Go to Solution.

I have had an E52 for 5 months and have had no problems with it at all, so can't tell you of anything wrong with it. Maybe most other users are the same so that is why you are not getting any responses :-)?
At first the GPS was slow to get a fix but with later updates is now fine. Also early on with a Windows 7 64 bit computer had a few minor issues with Ovi but they have gone with the Ovi updates - the only phone<=>computer issue I have now is that Windows Explorer does not does not see the phone's expansion card over bluetooth. It works fine with USB cable though so not a real problem and I suspect the bluetooth issue is a Win 7 64 bit driver not existing (it works ok under Windows XP 32 bit). All other bluetooth e.g. internet, modem, etc works fine.
Messaging including predictive text, radio, navigation, email (POP with two accounts), data, modem, voice services including A2DP profile (for handsfree navigation, music, radio sound), etc, etc all work fine for me. The camera is not great but if one wants a good camera one should buy a camera. About the only thing I do not use the phone for is VOIP services so cannot comment there.
Build quality seems ok to me for the price of the phone. Some people complain about light bleed through on the keyboard in particular the bright LED between the Home and Off Hook keys but I actually thought that was a feature for use in low light as it gives a strong point of reference to the location of these two keys (as far as I remember my daughter's E72 is the same which would infer it is a feature).
Both my daughter and myself were replacing our phones at the same time and both tossed up between the E72 and the E52 - she got the E72 and I the E52. If one does a lot of SMS or emailing from the phone (or use the Office applications) then the E72 is probably the better fit else the E52 is fine. The E52 does have a bigger screen though.
Am not claiming it is the best phone in the world but I have no reason to be displeased with the choice. Judging from this forum some seem to have problems with them but I guess with the many thousands of phones out there, there are going to be some with issues - however, from the emotive rants from some of the complainers I suspect a goodly number of them have problems with much in their in lives, have finger trouble or don't understand what they are doing  (e.g. those complaining about the phone when it is their car's handsfree not supporting the A2DP profile, as many do not, that is their real problem) :-) . Like anything, I'd just suggest buying the phone off a supplier you trust to respond in the unlikely event of problems.

  • The Fascinate is not as bad as people say/Actually a good phone

    Greetings.
    First of all...if the Bing search and GPS are really important to you..then this phone is probably not for you.  If its not a deal breaker..go ahead and read on.
    I realize these days all phones will have their glitches but IMO the Fascinate is a pretty good phone.  Im a new Android OS user.  For a long while I had a Blackberry Storm.  I recently owned a Droid X and let me tell you I will never go back.  The Droid X, IMO, is a horrible phone. 
    I used a Droid X for approximately 2 months and I was quick to use a buddy upgrade to use something else.  If you take a look at the Droid X's support board I had many of the problems reported.  The major problems I had were
    1. Bad picture quality
    2. Speaker/Music Volume
    3. Unexpected freezing
    4. Phone is too big
    1. Pictures taken with the Droid X came out blurry 90% of the time.  It doesnt matter what MP I had it on or what kind of effect/setting.  It would always come out blurry.  Some people had good quality on pictures but I was one of the many that didnt.
    2. I cant tell you how many missed calls/text's I had because of the horrid volume on the X.  It was truely ridiculous.
    3. From time to time using swype texting..the phone would freeze and have to reboot.
    4. I guess this problem is on me cause I had the phone in my hand at the store but you truely dont know what a inconvenience it is to have this phone in your pocket.  You almost cant sit comfortably and in my case the phone would often fall out of my pocket at times.
    I have used the Fascinate for about 3 days now and I'd have to say I like it.  First off you cant fade the Amoled screen.  Pictures and colors are amazing.  Once you have a phone with this type of screen its hard to go back to something else.  I turned on my X to get a few numbers from there and its truely no comparison.  Pictures are in great quality and so is the video.  The flash is pretty good as well.  And how about this..I can actually hear when I have a phone call.
    Funny isnt being able to hear a call and picture quality supposed to be given these days for smartphones? lol Not on the Droid X.
    The problems that come up with this phone is the bing search/no google navigate.  Well bing doesnt doesnt bother me one bit.  I made a google search short cut so that takes care of that.  you can download google maps and still get to navigation by going through a few prompts.  no big deal on my part.  Only thing that is a little bother is that there is no side button to press to take a picture.  you have to hit the camera icon on the screen.
    of course the final decision will depend on you but if you are in flux about a phone I'd recommend the fascinate.  I personally havent used this phone but I only hear good things about the incredible also.  My cousin has the Droid 2 which looks alright.  All 3 are a huge step up from the Droid X.   

    (I was trying to figure out why I wandered into this particular forum as I have no interest in this phone whatsoever, but maybe it will prove beneficial...)

