Not Bad
I've had this phone now for a year and a half, and I have to say: not bad.Of course, seeing my friends with all the cool bells and whistles, the camera phones, the color screens, makes me kind of jealous.Yet, when I see them struggle to cram their monstrous cell phones into their purses I just smile.You see, my phone is so incredibly slim and tiny I can slip it in my pocket and just forget about it.Sometimes I lose my cell phone, just in my light coats!My friends always complain about having to haul around their purses, but I just smile at them, because with the sleek design of the LG, I never have to carry a purse.All I need when I go out is my cell phone, some lip gloss, and some money which all fit in even the most tiniest of my party skirts.To those of you who love to party and dance into the wee hours, without worrying about keeping track of your phone, you have just met the love of your life.As far as reception goes, like I said, not bad, not good though.I have a hard time hearing my friends on the other line, and there isn't a way to turn up the volume on the hearing piece.Also, the ring tone options are pretty limited, hope you like polyphonic ring tones. ...

Battery Won't Hold Charge
My battery will not hold more than one bar(if lucky) unless I spend half my day plugging and fiddling with wire.Problem onset was at about 13th month.Now i need a new phone but would rather remedy the issue if possible.
I love it
At first this was my dads phone till he got the treo650
The reasons Why Sprint Nextel are the best!

Won't charge period!
I have had this p hone for 9 months, and know someone else who had it for 9 months with this same problem.When plugging in the phone to charge it beeps like its plugging in then 5 minutes later it will beep as if I am un plugging it.Come morning my phone battery hasn't even charged period.So now they are sending me a new phone sinces its still on its warranty.Nonetheless its really annoying!

Not too shabby.
A phone that finally offers a color variety. It's nice to take a vacation from the plain silver phones that everyone has. This is a phone that's compatible with almost any lifestyle. Whether you're a working adult or a playful kid. The Sanyo MM-8200 has everything needed, plus more. It includes a built-in camera with a flash; a large, square LCD that allows easy reading; easy-to-read graphics; and helpful add-ins such as the R-Link walkie-talkie system. Overall, it's a great phone, and well-worth the money.

Sounds Great, Looks Great, Easy to Use
Even a technologically unsavvy person like myself finds it easy to use the dozens of features on this phone.The speaker phone is very convenient; every person who calls can be assigned their own unique musical ringer; and little things like the calculator and the alarm clock can really come in handy.Sprint PCS has by far the clearest reception of any cell phone network.I have never had a problem hearing people even when I have called from the remotest of places in out-of-the-way corners of the country.My wife and I bought the red and green models six months ago, and we have not had a single complaint about the phones or the service.I was a little skeptical at first about spending so much money on a phone, but the clear reception and numerous easy-to-use features make this product well worth it.

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:bestfreeproducts.info/razrv3i

Review about actual phone
Compared to other phones on the market and the price, this phone doesn't offer much in the "extra feature" department.No camera, no MP3 player, etc. The only reason I bought it is it was black, looked sporty, had a color display, and the key pad was well designed/illuminated.If that is what you're looking for, wait, there's more...unfortunately after one year, my LCD screen will NOT turn off and stays illuminated 24/7.As a result, not only does my battery die FAST, but my sub LCD screen (the small one on the outter shell) doesn't turn on.And I can not view time/date/caller id without openning the phone.And of course fixing this costs more than the phone itself.That was on my phone's 1 year anniversary.Another 2 months later, the charger hardware is screwy too!When I plug in the charger, it goes in and out of charging.It's not the charger either, as my husband uses the same charger for his phone (different model) without problems.I however need to charge my phone 2X a day!Ridiculous!I paid $250 for this phone with only a year of problem free use...that just doesn't seem fair to consumers.The response I get is you should've bought insurance!!!!How about you should manufacture better products!Shouldn't these higher ticket items (especially laptops) offer longer warranty periods?

Sprint - terrible customer service
I wd give this one -10 stars!!

Simple, Elegant and Powerful
This is my second motorola phone in last 4 years. i used to have a V60 and then i upgraded to this V600 model. i really liked by v60 and i like V600 even more. the phone is very simple to use. it does have a camera but i rarely use it. the picture quality is alright, but thats doesnt matter to me that much. what really matters to me is the functionality and the call quality. after all thats what the cell phones are for, arent they? the call quality is nice, if you use speaker phone you will like the clarity. the best feature i like about the phone is that you can change the ring style by the press of button on the side without even opening the phone. press the down button once and then press the button underneath the down button to switch from loud to silent to vibrate to vibrate & ring.

