Mediocre
The plasma screen cracked within one month of purchase. The phone never fell nor did I treat it roughly. It just cracked in my pocket.
Utter Krap
I'm really not that selective about cell phones.I don't want a camera, I don't care what it looks like, I don't need no fancy bluetooth garbage.I just want a phone that will call people, and I really like voice dialing, which was one of the reasons I selected this phone.That was where my disappointment began.
This thing is built like a tank!!!
First of all I agree that the speakerphone is not the best but I'm here to tell you that this thing is built like a tank.I have dropped this phone no less than 50 times; on sidewalks, subway, running, etc., and it just keeps going and going.Yes, it's a no frills phone but I challenge you to find a tougher phone. ...

Very Bad Workmanship
The quality of this phone is a joke. The first problem was the hinge of the flip up part.It started having problems almost immediately with with the hinge sticking and cracking from regular use. In less than a year in had shorted out completely.The only good things about it a couple of loud ringers.DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY
Great Basic Phone
If you're not a techy person, don't talk a lot and looking for a simple phone, this is a good one. I've had this phone for over a year with T-mobile. I never had any problems with my lcd screen that the other reviewers have experienced.
Buy some thing else
The worst cell phone I have ever owned. PLEASE PLEASE dont waste your money on this paper weight. The screen gave problem on day 3, ever since then there has been some kind of problem or the other with this phone. We have two as part of a family plan and both have the exact same problem with the display screen. I hope Motorola people are reading this. Never again will I buy ANYTHING motorola. They just lost a valuable customer. ... Read more

Good Phone
This is a good phone and it does a lot of things I just wished it was smaller and that the sound on the MP3 player was louder when using headphones

Best Phone I've Ever had (I've had 5)
I'm 13 years old, and I recently purchased this phone to replace my Motorola V276 prepaid cell phone (Had that for like a month, had to get a new one because they charge you a dollar a day even when you dont make calls. So it was way too expensive, it cost $45 in prepaid cards after only a month) Anyway, this phone is excellent.
Could be better.
I needed a cell phone, and I didn't want to be attached to contracts so I knew I was going to have prepaid. Virgin Mobile seemed the best for Pre-Paid (believe me, I reserched like every phone company). This phone is decent for camera/video/mp3. The phone, itself, is a slider phone. I thought I'd try a slider after I had a bar and a flip phone. If you do buy this phone, BUY A COVER! Since there's nothing to cover your main screen, it gets scratched easily. It looks terrible in the light. The functions of the phone are pretty much basic. Virgin Mobile's network is great too. (And if you look at other phone reviews, the phone itself doesn't have to do with the bars you get) The only thing I don't like is how virgin Mobile makes the icons.

Samsung VI660 is defective
Stay away from the Samsung VI660 phone. It definitely has a defect in the hinge mechanism. I have had TWO of them - both of which quickly cracked in the same location - between the hinge and an indicator light.

Run away from this phone & Nextel
I had 3 different i836's and all had the same problems.The phone looks great but it ends there.The battery life is short & the signal sucks - I went from an i205 that I had for 5 years - to the 836 which cut off 36% of my calls (according to Nextel's own records) - this phone is the worst phone I ever used - it goes from full signal (5 bars) to no service all day long - just back and forth. I use about 6000 minutes a month and I need a dependable phone and service provider.I wasted hours and hours arguing with Nextel and got nowhere. After 2 months of torture I cancelled my service with Sprint / Nextelthey charged me $200 temination fee and refused to allow me to return the $100 i836.I went into Verizon, got a Kyocera phone and it works great. I'm paying more for my monthly service, but it just works - with no hassles.The i836 is now a $300 paperweight. I would rather stick needles in my eyes then deal with Sprint / Nextel again. What a way to treat a 9 year loyal customer Nextel.Way to go.......

I want my money back
For looks it is a nice phone, for everyday use... Dont waste your money. Not good signal, terrible sound on the speaker and very delicate to most regular use. I used for a long time the i90c... I miss it even though it was a bigger phone. I would not recomend it.

Nice Looking Piece Of Junk!
This phone is awful, I upgraded because my i80 (?) an old nextel brick was just too big and it snapped in half. this phone is the smalles they make right now. It has horrible battery l;ife, I am on my second battery because it will just cut out without warning when I am on the phone and have barely used it after a full charge. the signal is terrible, I don't have reception in places that I did with my older phone. the case scratches and chips easily and it just doesn't work!! If I paid for the phone I would have given it up long ago, but I use it for work heavily, dc and phone - when the battery is charged it does work fine. Another annoying thing is the volume buttons on the outside of the phone are easily pressed if the phone is in your pocket and will take itself off of vibrate without you knowing.

