I went from the worst phone in the world (The original chocolate) to one of the best I have ever owned. I have had this phone about 2 weeks now, I wanted to check for any glitches before I did a review....
MUSIC PLAYER
The music player is similar to the original chocolate in layout. It has clear crisp sound and several options for sound quality. Easy to sync with computer. And this time, the cord to sync comes with it, no more having to buy a music essentials kit! The addition to rhapsody is great as well. Also, even without using expandable memory the phone has quite a bit!! There is about 1GB on the phone... You can add a micro sd card up to 8 GB but really, who needs that much music?
FM TRANSMITTER
I have had great luck with this. I live in a good size city (Las Vegas) but I was still able to find a station to use, I have noticed that if I handle the phone while using the transmitter I do get some static, other than that it is clear and loud. I also love that if you get a call or text while listening, it will stop play, tell you by name who is calling or if not a contact will tell you the number that is calling, if you take the call the music will pick up where it left off. Well done!
CALLS
Since using this phone I have had no complaints about call quality.. Everyone can hear me fine and I can hear them, isn't that all that matters??
LOOKS
I purchased the black model, although in the sun it really looks like a dark blue instead of black. The shiny surface does attract some fingerprints, but all of my phones tended to do that. I love that you can access quite a few features from the front without even opening your phone, but it is a pain that the phone, when closed, locks immedieately and there seems to be no settings to delay that.
Overall, I am very happy with this phone, I was scared at first because of the horrible experience with the original chocolate (what a piece of junk!) but even my freind who purchased the Dare now says they wish they had gotten this instead.