Beware- Looks good, but that is about it.....
Have had this model for over a year and I have had to exchange it 3times. Due to my screen disappearing.I called t-mobile and asked if there is a recall on this model, but they say there is not. Also I have noticed that the rescpection decreases after 3months.

price and uif you have any
i am from barbados in the caribbean and i would like to know if you have any motorola V600 phone for sale and what is the price in barbados dollars i had one before but my son lost it and it work very well i had no problem with it so i am looking for one to buy. ... Read more

I MISS THIS PHONE!!!
I had this phone from July '04 to March '06.About a year ago, I had some problems with the software freezing, but after a couple replacements, they weren't an issue.This phone was extremely easy to use, it was comfortable to hold, and it was just the right size.Mine was stolen last month, or I would still have it.It makes me sad that they've discontinued it without offering anything comparable.

Yes, big things do come in small packages.
I got this phone with my plan back in April 2004 when Cingular bought AT&T, but AT&T was still using its services. I later switched to T-mobile the following year with the Motorola V180 because the plans are better.
Very nice little phone
Pros: Super-small form factor (tiny phone), speakerphone, responsive buttons, im, color screen, great battery life
A Great Little Phone Packed With Features Of A Big Boy Cell
I was not prepared for such a small (phone) but it is packed with all the features, except for "voice recognition" that my (Nokia 3595) had.

God-awful phone
I don't need my cell phone to take pictures, play music, access the internet, or do my taxes for me. I just want it to work. I just want to be able to hear the person I'm talking to and function as a phone. That's it. This phone fails even that basic test. Stay away from it. It will turn your hair gray.

STAY AWAY
I would not even give this phone to my 4 year old.My daughter was recently hospitalized out of town, and for convenience sake I had to use my cell phone instead of long distance.I moved around, went outside (under a clear sky) and had absolutly horrible reception.The entire time you are on the phone with someone, you expect them to disappear, because his phone is terrible.Pick something else.

horrible horrible phone
it gets horrible reception except in the most covered area. i live less than a mile from a major shopping center with a tower and i get no reception standing in my front yard. i have to call three or four times before my call goes through because i get "network busy" or "call ended" signals incessantly. ive had it for less than 6 months and the screen is very loose at the hinge. the buttons lose their spring action quickly and several of the buttons backlighting have already begun to fade.

i own dis damn thing
Pros.
A Teen's take on the x427
I received the Samsung x427 complementary for signing up for a two-year agreement with Cingular.It was pretty nice having a color phone, with real sounding ring tones, a sleek design, long battery life, and of course getting it for free.Not a bad way for someone's first phone.For a couple of months I was the "cool kid" for having a phone, not to mention a pretty small one.That only lasted a little bit.As we all know technology evolves real fast, and that left my phone in the dust.Here's my list of the pros and cons of the Samsung x427
do not buy this
Usually I have little or no tower signal.I have many dropped calls and have NEVER had a clear call.It is fuzzy, and many times I can't hear the person on the other end or they can't hear me. I like the phone itself.But I have to say that the reception is more important, otherwise the phone is worthless.Cingular (like a person in another review mentioned) is not willing to upgrade the phone without a 2 year contract and I would have to pay for the upgraded phone.No Thanks.The 1 star is only because I liked the basic features of the phone. ...

Cingular is deceptive!
My review is on Cingular.I bought a phone w/service and was told I could return for full refund and only charged for any air time used.THEY LIE.THE PHONE DID NOT WORK IN MY AREA AND I CANCELLED THE NEXT DAY.THEY ARE CHARGING ME FOR ACTIVATION even though it never worked in my area.If you are uncertain you will keep the phone and service, DON'T BUY from Cingular.Amazon will also do nothing to reimburse.
Warning - 62650 is discriminated by Amazon!
Unfortunately for the people of Jacksonville, IL 62650 can not order Blackberry 7280 Cingular from Amazon.When I check with availability zip code.It says "Sorry! This product is not available for Jacksonville, IL".However, Blackberry 7280 Cingular is working excellent in Jacksonville, IL 62650. Amazon's discrimination toward people of zip code 62650.Anyway, I sought other business to ordered Blackberry 7280 and I loves it.

