it's a wash.As you can see above, Venue Pro even manages to beat iPhone 4 in the few very important areas, but at the end of the day, it's just such a miserable device.  The Venue Pro is otherwise a very capable phone, but the power management which includes thermal performance and battery life is so terrible, it really deserves a failing grade.  A pity, because this phone with Windows 7.5 would have been a quite attractive device.THE POWER MANAGEMENT DESERVING OF FLUNKING GRADEFirst, it runs very warm in your hands. Quite uncomfortable after just a few minutes of running a few apps, some email-checking or web browsing. This is not only uncomfortable, but could actually be even a health concern. I know what heat and radiation of a mobile device can do to human body. My hands got a slowly burnt condition as a result of  longtime use of Windows tablet computers. With Venue Pro, the thermal problem is so seriously bad that the issue alone makes it an extremely undesirable phone.Second, the battery life is miserable, not really surprising given the bad heat problem. This phone will not last a day, unless you don't use it at all.  It can support only about 2 hours of continuous use, many times whorse than my laptop. It has just a bit over 24 hours of standby time even if you don't use it at all (again, many times worse than my laptop).  Any modestly use (for example, very modest amount of browsing and e-mailing plus a few short calls) will exhaust the battery of this phone before the end of the day. I am not a heavy mobile user, and still I usually end up having to charge it at least once a day. When I'm out on a trip, twice or more a day, making it among the biggest mental burdens while you're traveling. Simply not worth it. This is absolutely the worst battery performance among the many phones I have used or and handled.  To me,  this is simply unacceptable. It may be too much to ask for a phone that last for a week, especially with the smart phones becoming almost full-featured computers. But failing to last even a single day is too much of a shortcoming.MIXED BAG WITH THE WP 7.5 OSI love and hate Windows phone OS. The user interface is very intuitive. Glitch free and just so smooth (which is every bit as good as iOS, but much better than Android).  The best of all, however, is that Windows Phone OS is the most productive smart phone OS among the major platforms. If you are a content consumer, all three mobile platforms are shoulder to shoulder. But if you are a content creator, Windows Phone is far ahead. The iPhone and Android cannot match the power of Microsoft's Office 365 which integrates with Microsoft Phone perfectly.  If you or your company subscribe to Office 365 and use the cloud versions of the Outlook, TeamSite and SharePoint, the Microsoft phone can do almost anything you can do using a laptop, although with certain limitations on the small user interface. Even if you don't use Office 365, getting the free Windows Live and Skydive (which is very much underrated) would already be an excellent productive user experience.Another potentially killer app on WP is the just released Skype (still beta, but very usable). If you use Skype Pro or Skype Out, you can actually make phone calls anywhere in the world as long as you have Wi-Fi connection. No cellular connection is required. I was on an international trip the other day, and it came extremely handy. I was able to make calls back to home and work at the airports even though I did not have a SIM card for the local service. Even after I got a temporary local Sim card, I continued to use Skype on my Windows phone to make calls using the 3G data service on the card, because it costs only two cents a minute, less than 1/20 of the cost for international calls made on that type of SIM card.  This is potentially a huge differentiator for Windows phones. I hope Microsoft can make the point clear for users.  