| amy9545's Full Review: Sprint TouchPoint 2200 Cell Phone |
My TP2200 was my very first cell phone. I am still using this phone. I keep searching for a new phone...simply for a change...but I havent found one that compares with mine.
Its very easy to use...and with so many different features.
Did you know you can assign different ringers to different people? You can create folders in your phone book. Work, Family, Friends, etc. Then assign a specific ringer to each folder. So you always have an idea who is calling before you even look at the caller ID. Or you can even go more specific then that....give people their very own ringer....you will know who is calling without even having to look! You can also set different ringers for new voicemail alerts and browser messages...roaming calls can even have a distinctive ringer.
For each phone book entry...you can put in many different numbers. You can give each number a label...Work, home, mobile, pager and fax. You can also set call alarms for each entry....let the phone tell you to call Mom on sunday at 7pm. You can sort the entries in your phone book to sort with last names first, or vice versa.
There are 3 buttons on the side which are very handy. If your phone rings while in class, or in some other public place, and you want to silence the ringer easily...no buttons and menus to fumble with. You just press one of the side buttons and the ringer is silenced. Those buttons also let you change your ringer volume easily...you press the top one to turn it up....press the bottom one to tune it down.
The battery life is awesome. I've had friends comment on how they could never talk for hours on their phone...the batteries would never last that long. I spend hours on my phone....worrying about a dead battery is never an issue.
The speaker phone is handy when checking voice mail. I have never tried to have a conversation with it though.
Somebody else said you could not talk while charging...because the cell phone sits upright in a base. Well, there is a way around this sort of...but a headset...you wont be able to move far from the phone...but if you are just sitting there....it works well.
The phone feels sturdy. I've seen so many cell phones that just look and feel so fragile. That is not the case with this one. I've dropped it many times...and its as good as new. Its comfortable to hold.
I absolutely love this phone.
Update: I recently bought a new phone. The Samsung N400. Read my review on the new phone:
