Is the Nokia 6301 a good phone?

I've currently using a Blackberry Curve thru Sprint.
I need a second phone, & I'm thinking of getting on my gf's T-Mobile plan (unlimited everything for $50)
The 6301 is free If I get on her plan, so I'm wondering If it's worth getting?

It is quite a basic model. Since you are used to the Blackberry, I would suggest an N or E Series. The 6301 is quite a basic phone but if that is what it could be the one for you, especially since it is free.

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At the rate Apple has released new models they will be out of date before the end of this year or early next.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.

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.....

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].

What has happened to the essence to what a phone w...

I have been meaning to discuss this for monthsand have never got around to it. The normal land line phone work 100 percent of the time you pick it up and it works you make calls from it and you put it down when your finished.
The mobile phone has lost what it was created for because there is to many things being added to it. I am a heavy business user. I make lots and lots of call all day long be it in my van on the hands free kit or just the handset. I have been using nokia phones for 6 years and they are starting to let the business user down greatly.
My last phone worked fairly well the 6310i it sat in a cradle in the car kit was charged by the car kit and used the external aerial with the car kit. Besides that the battery lasted with low usage up to 10 days and also i could slip a spare battery onto the back very easily and quickly that i had sitting by my pc on charge in a cradle, the was some problems with the car kit from time to time and the pc software didn't work half the time but as a phone it was very good i made lots of calls with good reception.But the new phones have got worse i was replacing 5 business phones snd needed car kits with them and also i wanted to be able to charge the units in the vehicle while in the car kit as well as use the external aerial on the vehicle when working in remote areas of bad reception. Well do you think anyone in nokia could provide any of this, no not after hours of searching on there website and talking to idiots on customers services who refused to put me threw to someone who technically knew what i wanted. Well i could go on for hours but the best i came up with for a new business phone was the 6230i. its a nice phone but its draw backs are the battery is not easily changed, the battery does not last anything as long, the new car kits do not have an external aerial, and it crashes about once a month even though i have the latest software on it. why cant they stop messing about and design a phone for the business user that uses an external aerial, but most of all has a battery that last all the other toys have nothing to do with making phone calls there nice i do use my pc and link it with outlook and the rest but most of all i make phone calls. Come on Nokia get back the essence of what a phone is for and take control of this issue. i would gladly talk to someone in nokia's developement team if they wish to give me a call but an email might be better as the battery wont run out during the conversation.
Looking forward to a reply.

this is ridiculous. if you read the manual for the installation of any car kit it states what you need to do in order to have it switched on when the ignition is off. its just the same as wiring a car stereo to a switch for leaving it on all the time. if yours does not do this you can ask the installer to do it for you.
i fail to see how nokia are complicating the issue with the 616. i agree that it does lack a charger and is the most expensive. have you ever seen a car charger? its a very discreet device, i have one myself. i plug in my phone and leave it out of sight in the car(i also have a bluetooth car kit. i put the phone in the space next to my ashtray), you could try the same thing(depending on your car) as you dont actually need the phone anywhere near you when you use the 616, as previously mentioned the screen and remote take care of all the functions you need.
if you really need a cradle you can buy one, they are less than twenty quid . as i use more than one phone its not a good idea for me. i have one for personal and one for business, but as you have mentioned, you are a heavy business user, you may wish to invest in one. probably you could pick one up at www.nokia-accessories.co.uk.
and on your odd comment on the desk stand, well nokia does one for the 6230i also, its called the dcv-14. not only does it charge it also provide a connection to your pc via a dku-2. you can find that on the same site i mentioned above. even though it does not charge an extra battery it does give you extra functionality, so i think the designers have done well there.
i am not sure as to what you mean about tony blair though

I put an app onto my phone via my comp when there wasn't space on my phone originally to download it directly. Now however, everytime I visit the app store on my phone it tries to download the same app that's already there. How can I stop it doing this?

My phone didn't have space on it when I originally tried downloading a large app (Infinity Blade), so I downloaded the app on my computer to save time and removed apps from my phone to make space for it.
I then connected my phone to my computer and transferred the app across onto my phone and it works fine.
However, everytime I visit the App Store on my phone it starts downloading this same app until it tells me there isn't enough space for it at which point the app goes back to its normal already downloaded self and I can carry on playing the same game.
How can I stop it from trying to re-download everytime I visit the app store?

If it's still trying to download the app to your phone, then it thinks the app is not on the device.
A reset or restart would be a good starting point to clear up the attempts to redownload the app.

ITunes on my phone is no longer playing some songs, even those I have purchased with my phone. They will play fine on my pc itunes. I also cannot remove the audio books that are on my phone and add others and the audio books on my phone will not play.

I am unable to play new songs purchased on my phone and some old songs on my ipod/iphone. They all work fine in iTunes on my computer. I also cannot remove the audiobooks from my phone when I sync even though I have unchecked said books, and I cannot play them either.

Thanks. I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data. Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again.

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.

Is E52 a good phone?

Hi I see a good price in the nokia E52 and I wish guys to tell me is it a good phone to use and is there any kind of factory defect in software and Bluetooth and wlan please tell me every thing about this phone even if the problem is small tell me please guys .
phones i have 2730c - C1
KUDOS ME IF YOU FIND MY ANSWERS HELP FULL
Solved!
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.

HT1766 I was attempting to backup my iphone 5 getting ready to update it to ios 7 and i accodentally restored it to the settings of my last phone which was an iphone 4s and it erased all my new pictures and info off my new phone and need help getting them

I was attempting to backup my iphone 5 getting ready to update it to ios 7 and i accidentally restored it to the settings of my last phone which was an iphone 4s and it erased all my new pictures and info off my new phone and was wondering if anyone knows how i can get them back and restore it back like i has it? Thanks

That means you have not a backup before accidentally restore your new iPhone 5.
So you should recover your new pictures and info with a third recovery tool.
This blog has a useful tool to meet you.
http://easy-iphone-recovery.blogspot.com/2013/09/iphone-recovery-resource.html
In step 1, you should choose 'Recover from iOS Device' in the main interface and then following the steps to get your pictures and info back.
Good Luck.

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.

Can you blur the background with Touch for phone

Can you blur the background with Touch for phone. Can you give images a depth of field look

you can using the selection tools and blur option, but no image editor will ever be as good as a camera app with this function built in.

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.
