Pros: Non-folding, lightweight
Cons: Call time does not automatically display

When I announced to my husband that I was planning to get a cell phone, he groaned. But I’d saved some money to purchase a phone and had already figured $20 a month for service into my household budget, so what could he say? At my local Car Toys, I...

Pros: Compact, Price and Options
Cons: Antenna, Small Buttons

Due to recent emergency events my husband and I realized just how much a Cellular Phone could come in handy. I had owned a dinosaur 5 years ago. Those big, bulky and heavy devices that looked like the original cordless phones. So comparing to previous...

Pros: Nice colors, compact and very easy to use.
Cons: Antenna is flimsy.

I really like my new little phone the Kyocera 2035. I purchased this phone when I purchased my sprint pcs mobile service.

At the time I got my phone they were having a rebate deal of a 50.00 rebate. The phone was priced at 100.00 plus tax,...

Pros: Display,Menu,3rd party Accessories
Cons: Cheaply made case,low battery life

I recently received the Kyocera QCP 2035a phone as a replacement from Verizon when they switched their signal equipment, obsoleting quite a few of the phones their customers had. I received the phone new but have had some ups and downs.

Pros:...

Pros: easy to use, simple features, adequate range and power
Cons: battery life short, will not broadcast in buildings

I was recently issued a Kyocera (Qualcomm) QCP 2035a cell phone for work purposes, and have been using this particular model extensively over the past month. Here's my analysis so far.

The QCP 2035a model is a lightweight, streamlined cell...

Pros: Lithium Ion Battery, Contact Manager, Handy Tools.
Cons: No option for a larger battery...

I am really surprised at the quality of this phone. That is a lot coming from me. I thought I would never be happy with anything other than a Motorola or Nokia cellphone.

I have always had a cellular telephone since about 1991. Over the years...

Pros: Makes me strangely happy.
Cons: People might laugh at your love for the inanimate.

Going into a Radio Shack(or similar store) bores me stupid. When I bought my TV, I brought along a male friend who did most of the talking. I want a DVD player, but I refuse to buy it without the advice/approval of said friend. In high school, I...

Pros: Size, Features, GOBS of options
Cons: Much less battery life than promised.

My wife and I have these phones. Two matching ones. Why did we get them? Battery life! Older, analog phones have MUCH shorter battery life than newer, digital ones. So I saw the ad in the paper for a nice "family plan" that allowed...

Pros: Small & lightweight, very easy to use. Interchangeable faceplates and a vibrating ringer. Cheap too!
Cons: doesnt get a very strong signal when travelling

I'd like to start things off by saying that I work for Qwest. I sell cell phones, and the phone that I always recommend/sell is the 2035a. We sell it for $79.99 or $49.99, depending on if the customer has a certain package on their home phone. So what...

Pros: Small, Excellent Ergonomics, Long Battery Life, Good Clarity, Tri-Mode, Lots of Features and Accessories
Cons: Antenna seems flimsy, but easy to replace if broken, Expensive Batteries!

I recently purchased this phone from Verizon as an upgrade to my rate plan (I had an old OKI 1325 from the TeleGo plan) and I'm very pleased with it. My rate plan went from 100 analog minutes a month to 150 peak and 2000 weekend minutes a month, plus...

Pros: Nice Looks, Durable, Ion Lithium Battery, Clear LCD, Good Price, Internet-Enabled, Small
Cons: Hard To Use, Not Nearly As Clear As Other Cell Phones In The Same Class

In search of cell phone plans, I was trying Verizon Wireless and Spint PCS. My whole family was getting hooked up with Verizon and Sprint PCS. So with Verizon, I bought a Nokia 8260 and a Kyocera(QUALCOMM) QCP-2035a. I have known of Qualcomm before...

Pros: Compact, Vibrate Mode, Excellent Voice Quality, Low Price
Cons: None

I have recently acquired two Kyocera 2035a phones (the "a" apparently designates a custom model for Verizon with some slight cosmetic changes from the 2035). The service is Verizon local (state of Illinois) coverage in the Chicago area. The...

Pros: Lightweight, Clear Calls, Changeable faceplates, great features.
Cons: Plastic is "squeaky"

This is my first e-pinion, so please bear with me...
I was using an old Sony CMB1201 for about a year, and was getting thoroughly frustrated in the poor quality of the phone and the dropped calls.
Time for a new phone!
But being a...

