| chrisf_ipa.net's Full Review: Nokia 282 Cell Phone |
I am really pleased with my little Nokia 282, it is cute, compact, easy to use, and gets excellent reception (in my area). There are tons of features like the 75 name phone book, 12 different ring tones, customizable "profile" settings (for your ringer, volume, etc.), and 5 beautiful colors.
I bought this product because I need a small phone, I don't want a big bulky thing that I have to hold all the time, nor do I want to use one of those clunky waist clips. I also really liked the colors (I chose silver) and, the features are wonderful.
I have had very few problems with this phone, the major one is that the "finish" on it scars, my little brother was using the phone one night and dropped it, causing a small black mark on it, but other that that there are no major gripes, except in heavily wooded areas the reception gets fuzzy, but my previous phone was fuzzy constantly. The phone is a real ease to use, the menu is clearly defined. The battery seems to never run low, I purchased an extra for it because my previous phone (Nokia 918) had a low battery after 2-3 calls, this on is usually placed in my pocket (or in my back pack during school), and put on my night stand at night, I recharge when it reads 1/2 battery on the battery indicator (usually every other day).
I am an "on the go teen" and I love the phone, although I have lost it in my car 2 times (but just used someone elses phone to call it), and before I got a cell phone I had what seemed to be a 100 messages on my machine at night and once my machine was filled people would start calling the "main" line of our house and leave messages with my mom, which really did not go over to well. But back to the phone, I recommend it to everyone that is looking for a small, easy to use, sleek, stylish phone. There have been no problems in 3 months of owner ship, and never once has the battery ran down. I belive the price on the review page is wrong, I paid 349.99 (+ tax) for mine, on sale.
