I have this phone, ive had it since last summer, about 2 months ago i dropped it, first time its ever been dropped and the speakers were busted so if you are planning on getting it, dont drop it. its a good phone btw but it takes a while to figure it out
i hate this phone i recomend people not to get it after two month tht ihad it it strtd glitchin and the touch screen stopped workin get the droid it is so much better
What an atrocious phone. It is 5 years, at least, behind its time. I was given this phone as a company phone by a horrible company. The company giving this phone to it's employees was solidified among other things that this is a horrible company. I have an iPhone for my personal phone and there is NO COMPARING THE TWO. I can't believe a cellphone company would release this phone...maybe in 2004...not 2011. Horrible
@greenstar628 its $5 bucks more than the feature phone data plan. this phone requires $15 bucks a month for 150 MB of data or 29.99 a month for unlimited
@thujan7 if ur gonna spend 150 on this phone u should go with the droid off verizon its on 99 dollars or if u dont want that go with a blackberry or just go with the ally
@thujan7 lol thats the same 3 i'm trying to decide between. Been reading reviews on these 3 all evening and still can't decide which one i want. The Fathom, from what i have been reading, seems to be more of a buisness phone. My brother in law just got the Ally and he loves it, but not sure if its right for me. The Reality seems to be the simplest of all 3. Why does this decision have to be so difficult lol.
@mel23jordan depends how much money ur willing to spend on a phone! i have the LG chocolate touch (great phone as i am a high school student) but i realize verizon dosent carry it anymore...for a middle school student the new Pantech crux is worth a look! or if ur a spoiled kid...htc incredible :p
@kmazin36 lol no he's not rich. well idk he could be. but he doesnt have alot of phones. the phone companies send him phones just for him & all the other people at phonedog use to do reviews like this & then they have to send them back. they dont get to keep them lmao
@moto815 A data plan of 29.99 or higher is required upon activation of said device. In fact all smartphones come with some type of separate charge on all carriers except Sprint
lol nice fail noah, youre the second i reviewer of this phone to drop it, i dont blame you, the feel of the phone is very slippery, you have to have a good grip on it if you want it stay especially when popping out the keyboard
if they would've made the send and end keys search and back keys, they could've had themselves a WP7 phone that people would buy so they could be one of the first to upgrade..
Seems like LG uses the same shell on all their phones,come on LG make something I want to buy,I have the LG dare and it looks similar as in looks,we need a bigger screen on your phones,........
Phone's not ugly. It's almost pointless though. Unless this phone is upgradable to Windows Phone 7, I don't see myself buying this phone in the future.
Seems like I remember seeing that one of the requirements of phones that will use the new windows 7/zune operating system was that thwe phone would be required to have three hardware buttons and low and behold there are three prominent buttons on the front could this be the first of the windows mobile devices that might be upgradeable?
@TheBigShel I don't think they will upgrade this one because the three required buttons are Start, Back, and Search. This phone has Call, Start, and End Call
@WindowsReview That's right I should have known that! Opps. Seems like a good start as a windows phone but seems to be lacking in Ram what's the deal with that? Oh well nice try.
@bdonshoots u mean the father of all droids and that would be the MotoDroid. your fone would not be out if it wasent for its father. Plus i happen to own a MotoDroid
@FJCM91 t-mobile g1 also htc dream? would that be like the grandfather of all android phones? so technically the g1/dream would be the reason why all android phones are here now
@season660 thats true but it only goes for droid phones. it all started with the motodroid then the droid eris and now the droid incredible. G1 is like the great grandfather.
@xFreakAttackx99 You should stop guessing. I could quite easily design a much better phone that that. It's a shame that I'm not an international company with loads of chinese slave houses to make it. So I wouldn't be able to produce it, if you need that explaining.
It appears that 17 people agree with me, and -1 people agree with you. What a shame.
@nformby If you are that capable of making such a good phone, why aren't you recruited by an international company that could support you to make one huh?
why, why, why, WHY do phone manufacturers still put resistive touchscreens into phones? No multitouch, makes typing on the screen harder, and the only benefit that I can think of is the use of a stylus. *Sigh*
Phone looks solid with hardware but the OS...I forgot about WM 6.5 with all the recent WM 7, Android, and Iphone OS news haha. Great Vid Noah Loved that #fail sound effects : D oh yeeaaa First!