Because they own Skype, they could make it exclusive. If doing that helps to make Windows Phone a success, I am all for it, because I'd hate to see Windows Phone fail. I need something different from iPhone or Android for my lifestyle.But the WP7.5 OS is not fully cooked yet even with the latest Mango update. The depth of customization is just not there.Just to name a few:(1) You can't turn off that stupid screen auto-rotation. You simply can't so far. No user settings has that. No app that does that. Even unlocked phone can't do that. Forgive me to call auto-rotation feature stupid. But it is one of those tech-things that made no sense on a mobile phone, precisely because a mobile phone is just so, mobile. The problem is that these device designers fail to understand that the proper (or desired) orientation of the screen simply cannot be determined by an orientation sensor. It is not a mechanical problem. It is a human problem. Even if they were so sure that they could decide what the user desires based on a sensor reading, they still fail to understand that it is the relative positions of both the phone and the user's body posture that are more relevant, not the position of the phone itself. A mobile phone can be in many different positions in relation to the user's body position, and a single sensor is not capable to determine such relative positions. The current sensor can only detect the phone's orientation itself, not its relative position to the user's body posture.  In practice, the autorotation causes much more annoyance than any utility. It is OK if they just want to use it as a gimmick to attract shallow feature counters, but it is not OK to have it permanently implemented and cannot be turned off. It's simply stupid.Actually, the reason why I make this auto-rotation issue such a big deal is just to make a point, NOT because the thing itself is so life-threatening. I can live with the annoyance. But the failure or overlook of such issues is very telling of the level of ergonomics the maker of this phone understands or is willing to make an effort to.(2) You can't edit the individual fields of in a contact profile. And the given choices such as "mobile", "home", "home 2" are simply too rigid to satisfy even quite ordinary needs.(3) Copy and paste is still an issue. Although works quite well within the same application, it does not work very reliably  across applications. It works across some applications but not others.Those are just several among many small details. Microsoft has done the hard part of building a very promising mobile OS, why is it so difficult for them to do these very basic and simple things right? It is obviously not an engineering issue.  It is a product management issue. It is a company culture issue. Microsoft's level of paying attention to details can't match that of iOS; while its level of geekness can't match of that of Android. So at the end it loses on both sides. Perhaps WP really is meant for low-level entry users. But with Dell Venue Pro, we are talking about a business mobile phone here.MIXED BAG WITH THE HARDWAREThe hardware of Dell Venue Pro is a mixed bag as well. In addition to the power management issue which is downright terrible, this phone is a little bit too bulky, particularly too thick. The thickness is partly a result of including a hard button keyboard, which I thought would be almost a necessity for someone like me, but turned out to be almost superfluous, ironically because the soft keyboard is extremely good and even has some significant advantages over the hard keyboard due to its programed flexibility and extensions. (I personally think the soft keyboard of Venue Pro is even better than that of iPhone 4, which itself is excellent.)There are other details which Dell failed to pay attention to. For example, the hard keyboard keys are illuminated, which is good. But the illumination does not turn on at the desired time. It does sometimes, but usually off when you actually needed. Have no idea what they were thinking. Clearly, neither Microsoft nor Dell is Apple when it comes to paying attention to user experience details.Otherwise, the hardware is fine. The screen is beautiful. The iPhone 4's retina screen may sound better in the specification, but in practice you really don't see any difference. Both are extremely good, and the Dell screen is actually better under the sunlight. The build quality is very high. Although it uses a chipset and processor from three years ago, the phone is not slow in any measure. There simply isn't a problem in this aspect of all. I haven't compared it with iPhone 4S, but the Venue Pro is actually faster than iPhone 4, even though the latter uses a more powerful processor. This is a testament to the efficiency of Microsoft Phone OS.In summary, I don't recommend this phone. If one is interested in mobile productivity, Microsoft phone is the platform to go, but this is not it. One should wait until Microsoft phone 8.0 (Apollo) is put on a top of line Nokia Lumia.