Cingular Presents False Advertising
I tried to order the 7280 Blackberry(Cingular) 3 times. Twice for myself and once for my wife(I know she has good credit). Each time I was told the order was cancelled for additional credit information. Upon contacting Cingular I was told that a $49 deposit was required and Amazon could not collect the deposit; therefore the order couldn't be completed. From what I can figure out, Cingular has no intention of honoring this offer. So, give it a shot; but as for me(a ex-longtime Cingular customer) I'd look for other options. My new order for the 7280 Blackberry thru another carrier will arrive this week. ... Read more

The Small Phone Choice for Nextel Customers
I'm surprised by all the bad reviews and that is why I am bothering to write one.I have had this phone for 2 years and purchased the same phone for my mother and sister.Since we are on the Nextel plan for business we were somewhat limited and picked this one because of it's size.I will admit it is terrible for text messaging compared to some of the other phones out there.And it's not built to browse the web etc.But we just wanted a phone not a sidekick or a blackberry.I have had no problems with battery life or pieces falling out or overheating.I'm sure the other reviewers aren't lying, and as Nextel stopped making this phone maybe the model was prone to certain problems but as for the three phones I purchased, none of them had problems with parts, reception or anything else.If you want a small phone for Nextel, I think it's the best way to go.

Phone has lots of problems
Have had this phone for a year, the screen to the earpiece fell out.This happened to a co-worker too but Nextel would not fix it without a hefty price.The battery won't keep a charge after a year either.The size and design is good but the problems need to be fixed.

HORRIBLE, PLEASE BELIEVE THE BAD REVIEWS
I don't honestly care if this review is helpful or not, but I must stress out the fact that the bad reviews for this phone are definitely true. Bad battery life, bad reception (or NO reception), awful design, small but not exactly to its advantage (too small of buttons - no I don't have fat hands) So yeah, don't get this phone. ...

small and cute
this phone is a very good phone and easy to use. takes very cool pictures with its 33mm camera

Not great but not bad either
Apart from functioning as the normal cellphone. I liked the software User Interface in this phone. I dont want to compare with any other models, since this is the only phone I have used from Sony. The other phone I had before was Nokia, which has the best user interface (both software and the keypad).
One of the worst phones I've ever had
I bought this phone after using it predecessor the Sony Ericsson T610, and it was a complete let down.Among its problems the phone I had suffered from a circuit chip issue and had to be replaced.The next phone I received suffered from the same issue.Finally the third phone functioned correctly, but still not as well as my original T610.It has a cheap feel to it and the software lags behind user interaction.While providing more memory than the T610, it gets worse battery life and sound quality.The camera on either phone was not very good, but quite frankly you can not expect much from a camera phone.These are my thoughts, only looking to help out. ...

maybe 3.75
ive had this phone for 2 years. yes, that is way too long. it's a good phone. it has great memory but many phones have upgraded. back then, when the phone first came out, i think it may have been one of the first with bluetooth capacity. the pros: while using an Apple laptop and transferring photos by bluetooth from my phone to the laptop, the picture quality was pretty good. Good talk time, standby time. No zoom for the camera but you can zoom in after you take the picutre. a lot of functions... CONS: size, it's bulky and big. it was too big for many of my smaller purses. there is something up with the application. my first phone went out because of some application error problem a little over a year. when this phone breaks, it simply does NOT turn on. you can charge it all you want, but all you will get is the Nokia intro pics and what not and then boom, it's off and WON'T turn back on. So actually, I've had my phone for 2 years, but actually it was my mom's phone for 2 years. my same phone, BROKE. I think it may have something to do with ALL the pictures I took. another PRO, you can store a LOT of pictures. hope this helps.

great phone
ive had this phone for almost a year..it is a superb phone.it has the greatest reception for any phone ive ever had.my other cell phones would never have any bars inside my house, but with this phone i have at least 3 all the time.the charging only takes about an hour or 2 at the most.the pictures kind of suck, and the videos you take are real blurry, but other than that its great.but im getting rid of it because im the type of person that needs a different phone every year, i cant have the same phone for longer than a year, i just dont know, i want another one, planning to get the razr black...

Great phone, small buttons
I bought this phone a year ago and have had no problems whatsoever. I did replace the stock faceplate with an aftermarket faceplate and leaned against something and cracked that faceplate. The realplayer is useless without a stereo headphone jack. The screen is large, but the buttons are very small for fat digits. Bluetooth is great and Nokia quality is unsrpassed. Four stars for small buttons and no stereo headphone jack. ... Read more

Bad battery life
My wife has had this phone for about two years. Loved it at first but soon after she began charging it more and more frequently. Right now she is charging it 2-3 times per day and she doesn't use it often. Her favorite aspect of the phone is its size.

