Very bad ... bad ... bad phone!

I lose my phone network almost on a daily basis without even knowing it as the reception bar is always full!

No auto network search and the reception indication fools me!

Are you guys also experiencing the same as I am?

Thanks!

very basic , simple UI , briliant small display, unfortunately the keypad are to small & typing sms is a kind of nightmare. It dies just a week after I bought it- water splash ; no regret .

Read the specs. The 32 in the ringtone means it supports 32 channels of polyphonic ringtone. 10 is the preset number of ringtones.

The downloaded ringtones are very low and I can't set them as ringtone to receive a call. Really I am feeling bad about this phone. The colour resolution was really good but the features are not good. I would have gone for Nokia. Who ever is interested in taking this phone please don't take it. Its my suggestion to all the customers who ever is interested going for this phone.

Advantages:
1. Small, light weight, durable (I dropped it a couple of times, no scratches, phone was still working well)
2. Bright screen
3. Shortcuts can be programmed
4. Cheap
5. Calculator function is easy to use

Disadvantages:
1. Unable to transfer files using infrared and bluetooth
2. Too many steps involved in sending an SMS
3. Slow speed (when disconnecting a call, SMS - when trying to add words in front of an existing sms, when opening sound recorded files)
4. No auto key lock & 3 presses are required to activate key lock
5. SMS: unable to add new words to the dictionary
6. Small buttons - please use your nails to press the buttons!
7. The paint on the buttons wears off after three months of use
8. Vibration and ring volume are not loud enough
9. !!! No auto network search - I have to reset my phone every morning when I go inside a lift/ any place where there is no network and the reception indicator was showing full reception - when there is no reception at all!

Summary: Nice design! Poor in features - hey, you pay for a low price, you get this type of phone! You get a phone equal to the price that you paid for.

Verdict: 6.5/10

Damn, it's so cool! I just got mine 2 days back. You wouldn't get any other phone with so many features at this price ($85). It has just one lacking, that is, no Infra Red communication device.
