| raclapp's Full Review: Sprint TouchPoint 2200 Cell Phone |
The Sprint PCS Touchpoint 2200 phone is a beauty. For a gadget lover, it is especially nice. The phone is excellent with the voice recognition and internet browsing.
Though I have had recent problems in retrieving Yahoo email using the cell phone. I have not run into any other site problems. This one is particularly annoying in that Sprint and Yahoo are partners...
The range of goodies/ accessories in well stocked but a bit pricey. Since the Sprint store chain is almost the exclusive provider of these goodies, supply and demand are in rampage mode.
Now the bad part. Sprint is over saturated in several markets, leaving the user with non-completing calls, especially in Major Metro areas like Reagan airport in DC. Occaisonally when crossing from one cell to another - you get dropped if the new cell is overloaded. There are also surprising Gaps in the Sprint PCS service areas as well. For example, on the top two floors of the Sheraton in New Orleans, don't bother trying to use the phone. No signal strength. When there is some getting through, it still won't let you on the system. So much for being in one of the highest buildings in the area..
The phone is worth the price and alot of fun, but the service behind it, leaves much to be desired.
