So, just thought I'd post a review in case anyone is considering this phone. I basically got it for the megapixels & flash. I am happy with the photo quality. IF the photos didnt turn out so well, I would be so angry with this phone.
However I still regret my purchase.
I got this July 09, Its 2011 now, and my shutter has recently stopped opening on its own. I need to use my nails to push it open.
The screen is completely scratched up. I'm a girl and type with my nails. Theyre regular nails though, I'm not stabbing or scratching it. Just from tapping on the buttons there's a bunch of scratches all over my screen. It looks horrible and disgusting and thats the biggest reason I want to get a new phone, it is embarassing and constantly looks dirty.
The text message memory sucks. Every few days I need to clear out and delete my texts. I do text a lot (2,700-4,700 a month), but so do my friends and they tell me they barely have to clear out texts.
I also hate that this seems like a "smart phone" yet the texting format is old school. You get a text and thats all you see, you know how most phones now have
your text:
friends reply:
your reply:
Like you see the whole conversation? Not with this, if you forget what you texted you need to flip to your outbox and search for your text. All you see is the individual text.
I also hate that this phone is so unknown. I havent found any other good forums. No websites. People never recognize my phone. No support or discussion going on.
The battery is terrible too. If I dont remember to charge it each day its dead, I feel like it should last more than a day.
And, when I got this phone I found out T-mobile and facebook have some issue and you cannot easily send a photo from your phone to your facebook like i see friends do with other providers. Im not sure if this has been recently fixed, but I remember reading they purposely didnt want to work together and I couldnt even text the pic to a facebook code-email, like facebook gave me. So friends with crappy quality pictures get to upload to FB at the touch of a button, and my better pictures need to wait till I can hook up my camera to computer and then upload.
Keep remembering more things!
I like to use the auto-word feature so i dont need to use the keyboard layout and just the phonepad layout.
Before this phone I had the ****** ****** old razr if you remember that. That old old simple phone, was smart enough to remember words I most commonly use and auto fill. Auto fill COMMONLY used words.
The memoir auto fill option just auto fills whatever words. Words I rarely use. For example I constantly type my friends name 'brian', and it always wants to auto type 'asian' which i rarely/never use.
Also some crazy bug loses the first letter in some words. For example when i type 'tomorrow', it changes it to 'omorrow'. And other simple words. Its really weird.
All in all, wish I never got this one and in a few months hope to be looking for a replacement. I dont want to waste money on a smart phone (dont need internet or apps) but I want the best camera, so that is my dillema.
