?Phone ? So far, the phone works great, on both ends the clarity and sound quality is good. The speakerphone is nice and loud. I haven?t used Bluetooth yet but I have hooked the phone up to the cassette jack in my car and the sound comes out great when listening to music or placing a call. What I don?t like about the phone is the actual phone screen. I don?t like how when you view the call log and click a name it doesn?t automatically call the person. You have to go to another screen and hit the call button?which I also don?t like where the icon is placed. Even from keypad, if you are typing the number and it begins to give you options to who the numbers are matched too, you have to hit the call button rather than just click on the number when you recognize it to place your call.
hey, here's a tip:
While in the call log, swipe from left to right on a name to call that contact. Swipe from right to left on a contact to send/compose a text to that contact. I found this yesterday, thought I would share, it saves that extra step of having to view the contact to make a call/send them a text.
I had to come to the computer to edit this post, I hope this tip helps a lot of people, maybe it should be in the tips & tricks thread about this phone too...I just happened to find this, and never had another android device with this "swipe contact to text/call" option. I was noticing too that it was taking an extra step to make a call from the call log..I was like, sheesh..that's going backward, not forward. I used to 'long-press' on a contact, then click on Call *NAME* to make a call..then I got this phone, and I had to click on the contact, click on call...etc.
I accidentally swiped across the call log yesterday and it started calling my wife without warning...I was like, "NO NO NO, WE ARE IN CHURCH!!"
Another tip:
Don't play with your phone in church and find new, interesting things that it does..like making calls with swiping a contact. Makes for embarrassing moments sometimes, especially when you snap a photo while someone is praying because you're holding the phone up for your infant daughter to stare at the screen so she will be quiet....

(Also, when you swipe from left-to-right, the contact you swiped will turn green and the word "CALL" will show up in the middle of the screen, then the screen changes to the active-call screen..
When you swipe from right-to-left, the contact you swiped turns orange, and the texting screen comes up with the keyboard already active and ready for you to type a message.)
******* also when viewing a contact in the contact list, swipe from left to right to call, right to left to text. ******