Pros: Lots of Features, Cheap
Cons: Awful software ease of use, terrible call clarity, and terrible reception strength.

I bought this product because I formerly owned the Qualcomm Thin Phone. I loved the Thin Phone for its design element, particularly the long slender thin design which allowed for it to fit easily into my pocket yet made it easily "talkable" in...

Pros: Good reception, good battery life.
Cons: Poor durability & menus can be difficult

The Kyrocera 2035 (same as the 2027) is a newer that has been put out within the past few months.

The phone itself is a dual band phone (allowing you to pick up a digital signal and an analog signal). This is a great feature to have, just in...

Pros: lightweight & small, seems relatively sturdy, good sound, lots of features
Cons: not very cool-looking

I didn't want a cell phone. I think they're aggravating and dumb, and the last thing in the world I want or need to is be any more readily-accessible than I already am. The thought of being hounded by my phone when I'm out in my garden, or away from my...

Pros: Dual band, easy to use
Cons: could be more attractive

I bought this phone for my husband on the Sprint PCS free and clear plan 1500 minutes for $34.99 a month. As soon as I got it home I took it out, began charging the battery, and playing with it. I got it with an employee discount for $19.49, so I couldnt...

Pros: Small without being too small, features, Lithium Battery, internet
Cons: Features (read Internet) require extra fees.

I've had my Kyocera (Qualcomm) QCP-2035a for a year now and its been a great purchase. I go to college in the middle of nowhere and I have to drive through the heart of the Adirondack mountains to get here and to get home to Albany. Four years ago when...

Pros: Excellent battery life as well as good reception and clarity.
Cons: Antenna is kind of flimsy, doesn't look as cool as my Star-tac.

I first came into contact with the Kyocera 2035 when my Star-Tac had to go into the shop. They didn't have any Star-tacs to give me as a loaner so I was stuck with the less than cool looking 2035. At first I didn't care for the phone. I was used to...

Pros: Exceptional clarity, great features, lightweight, changeable faceplates
Cons: The cross navigational key in the middle is ugly and the send and end buttons are weird shades of red and green

For anyone interested in a cheap web-enabled phone this is definetly the way to go. I picked this one up at my work a few days ago and I have just been blown away at the many features this phone has to offer.
We all know that the popularity of...

Pros: Clear reception, light weight, and you're able to change the banner.
Cons: Accessing voice mail is bothersome, and there's a small selection of ring tones.

The first test that I performed on the cell phone was the comfortness of pressing the buttons, which is probably one of the most important aspects of a cell phone. I chose the Kyocera QCP 2035a over the free phone that came with the plan because when...

Pros: Lithium Ion Battery, Contact Manager, Handy Tools.
Cons: None that I can find....

I am really surprised at the quality of this phone. That is a lot coming from me. I thought I would never be happy with anything other than a Motorola or Nokia cellphone.

I have always had a cellular telephone since about 1991. Over the years...

Pros: Powerful, clear, many options
Cons: Harder to use than nokia

I received my qualcomm qcp 2035a for free, as my old nokia would not function on the verizon network properly if I left Kansas City. The old nokia, (I don't know the number, it was one of the cheap cookie cutter ones that everyone has) would not pick up...

Pros: Light, "web-enabled", email, universal headset, nice timers/alarms
Cons: Costly accessories, phone can't run from adapter alone, awkward user-interface

The first week I had the phone was a honeymoon. It did everything I wanted. It worked great in the car, at work, and at home. I could surf the web at lunch, get emails in the car, and send text messages to my wife’s older Qualcomm phone. The battery...

Pros: A multitude of features, interchangeable colorful face plate options, Dual Band & Great Price
Cons: Flimsy antenna

I went into SprintPCS to get a new cell phone as I had lost my old one. I had my heart sent on getting one of the flip phones because my purpose was to have a phone with me in the event of emergencies while on the road somewhere that had a protective...

Pros: easy, small, nice looking phone
Cons: missing good PIM features.

I'm a wireless web developer, so when I looked for a phone to purchase, I paid very close attention to navigation and usability of the phone, including the web browser. I researched many different phones, and it seemed that the navigation of the 2035 was...

Pros: Small, light, tons of features, sounds great
Cons: flimsy antenna

I'd been using a Nokia 252 for the last year, but since it's analog only, I upgraded to a digital phone this year. I only had 3 to pick from that went with the nationwide coverage plan I was looking for: Motorola Talkabout, Motorola StarTac, and the...