Bearded

Looks great in my car I ran around the block 4 times telling with excitement when I got this car dock station and my mom thought I was crazy!! It's definitely a 5 star product


More than I expected!

I purchased this cradle for my car.  Originally it was going to be used in portrait position, but is perfect for car use in the landscape position (as it is made for either position).The 3.5mm audio out and micro-usb port on the back were perfect for me as I port the audio to my car stereo and the micro-usb runs to my USB car charger.When you slide the phone in, it automatically switches to Multimedia mode.  This is a customizable home screen featuring the time, date and weather.  Along the bottom are editable icon shortcuts for access to the features you want to use in this mode.  It's perfect for me in my car as I use XiiaLive app to listen to ShoutCast internet radio in my car over 3G and 4G.  It's also perfect for GPS navigation.This is a 'true' multimedia cradle as connecting it to my PC also allows me to sync my phone and PC and transfer data to and from SD cards (unlike another third party 'so-called multimedia' cradle I purchased and reviewed).The design and quality of this cradle is very, very nice.  It has that soft, rubbery coating.Definitely a great addition to an awesome phone!


Really Nice Phone

Nice big screen, very nice loud and clear audio quality, decent battery life ( remember like all smartphones they suck batteries relatively quickly ). This is just a really solid and nice phone and Virgin Mobile just really rocks.I bought an extra battery and 2 HTC desk docks. One dock for home and one for my desk at work.Build quality is very good and solid. I got the plum ( purple ) colored version which looks really cool.WiMax 4-G works great in areas with coverage. The dedicated shutter button is great. The 3-D photos look really cool and are just really amazing. Not many phones can do the 3-D photos.The phone is fast and apps launch quickly with little delay. Switch between screens is flawless. Ice Cream Sandwich version of Android works perfect on this phone.The VM service is an excellent value and works great with no contracts or surprises. Activation went flawlessly on the VM Website. You can pretty much do everything on there yourself so you don't need to contact real people and wait and all that.I highly recommend VM and this phone. You will really love it. A great combination of phone and provider.


otter box for Iphone

It works well. I did snap the clip off the belt hook when I sat down and had the clip hit the arm of the chair, not necessarily a product defect. I have never lost the phone out of the holster. It is a bit bulky but definitely protects a $200 phone investment(having destroyed one ipone without it).I am in the construction industry and will continue using the product. I also used one on a Blackberry. It outlasted the phone.OtterBox Defender Case for iPhone 3G, 3GS (Yellow/Black)


Super Sleek and Affordable. Love it!!

This is my first smart phone. At first I wasn't sure if I would get used to the fact that it has a touchscreen key board but it's not a problem at all. I love to use it. Its super sleek and very affordable. Its so fun to mess around with. The only problem would be that it doesn't have as much memory as I would like. But other than that, it is overall a great, stylish, and entertaining phone.


Mediocre

The orange plastic shell part doesn't properly "snap" onto the rubber part like should be expected. The quality of the case was not conducive to the price paid. I ended up buying a much cheaper case that felt better constructed than this one.


Cheap material

I bolted this to the steering stem and the cheap plastic broke. It could not be tightened down to my bike.


Needs LED notification

I loved this charger for the month that it worked. i was able to fast charge my note 3 or my wifes iphone 5. Two weeks ago though the charger stopped working but i just realized today. In the past my wife had left her phone plugged in while she worked out and when she got to the car she realized it wasnt charged. we assumed it was the lightning cable but today i tried the charger in all three ports of my car with different devices and usb cables to find out that the charger was at fault.  I will be buying another charger but i would have still been in the return window if i realized the charger was broken when my wife first made complaints to me about it not working.  Had there been an LED light i would have known that he charger circuit was bad. i trust anker parts and hope i just got a bad unit.


Works great with unrooted Nexus 7 and added software

Bought this for my unrooted Nexus 7 to connect a usb drive. I installed Nexus Media Importer, plugged in and drive was instantly recognized. Very easy


Just as advertised

Just got this in and it arrived as indicated. This case is VERY large. It is advertised though to fit the Galaxy S3 WITH the otterbox case. I will say that with the Otterbox Commuter series case, the Galaxy S3 fits perfectly. It slides in and out easily and has just enough room/flex to stick your thumb/forefinger in to grab the phone. The flap and belt clip look like they need a little breaking in, but came functioning properly. Definitely would recommend this to Galaxy S3 with case (or extended battery) users.


