« La beteria se termina muy rápido »

La batería se termina o desgasta muy rápido, no dura ni 24 horas a lo menos si se escucha música. En este aspecto debería mejorar.

« do not buy this phone to UnlockedCellPhoneKings seller »

version english:
do not buy this phone to UnlockedCellPhoneKings seller, I buy it because I saw that his design was very nice, I'm loving the BlackBerrys and recently I had one, they send the battery mistake, then i buy the battery it might not I was able to activate the blackberry bis, try contacting the seller a million times and only told me that if i remove the negative feedback of the site would respond, as I did and he dont answered me for the warranty, he just said that I had to send the phone to usa to cover the warranty and I'm from Venezuela so I can not, the phone features are very poor, despite the camera flash that has focused far too bad, the sound is not good, the only thing that has good phone is that it is nice but is useless! I do not recommend this phone, this phone sucks!
version spanish:
No le compres este telefono al vendedor UnlockedCellPhoneKings, yo se lo compre porque me parecio que su diseño era muy lindo y femenino, ademas yo amo los blackberrys y recientemente tuve uno, el vendedor me envio el telefono con una bateria erronea, no encendia cuando lo recibi, luego yo compre la bateria adecuada y me encendio sin problemas, pero cuando intente activar el servicio BIS de blackberry el telefono nunca levanto la señal en EDGE, yo se lo comente al vendedor y el me dijo que si quitaba el comentario negativo que hice hacia el, el me resolveria el problema hasta me enviaria una bateria nueva, pero no fue asi, una vez que quite el comentario pocas veces me respondio y no resolvio mi problema, solo me dijo que tenia que enviar el telefono a Estados Unidos y yo soy de Venezuela enviarlo a estados unidos me saldria muy costoso, por lo cual solo le dije que se encargara de liberar el imei del telefono cosa que tampoco hizo, fui estafada y robada por este vendedor y realmente quitando todo eso las caracteristicas del telefono son muy pobres, la camara es malisima tiene mal enfoque de lejos, el sonido es bueno pero de resto es un telefono inservible, no recomiendo este telefono mucho menos para la gente latina ya que se nos hace imposible hacer cubrir la garantia y este es el unico modelo que no se puede reparar, odio este telefono es la peor compra que he hecho en amazon!

« Don't buy this phone »

OEM shop sent a mini-USB charger and data cable with the phone, but the phone had a micro-USB port, so they could not plug into the phone.

However even when I plugged in a micro-USB charger the phone did not charge. I had to send the phone back to Amazon, since the battery ran down and I could not charge it.

Otherwise the phone seemed to be everything I wanted, I wish the quality control was better.

« The seller sent a different battery charger »

The cell phone is fine, but the seller sent a battery charger that doesn't belong to this BB model. That's the only objection I have to say abaout this purchase.

« Horrible phone »

I got this phone for my birthday. At first, I loved it. I would have given it 4 stars. I mean, it shut off every once and a while. Well, exactly 6 months later, it went into a constant reboot cycle. When I tried fixing it with software updates and memory wipes, it just up and died. Wouldn't turn on, wouldn't even give me a reboot cycle anymore. I took it to the T-mobile place. Replaced it right then and there. As I was leaving the college-town I got it from (Auburn, War Eagle!), it rebooted on me. Okay, well I figured it was a new phone and it was just updating or something. No, in fact, as time went on it became more frequent. And by the time it had become just a flat out inconvenience, RIM changed their replacement policy. I could no longer take it into the T-mobile store and replace it. What a bummer! He gave me a number to call and try and work something out. I decided to wait a few weeks and see what happened just in case the new battery I had bought on Amazon would fix it. Nope, it sure didn't. The phone still wasn't fixed. So I took it back to see what one last person could try and do to help me. He said to clear the cookies, the messages, and the, as he called it, "crap log", which I'm assuming is just a log of every process the phone performs. I did that and it stayed good for an hour. Then it rebooted yet again. And, to my luck, the store closed within that hour.... WTF... So I'm still stuck with my piece of doo doo phone. Please don't make the same mistake I did. Don't get this phone. It's a waste of money. And if you already have it, I recommend you get it replaced. Its not worth the time or effort to fix the thing. I just want a phone that works. And let me tell ya. THIS ISN'T IT.
