Pros: Clear reception, light weight, and you're able to change the banner.
Cons: Accessing voice mail is bothersome, and there's a small selection of ring tones.
The Bottom Line: This phone will work for almost anyone out there, but will probably come in more use for businessmen, and the teenagers should stick with the nokias.

| ZAL's Full Review: Kyocera QCP 2035a Cell Phone |
The first test that I performed on the cell phone was the comfortness of pressing the buttons, which is probably one of the most important aspects of a cell phone. I chose the Kyocera QCP 2035a over the free phone that came with the plan because when you push the button in, you can actually feel the button being pressed in, which is very reassuring. The phone itself has a very quality feel to it, which is an important factor to think about when purchasing one.
After passing the button test, the next important test of course is reception. Perhaps the most annoying thing in the whole entire world is when you're talking to someone who has a cell phone and you're struggling to put their words together. I can't stand that, so I was prepared to return this phone right away if that was a problem. The phone impressed me immediately, when I made my first phone call in poor weather, and I almost forgot that I was talking on a cell phone. So it passed the test of reception, and the rest are just bells and whistles.
Creating a phone book and saving phone numbers is incredibly easy, and for once you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure any of it out. Another important feature of this phone, especially for movie go-ers, is the silent or vibrating feature. There is also a keyguard so that buttons do not get pressed if the phone is in your pocket or purse. Accessing voice mail can be bothersome because you have to go through more then you should have to just to hear a five second message.
There is a "Tools" section on the phone that has an alarm clock, a normal and a tip calculator, a countdown feature, a stopwatch, and a fun game called brick attack. You don't necessarily need these features, but it's just icing on the cake for this phone. Despite its drawbacks, the phone is very reliable, and looks good too.