Good idea, bad execution

I was very excited to get this but I'm very unhappy with it.  The noise cancellation does work as advertised, but it requires that the voice sensor at the front end is touching your face.  The problem is that it's hard to position this thing so the sensor touches your face, and when it doesn't, it switches to noise-canceling mode, meaning that the other person can barely hear you (if at all).  But what's worse, the hang-up switch is hidden inside the unit, so when you go to push it more snugly in your ear you hang up on the caller.What kind of idiot designs something where the mechanism to hang up the call is in exactly the place where you have to push in order to put the thing in your ear?????The stupid design cancels out the stars in my rating just as well as the headset cancels noise.


i love it

I bought this because i was going to disney world with my family and i knew i would be taking alot of pictures with my galaxy s 3. To bad it came in the mail too late and i wasnt able to bring it. I found it waiting for me when I got back home. It works great tho, I have a los vegas trip coming up soon and it will will be going with me. I even use it around the house sometimes. It has all the connectors you need with it, a mini usb, and ipod connecter also. Great prouduct.....buy it...


Well worth the investment

This product has been used on an iPhone 4, 4s and 5.  The battery itself is small and fits on your pocket.  The battery charger worked for the iPhone 4 (was at 13% before the charge and after 30 minutes was at 44%), the 4s (was at 52% and back at 88% in under 30 minutes) and the 5 (was at 44% and back at 100 in under an hour).I was unsure how to charge the unit the first time, but a micro usb adapter cable to charge the unit is included along with a USB Mini, a 30 pin for the iOS devices and another adapter that we don't use (I just removed it from the bag).Users of the iPhone 5 need to have either an adapter for the 30 Pin to Lightning or carry the lightning cable.  The recharge of the battery took about 2 hours.  On other multiple times where this has been used we just charged the battery overnight.Considering how batteries can drain based upon usage or location, being able to easily throw this charger this into a vehicle, pocket, or backpack we shouldn't run out of juice anytime soon.


Very good overall iphone 5 case/charger

I believe this is one of the only chargers of its kind (case-battery for iPhone)  that has a lightning bolt charger externally as well as what actually connects to the phone internally of the case (of course) instead as others who make you charge the case with a micro USB charger. Finally someone figured out a way to have the charger for the phone be the same for the case! What a concept?! Nice snug fit to iPhone 5, seems to have a more powerful battery than mophie etc (2200) and power on/off is simple, just press it quickly once instead of my prior ones for iPhone 4 having to hold the power down for a while. Not a lot of front protection but not a huge concern unless this is going to be your main case I guess. I'm not certain if the camera hole is on the smaller side and will affect any issues, one quick test showed it to be ok. It just appears to be a small opening.  Built in kickstand seems kinda cool too. Over time I can tell more but first impressions very happy and reasonably priced.***UpdateWell I spoke too fast. In less than 24 hours and charging it most of day 1 it either doesn't hold a charge or doesnt work. The lights stay lit or not at all and if begins to charge stops in 15 minutes or so. No real way to tell if its charged.  I have requested an exchange. Hope mine is just defective.****Update, the second unit the seller sent me worked fine, the first was for sure defective, but in the end i found the mophie and maxboost a better solution for me,  so i've up the review to 4 stars.


it bad qwality

I use for 30 minutes in the gym , when it fold down fron the chair , when i see it is broke


Perfect!!!!

Great case! Very sleek and well designed. This case exceeded my expectations by far! It consists of two pieces, a large and small piece which attach together, you must first slide your gs4 into larger piece which will be sitting on a suede surface, so your phone is protected against any scratches, you then will slide smaller piece to bottom portion of phone and that's it! Highly recommended to all gs4 owners! You won't be disappointed, money well spent!


