| munkeyfriend's Full Review: Qualcomm QPC-860 Cell Phone |
Attention Epinions members!:if you rate opinions strictly by length (as many do) than you might as well skip right to the bottom and give me the SR/NR I obviously deserve.
I recently went down to the local radio shack and locked myself into a year-long cellphone plan with Verizon Wireless.It was actually a shared plan so I got two FREE phones with the deal and I chose the Qualcomm 860.
These phones are very thin and light but also a bit larger than the average phone and loaded with features.I was actually really impressed with the phones up until the time I actually took the first call.
The sound was crystal clear in my ear,but apparently the person on the other end of the line could not hear my voice.A defective unit. So it was off to radio shack again to replace it. After the lengthy process of waiting for the clerk to cancel the first phone and reprogram the second,I was out the door again. The next day,leaving the house with a fully charged battery I was upset to find that the battery was dead less than six hours later without spending a second actually using the phone.
With an advertised stand-by time of 100 hours, I knew something was not right so back to radio shack.They replaced the battery (not an easy job,considering the tool to open the back of this phone is one that requires special ordering)and after another day (18 hrs)the fully charged battery was drained.Although my wife's unit seemed to work fine and the battery seemed stronger,I decided to take both phones back because I figured with these kind of results this brand of phone could not possibly hold up to the abuse a cellphone should.Maybe I should have just stuck with my outdated,five pound nokia....
