Speaker power too low
This works very well with my Nokia N75 but the speaker power is too weak when I'm driving my noisy Mustang GT. It's little bit strange because from 12V battery you should able to get 3-4W to 8 Ohm speaker. I'm going to open the case and change speaker driver if possible.I think that this is not Nokia design because usually they do not design or manufacture any accessories. Usually Nokia specifies everything very carefully to OEM manufacturers so I'm surprised to see that output power of speaker is too low for real application.UPDATE: HF-33W died just two weeks after warranty expired. Great!!! | 12 stars

Doesn't fit my Palm m500
I was look for a nice case for my Palm m500, and I though this was it. When I received it though, I discovered that the "rail" intended to fit the channel in the left side of the pda is entirely too thick to fit! It DOES fit the channel for the stylus, if you don't mind having the m500 pda in there upside down, and have no place to store the stylus. Add to that the fact that even with in the case the wrong way, the case is actually too narrow for the m500. I was really disappointed. If you are looking for a nice case for your m500, this is NOT it! | 01 star

Great Treo Protection & Handy Holster
This product is exactly what I expected. The ToughSkin cushions the phone and protects it from damage when accidentally dropped (which has happened to me on several occasions throughout the 3 1/2 years I have owned this phone). I also use the holster on a daily basis. It allows easy access and call screening without having to worry about "pocket dialing" or missing phone calls that regularly happen when I carry my phone in my pocket instead. This is the third time I have purchased this product. After a year or so, the rubbery ToughSkin becomes discolored and starts to fray and deteriorate. Nonetheless, I rate it as having a good value and reasonable lifespan. | 45 stars

Three-Piece Value Combo
Horrible. The only thing that is useful is the car charger. Ear piece for hands free phone use doesn't work and the leather phone case does not fit at all. I guess you get what you pay for. Lesson learned! :) | 01 star

I LOVE THIS PHONE!
My husband bought one first, and he loved it so much he bought one for me for Christmas. I absolutely love this phone. Not only do I only get to carry around ONE device instead of a phone and a plam pilot, it's easy to use and has some upgraded features from my palm m515. The color screen is better, and you have the option to change the system colors. The keyboard is a little clumsy, but easier to use than graffiti was. The phone itself works really well and I have no trouble hearing callers, which I used to with my old mobile phone. I like the mp3 player as well. We took this with us on a cross country flight, and enjoyed having the music to listen to without having to pack additional equipment. While the camera takes really low resolution pictures, my husband was able to take a picture while skiing at Squaw and email it to me with a "wish you were here" message, all without leaving the mountain. He also used it to "work from home" while in Tahoe, since he was able to access his work outlook exchange and take calls all without leaving the slopes.This device is a must have and I highly recommend it. While it may have a few minor shortcomings, its usability and convenience make it a strong package overall and you can't go wrong with this phone. | 45 stars

Loving this casing!
I had bought a classy looking leather sleeve for my phone, but discovered that i was unable to make pictures with the phone in the sleeve. The sleeve is also bulky, which I don't like.I came across this boxwave suit and it adresses both problems. No bulk and picture taking ability. | 45 stars

cheap motorola krap
I bought this phone as a secondary phone for my tenants to get in touch with me. So I only would use it maybe 3 or 4 times a month. After having the phone for only a year, the phone just one day stops working. I never dropped it or damaged it at all. Most of the time I had it, it would be sitting on my dresser. With such little usage and no damage done to the phone, this is terrible. Its almost like the phone knew when the warranty would be up so it would just break on its own. I will never buy another Motorola phone ever again. | 01 star

Ear hook breaks easily
This blue tooth is great but th ear hook breaks easily so be aware and order a couple of pairs of the ear hooks to have on hand. | 34 stars

Great sound quality, but it interferes with reception
The earpiece allows for great sound quality and is quite comfortable. The microphone also works well, but (according to people I have called) it applifies everything. If there is even a slight breeze, the microphone picks it up. The one thing that I was unhappy about: it significantly reduces reception. I tried using it in several areas, and in every case, the reception indicator was a line or two (or three!) below what it was without the handset plugged in. | 34 stars

Decent headphone for the price
I bought these to use with my Sony Ericsson W518a phone. They work, but the sound quality isn't up to par. Lot's of static in these headphones. | 23 stars

Phone's Audio died after less than 2 years
Verizon's attititude was "tough <fertilizer>! Renew and buy a new phone."When it worked, this phone had the absurd habit of taking photos of my wife's purse; it would bump up against something which would activate the camera.So caveat emptor.dave | 01 star

great!
I use this for my samsung galaxy and it is great! On top of being pretty nice looking it has excellent connection. I was very happy with how comfortable it was since a lot of headsets fit too snugly on my ears. Awesome quality. | 45 stars

Great Case
Cool looking case. Color looks cool, and the aluminum plates really make it look nice...Sounds shady, but it actually arrived fast & brand new.My only complaint about this case is that the lid does not fold back behind the palm when opened like soft cases & some hard cases; it only flips out flat next to the palm or straight up in the air. This is mostly a problem only when using the cradle, as you have to take it out of the case to get it in there. Besides that one little pet peve, I'm very happy I got it! | 34 stars

"Underwhelmed"
The description of this case is overstated. It is simply a slim rubber case, and at that it is a decent one. It adds very little bulk, and in fact blends in to the point some people will think your phone does not have a case. Very sharp-looking. And I can't speak for all shipping destinations, but I got this super-fast: I ordered it Sunday night and got it Tuesday.But the description really made me expect it to do everything including mow the lawn. A few nit-picks that may be relevant to users:-- Being so low-profile, I would expect it to provide very little shock protection, if any at all. I'll be careful not to drop my phone!-- It is all one piece of rubber, just with two finishes. I did not think that was clear in the description.-- The matte finish is slick. I cannot use it one-handed if I'm touching the matte finish. The glossing finish is nice and sticky, making it easy to hold. Unfortunately, the glossy finish is only about 20% of the back!-- The "grippy" sides are not so grippy. Trying to use the phone one-handed with my fingers wrapped around the far side, they slip off. I would have expected the textured side edges to be very easy to grip. They are not.-- If you're a perfectionist, you ought to know that the feature cut-outs do not center over the features. I think all of my features still work (I can plug in the charger and headphone jack, the camera is not obstructed, etc.), but if you care about alignment you'll notice this. The power and volume rocker bumps are a little out of alignment as well, which doesn't affect your ability to use them, as long as you squeeze where they are, and not on the bumps themselves.Overall I'm not displeased with this purchase, but I wish i hadn't paid $11 for it. Other than aesthetics it has nothing on the $0.99 rubber cases out there, and it's probably not as easy to hold as they are. | 23 stars