Not what I expected

I ordered this from Amazon and did not realize how bulky and rugged looking it really is.  The first week I had it, my friends and I went on a float trip down the river.  No rapids and plenty of us on big floats, so there was really no reason for the device to get wet or submerged.  However, some friends decided to dj and put an i-pod in on top of my i-phone, and at end of the float trip I was handed the EcoGEAR wet and open, with a dead i-phone.  So this cost me $300 to buy a new phone.  I realize of course it is not designed to hold 2 devices at a time, however, some people may not realize that because it is so large.The one little speaker sounds like it is about to burst when at or near the max volume and it really does not get loud enough to hear at the lower settings if you are on a boat, the beach, or wherever.  You have to sit almost on top of it to really enjoy the music.  We have thought about returning it.


Purchased as a Christmas present

Although the case does glow in the dark, it appears flimsy and I expect that it will not last long.  Also it looks totally different in the picture.  I was disappointed upon receiving it.


have not been able to use cable

I'm sorry I have to say, so far this thing has been useless.  The small plug won't plug into my Kindle Fire.  I can't see anything wrong with it, but it won't, and I'm afraid I'll damage something if I force it.  Is there some trick to this?


Get it, NOW!!!!!!!

I have had many noise cancelling headphones. These are the absolute BEST that I have ever worked with.  With 3 car windows open, driving +55 MHP, wind whipping through my car, and people on the othe end of the call did not hear the wind noise whatsoever.Do yourself a favor, get them while you can!!!


Disappointing, no plug in port

I learned after I ordered the stand that it does not come with the 'Smart Cable' which limits the 'desktop' functionality.  My bad!Read those reviews!!What I did not realize is that there is no 'drop-in' port on the charger.  You have to plug the phone in every time you use the stand.  Really poor design.I just upgraded from the original Droid to the Razr M.  The phone and 4G service is a great step forward and the standis a great step backward.  The design completely undermines the convenient functionality of a desk stand where youcould easily drop  the phone into the desk charger when you arrived home.As another review stated, all you're getting is a fancy piece of plastic.  I have never written a bad review before and I mightreturn it


Jawbone icon earloop earhook replacement

The loop is so weak. I lost it again! It keeps popping off and I'm not about to spend $4+ on this thing. I don't like using the hookless insert in my ear, it doesn't seem to work well for me but it is better than losing this everytime I put it in my briefcase or lay the Jawbone down it pops off of the device. Annoying!!


One of Verizon/LG's worst mistakes

My wife stuck with her previous phone - the LG Dare - as long as she could because she really liked it.  After 4+ years of use, it finally gave up, so she needed an upgrade and wanted another touchscreen phone.  We had no need for a data plan, so we looked at Verizon's basic phone lineup.  Unfortunately, the Cosmos Touch was the only touchscreen basic phone Verizon offered - and it is horrible.First, the good.  The phone is small enough not to be a bother in a pocket.  The screen, while small, works well enough.  Some complain about inaccuracy of the touchscreen, but after calibrating it, we've had no problems with that.  The slide-out keyboard slides smoothly and feels more solid than some other cheap phone keyboards I've used.  Call quality and reliability seems typical, as does battery life.  Not spectacular, but not poor.Now the bad.  I'll get straight to the point.  Pop-up ads.  Yes, on a basic phone.  At random times.  And you can do NOTHING about it.  Sleeping at 3 a.m.?  You must be interested in VZ Navigator more than your nightly rest.  Typing a text message?  Some Media Center apps must be for you... you didn't *really* need to finish that text anyway.  Apparently this is due to an application called "Daily Scoop."  This application pops up VOICE advertisements for various paid service features at random times, and there is nothing you can do about it.  We have even applied a data block to the phone, and it still pops up these ads.  You can imagine how happy we are to be awakened in the middle of the night to learn more about paid phone data services.  You cannot uninstall, remove, or block Daily Scoop.Research online shows that this is a common problem for seemingly every owner of this phone.  It is absolutely unacceptable, and what I would consider even fraudulent.  That flaw alone makes this phone absolutely not worth owning, although it's not the only problem.  Lack of a video camera - a widely standard feature in all phones these days - is also a negative.While the ridiculous lack of basic phone options is a problem with Verizon, this phone is absolutely not worth getting - period.  My suggestion would be to look online for a phone you like that is compatible with Verizon's network, and buy that.  Verizon should be offering free replacements to anyone who was suckered into buying this piece of trash.


love it

I love this case!! It's so easy to throw  on my wrist and be gone :) since the phone is so big I feel better having the strap. One thing I wish it had was a stronger magnet. If I try and put a few dollars in the pocket it won't stay shut. Other than that, it's great!


