Pros: Small, light, tons of features, sounds great

The Bottom Line: I'm not saying this is the best phone out there, but when you take into account price, features, talk time, etc...It's worth a look.

| monters's Full Review: Kyocera QCP 2035a Cell Phone |
I'd been using a Nokia 252 for the last year, but since it's analog only, I upgraded to a digital phone this year. I only had 3 to pick from that went with the nationwide coverage plan I was looking for: Motorola Talkabout, Motorola StarTac, and the 2035. The Talkabout was awkward feeling and just plain ugly, and the StarTac was out of my price range, being nearly $200 even with a 2 year contract. So I went with the Kyocera 2035. I admit I was a bit skeptical since it was only $10, but I figured why not.
After using it for a few days, I am glad I bought it. It's small, light, has great battery life, sounds just as good as any land line phone, and has yet to be unable to acquire a digital signal anywhere I've been (not bad for rural Nebraska).
The phone has a ton of features including the usual contact book, multiple ringers, caller id and so forth that you find on most newer phones these days. But it also has some features that many phones do not have. Such as the ability to store multiple numbers per contact, along with home addresses and other info. The calculator, tip calculator, stopwatch, and alarm clock are great features. It even has a game to keep you occupied when you're stuck waiting with nothing to do. The phone is web enabled, although I don't personally use that feature.
The only negative thing I've found so far is a rather flimsy antenna. But that's been the case with all Qualcomm/Kyocera phones I've seen. And in my case, I don't even need it as long as I've got a digital signal. If you do happen to break the antenna and can't get them to replace it under warranty, the cost is only $10 anyway, so it's not that big of a deal.
All in all this is a great phone that I'd recommend to anybody. I'm looking forward to putting it to good use.
