Motorola A630 Phone (T-Mobile)
I can't wait to get rid of this phone
A little background info: I'm a late adopter to the cell phone world, having only been connected for 2 years. My first phone was a Samsung, which I loved. But I got a new service place and decided to get a new phone. I did A LOT of research to see what phone I'd get, and often people talked about brands as if they knew how all of them were. Being a somewhat-newbie, I just didn't understand. More on that later.  <br /> <br />While it looks nifty and strangers will ask you about it when you're texting others, I've learned that it's not a very good phone. After 3 months, I asked for a new one, but I have the same problems. To wit: <br /> <br />- I have trouble hearing others. I'm getting old, but not that old. <br />- The ringer is not loud enough. (Again, I'm getting old, but . . . ) <br />- Call-waiting is not intuitive. <br />- Often shows missed calls that were missed a long time ago and just hasn't disappeared yet. <br />- Text message function gets in the way of operation when you're on the phone. <br />- Phone won't unlock (the button lock for pockets) for text message but will unlock for a phone call. <br />- Charger sucks, and I often wake up with it drained instead. <br /> <br />The good? It's great for texting and AIMing, if you're into that. I wasn't before, but I now know it's a good way to communicate. I also know two people who love their phones. <br /> <br />So, I said above \\"more on that later.\\" I guess I understand what some were talking about when it came to brands. I would be suspicious of buying anothe Motorola product. It's just so clunky to operate compared with my old Samsung. I can't wait for my service to end so I can get a new phone. Hopefully by then, there'll be a phone that works well as a phone but I can have the convenience of the min keyboard.
