Sony Ericsson W395 Quad-band Cell Phone - Unlocked Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The 395 is for all intents and purposes a walkman... I had the opportunity to use this phone for a week and within that time found things likable and some not. Firstly, the good stuff... This phone is LOUD! compared to other walkman "esque" phones sone produces, this phone is capable of blasting music at literally half the level of the others and still is louder. The slide system is quite easy to open close... as well as carrying the basics everybody who wish for music to have in a walkman phone... bluetooth, m2 memory card, headphones etc. Call quality is pretty good and that volume helps a lot.
Now the not so good news... The first thing you'll realize is just how smooth this phone is... it doesn't inspire confidence it'll stay in your hand... not to mention the phone is a small phone so in large hands like mine it tended to feel like it'll fall out. Also the keypad though nice to look at for its smoothness isn't the best thing for text messaging people... also not an advantage with big hands. Sony designed this phone to be more basically a music phone than feature ridden and you will find that out when trying to download themes... these isn't any, or at least I was unable to... doing some digging it seems that many others were unable to do so as well. Also, Sony Ericsson was a bit stingy with the pixel quality of the screen... it really isn't the sharpest LCD to look at and at 176 x 220 sizes, you'll feel like you were watching an old Motorola v600 rather than a New Sony Ericsson w395. The menus are all basic, and some of the commands are a little dull. The camera isn't the best quality at 2mp, but it does its job.
All in all, if you are looking for a phone in which music is your priority, and not so much the screen quality and features, then buy this phone without hesitation... you'll thank yourself for doing so. But if you are like me who needs a slightly bigger phone and more image quality and features phone wise, then try another in the walkman range... the w760i and w705a are good alternatives in that sense.

Snapfon "ez ONE" Cell phone for Seniors w/ big buttons, Loud speaking keypad, so easy to see and use Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am 62 and searched for a simple easy to use cell phone and bought this one about a month ago. I think it is simpler than most, but I would like to see improvement. I hope with their next model that Snapfon will do the following.
1---Leave the Radio and ear plugs off. It is so cheap as to be useless, but we don't want a radio anyway. We want the best and simplest way to talk.
2---Leave off the alarm and calculator. We don't want that either. We would prefer to use our own alarm clock and calculator. Instead of these features use those 2 buttons to simplify the menu.
3---Turn this into a flip type phone for 2 reasons. When we carry it around our neck or in a pocket, it keeps hitting something and activating. Yes we can turn the number off and on, but we can't remember to do that. It is just one more unnecessary thing we don't need to have to do. The second reason for the flip phone would be so that when we are talking we have a phone that feels more like the phone we have had all our lives. One that reaches from the ear to the mouth. Then we wouldn't feel like we were talking to thin air instead of a person. Also I think a very large microphone could be put in the flip--ear part of the phone for better hearing.
I also suggest leaving the text feature off this phone. We DO NOT TEXT----and we don't even want to receive a text. This would also simplify the phone.
Last----simply as much as possible the menu for the things that are left.
I love the big buttons, and the lighted screen. With the above suggested improvements, I believe it could be the best cell phone on the market for seniors and other people who love SIMPLE EASY to USE.
Thanks and I hope to see a new improved model soon.
