| jbhut's Full Review: Qualcomm QPC-860 Cell Phone |
Qualcomm
QCP-860
This is one terrific phone. I will describe the phone in three ways. The phone style and usability, the specifications of the phone, and then the plan.
The Phone
It is a thin black phone, mine is anyways. It is about an inch wide and 4.5 inches tall. It has an etendable antenna, durable, not loose, and it screws off for easy replacement. it has 22 key. Two on the side and twenty on the front. The two on the side are scrolling buttons to manuver through the program and systems information. The keys on the front are the normal standard keys plus a mail, voice mail, and fax quick key button. A information key, and two other navigation keys for the program. The program is really nifty. It has a keyguard, sounds, call info, security, features, display, alerts, and systems area. I do not need to go into depth in these topics I think you know what they are.

The cool feature is the Internet capability on the quick mail button. Click it and then one of the navigation buttons will say Net, it will take you to the Net if you have that service plan. The LED panel is 5 stacks high with a lot of information. The date, a personalized banner, the time, two navigation areas, anteanna strength, if you have mail awareness area, battery life and a few others.

I did specifications and usability in the same paragraph, sorry if it caused a problem. Here are some more specifications: Digital, by Qualcomm, weighs 4.23 oz., standby battery life is 96 hours, talking battery life is about 150 minutes. I have not found any problems with this phone. I find it useful for me, because it fits in my back pocket and does not annoy me, it does not fall out because of size, height, and is big enough to get a grip on, not like some of those very tiny phones where you cant even press the keys. I like this phone very much.
Service Plan
The service plan depends on the one you get. I find it very useful in state-to-state calls and roaming. I can't get a signal sometimes, maybe because I am with verizon and not another. I haven't come across any problems with this service plan. I highly recommend this durable phone with many features, it also has a phone book, and a list of who has called you (caller Id if they aren't blocked).
Regards,