Too many quality issues!

Drops calls too frequently and my wife and I both had to return ours (within 9 months of purchase) for warranty exchange for having stuck buttons on the keypad.


Super Cute!

this case was just what I was looking for. The case I had before would "stick" coming in and out of my pocket- this slides right in. And it is cute and looks perfect with the white iphone.


The phone is not unlocked

I want an unlocked phone ...This blackberry is nice, but not used to communicate with the phone line from Venezuela..thank you


Goodbye iPhone hello Android

ProsInexpensive(if you break it your not out $400.00 plus), clear screen, great Android experience, has all the bells and whistles, light weight, sounds good, pics good, doesn't feel cheap, fast enough for me on the web (If I want a better web experience i'll use my Nexus 7 and 10),Cons:NoneI bailed on iPhone and I am happy I did…this phone is much better an 1/8 the cost.  Apple is committing suicide!


Unable to dock

Great case, phone fits in like a glove.  The only drawback to this case is that the bottom doesn't have a low enough profile, and I can't dock it in my logitech  without taking it out of the case.  (this is a big deal for me)  If you aren't worried about docking it then by all means get one.  This phone is not that easy to get out of the case, so I had to buy another brand.


Very effective and convenient

I was not sure if this would be a good buy because it didn't cost much. The price is insanely cheap. This product is not cheap at all. I love it. The stand feature actually works. I have credit cards and money in the wallet and the phone still stays up. I think it would be a little awkward to talk on the phone while holding the wallet. Everything fits snugly in the wallet but I would feel uncomfortable. I use a Bluetooth so I wouldn't have to worry about something falling out. I have only had this product for a day. I am going to buy another one. I got the navy and brown. I would highly recommend this product. The case is sturdy and the phone fits securely inside of the case. The holes almost line up perfectly (99.5%). This doesn't affect the phone's functionality. Go ahead and just buy this product!Edit: The buttons fit just fine. A piece of plastic was keeping my buttons from lining up 100%. Also, I noticed that the magnetic flap works both ways so that the flap doesn't get in the way when the case is opened. On another note, I dropped my phone and the case protected it. I was surprised that the phone didn't pop out because it fell pretty hard. I also noticed 4 little holes or openings on the front of the cover to let the sound out. I really love this case.


Nokia back in the game ...

It was always going to take a lot to lure me away from my long-term relationship with iOS devices (from 3 to 3GS to 4), but this phone is it. I took delivery on Friday 6th April (thanks to AT&T's slightly early shipping), and very hesitantly powered off my iPhone for the last time to make the switch. I am 4 days into using the phone and absolutely love it. I know there will be people wondering about the switch from an iPhone 4 - the stand-out aspects are speed (both performance and connectivity with 4G LTE), the camera (it's as good as a quality compact), the interface (I love the live tiles in WP7), integrated Outlook and Office (OneNote being particularly handy) and the look and feel (Nokia *know* hardware). Another surprising aspect were the number and availability of applications - I found many of my old favorites were already available, and *definitely* looked and feel better through the WP7 interface. This was always the reason I held back from moving to another platform, but hasn't been an issue at all. Having had experience with a number of other devices, I just don't know why anyone would consider an alternative - particularly with incredibly low handset cost (on contract of course). This phone definitely looks like a game-changer, and Nokia stepping up to the plate with a home run. Fantastic!
