  I sent this review on Kyocera-Sanyo website on this cell phone's page. It says: "Submit your review". After submitting, there was no confirmation page/screen. Looks like the reviews are either ignored or go into a black hole.
  
  Those of you who do not fancy touch screen phones, this is exactly the type of phone for you. I do not like touch screen phones. I used a Samsung touch screen phone and although I was impressed with the features, I was not happy with the touch screen concept. I prefer QWERTY Keyboard phones. This phone has a nice screen to view pictures and videos. Videos play smoothly without any jitters. Sound quality of the mono speaker is pretty good. Speakerphone works perfectly.
  Another thing that Kyocera-Sanyo engineers didn't notice is that while using this phone as a GPS, if the setting is set for the display to dim within few seconds, it dims while using GPS too and the TeleNav software(app) does not have a setting to keep display lit always while giving driving directions. I manually turn of display dimmer before using GPS.
  
  Honestly, I don't use camera's in cell phones. If I want to take pictures, I use a normal camera which has proper resolution features, optical-lens, optical-zoom, along with a proper camera flash and exposure levels. But it is good to have a camera in a cell phone in case you are someplace where you need to take a picture and you are not carrying your camera with you.
  
  The web browser and it's bookmarks settings is pretty good and easy to use with the navigation keys. In a few days I got used to the navigation key.
  
  Overall, this is a good phone and has all the functions that most people need in everyday life.

  Pros continued:
  *Navigation keys good
  *Free GPS Navigation useful especially to see latest traffic
  *Decent camera
  *MicroSD card slot is a plus
  *Secure battery compartment cover
  *Facebook app a plus
  *IM feature not free. $0.99 charge per day to use IM. (You can use IM from web browser for free).
  
  Cons continued:
  on Boost-mobile website for what to dial for sending international text messages although Boost-mobile has a plan which allows international text messaging)
  *Disappointing to see that World Clock is missing India timezone. (Has neighboring Pakistan time zone to west and Bangladesh timezone to east, and completely skipped world's second largest populous country - India's timezone. I hope next firmware update fixes this problem)
  *The rubber port-covers will not last as long as the phone itself. Should have used stronger plastic types used by Samsung and LG phones with matching body colors
  *Has bloatware from Boost like Hookt and IM messenger which are pay services

  Not a bad phone for the price

  by sabrelicious on September 30, 2011

  Pros: Qwerty keyboard is great for texting, which is why I got the phone
  Easy to figure out and operate (once you get past the unusual phone layout)
  Easy access to email and facebook
  Good battery life at first

  Cons: Camera quality is horrible
  Terrible service for making calls- dropped calls all the time, or couldn't even make a call
  Sometimes unable to send texts for unknown reasons
  Didn't receive texts until days later for unknown reasons
  Internet browsing is a

  Summary: I got this phone because I'm a big texter, and it served that purpose, especially since you get unlimited texts with the Boost plan. That's pretty much the only good thing about the phone, but it isn't a bad phone for the price. I'm excited to switch to a different service provider with better coverage so I can actually make phone calls and talk for longer than 10 minutes without my calls dropping or my phone freezing.

  Great functionality!

  by sydneyannemchugh on September 21, 2011

  Pros: *GPS
  *Internet Access
  *Decent Camera
  *Friendly interface
  *Very stylish
  *Gets a great signal. I had a Sanyo Mirro, and it wouldn't pick up signal unless I left my house. I live in the middle of the middle of nowhere in the geographical oddity mentioned in

  Cons: None that I have discovered so far. I mean, if you're snooty about your phone then you probably want a camera in your phone that you can use to create award winning photographs for national geographic as well as near perfect screen resolution and six mill

  Summary: In summary, I am getting much better cell reception, the calls so far as clear as crystal, the texting is lightning fast and the web use is like dsl. Very ...

  Summary: In summary, I am getting much better cell reception, the calls so far as clear as crystal, the texting is lightning fast and the web use is like dsl. Very acceptable, especially for the price. I'm not on the phone all day long, but when I am on the phone I like it to do what it's supposed to do. I am very excited to see how well the navigation app works, but I haven't tested it yet.
  
  Moreover, it's stylish and pretty. The keyboard, as many other reviews point out, is very user friendly. The buttons poke up so you can feel them, and there are all kinds of quick buttons that make texting really great even if you're not used to a qwerty keyboard. Personally, I was never a fan of them. I always thought the idea was nice, but the implementation usually meant microscopic buttons that I knew I would not be able to use efficiently. This phone, as promised by multiple online reviews, is very easy to use and text with. I appreciate that simplicity of design.
  
  In summary, this phone couldn't be beat for the price. It would be nice to carry the world's music, movie, and book library around with me. To me, though, this is exactly what I needed.

  Summary: I got this phone as a gift this past Christmas when my BlackBerry 8330 broke. I didn't choose the phone, otherwise I would've got a "smart phone".
  
  PROS: Really light-weight & compact. I love the fact that I'll always have a mirror on hand wherever I go. The speakers are LOUD, but it works when you're in a loud place. I text A LOT, so having a QWERTY keyboard is great! It's easy to work after a few days. GREAT battery life.
  
  CONS: When I start to reply to a text and someone else texts me, the phone freezes. Totally sucks because I have to pull the battery out several times a day. Also, when I delete a text and press "END" instead of "OK", it turns off. It may not be a HUGE deal, but I get 15% of my calls dropped. You need a LOT of light for good quality photos. Even if you think you have good lighting, the picture is dark. They should put in a flash.
  
  If you want a phone to make calls & text, this is a good phone.

  Pros: good battery life
  easy to navigate

  I have one and it does the job I expect it to do.

  by darcsyde747 on May 3, 2011

  Pros: the faceplate doubles as a mirror. I love the qwerty keyboard for easy and speedy texting. and I just downloaded Opera for easy and simple web surfing.

  Cons: the touchscreen needs to be recalibrate. to easy to the wrong keys for dialing.
