Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is NOT a "smart phone", it is merely a phone with extra options.
The good stuff:
* Slide out qwerty keyboard
* Good battery life
* Superb voice recognition for hands free dialing
* Very loud speaker
* My provider, Boostmobile, has an excellent pricing plan, and great service area
The bad stuff:
* Low bandwidth. This is a CDMA phone so speeds are equivalent to a 56K dial-up
* Camera quality is bad. It may be a 1.3 megapixel, however with the slow shutter speed and low sensitivity cause this camera to take blurry shots every time.
* The media player suffers from low fidelity playback, even when using headphone jack.
* The browser will not let you change the home page. It also does not save logon cookies, or passwords
* The facebook, and myspace applications are not applications. They simply launch the web browser.
* Downloading apps from 3rd party sites is disabled. You can't save images off the web either.
* As of this writing (11/24/2010) Neither Boostmobile or Sprint have made any new applications availble for purchase.
* The GPS capabilities are only available thru the "Boost Navigator" application, which costs extra money per use, or an extra monthly fee. You cannot delete this application from the phone.
* "Hookt Chat" application also cost extra to use, and is impossible to delete from the phone.
* Operating the phone is almost entirely done by using the touch screen, which is nearly impossible to see if you are outside on a sunny day.
* Video playback is not supported. Not even youtube
* You arent allowed to assign your own MP3's as ringtones. You are expected to buy those from the so called app store.
* Bluetooth tethering to other devices, (to share the internet connection), is disabled.
* Bluetooth file transfers are limited to one single file at a time.
* The touch screen is not capacitive, it is truly pressure sensitive. If you are used to a droid or iphone, this screen will feel numb and unresponsive.
Final Opinion:
The cons severely outweigh the pros. I would not recommend this phone to anyone.