Free phone
The phone was free after the rebates and well worth the money even for what I paid up front. It has an abundance of features, which you can find on web sites.The good:- features, especially the speaker phone- battery life, 4-5 days with about 200 minutes talk time, dozens of pictures, emails- clear sound even if it is somewhat weak- the look, well designedNot so good:- somewhat weak sound at the highest volume, hard to hear the caller on the streets of New York. The speaker phone on the other hand is loud, go figure- digital camera makes rather lousy pictures. Although it makes 640x480 24-bits pictures, it is only 300 pixels/inch. That makes the image look snowy, grainy, and generally not something you'd want to keepDo get the optional data-kit, including the MobilPhone Tools software. Most of the software features work with the V300, with the exception of the Calendar.I didn't get this phone for the digital camera features, nor should you. As a phone, it is great, if that's what your looking for. | 34 stars

Does what it's supposed to do
I lost the data cable that came with my Fusic and had ended up buying a Mobile Action package from RadioShack.. Bad mistake.. Their cable limited what you could do through the USB port and had bad drivers.I found this cable on Amazon. Lo and behold it functions exactly the same way the original cable I had lost does. I should have just bought this one from the get go. | 45 stars

I like this tool
I have been using this now for about 2 months. Sometimes when I open Amplitube 2, the sound is all distorted. I can usually fix this by changing the sampling rate on the setting menu and opening and closing the software again. There is something funky about the software. I'm still trying to figure this part out. You should have the recommended half gig to run the software. Once the sound is working, I have no complaints. The sound is really good thru the speakers on my computer and the supplied patches are great. It works great with my bass and guitar. I find the loop feature a big help to figure out how to play some of the licks in songs. Using the mouse to control the amp settings is also a little funky. I would buy this again if I had to do it all over. It's a very easy way to interface your guitar to your mp3 files and play along with them. | 34 stars

The Phone is Awesome, but Nothing is Ever Perfect
Everything has its pros and cons. The V710 reception far outweighs the crappy camara any day!Pros-reception, reception, reception-many little features that make it tick-cool style-it's a camara phoneCons-it requires a cell phone carrier to work-the camara takes terrible pictures-hard to find a case that doesn't interfer with opening and closing the phone (as with all flip phones)I really like the Motorola V710 phone. I have had Verizon Wireless service for a few years now (word of advice, run if you haven't gotten stuck in with a contract) and this phone works the best on their network. I have a cronic problem of dropping calls around my house and this is the only phone that can hang on to the calls. In the past few weeks I have tried the LG VX7000, which dropped calls faster than a brick, and the Kyrocera (or however you spell it) which also drops way to many calls. I have been very happy with the V710, the camara sucks, as I am sure you have heard, but if you want a great camara, get a camara. The phone has some really niffty features on it and I am really starting to warm up to the menu, which can be just plain wierd if you are not use to it. Another thing that gives the Motorola a learning curve is the layout of the keys, but it can be a "what the heck is that" phone. All in all, I choose the Motorola because of the reception but I am finding all kinds of other features I didn't know I couldn't live without. The Motorola is an increadibly clear phone with great reception, but won't bring you the kitchen sink. The LG VX7000 is a phone that has increadibly crappy reception but does everything else with flying colors. But hey, the thing is a phone, not a butler. | 34 stars

Nice phone for all the bells and whistles-battery life short
I really loved this phone when it came out. I have to admit it's the best one in the US if you want a PDA type phone along with PHOTOS and VIDEO. You will need to BUY a blutooth link adaptor however ($40). The Worst of this phone is the Battery life! It's about 24-27 hours on my phone! It sucks to charge a phone every other day or all the time, which is my case. Second, the size, it is BIG and bulky. Third, when you take pictures, you can't see the picture as you take it, only just before, then a window pops up and blocks the image. So, you might have to retry 'cause you can't see at the exact time you shoot, if someone blinks. I was glad that I got both Amazon and Nokia's rebates- so the phone was free, only saving grace to make this phone tolerable. However, the book is long and there are so many things I haven't learned since the book size and a little too ABC's style to get to an actual quick answer to basic questions, which is daunting. There are so many smaller phones with pics which is probably more practical. However since my Palm 7 was stolen, I do carry everything on this phone and it does have a SIM chip so every thing can be carried onto the next phone, BUT you must DOWNLOAD it ONE by ONE into the phone/chip(LENGTHY). If you want video, in addition to all the bells and whistles this is a nice phone; battery life and size..? this is something to think about before you commit to buying this phone with your plan. | 23 stars

