On Second Thought

Feb 11, 2008

Rating: 4 out of 10 (Mediocre)
Pros: Slim form factor, sleek design, affordability
Cons: Pretty much everything else
Opinion:
I bought this phone about 4 months ago and gave it a pretty positive review previously.
After using it for 4 months, i've come to discover that the phone is actually pretty disappointing.
I've realized that the phone is bug-ridden, when the Touchflo interface activates without reason - if you use the keys at the bottom of the screen, every now and then somehow the Touchflo interfaces is duped into thinking you have somehow slid your fingers across the screen and the cube appears - it's not a big issue, but it's an irritating bug nonetheless.
What vexes me is the problem of my reception breaking off for no reason, sometimes even acting as if nothing happened even though i've not had reception for a while (meaning my phone shows no apparent problem, but people are actually unable to reach me) - i've repaired the phone twice (if you can tolerate the extremely POOR after-sales service) and i've changed my sim card too with no apparent improvement. I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but i certainly am in the market for a quick replacement, i'm NOT using a phone that pretends to work - esp since without reception i effectively don't have a phone.
I sincerely hope the 2nd generation phone is better off.
