Reiko Silicone Premium Durable Protective Deals

This review is from: Reiko SLCPC06-ZTEWARPBKHPK Silicone Premium Durable Protective Case with Kickstand (Boost Mobile) for ZTE Warp (N860) - 1 Pack - Retail Packaging - Black/Hot Pink (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I can actually say that the list price of this item is fair and the actual price is a gift! This is that rare product that covers all bases. There is nothing missing here for my needs:

1. I like to feel my gadget in my hands. I dont like to have my gadget popping out of my palm when I'm multi-tasking. This creates a solid and secure grasp that is not heavy. Perfect.

2. I dont want a bland color...a cover also serves to make my phone stand out on a movie theater floor or in a dark restaurant. I have had a black phone swooped up inside a menu and the entire meal was destroyed looking for the phone making numerous trips to the car. It was a nightmare. I want my phone to scream 'HERE I AM!"

3. This has a deep dish effect which you dont really see until you get it in your hand. By that I mean the screen is deeply recessed and protected from scratches, impacts and anything that might damage the screen (which by the way on this phone is gorgeous).

4. This incredibly cheap product is incredibly well made. The shell snaps together flawlessly and then the silicone piece has these tiny flanges that hook into the hard shell. Did I say I'm impressed?

The kickstand is an extra bonus. It disappears unless you need to use it.

Fantastic product. Great packaging. Immediate delivery.

Nothing better. Flawless.

I was excited when i got this. a lot of good things to say about this product. the plastic underneath rubber encases and protects your ZTE, with time and probably a lot of sun exposure the plastic case will crack (like the mop bucket you always keep outside during the summer). The rubber is flexible & durable it of course protects the plastic, from sun & heat exposure. But wait! if you hate the plastic covering, you can use another case of any material (Plastic,Rubber,Silicone ETC.)& slip the black rubber over that first ZTE cover. The back part of the rubber Exposes the first case... I recommend this to everbody! Its a great product & i am definately purchasing more colers. Another Thing Inside the plastic case youll find what appears to be black tape, do not rip it off!! it helps with the kickstand function. Hope this helped

Para quien lo busque en Venezuela, este teléfono tiene dual SIM, sin embargo, solo una SIM trabaja con el 3G, levanta el 3g en 850 y 900 Mhz por lo que lo hace compatible con todas las operadoras de nuestro país.

I'm going to end up returning this phone... Not so much because of problems, but for mislabeling some specs and it being weaker than I really wanted. As a whole, this phone is actually quite nice.

Build quality is actually quite good. While it doesn't found quite as well made as some of the well-known brands, it still feels very sturdy. Some people may not like the feel of the back cover, but I was fine with it. The texture allowed for plenty of grip but it didn't gather too much lint or get hung in your pockets.

The screen was much better than expected. Colors looks very bright and vibrant with very even lighting. It was certain just as good as my previous phone (Motorola Atrix). The touch-screen was a different story though. The middle was fine, but sensitivity dropped drastically around the edges. Many times it would require multiple presses before registering the touch. Very annoying at times...

Call quality and audio surprised me. I had no complaints from people I spoke with, and the ear piece was very loud and clear. The speaker phone (or playing music/rings) sounded wonderful as well. By far the best I've heard for a phone not being advertised as having some special "Beats Audio" or something like that!

Software...well there is none. This phone has Android 4.0 and that's it. Unfortunate if you did want other utilities or like the bloatware/demos, but so you can load specifically what you want on the phone.

Over-all performance was good. I was a little disappointed in the scrolling speeds in Opera as compared to my Motorola. Not terrible, but much more laggy. And using this phone also caused it to warm up...and when I say warm I mean melt! Not literally but after about a 30 minute conversation, the phone was quite uncomfortable to hold.

Battery life was good. I didn't have it long enough to really test it but moderate usage should yield a day without too much difficulty. Still a phone that'll need to be charged daily.