Sexy and good as a phone, but advanced features are poorly executed
After owning and enjoying a Nokia 3650 with many of the same features, I decided it was time to retire the giant formfactor of the 3650 and step up to a sleek, sexy little thing. I've had the T809 since the first week it was available in stores (12/05) and I can offer my impressions:- Looks awesome, turns heads, makes people want it. In this way it's a "Razr-killer."- The screen is incredible - vivid, bright, and very high-resolution. It's tough to see in direct sunlight - don't get this phone if you spend a lot of time outside - but for nocturnal types or barhoppers it's unbeatable.- Interfacing with your PC is really easy thanks to the software they provide.- It has a ton of features for such an easy-to-carry package.- Did I mention it's easy to carry? And tough, too - I've dropped it on concrete about 8 times from a distance of 4-5 feet and it still works perfectly.However...- The text messaging implementation is awful. I don't want to upset myself by going into detail - and it seems some other reviews have mentioned this in more detail - but it's terrible. Basically, the software is incredibly poorly thought out in terms of usability. If you enjoy text messaging, I'd advise that you run from this phone.- The camera is high-res - 1.3 megapixel - but it's super hard to get a shot that's not blurred in some way. I wish they had put some steadicam technology into the software.- I have heard the opposite on forums, etc., but in my experience the reception this phone gets is not so hot. That said, I've never dropped a call that started with more than zero bars (when not in a car, etc.).- The "slide" functionality seems to just emulate the "end" button when closing it during an operation - you can't, for example, do something that requires the keypad and then slide the phone closed before the operation is complete. Sending text messages? Gotta wait until the message is fully sent before sliding the phone closed. It's annoying that they didn't spend more time on how this sliding feature could be more useful or convenient.- I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't play a lot of my MP3s... I think it had something to do with the encoding - bitrate, or something like that. At this point in the lifecycle of MP3 technology, I don't want to mess with MP3s that work on my computer and iPod in order to get them on my phone... it should "just work." Skip this phone if you want a good MP3 player.- Getting videos on this thing is almost as hard as getting them onto the PSP. Skip this feature altogether.- There's no way to get the phone to vibrate and ring at the same time. The only option is to have it vibrate a couple rings, then play your ringtone, which is really inconvenient - I set it down at home, walk into the other room, and once I hear it ring it's too late to get to it in time. Worse, changing the ring type is nowhere near as easy as the one-touch profile swap on my old Nokia - you have to navigate through a ton of ridiculous menus to change the ringing options, which (for me) negates the functionality.- The volume is not loud enough at its highest setting to compensate for imperfect circumstances (friend using headset, etc.).Overall I'd say that this phone is crippled by poor execution on the user interface side - too many engineers, not enough designers. It's too bad because fundamentally it seems pretty solid - as a phone, it works well, and it looks sexy as hell. Despite those strengths, every time I use it for text messaging, I want to throw it against the wall. | 23 stars

My Phone Feels So Safe
This case is great! It is easy to put on as well as take off and it stays put. I love the bumpered corners. This is so much better than the snap on cases - all the holes are in the right places and I would buy it again. | 45 stars

Unbelievable Clarity
First time I answered a call I couldn't believe the clarity on the headset. It's easier and faster to answer a call with a click than searching for your phone. I wear glasses and one is thin rim and one is thick. I'm able to use both with my headset and have no problem. I highly recommend the H500.Yours Truly,Mr. Orta | 45 stars

It does work
I recently bought this product to use when I go camping and need to keep my cell phone as well as my daughters Ipod charged. I tested it on a Motorola Droid X smart phone and here are my results: From 5% battery life, two Duracell batteries brought my phone to 40% in about two and a half hours and the batteries were dead. I also tried two Energizer Lithium batteries and those gave me a full charge from 5% in the same time frame and were dead. So in conclusion: The product works, but you'll need to pony up the money for lithium batteries if you want it to work well, or spend half the day charging stuff with conventional batteries. | 34 stars

Cool clip!
PROS: Came with the phone, works well to hold the phone easily accessible. Phone goes on and comes off with ease, never had a problem with the phone randomly falling off during normal daily activities. Has the ability to rotate the phone through 180 degrees so the phone can lay horizontal or vertical on your belt.CONS: Tends to hold your phone out so that it may snag on things. Mine snagged the seatbelt and broke. Cheap to replace, however, especially at the price. | 34 stars

review.....
My tracfone has worked out good so far. Customer service is fine and the free voicemail was easy to set up and use. If you decide to get a tracfone, please email me for a quick referral before activating it- we each will get 120 free minutes from the 'refer a friend' program. I'll also send you the simple instructions to follow. I've used Tracfone for quite a while, so i should be able to answer any questions you might have.ps even if you have activated in the last few weeks i should be able to get us the free minutes. | 45 stars

Only drawback: Battery
I've been using this phone for about 4 weeks now. I have used Nextel in the past and the new Sprint Ready Link PTT capabilities are nearly equal to the Direct Connect feature from Nextel.What I like about this phone:-compact size-camera that takes "ok" still and moving pictures-easy upload of pictures to web-downloadable ringtones-PTT-reception is very goodWhat I don't like about this phone:-The PTT is not error correcting. What that means is that since the PTT from Sprint is essentially VOIP (voice over Internet) -- if your phone can't connect to the Internet is stops with this honking error message. Rather than retry it sits there waiting for you to press a key to acknowledge the error. This unfortunately disqualifies the phone for serious use by many companies.-Battery life seems very short. I believe this is because of the Ready Link constantly communicating with the Internet. I'm getting maybe a day of medium use.-The ReadyLink tones sound like something that should be on a Barbie walkie talkie for kids. Believe me half the time you'll never hear the. Oh - and they need an alert feature too. | 45 stars

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!
I purchased the Motorola S9 about 2 months ago, and it worked fine for about 1 month. Then the buttons stopped working consistently, and finally stopped working all together. I got agreement from Motorola to replace the headset under warranty a month ago, and shipped it back and still not headset. When I called I got the typical call center garbage, putting me on hold, disconnecting the call, etc. Finally I got someone on the line and they claimed that the headset is out of stock and that is why I did not receive it yet. They never notified me of this, and when I asked when it would be in stock I was told they did not know, but I could call back in a week. I told them that was not going to be OK, and then they claimed to have resubmitted my order and I would receive it in a week. We shall see...Do not buy this headset, many people have had trouble with the buttons and customer service has been terrible getting this remedied. | 01 star

Best Bluetooth headset on the market! Great Value!
I purchased this headset after looking at many different units on the market. My first Bluetooth headset I purchased was a Belkin F8V9017 and it was dismal in its performance, barely lasting for one hour and always disconnecting from my phone.So, I looked at all the headsets currently out and was settling on the Bluespoon Chameleon. However, I was concerned about having to bend the support into my ear. So, after further deliberation and strong consideration for the price point of the Cardo Scala, I purchased it.I took it out of the box and placed it on the very small and nice charging base. I would have preferred the headset to be able to charge using my Nokia phone charger, but, for the price I decided it wasn't a dealbreaker. After the full charge was reached, I followed the instructions and connected it to my phone, a Nokia 6820.I've now been using this headset for two months and it has outstanding performance. The battery life is outstanding. I have taken this headset on a 3 day trip, without charger, and had no problems with the battery life. The advertised talk time of 9 hours and 200 hours or so of standby is accurate.It sits comfortably in the ear. After a little bending and adjustment of the ear piece, it is tight to the ear and face. It's volume can get very loud, which is great for the noisy enviroment. Moreover, their noise cancelling technology, referred to by Cardo as "Windguard technology for outdoor use" also works quite well. The usual sound you hear from a cell phone or ear piece if someone is walking outside and talking simply is not heard with this device on the ear.It's operation is simple. You simply press the large outside button to connect it to the phone. You hold the button down for 3 seconds during a call to transfer the headset back to the phone. You click the headset once to activate voicetags, if you have them set up through the phone. You press once to end the call. The volume adjustment is on the back dial and is easy to adjust.The range is about 30-45 feet without line of sight.The only problem I have had with this unit is the ear bud. About 1 day after I had it, I noticed the ear bud piece separating from the unit. It looked like the glue to hold it in place simply failed. So, I took the ear bud off, readjusted the speaker and snapped it back into place. I haven't had any problems since then.My co-workers have other bluetooth headsets, mainly Motorola. They compare well but do not connect as easily, do not have anywhere close to the batter life and talk time, and were twice the price.I highly recommend this Bluetooth headset over any others on the market right now. Even if it was comparably priced with the others (in the $90 range), it would win. The fact that it can be bought at a considerably less price, makes it the "hands off" winner. | 34 stars