Pros: Great signal.
Cons: Minor things like cheap antenna, average battery life, confusing menu setup and an occasional echo.

I've had an opportunity to use this phone in a number of locations and I've almost always gotten a clear signal. In the past, I've owned Motorola, Nokia and Ericsson cell phones. I'd estimate that 50-75% of the time I could get a clear signal with...

Pros: Nice features, vibrate alert, stores 200 contacts including snail& email addresses
Cons: Surprisingly poor battery life even in digital mode.

Cool features: 200 contacts including addresses is nice. Available Connectivity (see web address at end) kit lets you load/edit contacts from your PC and lets you use the phone as a CDMA wireless fax/modem.

The interface has its pluses and...

Pros: really small
Cons: bad reception

This is my first e-pinion, so please bear with me...
I was using an old Sony CMB1201 for about a year, and was getting thoroughly frustrated in the poor quality of the phone and the dropped calls.
Time for a new phone!
But being a...

Pros: Excellent sound quality, good battery life, very durable.
Cons: Keys easy to accidentally press, low ringer volume.

- Sound quality is excellent (this may partially be a function of my...

Pros: small, enough features
Cons: ring tones, not highly atractive.

Here's a breakdown of all of the features I have on my Kyocera QCP 2035. You will find that while it may not be highly impressive, it is a good quality phone.

1) Contacts- In this section of the phone you can enter all of your important and...

Pros: Quality, Features, Tools
Cons: None

I just recently purchased the Kyocera 2035a from Verizon Wireless. I own a wireless accessories store in Minneapolis, and see most PCS phones. For the price, I feel the Kyocera is a great choice and great value!

PRICE
With a one-year...

Pros: Simple to use design, durable, reliable, clear calls, cheap!
Cons: Doesn't have a calendar or other fancy PDA like tools

I bought this Kyocera 2035 phone with my Verizon wireless plan. I like Verizon's plans even though their phones aren't as flashy as the competetor's models. I have had this Kyocera phone since June of 2001 (over a year ago) and have had no problems...

Pros: Cheap, cute, nokia-like look
Cons: *horrible* reception, cheap build, did I mention horrible reception???

I had experience with three of these phones. I purchased one when my workhorse Samsung SCH-8500 was stolen (*that* phone was a little heavy but indestructible...). I liked the look, it was kind of cute (??), and seemed nokia-like. Which is what all...

Pros: Price, ease of use
Cons: slightly flimsy

There are a lot of inexpensive phones available for Sprint. As I walked into the store, I was set on purchasing a Samsung flip phone that had gotten great reviews. Then, I spotted a small, Nokia-like phone: the Qualcomm/Kyocera 2035. On impulse, I...

Pros: Light, attractive, lots of features
Cons: gold face plate standard

What:

Kyocera QCP 2035a CDMA Digital Trimode mobile phone. Verizon Wireless edition. (formally Qualcom)

Where:
Harrisburg, PA Verizon Wireless mall kiosk (formally AllTel)

And now...the review.

On the...

Pros: Ease of use, call clarity, neat "extra features"
Cons: none so far

Six months ago I went shopping for a new cellular rate plan as I had one of those "every minute counts" plans that was quickly blasting through my phone budget. My husband had just gotten a new cell phone through his job, one of those "fold in half &...

Pros: Battery Life, distinctive ringers(see desc.)
Cons: cheesy ringers (IMHO)

I finally upgraded from my older Qualcomm phone. This is the phone I was waiting for. The old phone was bulky, I was really growing tired of it. The fact that I was made fun of for having a huge phone didn't help either. :(

I have cell...

Pros: Cheap, voice quality, batter life, features
Cons: None

My third Sprint phone was a Samsung 3500, it was the worst phone ever, but I suffered through it because I didn't want to pay an arm and a leg for a cell phone. I happened upon an ebay auction for the 2035 and won it for $39. I received the phone and...

Pros: Good looks, Nice features, Great value
Cons: No calendar/PIM, Lack of shortcuts

I have had 10 wireless phones over the past 5 years, including the Samsung 8500, Nokia 6180, Sprint's Touchpoint. I must say that the new Kyocera 2035a racks right up there as the best phone, especially for the money.

First, this is a nice...

Pros: Small,easy to use,changeable face plates,wireless web,200 contacts memory
Cons: Ringer could be louder,flimsy antenna

This phone has features o' plenty! I guess the big deal with it is the wireless web-but to tell you the truth that isn't why I got it. I got it because my old phone was an antique,it's small,nice-looking,and the right price. Here's some features: you...

