Kyocera 1135 Cell Phone

Pros: Nice features, backlit, compact size, holds a charge.
Cons: Has some of the same issues as the Kyocera 2135

The Kyocera series of phones are basic but more than suitable for the cell phone user that doesn’t want or need every new gadget or piece of technology. I own the Ky ocera 2135 that I have with Verizon through ...

Pros: Easy to use, good sound quality, long battery life, attractive and lightweight phone
Cons: Limited features such as no speaker phone and no web-browsing, extremely sensitive to water

The 1135 is Kyocera's new bottom-of-the-line phone. I recieved it for free with a contract in January of 2003. Since I am on my third 1135 (I have a problem with losing things). Basically the 1135 is a 2035a with a makeover. (Kyocera's 2035 is the ...

Pros: get this phone free. gets the job done.
Cons: if you want a camera, this phone won't get the job done.

Seriously. This is the nicest piece of junk I've ever used. I got it for free and it works great. The only catch is that I had to sign onto my family's Sprint PCS phone plan at $20 per month. It has turned out to be a great deal. But how about ...

Pros: Hmm well does not break when falls
Cons: is a oven

I bought this around 2 months back, wanted to check the CDMA technology, got rid of my faithful Nokia 5110 (india we have both GSM and CDMA coexist and picked kyocera (I thought they invented the technology, so bynow they would have understood to make...

Pros: None that I can think of
Cons: Phone appears to have a built in obsolesence. Malfunctions after one year.

Completely went out on me a little less than one month after warranty expired. I purchased the item on recommendation of Cellular One, who claimed it was the only phone that would work in our remote area. I am obviously unhappy with the situation. Certain functions of the phone never did work right, and now nothing works. All saved numbers were either erased or just a portion of them remained. It did not even save my own number to access messages. After 3 days of having the phone not functioning, I found out that a family member had passed away, and I had missed the funeral. Thanks Kyocera.
I purchased a new battery for nearly $40.00, and still the phone does not work. I feel that for $180.00 ( not to mention $40.00 battery and additional new $16.00 cord ), this phone should have lasted more than a year.

Sincerely,
V. Leno

Pros: Backlit blue screen, Ease of use, durability
Cons: No extras

This is a wonderful phone for anyone who doesn't require a bunch of extras. I use my phone just as a phone, no need for all the extras and it has been great! I have had this phone for 2.5 years with absolutely no problems. My previous phones would stop working properly before my contract was up, this one lasted longer than my contract. It's very easy to use and really love the blue backlighting.

Pros: Blue back lighting, reception and clarity, and the battery life.
Cons: Games, you can only personalize ring tones by groups-not individuals, battery charging.

I got this after a very satisfied run with an Audiovox CDM9100 phone. I had finally killed that one off after 3 run ins with the washing machine and many drops on to the concrete.

I must say that this phone can take abuse just as well as the Audiovox and after a year and a half is still in use. I travel everyday about 30 miles and I never had a problem with reception or clarity on the road. The menus are easy to get used and i like that you can choose your icon size.

I don't really use the phone for games but if you did you would be disappointed by it only having one. The ringtones are decent, but nothing spectacular.

All in all I've been completely satisfied with the phone, all in all, it's a phone, not a toy and it does what they are intended to.