Earpiece is too small and volume too low
I got the phone 5 days ago from Cingular. I hasitated for a while and finally decided to return it for exchange to other phone.The main problem is the earpiece is too small with which you cannot hear the other party's voice clearly, unless you put the hole right above your ear, which is very difficult to locate. Each time, I have to try several times before I can place it correctly. I think other things are good for this phone.I had Nokia phone previously with very good experince. But why this phone was designed so stupidly?! The earpiece is a small thing, but also the biggest one for a phone. | 23 stars

The Battery
Light weight battery, lasts a while...although not 216 minutes and not necessarily 1-2 weeks standby either...more like 5 days to 8 days. If you roam alot or your signal is weak, your cell phone compensates by going analog or roam, which generally uses more power even when your fone is not in use (but on). Still not a bad battery tho! Price is rougly the same everywhere...so not too hot of a deal.. | 23 stars

Satisfied
It was hard to find a cheap case for my Panasonic x70. This case fits perfectly and it looks great. The problem i have is that when I close the phone, sometimes it doesnt close completely so not only am I using more power, I cannot see the outer screen but once I put more pressure on it, it closes perfectly and the outer screen can be seen. For the price, it is a great bargain! | 34 stars

*NEW* SOLID BLACK V3 Razr Motorola Hard Protective Cover Case w/ Optional Belt Clip
When I received my order, I was mistakenly shipped the Motorola V3/ V3C Razr Razor Shell Protective Hard Case Cover Skin - Solid Black.

Good phone overall.
6 Months ago I would have rated this phone 5, but it has picked up a common problem that tends to affect them after 1-2 years of use. An internal component goes bad within the phone and the only way it will charge is via its USB sync cable. Needless to say this is quite annoying. Other than that it's been a wonderful phone with great features, but the charging problems that develop later kinda suck. I still love the phone...just wish I could charge it somewhere other than my laptop (it won't even charge in a ac to USB or dc to USB charger....it has to be connected to a computer)> | 23 stars

3 different Q phones, all dysfunctional
I today was dumb enough to pick up my 3rd Q phone in three weeks. My initial phone died on the charger the night I bought it. It went into some boot mode and never returned. It even puzzled the Motorola customer service to where they gave up. I picked up another phone thinking maybe I had a dud, and it worked great for two whole weeks, until the same thing happened again. I recognized it right away and took it to the store, versus wasting time with Motorola and the same helpless end result. So today I decided to give this phone one last hope and traded in another one. As I was pulling out of the parking lot of the store, it died and will only turn on if I remove the battery and replace it for each use. This phone is a disgrace to Motorola and the phone industry. How can someone market a product so unreliable and problem full. It is a pathetic excuse to compete in the industry and anyone affiliated with producing this phone should be disgraced. | 01 star

Great Business Accessory
Now days cell phone users aren't using belt clips like we did in the earlier days. I use a personalized hard case for my iPhone 4 and covered the face with a clear protective screen so that I can carry the thing in my pocket like most.However, for those times when pocket bulge won't cut it I strip off the deflector case and rely on my front/back/and side clear screen protectors for use with my leather belt clip on. The hard mold leather is professional and works like a charm. @laroncarter | 45 stars

Crumbling to pieces
This headset exceeded all expectations for three years. I had multiple colleagues buying the same equipment due to my advocacy. I am using this daily, hours on end for work and travel. Pairing is excellent, sound quality great and you can wear it for hours. After two years the earpads started to disintegrate, no biggy. But now the plastic is chipping off piece by piece, the matrial has become soft. Glueing is not an option. The left earpiece has now fallen off. Sound quality is still excellent, the battery still lasts for days. But I can't put the thing on my head anymore. And Plantronics doesn't sell anything similar anymore: stereo, BT, over the ear. | 34 stars

I like it
So this is my first PDA phone. I actually did not need one, but since I was going into a new contract, and I would not be able to buy another phone (free of cost) for another 2 yrs, I thought that I should go with the "in thing".I surfed the net and found a site where I got this phone for free without needing to subscrib for a data plan. I dont intend to use it for data much. If I do, I will pay per use. I just wanted a PDA Phone that would give me the flexibility of email et al and I could subscribe to a data plan when I think that I need to. The cingular people were charging me quite a bit for this phone with a required minimum mandatory data plan (without a data plan, it was exorbitant) and were sure that I could not get this phone for free anywhere without a data plan, that too added as a new line to my already existing other Cingular phone. Too bad for them........Ok, now for the phone.....I must say that as a first time PDA Phone user, I was smitten by the Blackberry Pearle for its looks and all. However, I have been falling deeper in love with this phone ever since I got it (about a week).PROS:- Excellent display- Very user friendly and customizable OS (I did not need a manual for most of the stuff).- Loud and clear ear piece.- Good signal strength. (This was the primary reason why I moved to Cingular. Earlier, I had a T-mobil and my wife had a Cingular, she would singals everywhere, but T-mobil sucks on that accunt).- Good keypad. The key pad comes up like a cluttered one with very small keys at first look. I was scared as I have fat fingers. But the keys are protruded so that I have never pressed a wrong key. Better that the big key plat key pad in my razor.- Even without using the data plan, I am able to use the calendar, alarm, internet and it helps a lot to keep me on track for my day to day activities.Ok another thing that I have read a lot about here is the bad battery life on this phone. I must say that I got 3 days from my first charge on the regular battery (not the extended one), with a talk time of about 2 hrs, fair amount of net surf (pay per use), and lots and lots of palying around. The first thing I did was swtiched off bluetooth and 3G. I will switch them on when I need them (I am sure this will drain the battery faster), but for now, I am good. (I will update this space about battery life, if I see it going down).So all in all, this phone is real good, looks real sleek (yes, even when compared to the Pearle). I like it. | 45 stars

