V3m is great, but not perfect
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
I've owned this phone for a few months now, and can safely write a review with the knowledge I've gained.
The phone (OEM) lacks alot of features (using Verizon) that other carriers allow, but can easily be modded to change/add/unlock features.
Sprint doesn't block these festures like Verizon does. There is also an "Alltel" firmware that is available (search).
I modded my phone, and can now make my own ring tones (free), transfer pictures/videos/movies (free) using MPT (Mobile Phone Tools).
Once all the features are "unlocked" using SEEM edits (search) this phone simply becomes "GREAT"!
The phone itself it sleek, thin, but almost unbearably w i d e.
The built-in camera is decent at best, but lack of any flash makes taking any worthy pictures almost impossible, unless outdoors in sunlight. But even then, over-exposure is a problem. Definately use a regular ol' camera if you want a decent picture.
Movies can be recorded as well, but are limited to 15 seconds, unless you "mod" the phone, and then you can get almost 5 minutes of video!
Overall I'd have to say this phone is built for modders in mind, as once done so the phone is 150% better than OEM.
Before I modded this phone, I nearly sent it back to Verizon because of all the disabled features that only Verizon disables. If you use another carrier, then you should be fairly happy with OEM.
The battery....well, it is horrible, but again, can be made acceptable with "mods".
And last but not least..FREE WAP!! (again, with mods).
Good OEM phone, GREAT modded phone.
Digital only, so the signal will usually be lower than Tri-Mode phones, but depending on your area this may or may not be a problem.
