Kyocera QCP 2760 Cell Phone

Pros: Slim, rugged, easy to use. Excellent performer. Anti-hip styling. A bargain used or reconditioned.
Cons: Average battery life. Anti-hip styling.

I have come to appreciate the functional goodness of this phone and its accessories compared to much newer, feature bloated models I've tested. Reception is always hard to gauge accurately because it depends upon signal strength, but I have had relatively ...

Pros: Thinness. It fits well in my purse.
Cons: Poor sound reliability. No vibrating mode. Signal strength touchy. Short battery life. Flimsy antenna.

I'm currently on my second phone in this model. The first one went dead on me--I could hear them, but no one could hear me. Fortunately it was within the warranty period and it was replaced after much griping and haggling with Sprint. (That's another...

Pros: Very thin and lightweight. Very good reception. Clear hearing and large volume span.
Cons: No built-in headset jack. No vibration.

I got a QCP 2760 in February 2001, because my service provider was giving it for free with a 6 months service contract and it seemed to be a good phone to me. It was my second cell phone, the first one having been a Nokia.

When I got it, it...

Pros: Light, durable, and cute in a silly way.
Cons: Tricky shape to squeeze against shoulder, no vibrate option.

Before I get started here, until about...

Pros: Very user-friendly.
Cons: Lacks certain features and the charge connection is not very durable.

If you're the type of person who keeps a cell phone around for emergencies only, then you'll like this Qualcomm. For starters, it's very easy to use. I don't think I even had to pick up the manual to figure out how to use any of the features. It's very...

Pros: Small, lightweight, thin, good reception, solid construction, free with plan!
Cons: Battery life could be better.

I must be honest... I did not buy this phone. My mother in law bought it as part of a "family" plan. Since my wife and I live in a different area code, she got a new cell plan with two free phones, and all calls made between these three phones (includin ...

Pros: Thin and light. Good sound quality. Dual Band. Battery built in!
Cons: Wireless Web function is very hard to use. No built in headset jack.

This phone is thin. That means it slips into a pants pocket and you hardly notice it is there. The sound quality is good. The volume can be very loud if you like it that way.

This is a basic phone. You get all the basic options, such as...

Pros: Durable, easy to use, easy to hold between ear and shoulder
Cons: Doesn't last long when signal is weak.

I bought this phone about 10 months from SprintPCS store. It was the cheapest one at the time, but the reason I bought it was the design. I paid $80 for it and got $50 rebate back with a year contract.

Ease of use, smart buttons...

Pros: Clear sound, lightweight, very thin, strong signals
Cons: no vibrating ring, short battery life, charging cord has issues.

When I was looking for a cellphone, basically, the aesthetics didn't matter too much to me. I went to Circuit City, found a phone for under $100. I also wanted the phone to be dual band. Other than that, as long as it seemed easy to use, I was happy....

Pros: Small, simple, easy to use
Cons: Very strong magnet in ear piece, difficult headset

A word of caution when buying this phone.

Just by chance, I had my Qualcomm (now owned by Kyocera) QCP 2760 cell phone (which I purchased in December of 2000 from Qwest Communications) in my purse along with some bobby pins (I usually keep my...

Pros: EXCELLENT CLARITY, Durable, Long lasting.
Cons: Flimsy antenna, Length

I've had many cell phones...over the past 4 years...ranging first from Motorola, to Ericsson, to Qualcomm.

On overall quality, they've all held their own. But now, with Qualcomm, the bar has been raised for what really counts...SOUND QUALITY!...

Pros: thin, awesome sound quality,low price, perfect!
Cons: battery life not as long as i would like

I first had the Samsung 3500, then a Nokia, then I had the Kyocera 2035. I basically just use the phone to talk, so why did I need to spend any more money when I can get everything I need in this little phone??

The biggest difference between...

Pros: The Qualcomm QCP-2760 is a very lightweight, sleek and user friendly phone.
Cons: The battery in this phone is very weak, and dies quickly.

It was March 16, 2001, when i got my very first cell phone. My father bought it for me since i had just turned eighteen and had not established credit. Now if i would have been my father shopping for the phone, I am pretty sure that the Qualcomm...

Pros: Small, user friendly, good clarity and dependable. I love the built-in battery!
Cons: Not very stylish, not many ringer types, wish antenna was built in.

I've had my 2760 for over a year and although all my friends are carrying bright, wild phones, I'm glad that I can hear out of my phone and it's always been so trustworthy! I've dropped it I don't know how many times and it hasn't given me any trouble....