Makes a meager performing phone a superstar!
I was displeased with nearly every aspect of the VX8600 shortly after the initial purchase. I had poor reception- even within eyesight of cell towers, low signal strength, and extremely short battery life. I had to condition myself to limit calls to just a couple minutes, otherwise I would lose the call and have to plug in to resume. Of course this assumes I could even make/receive a call in the first place.So instead of buying a new $100+ phone I decided to try a new battery first since the price was right and physically the phone was still perfect. I must say, this was the best $8 I ever spent. The reception is loud, clean, and clear. Signal strength is maxxed everywhere I go and I no longer have dead spots in my home or office. Best of all- battery life seems limitless. I charge the battery out of principle now rather than necessity.Do yourself a favor; buy this battery. The only regret I have is not buying it sooner. | 45 stars

Great phone...not so great service...
Well first of all let me say when I first got the thing..i couldn't put it down...for three days straight..this phone is freakin awesome...most of the time...yes i have had the prob with the earpiece..the thing just doesnt direct sound very well is all..you realize you're off and adjust a bit and you're fine..i dont know what ppl are talking about when they say poor picture quality...what do you expect from a camera that's smaller than a dime..the thing is really quite amazing..and 640x480 really isn't something to scoff at..it'll take some great photos...where this phone has really failed me is reception and overall service..let me just say sprint is a pos...if at all possible..stay away from them...it's very unfortunate that such an awesome phone must be tied to such a horrible service...dropped calls all over the place..and that free and clear digital buisness? it just means that rather than hearing static, you'll just hear the phone cut out periodically..i don't know if their network is weak here in So. Cal or what but i can have to walk about 20 ft away from my house to get a signal. and the data transfer? FORGET ABOUT IT...I've never been so frustrated with my text mesaging in my life...the thing will lead you in circles and not get a single thing done..Personally I plan to switch to ATT mMODE will do the same things better than PCS vision ever could. The ring tones are awesome, but a bit of a ripoff at 1.50 a piece...the ringer itself i did have a problem with: when set to high, the polyphonic tones will crackle and come out sounding not all that great. Also one last note...the more things that are packed into a phone, the higher the chance that they will break...I used to have my trusty old-school nokia and i could dropkick the thing, dunk it, and it wouldn't phase it in the slightest..I left the 8100 in my pocket when i fell asleep and when i woke up, the screen was dead...when the screens did work though they were incredible..when i flipped open my phone for the first time the display took my breath away. The sub-lcd is pretty trick also; the photo color id is one of the coolest things the phone does...overall here's what i thought of the phone:Pro's:Chocked full of features,nifty camera takes nice picsvery vivid color displays, some of the best available.Con's:Horrible service and supportQuestionable qualityVerdict: An overall great phone that just happens to be paired with a not-so-great service. If you don't absolutly need the clamshell, go with the Nokia 3650; you'll get a better service with ATT and it'll do everything the 8100 will and more... | 34 stars

great phone
I have had this phone for almost two years now and I like it very much. My wife got a Nokia 6102 that needed to be replaced. I can now get a new phone almost for free, but I do not see a reason to get a new one. It has better reception than the Nokia, the call quality is better; it is louder, and much thinner and sturdier. The battery life is quite good, even after two years of use. I charge it every 5-7 days or so and use it during the day only. A big plus is that you can rearrange the icons so that it will be harder to accidentally access the web and get charged for it. The Nokia and the Samsung SYNC intentionally make that too easy; the SYNC is the worst in that respect. The only thing that is not that great is that the screen is hardly visible in bright sunlight. The SYNC has brighter screen. On the other hand, my RAZR is a two year old model; maybe the newer ones have better screens.Update: 5 years later, the phone is working great. It served me for 7 years and I will be sad when it goes. The call quality is better than any smart phone that I tried. | 45 stars

4 out of 5
I bought this smartphone because I wanted a newer phone and I also wanted a new palm pilot. I read reviews about the Treo 600 last summer and bought it in November.I'm thrilled about this phone. Its the answer to all of my handheld needs. The reception is better than my older phone, the size and volume is good, its fast, easy to use, and has some great features. The camera and screen resolution could use an upgrade but other than that what's not there can be added by installing various software and there's plenty available for its Palm OS. However let me share with you the most annoying problem... the obvious issue of an exposed keypad. The keyguard feature with the Treo 600 was in fact not a "true" keyguard, in that 3 keys besides the center button would either silence and\or answer the phone erroneously. If I had the phone in my purse or pocket and one of those buttons were pressed when a call came in you'd never hear the phone ring because it had been silenced and answered by the depressed keys.THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW.1. if a call comes in and a button is somehow already depressed it shouldnt answer.. that should require a "change in state"2. the Treo 600 keyguard is supposed to do just that... guard the keys from inadvertent key pressesThis happened OFTEN and led to several embarrassing situations. To make matters worse I contacted Sprint on 3 separate occasions but their support seemed to know next to nothing about the phone. I then contacted Handspring and was told that this wasnt a design flaw but rather was "intended". FUNNY... I'd combed through the manual and it's very clear on the keyguard function. It states ALL keys except the center key are locked. There is no mention of those 3 keys (space, backspace and return) being active when keyguard is turned on. I was frustrated and on the verge of returning my Treo to Sprint. After getting blown off by the manufacturer I turned to the internet and user forums. I found that many more Treo users were having the same problem. Finally 3rd party vendors caught on and created a "fix" which I was happy to purchase. This is a fairly expensive phone. My problem is that Handspring or Sprint should have issued an official patch to owners as this IS a design flaw. I'm not thrilled with the marginal\poor support and owners should not have to comb the internet seeking support or high demand accessories for that matter.If you dont mind paying a bucks for patch to fix the keyguard issue, are somewhat savvy in using the internet to seek out accessories or information, and are looking for a great smartphone this is the one for you. | 34 stars

