Motorola A630 Phone (T-Mobile)
Its cute but it stinks :(
I love certain things about the phone.  It has a keyboard so text messaging is soooo easy.  The camera is decent too.  But I've had it 13 months.  7 months in, the mic stopped working mid conversations and I'd have to call back.  Than in a couple of weeks, went out totally.  What good is a phone when people can't hear you?! <br /> <br />Then i got replacement... which is what I'm currently using.  If I'm on the phone for too long (say a 2 hour conference call) my mic goes out and I'm sure this phone too will die shortly.  $300 phones should last more than a year. <br /> <br />I love the keyboard feature and it will be hard to part with it but you can tell it's not a durable phone.  The programming (on both I've had) will freeze up at times and like I said, the mics are terrible.  People also complain that the reception isn't very clear when I'm speaking to them.  With Sprint, I had the same cheap-o phone for 5 years.  It was not hi-tech, but at least I could make calls... I mean.. that's the minimum you want a phone to do, right? <br /> <br />When T-mob sent me the replacement, that took an arm and a leg.  First they said the phone was no longer being made because of too many problems (ya don't say!).  They offered me an 'upgrade' which was a crappy phone they were basically giving away to anyone signing up.  It didn't have half the features of my current phone.  I'm not an idiot and don't appreciate being buttered up and being told I'm getting an UPGRADE!!! when I'm clearly not.  So they finally tracked down a replacement.   <br /> <br />In a few months... I guess I'll be phone shopping... again!  <br /> <br />Boo. $300 phones should last and be able to make calls.
