| scoopmorris's Full Review: Kyocera 2255 Cell Phone |
When my other phone took a nose dive into Crapville, I decided it was time to get a new phone. I had had the other phone for three or four years, so I knew it was really outdated.
I picked myself up off the couch and went to Circuit City to see what they had in cell phones. When I got there, I was surprised to learn they made phones that were touch-tone now instead of the old fall back of rotary.
It amused me.
I started playing around on the phones and a couple of sales guys came over to pretend to hit on me to make a sale. Hum. I wondered if I should tell them I used to sell the stuff and knew what I was doing.
Well, one of the guys had a Kyocera 2255 on him and I started playing on it.
'This phone is it,' I thought to myself. It has all the games that I require to play in church and the ringer can be muted when I don't want to pick up a call.
"I'll take it," I told the guy. I took my phone home, re-programmed all my numbers into it and had a field-day.
A couple of months later, the battery wouldn't charge and I had to take it back. Circuit City was supposed to give me a new one or fix my old one since it was still under the 90-day warranty, but they were out.
A good sign that the phone was a good one, in my opinion.
Well, I got some crappy deal from Sony and took it home, not really pleased, but then, it did have a couple of neat games on it.
Well, that phone went back to Circuit City three days later. It sucked. You never realize you have a good thing until it's gone. I told the sales person that I wanted a Kyocera 2255 and that I wouldn't take anything else.
Sure, it doesn't pick up a signal in some place around town, but I think that may have something to do with the service. The antenna is really flimsy and I am always picking it up by that little piece of plastic, but overall, I am very pleased with the dang thing.
That's why I waited a week for a new one to come in.
My Kyocera has everything. Neat ringers. Travel charger. Blue screen.
They say blue and green are calming.
I have to agree. When I am loosing at Brick Attack in church, I am not nearly as prone to shout and get hyper as I used to be.