Pros: Easy to use, Full featured, Long battery life in digital areas
Cons: Short battery life in analog areas, Antenna is useless

I was up and running with this phone right away. It is very easy to program and operate. It has a large LCD screen that is back lighted nicely for operating in the dark. The programming is menu driven so it is easy to find what you want such as...

Pros: attractive detatchable face plates, clear calls, compact size, nice price
Cons: none!

I bought this phone online a few weeks ago, and it is already attached to my ear and has a nice home in my bag. It is so incredibly light and portable; goodbye clunky cell phones!

This type of phone can only be activated with Sprint...

Pros: super low price, light weight,
Cons: not as flashy as some others

so i had a startac for my first cellphone and thought it was too small and was afraid that i had lost it every 5 minutes...then i switched to a qualcomm thin phone (qcp-860) and liked it a whole lot. when a friend got this phone i was interested because...

Pros: Great Reception, anywhere.
Cons: Menu's a bit confusing

If your looking for good reception, and lots of options, this is the phone for you. I was impressed at the duration of the battery in this phone, I have owned a few phones before, and if you forgot to charge them at night, it was useless the next day....

Pros: GREAT PHONE, Lots OF FEATuRES, Multiple Rings, VIBRATE ALeRT!!
Cons: Squeaky, Not so attractive

I have written another epinion on Sprint's version of this cell, but, remember, these are the same phones, just with different startup animations/logos! In any event, I have been using my Kyocera 2035a for about 4 months now, and I LOVE IT! I also just...

Pros: Good battery life. Call clarity is excellent. Easy to use
Cons: Flimsy antenna.

This is my third cell phone and its the best yet. While I don't use the web access feature, the calling features are easy to use and I have had no problems with clarity or battery use. I am not on the phone that much each day so I don't even charge the...

Pros: Great features, Excellent Voice Clarity, fashoniable, and light.
Cons: Could be a little more "attractive," not a must though.

I have the Kyocera QCP 2035a. Granted, this phone was made especially for Verizon Wireless, it is the same phone as the 2035 and 2027. I will post this opinion in the 2035a section also. Now for the phone; This phone has alot of features along with...

Pros: Features, size, display and data connectivity.
Cons: Seems a little thin when talking for long periods of time.

I've had many mobile phones over the years, Motorola, Qualcomm, Samsung and Audiovox to name a few. I went from the Samsung 850 (see my review) to the Kyocera 2035a about a year ago and I really like it. I'm really into gadgets, especially electronic...

Pros: Nice Size, Good Price, Great Reception Easy to Handle, Splendid Ear Volume.
Cons: Web Browser Barfs, Poor Ring Volume

Owned the 2035 for two months now. Works great, The size is
perfect. Have the rigid clip leather case and it fits well into the front trouser pocket or on the belt. Key guard is easy to set up and nice option for automatic reset after a call.
...

Pros: Price, Features for the Price, Availability of Accessories
Cons: Little Flimbsey, battery power, antenna isn't stubby.

Well after a million or so trips back to the Verizon store with my startac 7868 phone I decided to sell the startac for $200.00 on ebay and buy the Kyocera 2035a for $39.00. Ususally I don't trust the sales reps, but since Verizon in my opinion has the...

Pros: Definetly worthwhile for the price
Cons: not very durable

I got this phone on sale for about $50, so I really didn't expect it to blow me away. However, it did have the two main options I was looking for (an alarm clock and a silent vibrating ringer) so I figured it had to be worth at least fifty bucks. What...

Pros: Easy Menu system, standard vibrator ring, customizable face plates
Cons: hard to assign onetouch dialing

I've had this phone for three months now from SprintPCS. I paid $99 for it, which is the cheapest phone available. I've had NO problems with this phone. From Sprint you have the choice of two different faceplates, but they have many more available on...

Pros: Good call quality, strong signal, long battery life, lightweight
Cons: Menu not very user friendly

I bought this phone to replace a Motorola StarTac because I was having many problems with dropped calls and I wanted a tri-mode phone at a reasonable price. Overall, my experience has been great. Call clarity is good and I almost never have a problem...

Pros: Voice Clarity, Features, Price
Cons: No Voice Dialing

Just bought my Kyocera 2035a at the Verizon store yesterday. Haven't put it down yet. I don't understand one comment made about "voice clarity" by another reviewer. This phone has fantastic clarity and less dropping than another model. My wife's new LG...

