Nice!!.... | |
| Ok, for all those people complaining about this phone, you guys do not know what you are talking about. First of all, the external LCD does light up and it displays Caller ID. Second, the keypad does light up too. Third, the battery life is very descent requiring you don't use as an MP3 player always. The talk time and stand by time is good. Finally, the volume is very clear and loud. Pros: I like the Windows software making it easy to navigate if you are familiar with Windows. Having Windows Media Player in the phone is excellent. I can play MP3 on it (the phone converts it into WMA.) I also like that you can hook it up to your PC and copy and paste files in the phone. There's a slot for a mulitmedia/secure digital card (this is where I save my musics.) On a 16MB card, you can only fit about 4-5 songs. The screen is excellent and very sharp; the best I've seen so far. It has speakerphone and voice recorder capabilities, which comes in handy for me. It comes with a stereo headphones which is also a headset for talking. The cradle is excellent which connects it to your USB and charges your phone at the same time. You can also download the theme creator from Microsoft so you can customized your phone according to how you want it. Cons: The service sucks: Wireless and Customer Care. I'm trying to port or transfer my cingular number and so far it's been taking forever and that's just trying to contact At&t. I was on hold for 2 hours so I tried again the next day and waited for another 3 hours. Then the customer rep screwed up the porting and gave me two accounts. HELLOOOOO, I only have one phone....Geez..I swear I went from one rep to another and another and another trying to fix this. They told me I need to buy another SIM card for their screw up. They did credit me for it. They suck big time. They even screwed up my plan, also. After all of this I ended up giving the account to my mother. I got my MPX200 unlocked and used my T-Mobile SIM card. I'm very happy with the phone through T-Mobile. Oh yeah, At&t won't unlock my phone. They said they do not do that. They are so full of it. I paid somebody to unlock my MPX200. Did you know T-Mobile unlock their phones without any questions? Unlike At&t, they are very good in customer service. Ok, the phone tends to lag from time to time when you have many applications running. That's all. Again, very happy with this phone while on the T-Mobile network. | |
CLOSE BUT NO CIGAR | |
| Because of work, I keep all my calendar and contacts information in Miscrosoft outlook. Not wanting to carry both a PDA and phone to meetings, and wanting the Outlook syncing capability, I bought this phone. Here is my overall review: The Good - Phone design. Sleek flip phone The Bad - Display choices are limited. The Ugly - THE CALLER ID on the external LCD does NOT work. After 18 calls to various ATT reps, I finally spoke with Motorola who told me that it is a glitch in the phone as soon as the handset is synced with outlook. Let me understand this - Motorola designs a phone to be compatible with Outlook but then if you sync, you no longer have access to the external Caller ID screen. The price for the phone here is cheap but you are going to have to decide if you are willing to go all these problems with the phone. | |

| The phone is very good. However, the service isn't. I moved from Sprint to AT&T GSM. I didn't see that much difference in service. Both are almost same (AT&T is little bit better). Good things about this phone: Outlook Sync, Expandable (SD Card), Installing new programs, Auto Profile. Good things about the service: No roaming charge for National service plans thought USA, Your phone works on any GSM network (Cingular, T-Mobile, etc). |