    It's WORLDS better.  No joke.  I have my Droid X collecting dust in my cabinet.  The speaker volume was my BIGGEST probem too and let me tell you you will not have that problem with this phone.  Once you use this phone you then realize how overrated the droid x really is
    If you would like to sell your Droid X, I'll make an offer via Private Message.
    The biggest reason is that I want to compare it side-by-side to the Droid X I own. Because the Droid X I own has absolutely no bearing to the phone you are describing. Plus I've had good luck returning ill Moto phones to Motorola for repair. So what the hell...
    I'm dead serious. Send me a private message if interested. Really, why let an unused phone sit in your closet gathering dust when you could profit from it.....

  • What's a good phone that will sync with iCal?

    I'm in the market for a new phone, but have absolutely no desire to switch to AT&T, so the iPhone is out. (Sob!)
    I really want to be able to sync with iCal, with support for alarms so I don't forget stuff. (I also want to sync with Address Book.) Can anyone recommend a good phone that's fairly compact for this?
    Thanks in advance!

    Have a look at any of the Sony Ericsson models - there are dozens of them to choose from and all (non-Smartphones) sync perfectly with the Mac.
    iCal events plus To Dos will sync to the phone, and if a reminder alarm is set in iCal, the phone will remind you at your chosen interval before the event is due.

  • Upgrading from iphone 4s, is the 5c good phone

    i have a iphone 4s as my current phone but want to get a iphone again cant afford to much is the iphone 5c a good phone and is that phone going to be around for many years still

    At the rate Apple has released new models they will be out of date before the end of this year or early next.  Best get used to the idea that you will never keep up. Learn to enjoy what you have, not what you covet.

  • Is Nokia 2730 classic a good phone to buy

    is Nokia 2730 classic a good phone to buy and does it have and defect or bluetooth problems
    phones i have 2730c - C1
    KUDOS ME IF YOU FIND MY ANSWERS HELP FULL

    The 2730 doesn't seem as 'advanced' as the X6, which I believe you were asking about the other day.  If you want to store music or lots of phots on your phone, the X6 wins hands down, having 32GB of storage, where the 2730 can only takre a 2GB card.  You can compare the specifications for the phone on your local Nokia website, if you haven't already done that.
    Afraid I don't really know first hand about any problems with the 2730 Classic, though there are a few posts on this board which refer to such problems.  But, as others here so often caution, people come to this board because they have problems, and many of those problems are as a result of user mistakes, so any comments here need to be put in to perspective.  If the specs of the phone look like the sort of thing you want, it would be worth further research on other sites.

  • Kin onem- daughter wants -is this a good phone?

    Hi, I am a first time user so please be patient. My daughter has a Samsung Intensity and now wants to upgrade to a Kin Onem. I, however, am technically stupid. Is this a good phone to get? I believe she wants a decent camera,touchscreen and maybe internet. I heard she could get this option for free on this phone.
    She gets Itunes a lot, texts a lot and does take pictures. I think the internet is the main factor this time....Is there a better one (phone) or another one with free service or is this a good choice for her? Also, do you know if you can purchase this phone in the store or do you have to order it and have it shipped in? I also read you have to enter all your contacts.Is this true?
    What are the pluses and minuses for this phone in "simple" English! Thanks.

