Customer Reviews:

Big features in a small phone.......2007-01-06

To start this review off I would like to give myself a little bit of reviewing credit. I have owned many phones ranging from Motorola, Samsung, Nokia, LG just to name a few. I LOVE THIS PHONE. From the minute I picked up its extremely small, Lightweight frame, and big bright graphic screen i was in love. Cosmetics are awesome. Very hard shell on the outside. I have dropped it on concrete several times and hardly even a scratch. This is honestly the best phone I have ever owned.

Pros: Small!! Full of features!! Great reception, Sync capable, Bluetooth, inferred, USB connection, loud speakers, Business or for pleasure this phone is Great! When talking on the phone people look twice! Highly recommended.

Cons: Maybe price for some, hard to find sometimes, sometimes the phone glitches and a reboot is necessary.Start up is very slow but with all the programs to run it's Understandable and forgivable.

Excellent Phone!.......2006-04-30

I've had it for 6 months and I am glad I bought it. Excellent features. Flawless syncronization. If you will use it for a lot of emailing I recommend getting a portable bluetooth keyboard. For normal use T9 is sufficient.

THIS PHONE ROCKS THE HOUSE!.......2006-02-28

Update 10/8/06:
This phone still rocks. The Windows look and feel is always a big help when i'm going through my contacts or the calendar. You can even go to a contact file easily when speaking with that person, and with one more click of a button, see what meetings or events you have on the calendar...all while on the phone.

I'm eventually going to upgrade to the Palm Treo 750 when Cingular comes out with it late this year. But, for now, i'm still very happy with this phone even when looking at the Blackberry's.

Early 2006:
This is simply the best mobile phone i have ever used in my life. The battery life is incredible. The windows operating system is great and allows me to sync with my office programs. The extra memory slot is an added bonus. The phone has been operating without glitch. The address book is superbly designed and easy to get to.

A few things that could be improved in future versions:
1. bluetooth functionality could be made more accessibly. Now, you have to fish around the menus to find it.
2. The keys could be flatter like in the motorola models.
3. The camera and video could have better resolution/lens quality (I don't know the right terminology here)

I love this phone!.......2006-01-29

I guess I'm a gadget-a-holic! This phone is great. My son is getting tired of me saying I LOVE my phone! Anyway, my cons are: "joypad" is a misnomer - more like "frustration-pad". Boot-up time is really long, but then I have tons of apps loaded. Camera isn't great.

Pros: I have had no problems with reception. Napster to Go is great! I like how easy it is to check my email. Syncs great with my PC

Reception very bad.......2006-01-11

For the first six weeks I liked the phone. Syncs with pc
very easy. Just a little bit after 30 days with cingular my
phone would not get any reception at my house even though it shows lots of bars. We have owned this house for over 8 years. Never had a problem with any other cellphone. I know it is not a cingular
problem because my wife's phone (Motorola) with cingular works just
fine.

This seems to be common problem. check out cingular forums on
the smt5600 here.

This by far the worst cell phone I have ever owned over the last
10 years.