So to end... for a good, unlocked, middle to low-end phone, this is a very good choice. It's far from perfect but still better than other "generic" phones I've used in the past.

Tmobile Concord Zte V768 Phone Deals

This review is from: Tmobile Concord Zte V768 Phone (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I really did like my phone. This was my first smartphone and it is super easy to understand. It does not have much storage space but when I purchased it a memory card came with it. So here comes the but... MAke SURE THAT YOU BUY A PROTECTIVE COVER AND HAVE A WARRANTY/PROTECTION PLAN. I had my phone in my lap and forgot it was there so when I got out of the car it fell on its back and the screen cracked into little tiny pieces. It didn't even land on the screen! Said all this to say that yeah. It was my fault BUT its really sensitive to falls. My prior phone which fell more than a dozen times has minor bruises but the screen is still in tact. Just something to consider. I have a plan where they will replace the phone for me for free so I am good.

I bought this phone for under 100.00 at WalMart and I got the 2GB sim card which I of course had to pay extra for but it is worth it. The phone so far to me has not let me down. With the phone you get the unlimited web, talk, and text for 45.00. What I don't like is the web only has 250 mb of memory and in order to receive more memory you have to pay extra for 1GB which is 10.00/month and for 2GB is 20.00 I believe. I only have had this phone for a few days and found out with this phone that it needs to be re-booted at least once a day or you will lose your ring tones like I did until I re-booted the phone. I guess with any electronics you would have to do that. But the phone is attractive and light make sure you get a case for it, probably for any phone as well to protect your investment. To me the phone is a learning experience with all the bells and whistles since my last phone was a flip phone that really did not have a lot of features. So if you want a good starter android smartphone, I would recommend this one.

I bought this phone for my sons as an inexpensive add on to my current plan. Kids are just too irresponsible with expensive high dollar phones and some of the cheap pay as you go phones don't even have wifi. This phone was a perfect go between. I have an iPhone 5 and I was jealous that they could download songs for free and I had to pay a dollar and change per. These phones have the newer Android Os 3.2 I beleive which is way more robust and user friendly. I also like how you can use the Google Voice App at home or office and make free wifi calls and free wifi SMS texting. I think I'm going to sell my Iphone 5 and get an Android again. The last time I used Android was with the Motorola Clique on 1.6 and it was horrid. This time, even on this cheaper pay as go phone I'm hooked and going back.

Holster Combo II with Holster Clip and. Deals

This review is from: Holster Combo II with Holster Clip and Kick Stand for ZTE Warp N860 - Black (Wireless Phone Accessory)
Can not get a better case for the warp. I have had 4 different cases and this is by far the best. I feel like I could throw it at a wall and nothing would happen, not that I've tried. Built in covers for charger port and headphone jack.(I had to buy plugs for those to protect from dust and dirt at work) Until otterbox comes out with a defender for the warp, (the commuter is crap when it comes to protection)this is definately the best case you can get.

The first thing we do is get new cases when me and my hubby get new phones, and he actually picked these out. They are great! They have a stand to prop them on the belt clip, and the hard part of the case on the back of the phone. I'll admit, I don't really use the belt clip much, but, when I do, I've never had problems. I think this was the best case out there for the money, and I would recommend it to anyone who needs a case for this phone.

I wasnt going to write review for this case until today. I recieved my case a month ago and have loved the durability and build quality since recieving it.but i did not know how strong this case was until today. I threw my phone against the wall twice today and made a hole in the wall bolth times. The phone hit on the corner, the weakest part and it is still as good as new. This case coupled with a skinomi screen protector will turn your smart phone into a brick. I highly suggest this case to anyone who is clumsey or has some anger problems like myself.

This case is unbelievable for the price. It's the same color as described. It's very durable - has a sturdy colored plastic cover under a flexible black cover. I've had the cover on and off and it works wonderful. I've purchased two of these and love them both.