Why can't I rate it lower?
I've had this phone for over a years.Well not this phone specifically, this model.My first one had some operational issues (lost settings, camera issues, buttons not responding, no over-the-air update working) so Sprint said to take into the store for evaluation and update.They couldn't even get it sync up with their systems.So they ordered me a refurb.
Worst cell phone I have ever owned
Nothing wrong with mine specifically i.e. it is not in need of repair. Neat design. Camera is useless. Has MUCH MUCH worse reception than OLDER Sprint phones in same areas. I drop calls constantly. Hard to believe older phones worked better. Battery life is horrific, worse I have ever had across all cell phones I have owned. Gives about 30 seconds battery warning before shutting down. I compare this to same service provider, same locations, older Sprint phones and it is absolutely terrible. Sub-par is an understatement. You'd be better off buying a refurb Sanyo. At least it will perform basic functions properly.

Buyer Beware
I got this phone with my new contract with Sprint. I wasn't expecting it to be perfect, especially considering my experience with cellular phones in the past, they're hardly indestructible and all of them have their flaws. However, it would power off randomly, which I accepted as just a minor inconvenience.

Not horrible, but I wouldn't recommend it!
I have had this phone for about 9 months.I never really had any problems with the phone such as reception or battery life.Actually, I was sort of surprised at how long I could go without charging.Speakerphone always sounded clear on my end, but occasionally the other person was unable to hear me clearly.The camera is fairly easy to use.My problems with the phone have just recently begun.The first thing to happen was that the END button stopped working completely and I could not end calls, a big problem when you weren't planning to leave a voicemail!The only other option was to close the phone to end calls.Shortly after that, the phone couldn't recognize it was closed.It thought it was always OPEN!I couldn't see who was calling from the external screen and at times, the phone would answer itself.More recently, my TALK button has been shorting out, as well as the OK button.Sprint is willing to offer a replacement phone for $35 or a new keypad for about the same.I am stuck with this phone until I'm eligible for a free phone or I can switch carriers altogether.Choose wisely!

Will not Charge!
Had this phone a little over a year, same problem as everyone else. Won't charge. Shows charged, but then make one call and it is dead.

Horrible sound quality.Stay away!
I have had this phone for almost a year now, and although the signal reception is great, the sound quality on this phone is HORRIBLE!I have to ask the person calling me to repeat themselves at least once every call because the voice quality is so muddy.My wife has a different (and cheaper) phone and it sounds MUCH better.The only reason I have put up with it this long is I do not use my phone very often.I would not recommend this phone to anyone.This phone sounds worse than any other phone I have owned.Stay away from this phone!!! ...

The Worst Phone I Ever Had
I've been through quite a few phones in the past couple years (Nokia, LG, Motorola, and now this Samsung) and I have got to say that this is by far the worst of the bunch. This phone fails at almost everything that makes a cellphone good. The reception is terrible (A two minute conversation takes 10 minutes because you and the person on the other end always need to repeat yourselves), It does not keep your contacts organized very well (multiple entries for the same person if they have more than one number...), a ludicrous "Push to talk" feature that is entirely worthless...even the alarm clock is needlessly complicated.
I hate this phone!!
I bought 2 of these phones in April because of the Push to Talk feature.

I was a STi user and dropped them like a Rock!
There was a time when STi was one of the best Pay as u go services until they added their every day fees. There is no way to look at your account usage which should be added now that they charge a fee. When you have to roam get ready to pull out your credit card cause it's extra in most areas. Do a search for cellguru.net and find out about the better offers available. But not STi. I liked when there was not a everyday fee and put up with the roam where I just would drive where there was no roam. The minutes I paid for went 85% towards there daily fees. The phone was just a regular flip phone nothing special.

Awesome Phone -Great Service!
I recently switched from a contract cellular plan to a prepaid plan because I was tired of paying high bills, outrageous telecom taxes, etc.After I did a lot of research with various prepaid cell phone companies I selected STi Mobile and could not be happier.They have the lowest rates; no hidden fees; and their minutes don't expire.Who could ask for more?

Great Phone, Minute Setbacks
I've had this phone for a couple of months now, and so far, no major complaints.
A mixed bag review
I have been using this phone for the past 6months and have had a mixed review to present.
Excellent Style and Quality
I have had this phone for about a month now and am very familiar with its operation and features. When I first took it out of the box, I was extremely impressed by its looks. The black and silver contrast against one another very well for a beautiful finish. The screen is extremely large and very shiny when the LCD is not lit. It does collect fingerprints easily, but simply wiping the screen on a shirt or something for a few seconds cleans it right up.

