Ok, I might get this phone for my Birthday. So i showd it to my brother, he said it looks stupid or "geeky" with the keyboard. But I "personally" have seen it and used it and I love it. But I'd like to know your guy's opinions. So "Stupid" or "Cool"?

Thanks for your time

when i saw what it looked like, my immediate thought was "fugly" - having said that, i haven't seen it in real life.

it wouldn't get you chix but i'd say if it does everything you want, be different and get it. i can't stand the current iPhone bollox and i'd rather see someone walking down the street with this phone any day

Yea another reason it would be cool is because not many people i know have it, unlike my phone i have now (razor). And I usualy dont buy phones thinking that they will get chicks for me, i just use my stunning looks and charm .

[Hi]

It's cool if you think it's cool, don't let anyone else spoil your fun.

The problem I see is the big round set of buttons right in the middle of the keyboard. It looks like it would be hard to type on. But, again, I'm only seeing a tiny picture. Go to a store. Pick one up. Push things. If you like it, go for it.

This is one of the most mature, and absurdly correct posts I've read on this board. I 100% agree with you.

Wegehop, if you like it, screw everyone else and their "opinions". I think it's a pretty cool looking phone. And if it can play mp3's, videos, and you can download "free" games to it, then I would say definitely go for it. I just got a Nokia 5300, and it has all these features, and it's the best phone I've ever had. I've got over a hundred games on it.

So definitely, get the phone. Especially since you're getting it for your B-Day, it's going to be free. So you have nothing to lose.

ok this is my opinion but with anything technical I like to know what im getting ..........



ummmmm IM CHAT ?!  rule of the thumb always read the fine print!!!

no its still text messaging

Airtime charges apply when downloading Axcess IM. Text Messaging service required. The charges for Text Messaging service will vary depending on your plan. Every instant message sent and received will count against your Text Messaging plan.

so its not really text messaging its what most mobiles have its called CHAT>  well at least on SE mobiles it is and its nothing more than TEXTING just pretending to be some kinda cool chat program

@h8uthmost wheres the free download of games !?

Axcess Apps have several pricing options:
Free trial demo so you can try it before you buy it
Pay per use
Unlimited usage

Most apps take 2-3 minutes to download and will be billed to your Alltel account. The number of apps you can store on a phone varies by model.

each to their own but not for me ...my main gripe would be screensize

even my K750I has a bigger screen 176x220

the screen of this is ..

External Display - 128 x 128 Pixels, Over 65,000 Colors Displayed

Color Main Display - 160 x 128 Pixels, Over 65,000 Colors Displayed

for a phone with a keyboard PDA Kinda style I would expect a larger screen at least in the open position

the camera is VGA which is pretty pants for todays standards 2 megapixel is the must have minimum now

other poor points comparing to most phones out today .. no music player no memory card

not been able to find any kinda specs to how much internal memory it has

and more on the ringtones side its based mainly on polyphonic tones it does do REAL tones but real tones are NOT MP3 they are WAV pcm format much the same way as pc desktop theme sounds and only short clips not full tracks

again this is my view /opinion and that is what the thread header asks