Piece of Junk (and "Award Winning Customer Service" to go with it)
Sure, everybody likes Razrs because they are the most well-known and popular phone in the world, practically, but they are pieces of junk! Here's the pros and cons, to keep this review short and simple:PROS--thin, just like all the ads say.--cool factorthat's about it!CONS--ear volume when talking is horrible! I could barely hear this while I was riding a half-filled DC metro, I couldn't hear at all walking down the hall at my high school.--numerous and painful software malfunctions. Sometimes the camera doesn't work. Sometimes the Internet won't load. Sometimes the phone shuts itself off. Sometimes it decides it's not going to recognize my SIM card. (Just for the record, my first RAZR lasted 5 months before it started malfunctioning uncontrollably and I sent it back. My replacement lasted one week before I started having these problems--and that was the 'better' version that TMobile had to fix these problems.--cant see the screen worth nothing outside or in a car--pain in the neck.--dust accumulates on the screen. that wouldn't be a problem except for the fact that it accumulates on the INSIDE of the screen, where you can't wipe it off and the already unseeable screen is made worse.If I would have given this 0 stars I would have. If you are a Moto diehard, get the Motorola V360 instead--it doesn't have any problems and it has an MP3 player. If you don't have an obsession with Motorolas, go for the Samsung t609, which is the best phone TMo has on the line write now. It has an MP3 player, a 1.3 MEGAPIXEL CAMERA (that's amazing for a cameraphone) and it has the usual Samsung quality. Whatever you get DON'T GET A RAZR FOR ANY REASON!UPDATE 8/11/06--one month later (this is like a horror story)I wrote a review under the name "Fed Up with Razrs" and I recently had it legally changed to "Fed Up with Razrs AND TMOBILE!" After a month-long battle with Tmobile representatives over sending me another piece-of-junk Razr (they claimed they could only send me Razrs as replacements, even though I had gone through two of them which had both malfunctioned--see my review "Piece of Junk"). After this month-long reparte with the J.D. Power & Associate's Award-winning Customer Service that T-mobile has, I recieved an email saying that I could choose one of two options to get a different phone, after reading which I breathed a sigh of relief, finally being rid of my Razrs for good. An hour later, they sent me an email that said that after reviewing my account they decided they could only send me a Razr and that it would ship tomorrow. This is infuriating. Not only can they not cater to the customer and give me a phone that I have not had a two-time horrible experience with, but they told me something and did not even have the integrity to follow up with it, whether or not there was a mistake made. I ended my last review with DON'T GET A RAZR FOR ANY REASON! I now extend this to DON'T GET TMOBILE EVER! Listen to the voice of a victim and avoid Tmo. | 01 star

awesome
i checked so many sites looking for reviews on a good bluetooth, with the options ranging to almost 50 different kinds it was hard to choose. But i found the reviews for this Australian brand to be outstanding. I didn't want to spend a grip like some of the other bluetooth headsets out there for an easy $90-140. I charged it 4 hrs as indicated by the manual, paired up to my sony k800i in a matter of seconds. easy as pie. i was able to make very clear calls and the other party hears me perfectly. which is very important to me. i recommend this to anyone looking for a cheap, small and long battery life bluetooth. | 45 stars

Still waiting ...
We would like to write a review of the product but much to our dismay the item isn't available as billed on the Amazon.com site.If you go to the site it shows the item in stock and a note that most items ship within 24 hours but after ordering we got a note that says the estimated delivery time may be as much as a week to 10 days away!!! So why did we pay for 2 day delivery again?It gets better... Just checked again and now the price is $149.00 a $10.00 increase from yesterday and shipping is now $15.00. What gives here? | 01 star

OK for the price
Basically, it's a crummy clip. I've read reviews of the Brand name one and they don't seem to be much better. So If i had to I'd go for the cheaper model as they both will break.I dropped mine in the street and the top clip broke just as someone else said. Overall, the design is bad and there are NO good cases or clips for this phone. | 12 stars

durable phone; they could claim it's semi water/heat resist
i have to say i was totally amazed with this phone earlier today. my mom told me that it had been washed and dried and was broken. i let it dry out for a day and tried it, but it didn't work so i decided i'd take some of my anger out on it. i took it outside and threw it at trees and the fence a few times and then spent about 10 minutes launching it to the bottom of our yard with a water baloon slingshot mounted on our deck. when i finally brought it inside. i plugged it into the charger to see if the little light on the outside would turn on, and it did, starting to charge. i left it there for a while and then unplugged it and tried to turn it on. surprisingy, it worked. even though the top half of the phone is lose( the screen), the external caller id is filled with water, and on some calls it sounds choppy, it works!!! if you're on a budget i definitely recommend this phone. | 34 stars

Amazing!
I purchased this item and I am amazed at the sound quality of the recordings! I write music and it makes it easy for me record my song ideas. I can put my ipod/TuneTalk on the table and play and sing from a short distance away, and the recordings come out amazingly crisp and clear....even if there is more than one person singing! I am so happy with this product! It is much better than having a separate hand-held recording device. I don't have to carry anything other than my iPod...And, best of all, all of the recordings, voice or music, are stored right into iTunes and they can be easily transferred onto my PC, where I can sinc them into my iTunes library on my desktop or send the files via email. It's really a terrific little recorder! I highly recommend it! | 45 stars

I don't recommend this phone
The first time I got this phone the microphone was broken. I could not hear anyone, but they could hear me just fine. T-mobile sent me another Nokia 6133, and it was working fine. I have had the phone for not even 3 months yet, and the microphone broke again. This time I can hear the other person, but they can't hear anything from me. Please, save your money and don't bother with this phone. It's not worth the hassle. | 01 star

Great for the price
Great device, especially for the price. My Only complaint is that I wish the volume was a little louder (this could also be a problem with my phone and not the headset). It works extremely well and seems to hold a great charge between infrequent uses. [...] | 34 stars