    Yes, this is a good phone. That is the short and easy answer. I am assuming you are looking for a phone that does not require a data plan (that costs extra). Other smartphones are MUCH better, but require that data plan, so if you do get data, do not get this phone. Get and android, windows 7 phone, blackberry, etc. But this is the ONLY phone w/out data.
    Like said above, i would recommend the Twom over the Onem, simply because it has the larger screen, more memory, better camera, etc. But, that is all personal preference, if your daughter would rather have a squarish, smaller phone, then the Kin Onem is better suited.. My personal flavor is, i like the longer, rectangular phone shape, i am much more familiar with it, and it fits the hand better. The Kin Onem is $20, and the Twom is $50 with a new line/plan/contract, but for a one-time charge, that really isn't that much and is worth it in my opinion (and if you qualify for the 'new every two', you get $100 towards a single phone, that is how i got one of these for free).
    This phone is sold in stores, but they do not have them out on the 'floor' in most, if not all stores. I only imagine that it is sold in actual verizon stores, not resellers such as bestbuy, mall stands, etc. I got mine in stores last week, but i had to ask them specifically for what i wanted. They had a test device, but they had to charge it up int he back room before i could play with it. Many believe that they are just trying to clear out their inventory of devices from the first time around, when they sold less than 60,000 devices, but i think they have alternative plans too. I hope they are seeing if they sell or not (and if more people knew about a non-data phone with wifi, they would sell like crazy in my opinion), and if they do, then they will re-start production of hte phone, market it, and most importantly, add support for the software/firmware and provide updates to fix its problems.
    You heard right, this phone does not support backup assist at the moment (transferring contacts application from verizon). However, some (it should be all in the near future) stores have recieved system updates that allow them to transfer contacts with a hard-wire connection from your old phone to the new Kin, you would just have to ask your local store if they have recieved the update. I have learned, be very specific when talking to sales reps, know what you want, sound confident, and then they will help you. Most sales reps do not know all the details, but what do you expect, their main job is to sell phones (although it would actually boost their numbers if they made sure all employees provided good customer support..hint verizon). At worst, they will have to contact their manager/supervisor and they will hopefully be more helpful.
    Long story short, this phone has wonderful features.
    -8 MP camera
    -720p HD video
    -very responsive, well built capacitive touchscreen
    -full QWERTY keyboard
    -full Zune music/video player
    -FM radio
    -and most importantly, Wifi
    You will have to manually block data if you do not want any charges appearing, but that is not too hard, and it saves any headaches of a ridiculous phone bill (without a data plan, you by default sign up for a pay-per-use plan, at a ridiculous $1.99 per MB rate..thats about $2 per webpage browsed). That is explained in my review/FAQ (linked below). This phone was originally released at the beginning of the summer as a smartphone, with an emphasis on social networking, and it failed miserably, so Microsoft/verizon have rebuilt its software and released it as a feature phone.
    The physical quality of this phone isn't top notch, but it is relatively sturdy. The front portion of the phone, the touchscreen, is built very well, with high-quality plastic that does not feel like it will break, even with a few accidental drops. The back (battery cover), however, does feel weak, and is made from a slippery, thin plastic. That is nothing that a case can't fix, though, and they sell for as low as $4 ($1+ $3 shipping..so if you do order online, purchase screen protectors and other things all at once, because the shipping costs much more than the actual case).  The phone hinge is decent, it has a quality-spring action to it, but there is a little wobble in the hinge (although the spring almost completely covers that up). The keyboard keys are 'clicky', and responsive, it has a quick repeat time on keys, which i really like.
    The biggest issue with this phone is not the actual phone, it is the abundance of firmware bugs/poor design and quality check before it was released. It all depends on if your daughter will be bugged enough to not like this phone, despite its awesome features.  I am hopeful that microsoft will release firmware updates to fix these issues, but if not, many of them have work-arounds and aren't that big of a deal anyways. So, yes it does have those problems that you see other people talking about, but they are very minor compared to how nice of features you get with the phone. Some of the major bugs/poor software quality include:
    -backup assist (transferring contacts) does not work
    -no forwarding messages
    -can't delete individual messages
    -volume buttons don't lock when phone is locked
    -can't delete or rename ringtones
    -etc.
    I have created a more detailed, albeit VERY long, full review of the device, its quirks, pro's, and fixes/workarounds. If you have time for some heavy reading, or want more information, here it is:
    http://community.vzw.com/t5/KIN/Kin-TwoM-Review-FAQ-Q-amp-A-troubleshooting-etc/td-p/347662
    I hope you find the best device for your daughter. I can provide my opinions, and i love this phone, but get the phone that she would like the most.

  • Any suggestions for good phone?

    Is there a good phone to use without data plan? I do not need internet browser I just call and txt.
    I want it to be a decent looking.
    If not how many phones comes with the 10 dollar data plan? I can't seem to find any.
    Thanks

    Go to verizonwireless.com and browse the feature phones - those do not require a data plan, and only you can decide what "decent looking" means to you.
    Here's the link to the (currently) 21 feature phones:

  • Why do I have to have Mobile Data "on" just to get a good phone signal?

    I went in to the Verizon store today to ask about dropped phone calls in Minneapolis. I was told I need mobile data "on" at all times for good phone signal. I told him I do not want to waste data just to make clear phone calls. I know that most apps run background data even when they are not used.

    Data and voice are separate.  You need both IF you use Advanced Calling.  Otherwise, that's a lie.

  • Nokia n86 a good phone??

    ok, my phone got stolen recently so im looking to get a new one for christmas..i had the 5800 and loved it,but i wouldnt want to get another one on xmas day - it just wouldnt be the same lol. so, im looking into phones, the max ill spend is 350 -whats the besty phone i can get for that price?
    i want a phone thats loud, like the 5800 and is generally easy to manage.
    i dont want one that slides into a keyboard - too awkward!!
    i was lookin at the Nokia N86, it says it has integrated speakers..is it a good phone?
    please give me suggestions, i need a new good phone ..
    thanks

    The N86 is a tad bit smaller than N96 and the thickness of the N86 is tad smaller than N96 aswell but the N86 is a little bit heavy from N96.
    Sound of the speakers arent really low like the 5310. N86 speakers are decent and has good quality sound but not loud as N96, N95, 5800. Lets just say N86 volume output is a tad bit quiter than 5800. 5800 speakers are louder than N86.
    Either phone you wont regret N86 or 5800XM but id go for N86 due to the 8MP Camera, FM Transmitter, AMOLED screen which is really good. Battery life on N86 is awesome

  • What's a good phone to replace an lg envy VX9900 ?

