The Bottom Line:
Good phone...spend the extra $$$ and get a Nokia 3360. You'll be much happier. Still, this is a good phone for the price.
This phone isn't too bad for the price, but there are definately better phones out there.
What I liked:
- Very lightweight... It's similar in weight to my 8290 which is a much smaller phone. I like that Panasonic decided to package the phone with a lithium-ion battery. That not only makes the phone lighter, but it's just a better battery type all around. I now look for phones that come with lithium-ion batteries as standard equipment, as it's superior to the standard Ni-Mh battery.
- Good display... You have a choice of six different backlight colors; some of which make the screen difficult to read (like blue). Mainly cosmetic, but it's cool nonetheless. It's easy to see, and it doesn't scratch easy.
- Nice price... This is a well equipped phone for the price. It sells for $49.99 with a new activation, which is a very reasonable price for what you get.
- Changeable faceplates... Again, mainly cosmetic but you can spice up the phone if you get tired of the silver and red faceplates included. A nice faceplate to look into is a flip one - check your local AT&T Wireless store for that.
- Polyphonic ringtones... The ringtones sound a lot more sophisticated in the sense that there's so many more notes playing at once. The "normal" ringtones can only play one note at a time, so it's not as realistic.
What I didn't like:
- Sound quality... I thought the sound quality was very marginal. I have multiple AT&T Wireless phones, and this would rank at the bottom. It sounds tinny and it starts to get distorted at high volume -- same goes for the built in speaker phone.
- Speakerphone... It's not all it's hyped up to be. It's extremely soft and if there's any noise around you, it's impossible to hear the other person. Totally defeats the purpose of a speakerphone, you know?
Overall, it's a decent phone. I would definately pick a different phone if I got the chance to choose another one. Don't get me wrong, for $50 this is a great deal -- I'd just prefer something else.
