I was sick and tired of getting the phone that within a month, Cingular would have it as their "go phone/pre-paid phone" and wouldn't offer much support with it. I decided to dig deep in my pockets and purchase this phone, along with a special offer of free bluetooth set, free car charger, and a $50 rebate. The rebates now come in the form of Visa Cards. They are good to pay for ringtones, or anything that is less than $50.
To the phone itself:
Pros:
* Very thin phone that you can place in your pockets
* Itunes capability to put up to 100 songs on it (that is if you can make it past 20...see below)
* You can actually now save your ringtones onto a memory card or to the phone. Easier to take your tones with you if you ever switch phones.
* Variety of colors
* Save movies, photos, and more
* You can plug it into your computer to charge it.
Cons:
* Heavier than expected for it to be this thin
* Battery runs down fast if you play the MP3s a lot.
* Mine does not hold more than 20 songs in it.
* Speaker to carry conversation is VERY weak. Speaker to listen to music is very loud. I don't get the justification on this. What is the point of having speaker to talk if you can't hear a word even with the other person pretty much yelling?
* Bluetooth was not loud and it was like I had the phone to my ear. Salesman told me that it was louder than talking with speaker.
* The signal is poor at times and sometimes it takes 3 times to call someone before it connects on your end, even though the other person has picked up and been hung up on.
* Photos are not of good quality when uploaded to computer
* Even when phone is on silent, when you go to charge it (plug in, car, or via computer) you get a very loud beep. This can be very annoying.
* Contrary to the belief, you cannot use any or part of your mp3s as a ringtone.
* MP3s must be I-tunes capable. No WMA files allowed.
Overall, I would not recommend this phone as it is obviously overpriced for the features that don't work. I was shocked that for this to be a thinner phone that it was as heavy as it was. It was like Motorola took a step backwards. If you are looking for a phone to play MP3s (which you cannot use as ringtones), I would wait until this one is cheaper than $100 to purchase. Otherwise, you are wasting your money.