Pros: Inexpensive, lightweight, long battery time, ability to change face plates
Cons: Not to many faceplates currently out

The Kyocera 2035 is a great cellular phone for those who are looking for an upgrade from the current phone that they have whether it be digital or analog.

Pros: Cheap, Good battery, Good OS, Feature filled
Cons: Ugly

Like the Beast in "The Beauty and the Beast", the Kyocera 2035a is a gem inside, but fell off of the ugly tree on the outside. Aside from its looks, the features that it has more than make up for any cosmetic defficiencies, and if that isn't enough to...

Pros: vibrate, Face Plates, web access
Cons: small screen

The Newest Qualcomm "Kyocera" 2035a product is in full force. It is real light and Tons of great features. There are some downfalls to this great new little phone. Pros- It is very light weight and easy to carry in a pocket. It is web...

Pros: Tri-mode capability (With Verizon). Crisp, high resolution screen. Great bells and whistles.
Cons: Material quality not quite up to Nokia standards. Quirky but not ugly styling.

I have owned several mobile phones in recent history including the Nokia 252, the Ericsson 280LX, and the Audiovox CDM-4000. I will tell you right away that this phone is easily superior to each of those phones and most of the phones you can buy....

Pros: None that I can see.
Cons: Too many battery problems, software on the phone doesn't work properly

I have a Qualcomm 2035 by Kyocera and I can honestly say this phone is not very good. I have had nothing but battery problems and reception problems on this phone. I have had at least two of these phones that had bad chips in them, the battery often is...

Pros: holds a charge well, inexpensive, nice features
Cons: keypad is better for small hands, screen is tiny

The Kyocera QCP 2035 was the second cell phone that I purchased as an upgrade to the QCP 1960. The differences between the two phones are amazingly different. Whereas the QCP 1960 has almost no discernible features the QCP 2035 has a nice little set of ...

Pros: Lots of features. Easy to use.
Cons: The ringer is not loud enough. Poor earphone sound quality.

This phone is very light and full of features. It is web-capable and has an easy-to-use phonebook. The screen is large and clear. The battery has a lengthy life. It has at least a 36 hour standby time. It was cheap, $20 with a contract, but the...

Pros: Great reception, easy to use
Cons: Battery life deteriorates FAST!

My overall experience with this phone has been good. I bought it because I has such a good experience with my first phone which was a Qualcomm. Overall this phone has outstanding range, seems to get reception in places where other phones don't, has...

Pros: Clarity is exceptional. Lots of unexpected features.
Cons: Key Guard must be used to prevent accidental calls

I'll keep this brief.....
When choosing the cell phone for my calling plan I made sure I was making the best choice. The Qualcomm/Kyocera 2035 was the easy choice. It was the lightest, cheapest, and had the longest talk time. When I talk on the...

Pros: Compact, but not teeny. easy-to-read display.
Cons: 3-hour talk time.

Kyocera's exchange-able cover cell phone has enough heft to remind you it's in your pocket, without being bulky. Far preferable to the teeny models, this phone is sturdy, lightweight, and dependable. Battery power is a drawback -- the phone only allows...

Pros: Agreat lightweight phone
Cons: none

I have tried many cell phones in the last few years,some large and bulky and some thin and skinny,all of which were good phones.They have all been different brands and models.The qcp 2035 is by far the best of all the phone that I have purchased yet.It...

Pros: A nice phone with really handy features and easy navigation system.
Cons: The hands-free kit is of poor quality. But that elsewhere.

I recently have switched from my Qualcomm QCP-1960 to this fine little cell phone. It has all the features I need and none of the useless features most phones have these days. It's light weight and easy to use. The battery life is incredible and...

Pros: Clear signal, light weight and reasonably small
Cons: Case not very durable and antenna is flimsy

A good combination of price versus features. As a first time cell phone user I found it somewhat confusing to operate since the instruction manual and the operating instructions in the guide sheet given me by Verizon at the time of purchase often...

Pros: Ability to vibrate first, then ring, fairly durable, very lightweight, cheap.
Cons: Unfriendly user interface, not alot of features, Qwest's service`

We were give these as company cell phones. Company cars are usually pleasant, but nothing you would like to own. This phone fits that description to a tee!
It is devoid of all the toys that make my Ericksson great to use, games, planner,...