    My LG VX9900 was lost and I am on a prepay plan and need a replacement phone that will not need me to change my plan to be forced to have data.
    I had a blackberry given to me but to upgrade it, I was told by the rep on the phone I need to change the plan fully with data, same with any new android phone or a phone that uses 3G.
    I do not care for these features on my prepaid as the only use this phone gets is basically for emergencies.
    With all the new phones around on the market with all their features, it is like  a blurred line between basic and smart phones.
    Any good suggestions for a basic phone with a full keyboard that will allow me to keep my standard Daily Plan Prepay?

    Hopefully, you know about being about to set the right-click in System Preferences +Keyboard & Mouse+ pane; there's not right button, but there is a sensor in the mouse that knows when you are touching the right side of the the mouse with your fingertip.
    You can use almost any mouse for built-in functionality. But if the mouse works with the manufacturer's special Mac OS X mouse driver, it should be able to add functions to buttons, such as browser back button.
    For example, I don't know your Logitech mouse model, but for the ones that are designed to work with Macs, they have this mouse driver. You can look up your particular mouse at their support web site.
    http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/428/906&cl=us,en?osid=9
    If your mouse is supported, you could try it to see if it works.
    Microsoft, Kensington, and Macally also have special drivers for their mouse products.

  • Good phone but lacks the bluetooth parrot quality,  is it me

    The phone is able to connect to the bluetooth parrot sound is good but what it lack is the ability to have good sound if we want to listen to music while our bill of lading is being worked on, very very faint but it does work

    Totally wrong. The iPhone uses assisted GPS, not GPS direct from satellite like Garmin and other GPS positioning devices.
    The GPS chip in the iPhone processes data from the cell towers and does in fact work indoors, as long as it can get a signal, where normal Garmnin GPS devices fail.
    People have posted difficulty in getting the device 'initialised' it has taken some twenty minutes and a drive around the countryside for many of us ~ only needs to be done once, thereafter it tracks the Cell towers.
    I've taken mine to the top of mountains where ONLY satellites are available and NO iPhone GPS. Have taken mine to underground car parks where NO satellite is getting in, but iPhone HAS GPS [except where is does not have a signal at all].

  • Good Phone for GPRS

    I need a good nokia phone for GPRS
    My requirements are
    Loud enough ringing volume,
    good battery backup
    blue tooth
    and GPRS WITH EDGE
    I need to use phone as modem for 12 hours perday an average or more.

    I think a smartphone like 6120 Classic will do a good job for you. It has HSDPA (3.5G), but the usability depends on your area and network. But if you are from India, you won't be able to have this phone as it's not sold there **ORIGINALLY**. I think a S40 device will better suit you. Eg: 6233 (3G/EDGE), 6288 (3G/EDGE), 6300 (EDGE), 3110 (EDGE?).

  • Packaging is no good. phone sits on top and falls out if you are not extra careful. phone should be secured!

    I phone 6 packaging is horrible.  The phone sits on top of the box and fall out of you are not extra careful. For an $800 phone I expect good packaging. My phone fell as soon as I opened the box and now it's scratched on the corner. I am very disappointed.

    I agree with you. It has almost happened to me.. The Box is difficult to open and unless you are very careful, when it finally does come open, it is very easy for what happened to you to happen...

  • N95 Is this a good phone?

    I'm about to get an N95 as my new phone and I want to know is it good, or are there any problems that I should be aware of.
    Thanks

    N95-1(classic)
    if you can get your phone updated to version 21 firmware i dont think youll have any problems as it works seamlessly on this version
    as for battery life i am a HEAVY user. music nearly all day lots of wifi interet browsing calls and texts
    the battery lasts me til early morning the next day before i have to charge it....
    what im trying to say the battery life depends alot on your usage.
    with the v21 fw the classic n95 battery life is comparable to that of the 8GB version so it wont make much of a difference battery wise
    secondly is 8GB enough for you? as the classic n95 can accept an 8GB card and will/should be able to accept up to 32GB cards in the future(16gb cards are on the way) so if youre like me who loves to watch movies while travellng may not 8gb will be enough
    lastly camera cover...the 8GB version has no lens cover whereas the classic does....
    in my opinion the classic n95 is the better of the choices unless you are willing to wait for the n96 release whenever that is......

Maybe you are looking for