It's Not the Service, It's the Phone
I owned this phone for a whopping 10 days before I got fed up and traded it in for the i860. It's a cute phone -- I loved the bronze color and the lightweight feel -- but for God's sake, if I wanted to take a week to get a text message through, I'd write a letter.
Don't go buy it!
I paid $150 extra plus tax to get a cool looking phone and it was not worth it.I went to the Nextel Support Center near my work to check if there was anything they could do -- nope -- the guy showed me a wall with the discontinued phones and this was the first one displayed.He said that was probably the worst cell phone ever released and everyone is having problems. I bought the service plan and he advised me to call and explain the problems I am having in an attempt to get a new cell phone. Common problems include: call gets dropped, from full bar to no service, and no service in key locations such as my work, my drive to work, and home. BTW, I have other people at work that have nextel service and it works fine so it is definetely my cell phone and not the nextel service.

I had the Samsung A600 for awhile which is absolute doo doo.You can read my review on it and detect my rage at the stupid thing.It finally died on me so I used this Nokia phone I bought in a garage sale for $1.I wonder y she sold it so cheap?...
Worked great for me
Hello, I have this phone and used it until I decided to buy a flip phone. I have had NO problems with the battery or new cases--it has a new fish case on it now and it stays as well as the original one. I have added ring tones, and music so it was all good for me--as a matter of fact I am willing to sell this phone, the home charger and the car charger for a great deal--email me--(...)

PCS Nokia Crap
If you want a phone that never gets any reception, makes you afraid that the entire thing will fall apart, randomly lets you know when you have voicemail, and constantly has you at the Sprint store because the battery has failed yet again, then this is the phone for you.

(Rating: 6 out of 10): It's Good For A While, But After 2 Years...Eh?
I've had this phone since Christmas 2004 and I'd say that it's a good phone. I have this phone by Sprint Phone Service, and have been using that company for about 5 years. Easy to store numbers, text message, internet, you know, the whole nine yards, and that made me happy. What I liked about the phone is that if you took a picture of someone, you can store it in the phone in a way so that if he or she calls, their picture will pop up. Also the battery is good and last longer than usual, which I also like. The camera is pretty decent. I don't expect no high quality mega-pixel camera, but just something to take pictures with, and it works okay. It comes with features like flash, and a way to change the color of your photos.
Wonderful until after 1 year!!
When I first bought this phone I was truely in love with it and its price. It has a great body and wonderful capabilities. I did not like the fact that it didnt have a speakerphone, but i could live with that.

With email and text messaging support, as well as support for Nextel's wireless web services, the i205 is the perfect companion.

You can even add additional software that gives the phone speakerphone, voice dialing, and voice memo capabilities. This value oriented phone is great for people who want basic phone features, the power of walkie-talkie functions, and the convenience of wireless Internet services.Read more

• Use the private speaker button to switch from the external speaker to the earpiece for private conversations or to minimize disruptions in quiet environments
• Assign unique ring tones to contacts for audible notification and caller identification during incoming calls

Value for the price, but some glaring weaknesses too
Since it's often been one of the 1-cent or no cost phones available with Nextel plans, you can hardly beat the price for entry to the world of cell phone ownership.BUT, you may find the annoyances of using the i205 significant.
Pick Nextel and You'll have 1-2 years of pain,misery & nashing of teeth!
Besides having the walkie-talkie which is publically annoying, the customer service is terrible and they should be ashamed of themselves.Pick another service while you can get out alive.I am stuck until Aug 06 . . . God help me!

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. ... Read more

GREAT PHONE
This is a very good phone.And the ringtones are good and loud.the wallpaper they provide for you on the phone are ok,MY mother bought me this phone and it is one of the best phones I have ever had.Andyou dont need a contract,all you have is top up about 20 dollars a month or whatever plan you choose.The only thing i didnt like about the slider was the screen on the outside because it scratches easy,but otherwise i would defintly recommend this phone!!