For unlimited sizes of SMSs and Outlook syncing... but still a buggy con job from Motorola.
Like Apple, Motorola are now relegated to the bottom rungs of commercial extortion for forcing extra bucks out of your wallet for items that should be packaged with the goods when you buy them (or free for download), i.e. - all new Motorola phones should have been packaged with the FULL VERSION of Motorola Phonetools software and not the *lite version. So although you have heard about the PC software that comes free with some Motorola cell phones, what they don't tell you is that you only get the *lite version free which doesn't allow any syncing with Microsoft software and with limitations on SMS text word counts and other impaired functions that cost you an extra $30 (not $40+ like here on Amazon, do a search for the free online download unless you absolutely need the USB to cell phone connection if it didn't come with your new Motorola phone... sigh... but they should have at least given you that, or check to see if your phone has Bluetooth technology, and if so then just get a Bluetooth USB connection and use your wireless Bluetooth phone to Bluetooth USB to hook up to the software). So apart from allowing you to now do the things that you should have been able to do from day #1 it doesn't really do much else. However the Bluetooth USB setup doesn't always work right and I have found that not all cell phone work with this software yet either, so it is a bit of a buggy program. To be honest it is certainly not worth the money unless you really want to send long SMSs and sync with your MS Outlook, and it solves both these problems (that their own company created so that you would have to buy this). Basically there is no reason to be charging this much extra for such a bad piece of software that just allows for unlimited SMSs and syncing with Outlook. It doesn't work with all Motorola phones either, has a buggy Bluetooth and even USB setup and is not worth the money by a long shot. However if you need to have longer SMSs and need to sync, as I did, then you will forced to shove more cash into the hands of Motorola for this... and you should have had it from day#1.BAH! | 12 stars

Aggravating packaging, but decent product
I've used the keyboard several times; it makes my Treo 700wx usable as the PocketPC its manufacturer and Microsoft intended it to be. Indeed, I can see myself leaving my notebook at home and just using my Treo--something that I would never have considered without this keyboard and the Bluetooth mouse from the same manufacturer (the total experience really requires the mouse).But, there were a couple of aggravations. The first is the plastic shrink wrap--the kind that destroys non-industrial shears when trying to remove a product. The second was the instruction wrapper encircling the closed keyboard. The wrapper seemed to have had epoxy glue welding it to the case and to the keys that came in contact with it. I tried the usual ways of removing it. Used alcohol combined with elbow grease; cooking oil combined with the remaining elbow grease; and, finally, fingernail polish remover. That, of course, worked but at the cost of the attractive finish on the case.The keyboard itself requires some getting used to. That's the cost of getting so much capability in a keyboard with essentially three rows of keys. I see no other way of achieving a full sized typing surface in such a diminutive size when folded-up. | 34 stars

Samsung Bluetooth
This is my third Bluetooth of this style. This earpiece is small and clear listening and talking. The problem is the way it stays on...it has 3 sized rubber gaskets to fit in your ear, but even the smallest hurts my ear. After time the gasket loosens and spins around too. Also there is a hook over the outer ear but it breaks in a week or so because it is not flexible and you have to remove it each time you charge. It is very delicate, and even knowing this from the last one I purchased I managed to break it again. So for the price and technology I give it a 5 but for the wearablilty I give it a 1. | 23 stars

Rating for ordering not phone
I ordered this phone and a V400 from Cingular ... the order was cancelled ... I was told by amazon.com that they can't tell why ... they gave me a Cingular number ... I called Cingular and was given the run-around ... eventually, they told me they can't tell me why it was denied and that I have to ask amazon.com ... this is amazing ... I have very, very good credit so I know it's not a credit issue ... I'm frustrated because I ordered it on the day the phone had a significant rebate and now the rebate is no longer valid. | 01 star

Dissapointed
Living in New York City I wanted a blutooth headset that would seal out all the noise while walking in the streets. The plantronics Discovery headset I thought would do the trick since it fits directly in your ear canal, unfortunately after trying each of thge 3 fitted ear tips provided I always had the same problem, "THE HEADSET WOULD ALWAYS FALL OUT" . I tried attaching the supplied ear hook but that was so uncomfortable that i decided to return the headset and try something else. | 01 star

saved me from a new contract at cell phone company
This was just the part I needed when mine fell off. The cell phone company told me this was NOT a replaceable part and I would have to get another phone (upgraded of course since they said they no longer made this phone) and I would have to start another contract because getting the new phone cancelled my existing contract.......I just happened to do my own research and lo and behold....this part exists!! It works perfectly, took 1/2 a second to screw on and saved me hundreds!! Unbelievable!!! | 45 stars

poor workmanship
This is one of the best bluetooth headsets I've tried... the noise cancellation is fantastic and it allows other people to hear you clearly in a noisy environment (unless there's a lot of wind). It has very good battery life, albeit the battery is non-removable and the headset will become useless when the battery no longer holds any charge.The biggest fault is the earloop-- it's made of fragile, cheap plastic. They will break sooner or later, so be prepared. | 23 stars

GREAT PHONE!!
well, i got this phone after a year of it coming out as it was just to expensive then. paid 100 bucks for it at BB with a 2 year contract back in sept.at first i wanted the black one, but it wasnt part of the sale at BB so i got the silver one and i am very very happy that i got the silver one.from the black one that a friend of mine has, the scratches are much more visible and to be honest it doesnt look as nice as the silver one does.it works great, and there are tons of things you can do to modify the phone and make it even better.i just wish it wouldnt of been as wide as it is, but the slimness makes up for it, that i almost always forget that i have it in my shirt pocket!!go get one now!! | 34 stars

Greatest Phone Holder so Far
I've tried alot of cell phone holders sold in stores and this one is by far the best you can buy. I bought one about 4 years or so ago at Radio Shack. I loved it and went back to buy another one and they were out. I've been searching for another one ever since and finally found one on Amazon. I was so excited I bought two. This holder not only mounts with tape but it also can mount with screws. I love it. It fits any style phone or Ipod. I think I'm gonna buy another on just to give out for Christmas. | 45 stars

