Customer Reviews

Fun little phone - in pink, too! UPDATE: Terrible Reception, Poor Battery Life
UPDATE: So, I loved this little phone when I got it, thus my original roaring review. However, after using it for several months, I absolutely hate it and can't wait to upgrade to something else. While I still like the "lighting" feature and that it's pink, I pretty much hate everything else about it. Reception? Forget it. I drop calls constantly and can't even make or receive calls in my office. And, I know that's not an ATT problem, since I also have a bberry from ATT that gets GREAT reception in my office. While the phone is really cute, it's just not functional for everyday use, unless you like having to redial and redial and redial to try and get through or to call back the person you just dropped. And, sometimes it just refuses to charge despite the fact that it's plugged in. And, it often takes all night to charge despite not having used it much on a particular day. I revise my initial assessment and give it 2 stars.

ORIGINAL REVIEW: I'm writing this review, since there seems to be no others available on the web. This phone, as of now, is not available in AT&T stores but only online, which is how I purchased it - sight unseen. I have the pink one. It was the only other pink phone available via AT&T that was not a Razr (which is what I had prior and absolutely HATED). This phone is likely meant for kids - it has funky ringtones, crazy graphics, and lights up like crazy when the phone rings (you can turn this function off). The front display lights up (with the time or caller ID) when the phone rings or when you push the volume buttons on the side of the phone. There are a few little quirks that I'm trying to get used to (volume buttons don't adjust the volume of the ring when not on a call like my Razr did) but, overall, I'm quite satisfied with the phone. It has a camera, which I've not yet used and links up easily to my Jawbone headset. It's pretty durable (won't fall apart when you drop it like the Razr did), works well, turns on quickly, and I get lots of comments on how cute it is. And, I think the lighting effects are fantastic despite the fact that it's probably designed for high school girls. One thing to note is that it is thicker than the razr, so it doesn't slip into your pocket as well, although it is smaller than the Razr in every other direction. I'd definitely recommend this phone if you want something a little out of the ordinary, or, in the case of the pink one, just plain sassy. :)

Good phone overall
This is a good little phone. The buttons are easy to use, it's sturdy, and the display is clear. I love the way it lights up when it rings! I'm giving it four stars because the camera is mediocre and the light-up icons on the outside of the phone are difficult to see outside in the daytime (which makes the caller ID function useless unless it's dark or you're inside). But if you want a simple phone that's just a phone, and not 10 gadgets in 1, then this is a good one.

....Lacking in the areas that count
Ok... yes... it lights up thats pretty cool, but things that really matter such as being able to hear and be heard as well as good reception are things that this phone is sorely lacking in! The camera too could use some work... though i found if you take the picture sideways and rotate it you end up with a better pic (if you want to go to that trouble each time) Also if you get it as a prepaid phone for AT&T and txt alot you will be disappointed b/c the little image on the front won't light up when you get txts so you end up having to keep opening it up to see if you have a msg. I'm returning mine b/c it's been a pain! But if you're just looking for a cute useless phone... go w/ the pink one!
