| koka's Full Review: i1000plus Cell Phone |
We switched from a standard one-piece phone to this flip phone. At first, I thought the ear piece (the part that flips up) might be fragile, but it fits to your ear comfortably. You can't really talk on this phone by resting it on your shoulder; you really need to be holding it. However, there is a speaker-phone feature for all your calls. I especially like the direct-connect feature (walkie-talkie).
The speaker phone is nice, however it is hard for the person on the other end to hear you unless you have the phone within arms' reach. Reception is also much worse with speaker phone or direct connect.
The menu features are nice and plentiful, but the interface leaves much to be desired. This is not something you can just pick up and figure out. You definitely need to read the manual for some of the features. It's not very easy to figure out right away how to store numbers, how to retrieve them, or how to dial, etc. I still don't know how to use lower-case letters or punctuation, if you can at all. After a couple of days, you should be able to pick up using most of the features without too much difficulty.