Good average phone
Someone in my family lost their cell phone on the bus (to protect the guilty, I remain silent) and needed a replacement phone. We decided on the Nokia 6010 basically because of cost concerns. The phone was in our price range. Here are some first impressions on the phone:Form Factor: This is yet another 'candy bar' phone. It is oblong in shape and has no cover. The buttons are flush-flat and are backlit with a soft glow when any button is touched or a phone call is coming in. The unit is slimmer in design then it's other low cost cousins and is made out of plastic. The phone is slippery and will need a phone cover for the butter fingered.Reception: Pretty good. The sensitivity is a little bit better than average.Sound Quality: Odd. When we were testing this phone out, the caller receiving the call at the other end mentioned that the Nokia's broadcast sounded like somebody talking inside of a tunnel. Lots of echo. Strange.Display: Passing. The screen is bright enough to see in moderate to bright light. The images look a little chunky and the color could be more saturated. But overall, not bad.Ring Tones: Comes with a good variety of ringtones. This model has polyphonic sounding ringtones. This is a fancy way of saying that the sounds are stereo-like and quite full. Pretty entertaining.Navigation: If you have used a Nokia before, you will adjust to the menu system without too much trouble. However, newcomers will find the menus/submenus a bit daunting and non-logical. Read the manual for help. The Nokia menus allow you to enter new phone numbers, activate 1-touch dialing, set ring tones and volume, play games, set a screen image, etc.Overall Impression: Pretty nice basic phone. I rate this phone about a 4. | 34 stars

not as pictured
Case sent was not product depicted. There is no thumb notch, so the phone is a bit harder to remove.Also not sure if it is really leather (as was advertised) or vinyl imitation.Nonetheless it fits the phone nicely and has the little magnet to trigger the proximity sensor and turn of the screen when the phone is in the case. Delivery was fast and for the inexpensive price, would buy it again. | 23 stars

Buyer Beware!!
I really needed a pouch for my phone and after trying to get one from my phone carrier, to no avail, I decided to order this pouch from Amazon. It holds my phone pretty well, but the slot to charge the phone is in the wrong place. It is on the bottom of the phone instead of the side. If I had been given this information before I ordered this item, I probably would have not gotten it. | 12 stars

Works great with iPhone 4
I'm using these with an iPhone 4, and I'm very happy with them. The controls on the headphones let me manage volume, skip/stop/play music and podcasts, voice dial, and manage other voice commands such as music selection. Pairing was completely painless, and I was listing to tunes within a couple minutes of opening up the headphones.Audio quality is good. Certainly not up to the standard of premium headphones, but it's clear and free of static. MP3s sound just fine, as do games and videos.The quality for phone calls is more than acceptable, despite the lack of any sort of boom on the mic. When I called people, they said I was clear and weren't getting any background noise. Nevertheless, these are first and foremost headphones, and not a replacement for a mobile headset -- it would be a bad idea to drive or bike with these on.I've been quite pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoy the convenience of not having wires or needing to take my headphones off to take a call or change music. I can put on my headphones and start my music without taking the phone out of my pocket, and if I get a call while I'm out, I can instantly take the call, without having to take off my gloves or anything. They're the best iPhone accessory I own. | 34 stars

I decided to return it the first 24 hours ...
I chose the 3300 (despite its slightly childish look) because I thought a phone/music/PIM combination would give me all the functions I wanted in one machine without going into expensive smartphone territory. But it's been an incredible disappointment, for several reasons:1. The music player can supposedly play AAC files as well as MP3, but it's a different protocol from the AAC used by iTunes. If you want to copy tracks you ripped from your CDs using iTunes' default setting, you'll have to convert them to MP3 first.2. It can't sync directly to a PC--no Nokia PC Suite is available for this model (nor will there be, as I was told by customer service). Apparently, the only alternative to entering all your phonebook/calendar entries by hand is MightyPhone, a 3rd-party web-based service that costs an extra $3/month.3. The Nokia Audio Manager software is terrible! It couldn't complete a single track transfer to the phone, and it froze up for a solid minute while trying. I wound up just copying tracks directly to the drive, but then strange things happened to the track list, which I had to edit in NAM.4. The earbuds on the stereo headset are too big for most women--I simply could not steadily place the right-side one in my ear, and it fell out whenever I walked. (The only way to stop it was to hold the microphone ... but isn't it the point of headsets to free your hands?!?) And since the headset jack is proprietary, you can't just substitute your own headphones.I suppose this might be OK for a kid who just wants a cool-looking phone with decent sound. But if you depend on the PIM functions, I think you'll be very disappointed. I'm exchanging it for a Nokia 3650, which has PC Suite, Bluetooth, and the ability to download other applications (including MP3 players). | 01 star

It does work but it is not easy to set up
Until we got the zboost set up we could not get service at all in the house. This is not good because I have clients trying to reach me on my cell phone. I needed to at least be able to check messages on my cell. I could get one and maybe two bars outside on my balcony of my two story house. By setting up the zboost in my office with the antenae at the hightest peak of a catherdral ceiling. I am now able to get one and sometimes two bars inside sitting at my desk with the amplifier next to me.If you can put your antenae outside it works much better. We just didn't want to do this and it works good enough for us as it is. This instructions and support were not very good. That is why I only give it 4 stars. After we figured everything out on our own we understood what they were saying. | 34 stars

Don't buy this case
Wasn't what I expected. I got one of these for me and one for my son. Both cases started cracking the minute we put them on our phones. My son took his off a day later, while I lasted another couple of days before taking mine off. It made my brand new razor look horrible! | 01 star

phone for the true professional
Great phone for a professional. I would have given this phone 5 stars except I had problems with getting the software to work, and talking into this phone is like talking into a calculator (ergonomically). That is easily fixed with the use of Bluetooth, which I highly recommend. Buttons are extremely small (sacrifice full keyboard for button size). Internet is awesome (for $47 a month I pay, id expect it to be). Not having a camera on the phone, unlike my previous Motorola, makes this phone more business like, and less play. The address book is invaluable. I have around 300 business cards from clients and this phone stores more information than you can find on a business card. The calendar is an organizer and you can program meetings. My only regret was not buying this phone sooner. | 34 stars

Scala Rider bluetooth
Before ordering the product, I contacted the GPS manufacturer for recommendation on which Bluetooth would work best for my unit. Scala Rider was the recommendation and from there I went on line and found the best price at Amazon.com! The ordering and delivery was easy and right on time. Totally satisfied... | 45 stars

LG replacement battery
This battery was a major disappointment. I was not expecting an OEM life but in less than 6 weeks the battery began to lose holding a charge. Remember, you get what you pay for...next time I need a battery, I'll pay the extra money and buy the OEM. P.S. Just another note, I wouldn't but anything from this company. | 01 star

handsfree convenience
Allows me to drive a stickshift and have a conversation at the same time! I don't need a third hand to hold the phone or shift gears. Sound is clear and most functions (including voice dial) can be done from the headset with my V3. | 45 stars
