Im thinking of buying a audiovox smt5600... just would like to get some feedback on this phone. I havent seen too many people around here talking about this phone, as it is not as popular as the rest?

Please share your experiences with this phone... good and bad...

Thanks

So far I really like mine, you'll find more info on it in the Microsoft Smartphone forum if you haven't already searched there...

I'd have to say my only major complaints are:

1) doesn't have a 3.5mm headphone jack to be used w/ the MP3 player capability, this really stinks, the factory headset is OK, but it'd be nice to have all headphones as an option.

2) typical complaint you'll see about the rocker switch not being all that user friendly, left/right nav is difficult and will sometimes cause you to pick the wrong thing

3) camera sucks, but not sure that's a big issue, after all, it's a phone !

4) it's not a flipphone, if you like flipphones !

On the pro side, there are a number of reasons this phone works out for me...

1) somewhat smaller than the MPx w/ a larger screen

2) BT voice dialing

3) media player 10, it syncs music w/ my desktop nicely

4) it's not a flipphone, i hate flip phones

That's just my basic impression, only had this phone for 1 month so far but I did alot of research/reading before I bought, there are a TON of reviews and comments about this phone online, and the Orange/HTC version of it as well (same phone).

It is a nice smartphone packed with features. Far from perfect, but right up there along with the Nokia 6620 a the better smartphones for 850mhz.

great phone. Excellent reviews. All my customers who have them love them, my room mate loves his as well.
I'll agree to the nav button, but thats the only major issue for me.

And quit complaining about the camera. I have my beloved MPX220 and its camera is the WORST, so I don't wanna hear it