Pros: Easy to read screen, can change face plates
Cons: phone can short out, battery life, kind of bulky

Unfortunately, I had to buy a Kyocera QCP 2035 when my Kyocera flat phone quit working. After having it for only a week, I discovered that the battery life is fairly short (after having the phone on for four hours, the battery already had to be...

Pros: WEB CAPABILITY,TIP FIGURING, CALCULATOR
Cons: STYLE NOT VERY ATTRACTIVE

THIS PHONE IS ANOTHER NEW ADDITION TO MY FAMILY AND I LOVE IT. THE DIGITAL QUALITY IS TOP OF THE LINE WHICH MAKES FOR CLEARER CONVERSATIONS.I TRAVEL AND THE TRIMODE IS GREAT WHEN YOU GO THE LONG DISTANCES. 15 RINGER TYPES AND ALSO THE VIBRATE MODE.
...

Pros: Inexpensive, Well rounded, Good Battery Life
Cons: Time consuming menu, plain looking, no extended battery

This cell phone is a good all around performer. I spend about two thirds my time (1000 min/month) in analog coverage. The digital reception is excellent and analog very good. Although, I have a difficult time getting 9 hrs out of a fully charged...

Pros: Great size, durable, easy to figure out.
Cons: ?? Mine came with a gold cover, I would rather have a black one.

This phone replaced my Ericsson flip phone and is the first Digital (tri-band) phone I've owned. So far, it works well. Good reception, even indoors, and a comfortable design help. Also, unlike many Nokias, this phone uses a universal headset jack so...

Pros: I love this phone and the software that comes loaded. It is small, lightweight, durable.
Cons: The screen is not easy to read in direct sunlight.

This phone is very easy to use and has very logical software. I do have trouble seeing the screen in direct sunlight or at least when it is very bright outside, but not when it is bright indoors. Does that make sense? :0) I had it completely set up in...

Pros: Size, Reception, Large Icons, Button Size
Cons: None...

My fourth cellular phone. I like this one because it is easy to use, gets good reception and has taken a beating. I have found this phone is easier to use than some of the smaller models out there as the buttons on this phone are a bit larger and...

Pros: Lightweight, great features, compact, clear LCD and sound, easy to use with minimal instruction
Cons: I haven't discovered any yet, but I've only had this phone a few weeks.

I really like this little phone. It's small enough to fit in my pocket or purse. I especially like being able to put it in vibrate mode when I'm in meetings (or at golf tournaments!). And, since my phone often gets shoved down into my purse or pocket,...

Pros: It's size is nice. It is easy to use for the most part.
Cons: trying to answer messages can be difficult.

This is a very good phone. It is easy to use, its not to small and not to big. It has big and easy to read screen and has many functions. The fact that you can get on the internet on this phone is a nice touch to. The only part I don't like about...

Pros: Battery life, many faceplates, good vibrate function
Cons: long antenna(when extended), rather large size, no calendar, ring tones mostly silent

Well I purchased this phone about a year ago when the antenna broke on my Nokia 6185. I have a plan and still do with PrimeCo. They are mostly based in the Midwest.

This phone has served me well but there are still some things that irk me...

Pros: loyal:great reception, incredible resistance to heavy blows, a conversation piece
Cons: not as fashionable in 2006

I got this phone in 2001 and it is still with me in 2006. This truly is the soldier of all phones. I regret to inform the reviewers however, that because of failing battery life in its later years, i will finally be trading in my Kyocera QCP 2035 CDMA for a new one. It may not be flashy, have a camera or have text in colors but mark my words, this phone will never let you down...or it wont until 5 years later.

Pros: colorful features, extra large font, alarm/w/timer and email feature.
Cons: button dials could be louder.

This phone is attractive, unusually functional with the built-in alarm clock and timer feature. It is colorful and light-weight. I especially love the "large font" feature, because it saves me extra steps reaching for my reading glasses.
Of course, it doesn't flip or fold or take pictures. Who cares? It works great, and that is the important thing.
It has a phone-book, ring tones, speed dial, message alert,
and other great features,....too many to list.
This phone is so very functional in meeting my standards.
Inexpensive, doesn't always mean inadequate.
This phone rocks! I give it 5 stars.

Pros: battery life, features, durable
Cons: None

I love this phone, digital or analog CDMA and PCS capable. Data and Fax capable. I have a family share plan, and own 3 of these phones. I drop my a lot never a problem, my phone is over 3 years old has over 12,000 calls on it and it still works like the day I bought it.