This basic phone from Motorola just got better. Like its predecessor, the V60p, it has push-to-talk capabilities, but with the addition of a color main screen and a larger supplementary screen. With a push-to-talk subscription from Verizon Wireless, you can communicate walkie-talkie style with a co-worker or entire teams anywhere in the country. The V65p more than pulls its weight as a cell phone, text messenger, and wireless web client, as well.Read more

Warranty? What warranty?
I had been very happy with my Motorola phone until the battery started losing its charge within a day, even when the phone was turned off. The friendly but incompetent customer support kept me on the phone for an average of 40 minutes for the repeated calls trying to figure out the problem. After the phone had finally been sent to their technical service center, they returned it to me that the phone was irreperable "due to customer abuse." I have done nothing to that phone that could have caused any damage (unless using it to make phone calls counts as "customer abuse"), but got the same comment, without explanation after I had sent the phone in for a second time for reevaluation. It seems that Motorola is just trying to get out of fixing or replacing the phone free of charge under warranty. You'll be fine with a Motorola phone as long as it works. After that, you're on your own.

very solid phone
This is the updated version of the v60p, which I have.I would assume that it is built nearly identically to the v60p.As of today, I've had my v60p for 18 months, and it is still in great shape.The flip mechanism is still very strong, the reception is very good, the speakerphone is very clear, it is quite small yet still pretty ergonomic (fits faces well), and I have dropped it several times and said to myself, "well, it HAS to be broken this time," and it still works.I think this may be due to the fact that the phone's outer, interchangeable coverings are made of metal (stainless steel I guess).In other words, I feel like this thing is bomb-proof.I got it just before camera phones and downloadable ringtones were so popular, so I am dying to get a new one at the end of my two year contract, but I don't regret it because I don't think many other phones would still be functioning after the abuse I've inflicted upon it.This new version has the Get it Now features, so with this phone you're getting a durable handset with all the bells and whistles except a camera.High recommendation if you don't need or want a camera. ...

Affordability Plus!$3/month
If you don't use this phone, it costs $3/month.Normal hours til 9 p.m. it's 12 cents per minute, which is a bit less than half of what most prepaid phones cost.Perfect for my occasional use and for locating family members when I'm in transit and feel that I simply must know where they are and what they are doing.I don't use cell phones much, but if I must have one, I might as well have one that doesn't make me worry about another huge bill.For kids who think they can mangle the budget, forget it cuz when the card is used up -- that's it kiddo.Once they use up the card, the only number they can dial is 911, but that's it.Bonus features: clock is always accurate and it has a great alarm which tells me when to get up to go to work and another to tell me when to go home at the end of the day.At some point, I might not be able to live without this. ...

Get ready for the power of Verizon's exciting V CAST service, which allows you to download or stream full motion video and 3D games, all on your handset.

This is why I love LG!
I've had this phone for about two months and absolutely love it! The camera takes WONDERFULLY clear pics and I also like the ability to take video clips. The mp3 is amazing. The phone is a bit larger than I would like but then again, I'm coming from a LG 3200. But it still fits into the little 5th pocket of my jeans which is where I would put my 3200. The screens are very bright and large. The speaker phone is nice and loud but there seems to be a bit of an echo and you have the keep the phone opened when using it:( The other ONLY thing I don't like about the phone is the 3-4 second delay when taking a picture. Other than that, it's a wonderful phone! I would recommend it to anybody.

Love my LG VX8100!!!
I have the LG VX8100 and I can't find anything wrong with it.I love this phone.I have had it for 8 months.I am still happy with it.I am glad I got it.As for the people complaining about the reception.The only thing I wish it would do is hold more ring tones and use your sounds for ringtones.I would never trade it in for a Motorola.I had one and it didn't work, I had to send my Moto 3 times for the year I had it and still had trouble with it.

WoW
Well a lot of the reviews are long so i'll make mine short and sweet. This phone is great if you already know how to take care of a phone if this is your first phone not so much. The picture and video quality is GREAT!!!! But the ringtones aren't very cool if that is what your looking for. The music cost a lot you can get it cheaper from itunes!

Good solid phone
I have 3 sanyo 3100 phones with sprint. I have silver for me, brown for my son and pink for my daughter.The phones are sold, easy to use and have decent reception.The phones hold up well for the teenagers constant use.We love the phones so far.Service from Sprint is not so good, but the plan and phone are great for families.

AWESOME PHONE!
I have the pink sanyo 3100 and I absolutely love it!!!!I receive great signals, sound quality, and plus it's so cute.I love Sprints monthly plans.It's perfect for me because my husband and his family have Nextel phones, and with Sprint, I have unlimited mobile to mobile with Nextel for $5 a month.I refuse to pay for Nextel's monthly rates like them.The picture quality isn't the greatest, but I don't really use it for that.As far as T-Mobile being a great company like the first girl said, it is NOT a great company.Eveyone I talk to says that T-Mobile is aweful.I used to have T-mobile and they never had towers to give me reception when I traveled!!!!!!So, if you're looking for a cute phone with great sound quality and good reception, with a great company, this is it!!!!!

