Perhaps the name should be MicroCRAP
Pros
cute rings to choose from
Cons
NOT dependable and awkward to use
Recommended it?
No
We signed a 2-year Radiofone contract (I know, I'm a fool!) for
analog service and got this phone for $20 extra rather than take
the REALLY cheap one they offered with the deal - I wanted something
in which the keypad etc. would be protected, so chose this particular model.
I've already had to have it serviced once in the first six months because it would not complete a call without giving me a 'fast busy' signal; the next problem was the "send" button - it would 'send' twice instead of just once, and of course I'd have to keep trying over and over again, trying to hit the button fast enough so it wouldn't hit 'send' twice. (NOT easy, and definitely not a game you want to try to play while driving!) It would really make me angry because I have to try over and over again just to make a call go through - NOT something I would enjoy having to do in an emergency!!
Calls sound really bad more than half the time...voices cut in and out, and sometimes I can't even hear the other party at all. I also have to watch that the battery pack doesn't start sliding off the back of the phone while I'm holding it, or while it's in my purse.
The battery life is probably about 2 hours, I've found, and that's just having it on. If I use it even once for more than 5 minutes or so, I have to recharge it again or there won't be enough power to even make another call later.
I'm trying to find *something* to like....well, I guess it's comfortable to hold, and you get a choice of several rings.
Is that enough to justify the purchase?
NO!
Look elsewhere...you'll be glad you did!
