Budget priced digital phone for those that don't need the extras

by maceyr Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jan 08 '03
Pros: cheap, durable, reliable phone with two-way SMS messaging and voice mail
Cons: doesn't have all the bells and whistles of fancier phones, no games or web browsing
It's been years since I've owned and used a phone. The last one was those old analog phones in the old days of analog cell phone lines. Since I tend to travel around periodically to Vancouver to visit friends and relatives, I wanted to be able to keep i ...

Think wireless

by ss3goku , Aug 07 '01
Pros: Design, covers, light weight
Cons: rather wide, no free roaming wireless web or organizor programs
To be honest, this is my first cell phone in which I have ever owned. Of course I know others with cell phones and I’m very familiar with them, but I never really saw myself as the kind of person to actually own one, heck I rarely even used them. I...

Old Reliable

by joannabenz , Aug 08 '02
Pros: Motorola durability, signal strength
Cons: Needs more rings before going to voicemail -- not adjustable
Excellent call quality. Good headset jack. Good physical coverage nationally through AT&T.

I bought Motorola because of their fine rep, and haven't been sorry. After 18 months of use, I have only failed to get a roaming signal on two...

A one-year phone for a one-year plan

by fritz_t_coyote , Sep 19 '02
Pros: Cheap. Available. Works with my network. Inexpensive 3rd party accessories.
Cons: Pathetic Keyboard lock, lousy battery life, vulnerable antenna, no vibrator.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Last September, I, like a lot of New Yorkers, was spending a bunch of time using my mobile phone. I couldn't get back to my downtown office for nearly a month. So I was camping in borrowed space...

Great phone for the price

by Boscorocks , Mar 15 '01
Pros: Good battery life, nice size, good reception
Cons: Hard to read top of display, batteries don't have separate charger
This phone appears to be the same as the Motorola v2297. It comes with AT&Ts prepaid package. I got it on sale at a local store and it was only $19.95 after the $30 rebate offer. It is a great phone, especially for the price.
I do not use a cell...

Great Phone for Flexibility!!

by patrick194 , Apr 06 '01
Pros: No bills, no statements, and plenty of free services!
Cons: Cannot connect to devices. Options on phone limited due to type of service.
The Motorola V2397 AT&T Prepaid cell phone is my second cell and the best one I think I could ever have. The main reason for my purchasing is that there are no bills or
statements. You don't have to deal with contacts like a regular service. Just...

The Carson Daly banana/peanut/wave phone!!

by rikkigirl , Apr 28 '01
Pros: cute design, many free additions
Cons: only 9 ring styles, no games (like nokia)
I bought this phone on a prepaid phone plan (I wasn't expecting to use it much) and it came with all options for free. This includes text-messaging, email capability, caller ID, voice mail.
Programming numbers into the phone book is a snap, as is...

The phone that won't flake out on you

by joannabenz , May 25 '02
Pros: Durable, lightweight, great sound quality, easy to use.
Cons: Sometimes only rings 1-2 times (not adjustable); phone wraps obscure screen
I've had this phone for about a year now, and am very satisfied. It's been very reliable. Has survived being dropped 3 ft onto carpet several times with no problem.

It WAS flaky for a short time due to overcharging on the Motorola car...

Good phone for the money

by pde99 , Aug 24 '02
Pros: Easy to operate, durable, stylish, good phone for a small price.
Cons: No silent ring.
I've owned the Motorola v2397 for about 6 months now, and I must say I am very happy. The one small downfall I found with this phone was that it was difficult to program at first, and the menus were a little hard to find and confusing. But, once you...

Dependable; good value

by eddyrt , Nov 12 '01
Pros: Rugged, dependable, 2-Way Text Messaging as well as voice, good value
Cons: Left side of display sometimes difficult to read.
The Motorola V2397 is a good, dependable phone for the money. It will send and receive short text messages, has a 99 number phone book, memories for calls received & dialed, and more.

Over a year ago, I signed up with AT&T Wireless and bought...

Decent basic phone

by mdbrown , Mar 17 '02
Pros: Changeable faceplates, good battery life, large display, inexpensive
Cons: Clunky navigation, light on features, no internet
This phone was my interim phone and I only lived with it for a few months. In that time I learned to love and hate it. On the love side was the large, legible display, the good reception, and the option of replacing the faceplate. On the hate side is the...

You get what you pay for

by z28power , Aug 14 '02
Pros: Cheap phone, good bang for your buck, appealing look
Cons: Skimpy on features other phones have. - Difficult to navigate phone without learning the "shortcuts"
I got this phone when I signed up for my AT&T Plan about 1.5 years back. The phone had a great deal, and I ended up paying next to nothing for the phone. It was nice at first, until my friend got another phone for less than mine, with better features....

Cool looking, but a piece of garbage.

by S1N3ddW17 , Aug 23 '01
Pros: Attractive Cosmetic Look
Cons: Few Features, Lack of Compatibility, Many more
I first saw this phone on the AT&T website and it seemed like a good phone. I purchased service at my local mall and chose this phone over others because, frankly, I liked how it looked.

The first time I used this phone I already began to...

Love This Phone!

by jess_0421 , Jul 10 '01
Pros: Cute! Easy to talk on. Clearer than most other phones. Great phone for your money!
Cons: It doesn't have games. Not as many accessories as other phones.
I got traded an old Ericson of mine in for this phone on my prepaid plan, and I absolutely love it! You can hear well, you don't have talk loud for other people to hear you. It doesn't cut out and is clearer than most other phones like it. I haven't had...