Sanyo 3100
A couple days after my 22nd birthday my parents and I went to the sprint store to get me a new phone.I had the pink sanyo 3100 and I really didnt like it.The reception was terrible, the battery life was terrible, the camera was the worst (it only takes like ten picuters and then you gotta delete some), the menu was hard to figure out and it was way over priced $150.After two months of use I convinced my parents to change to cingular as all my friends have it and I wanted my calls to be free (mobile to mobile). It took a couple of weeks to convince my mom to change to cingular because she had been with sprint for four years and the customer service was great.She did look into cingular and found out that they had roll over minutes which sprint did not and decided that should would switch to cingular. I was considering t mobile but my friend michelle told me she had it for a year, hated it, switched to cingular and absolutely loves it.My mom is very happy with her black razor and cingular as I am with my magenta razor and cingular and my dad loves his nokia 6102 :) Thank you cingular for making phones that are great looking, are easy to opporate and do not get frequent dropped calls :) ...

Great Basic Phone
The phone is a great basic phone.Light, small with an external display.I have had mine since Dec '05 and it's been fine.
Horrible
Screen cracked in the first month, battery dies quickly and once I have cleared out my messages the phone continues to page me as if I still had a voice message.You are better off with two tin cans with a string tied between them. ... Read more

RUN AWAY - this product defines caveat emptor!
I do not review things, and I have an extremely high level of tolerance for product functioning. Nevertheless, I am so fed up with my palmOne Treo 650 (which I have owned for a year), that I have called Verizon today, complained to Palm, joined a class action, and reactiviated my several year-old flip phone that has water damage. Yes - my water damaged, cheap LG phone functions better than my palm treo.
Get a free unlocked Motorola RAZR v3i instead!
Why settle for less, or commit yourself to a specific cellular provider and service plan, when you can get a complimentary unlocked top of the line Motorola RAZR v3i cell phone that works with any cellular service provider and any SIM card. I got mine free at this web site:ilikethis.info/razrv3i

An excellent "one box" solution for busy executives
My workplace wanted me to get a cell phone so that they could contact me when in transit between meetings. I had been fascinated by the idea of Blackberrys and Treos for quite awhile. One of my coworkers was upgrading to a Blackberry and was willing to let me use his Treo 650.

Worst Phone Ever!!
This is the worst mobile phone I have ever owned and I include my first phone in this statement.The phone doesn't hold a charge, drops calls for no reason, won't charge when plugged in, the list goes on.Everyone I know who has ever had this phone disliked it.Don't buy this phone, you'll regret it.

If you're on the move a lot and need the power of hands-free operation and the convenience of push-to-talk communication, the LG VX4700 is right up your alley. This handset offers speaker-independent voice recognition, which allows any user to dial a number by speaking the name of a contact from a phone book, or by speaking the digits of a phone number. When this voice technology is used with the two-way speaker phone and a prominent speaker that lets you talk when the clamshell is open or closed, the VX4700 allows for true hands-free operation. Plus, with a push-to-talk subscription from Verizon Wireless, you can communicate walkie-talkie style with a co-worker or entire teams anywhere in the country.Read more

Features

• Push to Talk – digital two-way service for one-to-one communication (PTT service required)
• Speaker-Independent Voice Recognition – make calls and access other essential features
• Use voice commands for dialing calls, voice mail, digit dial, service alerts, missed calls, contacts, driving, announce, time and date, phone status
• Driving Mode activates speakerphone and voice commands for safe, hands-free operation
• Polyphonic Ringer and Sound Capability (CMX MIDI format)

I hate this phone
I got this phone in January and it broke IN HALF in May.The ribbon wire that holds the phone together just frayed apart.I wasn't rough with the phone.I didn't drop it on the ground.This phone is just poorly made.From day one it started falling apart.Small pieces and screws fell out and eventually it just split in two.The phone spontaneously goes into "driving mode" which is pointless and announces whoever is calling.The speaker phone button on the side goes on all the time when you don't want it to also.After the phone broke in half, I had it replaced by my insurance.That was in June.Now it is the beginning of August and the speaker button on the side of the phone is permanently lodged into the phone and won't come out.So my phone is constantly on speaker phone and the Verizon Wireless store won't do anything about it.Don't get this phone.
Not as good as it's predecessor
I had my old LG for three years until it died. I upgraded to this one and have been wanting my old one back every since. I'll start with cons since they're easy and then add the pros if I can think of any.
The best phone I've ever owned!
Finally, finally, finally. A phone that is GOOD at what it's supposed to do. First I'll tell you, I'm not impressed by all the ridiculous gadgets they put on phones so they can sell more of them. Cameras, MP3 players and the like. I have a Sony Digital camera and an Ipod. I wouldn't want to use those to call my mom, just as I don't want to use my phone to take lousy pictures.
