| Vince84404's Full Review: Kyocera QCP 2035a Cell Phone |
For anyone interested in a cheap web-enabled phone this is definetly the way to go. I picked this one up at my work a few days ago and I have just been blown away at the many features this phone has to offer.
We all know that the popularity of Nokia cellular phones exploded because of a just a few things:
1. The changeable faceplates. The Kyocera 2035 is the first phone since Nokia (to the best of my knowledge) to offer a solid, user-friendly changeable faceplate.
2. The overall ease of use - the Kyocera is certainly not a difficult phone to use but I wouldnt put it in the hands of a 4th grader either.
3. The games: the Nokia 5185 came with 3 games: Memory, Logic, and Snake. The Kyocera comes with one but in my opinion its better than all 3 of Nokia's put together. Its the old "Arkanoid" game that was also called "Block" in the arcades a long time ago. A very Atari-esque game, but addictive nonetheless.
On top of that the 2035 also includes a Rolodex that will store 200 "contacts". Each "contact" card will hold 5 phone numbers, a street address, an email address, and a note. It also allows you to classify your contacts as business and personal and set different ringers for each contact type.
Where the 2035 really excels is where cellular carriers are trying to focus at this point: Wireless Web. When you press the menu key on this phone the first menu option actually is Wireless Web, which pretty much says to me that this phone was designed specifically to have that as the secondary purpose (the primary of course being calls).
The battery on the 2035 is exceptional. It comes equipped with a small, yet surprisingly powerful Lithium-Ion battery. Having a Li-Ion battery means no more waiting for the battery to go dead before you can charge it, and a long life in a small, lightweight unit.
Finally, a quick look at what the phone was actually made for: making and receiving calls. Since all of the parts for this phone are made by Qualcomm you can expect no less than the highest quality from it in all areas, especially reception.