Best (and coolest) little phone
I've owned this phone for about a year, and it has been the most exceptional piece of technology I have ever owned.First off, let me say this: in the year that I've had this phone, It's been dropped out of high windows onto concrete, has been slept on, kicked, dropped, you name it : and the only scars on it are a few minor scratches!!!The features on this phone are pretty cool- no advanced features like web browsing or downloadable games, but the games on there will keep you busy and the sliding desgin is really neat.Virgin Mobile's service is excellent, as well.I've had phones before this one with Virgin's service (None were as wonderful as the V5 slider) and they always had all of the bars almost everywhere I went, even on a weekend trip to Canada!The pricing on the plans are only for people who rarely use their phones, though.And about this "lookout guy" and his rundown of the prices: the line "do some freshing up on your math skills" makes me laugh every time I see it because he obviously A.) hasn't read the costs in every booklet and every webpage that has virgin mobile on it or B.) (I like to think it's this one) he doesn't know how to do math!I've had the Minute to Minute plan for all of my Virgin mobile phones, and It's quite simple: 25 cents a minute for the first 10 minutes for each day, 10 cents for every minute after the initial 10 minutes every day.I have no idea where this guy pulled the "$1.50 fee" out of his head, but the only thing I can think of is the first 10 minutes costing 25 cents, but this would mean that the so called "fee" would be $2.50.He just simply does not know what he's talking about.Also, Mr.Lookout guy, it only costs money to look at your balance the third time you look each day!Please, the next time you criticize something so harshly, do your research and try owning the product that you're criticizing!There are no hidden fees here, folks- after looking at my balance and knowing exactly how much I ued my phone and how much I should have spent, it's always correct!The bottom line for this phone AND virgin mobile: If you hardly use your cell phone OR if you're a teen, this is a great plan and phone.

From Someone Who Actually Owns One...
I had the Kyocera K7 before, I've reviewed it there and I liked it. But my needs changed. My needs are fairly simple, actually. I don't care whether the screen is color or not. I'm a grownup, and so I don't need all the MTV crap. I didn't buy the phone to be a toy, but to be a PHONE.

Good Phone with Few Features
Pre-pay service plan is best for those who don't use the cell phone much. The K7 phone is fairly durable, but the antenna on mine won't stay in after about a year of use. Now the antenna pops out when I'm fishing for the phone while driving (I know, bad form), and gets lost on the floorboard. Needless to say, I did not connect with that call.
Don't Do It
When it comes time to convert your number over to another phone, Virgin Mobile will make it hard for you. It took me about 7.5 hrs trying to transfer two numbers. You also lose whatever balance you had on the phones.

Try tracfone instead !!!
Tracfone gives better deals in minutes.It is perfect for those with light, in town usage. It only uses one unit per minute, two if you're outside of your area code(roaming), and long distance doesn't cost any extra. The airtime doesn't cost a fortune, and you have no credit checks, or monthly bills. Reception is good because they utilize many different providers instead of just one. They also have a referral program, so you can earn 100 extra minutes for free if your friends and family buy one too(they also get 180 minutes). If you want a referral to get started with 100 free minutes, just e-mail me at amitgames@yahoo.com , I'd be happy to send you the link! ... Read more

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

No frilly teeny bopper features...
I do landscaping and my previous phone was too frail to take out the truck when I was working so I needed a tougher phone. I checked the website of the company I was with (I won't say the name but it rhymes w/ dingular) for such of phone to no avail. If I wanted one I could download the latest video from some nitwit celebrity they had me covered but anything practical was not there. Then I saw and advert for this phone and it has worked great. One review here complains of its size. If you want water resistant and shockproof what do you expect...a razr? I think not. If you want the protection, it is certainly going to be in a bigger package so expect a hardier phone. Again so far, I am very pleased to have a phone I can WORK with and not be in mortal fear of damaging it.

Something That Fell Out Of The 80's
This phone would be great if it was 1980. The size of this beast is huge. Actually it is even bigger than my cordless house phone. It does not come with any type of holster or carrying device. I guess they felt the extra 50 pounds for a holster might be a turn off. The buttons are very hard to push and way to small considering the size of this grandfather clock of a phone and very hard on the fingers. The menus are sub tree devided. To get to a feature, you have to go through a maze and hope you find what you are looking for. It comes with 4 'getting started' manuals but each one tells you nothing other than to check back to page 28 for more details, only to go to page 28 and read that you will learn about this feature on page 70? I would not recommend this peice of crap to anyone. It has a true Fisher Price design but it weighs much more than a child could possibly carry. ... Read more
