Ok so i got the new phone today! Just set up the minute plan, and honestly it was pretty confusing. The phone looks great and has some cool features. But at the moment though, I'm mind boggeled by it. Maybe that's just cos it's new and I don't know how to use it. There's so many menu options and settings compared to Tracfone that I'm pretty lost. Tracfone for the most part was user friendly when it came to texting and making calls. Texting itself works well on this phone but due to the layout of the keypad compared to that of tracfone I keep getting confused and hitting the send key when i really want to backspace. Embarrassing indeed lol. So, here's how I rank it for just the few hours I've had it so far.
Look/Style - A+
Although the navigation keys- Could be bigger
Setup Process- B+ Website could've been clearer on payment options. However once past that, it's a breeze.
Battery Charging- Took almost 3 hours to complete.
Texting - B+ or A-. I like the ease you have with writing on this phone, however, if you get confused like i do, you may hit a few wrong keys and send when you don't want to.
Graphics- B+. Not overly impressed with the Menu graphics or screensavers. But from what I hear those things can be changed. It reminds me of how old computer graphics used to look.
I'm about 60/50 at the moment compared to Tracfone. Love the look of this phone. But for someone's that's not used to all the features, it's a bit of an overload, and I find myself missing the simplicity of the other. I'm sure all this will probably change once I have it a few days and have it all figured out, I'll probably love it. But as of now, I'll be hanging onto my Tracfone just in case