ZTE X500 Score Prepaid Android Phone Deals

By Stacy (USA) -
This review is from: ZTE X500 Score Prepaid Android Phone (Cricket) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
When I purchased this phone it worked fine. The battery life is absurd! Even if you don't use the phone, it dies within a few short hours. I had the phone less than 60 days and it would no longer hold a charge. I exchanged the phone under the manufacturer warranty and then Cricket wanted to charge me $15 to activate the phone under my existing phone number. I argued with them and they waived the fee. I'm now about 60 days out from having the second phone and it's no longer holding a charge. I purchased an extended warranty through Best Buy when I originally purchased the phone, but I'm not even sure I'm going to exchange it. I'll just end up needing a new phone in another 60 days. Don't waste your time, go with Virgin Mobile or T-mobile. The only thing positive about this phone was the navigation feature... but you can get that on any phone. I've had cheap $20 track phones that worked better than this.

Ok I bought this phone after my Cricket Lg Optimus C Android Lw690 2.2 3g Brand New fizzed out in September. The phone is about $25-45 bucks cheaper and has a Muve music plan. However I stayed with original Android plan since the app market has several options where I can download music for free. As for the overall performance of the phone, the sound is not as good as the LG Optimus C. The sound passage is in the back of this unit where the Optimus has the sound come through the earpiece. The weight of the phone feels lighter than the Optimus. If you like such than great, personally I like my phones with a little weight in case of damage. The market though is a 2.3.4 gingerbread which is good but if you looking for certain apps (i.e. on tumblr and go sms) that you may have used on a 2.2 model it won't be found since these apps are not yet supported. The data memory is awful. Even using a 16gb card to transfer apps the internal memory fills up quicker than it would the Optimus. Pros -- like any Droid device if you are familiar with it you won't have a problem. The screen and browser speed runs crisp despite its 600 mhz versus the 1ghz on the Optimus. In terms of height, weight and ounces compared to the iphone 4: 4.4 inches x 2.5 inches x 0.5 inches; 4.5 oz (zte); 4.5 inches, 2.31 inches x 0.37 inches; 4.9 oz (iphone).

Spec says:

Memory expansion via microSD card slot with support for optional cards up to 32 GB (4 GB card included).

First, ZTE's tech support claims expandable to 16GB. When I tried putting in 8 and 16GB cards, the phone did not recognize them. And when I tried to format them, will only format as 2GB.

Cricket tech support claims that a special dual-partitioned card is required since this phone was made specifically for their "MUVE MUSIC" service, but can't even find me a Cricket Corporate Store where I can buy one, and neither is this special card listed for sale on their website.

ZTE Warp Sequent Prepaid Android Phone Deals

By T. Benson (Richmond, Va. USA) - S
This review is from: ZTE Warp Sequent Prepaid Android Phone (Boost Mobile) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
The ZTE Warp Sequent is very, very capable cell phone. I am coming from the Transform Ultra. I wanted to upgrade to a larger screen, so my review comes from the perspective of a person that uses his cell phone primarily to watch Netflix, Reddit, read the news etc. Though the Galaxy SII has the largest screen out of the Boost lineup, it is a full 170 bucks more expensive than the Sequent. I am on Boost because it is a cheap service. Buying a very expensive phone would kind of negate the entire reason I am on Boost. OK, enough of that. Here are the Pros and Cons as I see them.

Pros: Very large, bright screen. Good pixel density, so movies and apps look great. Runs Ice Cream Sandwich. Not the latest incarnation (Jellybean) but still a massive leap over Gingerbread IMO. The phone isn't blazing fast, but it hasn't had a problem with most of the apps I use (again, Netflix, BBCnews, Reddit, Broken Sword, and Nova Launcher). The phone is thin, sleek, and has a very nice design.

