| L.Theman's Full Review: Sprint TouchPoint 2200 Cell Phone |
Ok, so maybe the saying is sliced bread, but sliced milk gets your attention a little better.
The Sprint PCS Dual Band Touchpoint 2200
Sprint has done it again. Sprint PCS has their Touchpoint model phones made just for them, and they throw everything they can into them, and the 2200 is no exception. It would be pointless to try and list all that this phone can do in this one review, so I won't try, but I will give you a summary of what sets this phone apart.
First, the Touchpoint has a speaker phone built into it. The phone works handsfree, so there is no need to buy a headset. The phone does have a headset jack, though, if you still want to use one.
Next, the phone has a ton of ringer options. Now, you might say there is no need for all those ringers, but the Touchpoint allows you to program a specific ringer to a specific number. For example, if your spouse calls, you can know who it is the without even looking, because they will have their own special ringer. You can also program your own ringers with your own voice, to say anything you want, up to three.
The phone also has a personal scheduler in it, wireless internet, and you can activate the phones features with the sound of your voice using the phones voice command.
But...
I said I would not waste your time listing a ton of features on the phone (and it does have a ton.) So let me move on to how well the phone works.
The phone, like I said, works with Sprint PCS service. This means
it works off of CDMA digital technology. What this means is that it works off the best available digital service, which lets your phone have the clearest reception possible. Keep in mind, though, Sprint does not have service everywhere, so make sure the phone will work where you need it to. The phone sounds as clear as your home phone most of the time.
The phone is also durable. It is the most indestructible phone on the market. So if you are rough on your phones, this could be the model for you. It also has a 200 hour stand-by life on the battery, that's about 8 days, and that is just the standard battery, so you can use the phone all you want without having to worry about if the battery is going to die on you..
Just A Few More
Ok, so I fibbed a little. Here are just a few more feature, in easy list form...
1. Video Games.
2. Voice memo recorder (helps if someone is giving you directions.)
3. Phone book holds 300 name in 120 spots. You can store more than one number for each person.
4. The phone is light and small. Can fit almost anywhere.
One downside, the phone only comes in green, but there is a blue model in the works. So there is one little downside on color choice, other than that, this is one of the best phones out there. I can guarantee, if you have the Touchpoint 2200, nobody will have a phone with more features.
