At first, I hated this phone. I was unable to place calls and I unable to use the internet. After living with frequent lockups for about 5 months and experiencing numerous connection problems, I was able to get the software firmware upgrade to version VI16.
Now I love the phone. I never get lock ups. I am able to make and receive calls and usually I get a 1 call connection - meaning the first time I dial a number, It connects.
However the internet browser built into this phone still is not up to par. I get a lot of page cannot be displayed errors. There are 3rd party programs that you can download to your phone to enable web browsing and I had a little more success with these.
Plus's: the LCD screen is excellent. However if you are outdoors in the sun, then you will have a bit of difficulty seeing the screen. Aside from that, if you use the phone indoors or in darkness, the display is the best I've ever seen on a cell phone. The screen is so bright that sometimes I've even used the screen as a flashlight!!!
The phone also has 300 # memory. However you can only store 12 characters in the name field spread over the first and last names. So if you have a friend with a name like JOSEPH SPRINTUSER, you will need to shorten the name to something like JOE SPRINT.
This phone supports downloads of games and ringers and there are numerous web sites where you can download ringers and games to the phone. The phone has a lot of built in memory and I've never gotten an "out of memory type error"
This phone will also connect to your laptop using a special cable from another 3rd party company and let you connect to the internet. I've tried it and it works and the speed isn't all that slow!
This phone has free built in voice dialing, voice memos, and text memos.
The phone also has quitte a few different volume settings for just about anything. For instance, you can have your main ringer set real loud and your voice mail indication tone be real low and you can have your text message ringer set medium. You can even use this phone as an alarm clock!
My main complaint on this phone was the frequent lock ups and inability to place calls. However once the software was upgraded, it eliminated all these problems and now I can truly say that I enjoy using this phone and really have no problems with it!
