Pros: Color screen, polyphonic ringers,sturdy feel

I bought this phone in December 2002; I sent in my Nokia 3285 to get the $100.00 rebate. So, the phone only cost $100, and after another promo I got a price adjustment and the grand total was $50. Unbeatable. Considering Nextel charges $250 for their...

Pros: Excellent reception
Cons: Very poor battery life, runs out during the course of my normal day

I bought this phone as a long awaited upgrade to my Timeport 8767. I was looking forward to better reception and longer battery life. I got 50% of what I wanted.

Pros: Excellent screen/ Gets decent reception/ Big compared to other flips/ Pretty solid phone (not flimsy)
Cons: Limited "gadget" features/ Ringers aren't loud / Limited battery/ Pretty big compared to others

This is a pretty good, middle of the road phone. I've had mine for about 5 months now and haven't had any problems. The battery isn't great, but there's not a lot that are. Won't blow you away with features, but the price is ok (what you'll pay on eBay anyways...)

Its a little bigger than most flip phones, which can be a good or bad thing depending who you are.

The menus take some getting used to, but they're easy to learn and easy to use once you learn them.

When extended, the antenna (its as long as the phone) provides a good laugh.

Pros: screen, looks, reception, voice quality
Cons: standard battery sucks, but beg for extended life bat.

ive had this phone for about 6 months and i have loved it. i have alltel service which is the best service in the US. the only complaint i have...or had was the battery. thanks to the guy at alltel i got a hookup with the extended life battery.

Pros: Speaker phone.
Cons: Does not work as designed.

Good phone, but has major software flaws with wireless web application and email access. You cannot access many popular sites using this phone wireless web, including ebay. Also, there is a problem with how it access AOL's email system. You can get to your AOL email, but the phone will only display the first screen of the message. The other text disappear as you scroll down the message and you can't read the rest of the text.

Verizon and Audiovox are finger pointing at each other and the consumer is stuck with a phone that doesn't function to spec.
