Pros: slim design, durability, call clarity
Cons: losing signal turns off keyguard
The Bottom Line: You can not go wrong buying an 860. Even an absent-minded person like me hasn't been able to destroy it with two washer and dryer cycles.

| squigsdad's Full Review: Qualcomm QPC-860 Cell Phone |
I got this phone free with activation and expected it to be the free cheap things I have been used to in the past. How wrong I was! This phone can stand up to all others in its price range and its durability will most likely leave all others in the dust.
The slim design makes it very easy to fit in a pocket and hardly know you have a phone there. Turn on keyguard and you'll have no problems unless you lose your signal. Losing signal causes keyguard to go off and the next time your keys come in contact with a button too long you'll find yourself making a fifteen minute call to your parents' answering machine. Watch what you're saying! The microphone has great range and was able to pick up an entire conversation which my Mom played back later to my embarrassment. Moms shouldn't hear those things about their sons.
Durability is my favorite feature of this phone. It has been dropped more than I'd like to admit, been through washer and dryer cycles twice and been run over in my apartment parking lot and it still works! Other than the couple dozen scratches in the cover and the numbers that have been rubbed off the buttons, it still is as good as the day I took it out of the box.
If you're looking for a new cell, you can't go wrong with this one.