Cons: As others have said, the battery life leaves much to be desired. HOWEVER, I downloaded JuiceDefender (the basic is free on android marketplace) and that did wonders for my battery life. The phone is 1.4 GHz snapdragon processor. It is NOT a speed demon. If you use your phone for processor heavy apps, then maybe you should consider the Galaxy SII.

Conclusion: A great, capable phone at a very good price. I'd be lying if I said it didn't have its faults, but at $200 it is still the best in terms of quality/price that boost has.

Honestly this phone is superb. Even though setting up for me but a lil bit difficult because i messed around and something went wrong. So i contacted tech support. They were super nice and resolved my problem in less than 5 minutes. The phone just need a remote setting refresh because as stated before after messing around with the settings i had barely any bars inside a building. But once tech support refreshed my phone remotely, i had incredible top notch reception. Camera is superb, nice call and speaker quality, nice sharp screen in my opinion, and fast data speed. For those who use the GPS "android navigation" you can actually hear the GPS notifications with windows down and wind blowing inside the car. That is deffinitely an A+ since i drive alot. How ever one thing for sure is the battery like all androids are not as great. In my results i can get about 9 hours of battery life before it reaches 25%. Thats alot of battery left, but in my opinion its the phone's way of saying "you better find an outlet for me." So the bottom line is that this phone is worth the money.

I've had the ZTE Warp Sequent through Boost Mobile for about five months. It's broken irreparably twice.

The phone has generally performed very well. I've installed and run a variety of apps, all with very reasonable performance. There's plenty of storage for software and data, and the Warp Sequent has been very responsive. I don't stream a lot of video or run any computation-intensive apps, so I can't speak to high-end performance, but for everyday talking, texting, and surfing, the Warp Sequent gets the job done.

Call quality and WiFi connectivity have both been very stable. The battery lasts about a day with an average amount of usage. I've never had to charge it except overnight.

On the other hand, when the Warp Sequent fails, it fails spectacularly. Mine lasted only 34 days before it began shutting down constantly -- and I do mean "constantly". Even dialing half of a number on the newly-restarted phone was enough to make it restart again. I had to send the device back to ZTE for repair.

Here, ZTE makes clear why this phone is cheaper than its competitors. Getting a replacement took about 2.5 weeks, end to end, including time for several phone and e-mail exchanges with ZTE. The customer must also pay the shipping cost to get the phone to their repair center (though ZTE pays for the return trip).

That's a long time without a phone. Boost Mobile will send a loaner phone if you call to request one, but even that takes several days to arrive, and then it's the cheapest flip phone available.

I've been entirely pleased with the Warp Sequent's performance, features, usability, and stability while it was working. But now that it's broken for a second time, I will be purchasing something from a different manufacturer to replace it.

ZTE Warp Android Smartphone Deals

By Mr. Richard Martinez "Rich" (Middletown, USA)
This review is from: ZTE Warp Android Smartphone (Boost Mobile) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
After experiencing problems with my boost mobile Blackberry model 8330 I decided to upgrade. Circulation of the ZTE Android is limited so I couldn't locate one through a retailer. However, I ordered it direct through Boost Mobile and it arrive in three days. Boost Mobile customer service activated the new phone and kept my original phone number without charge.

Pros:
The phone is impressive with a 5.1" height.
It has a reasonably large touchscreen (for videos & touchscreen apps)
It weights only 4.93 ounces
Features a 5MP Camera

Cons:
Despite a reasonable variety of accessories available through the Boost Mobile store and elsewhere (ebay; amazon; android central) it remains difficult to find high quality cases such as the Otter Case (retails for approx. $50), which was recommended to protect the phone. Did find some flimsy rubber cases.

Accessories available through Boost Mobile:
- Universal Screen Protectors
- In Stock SanDisk® 8GB Mobile Ultra(tm) microSDHC Memory Card w/ Reader
- In Stock Micro-USB vehicle power charger PLUS
- In Stock Plantronics M100 Bluetooth Headset
- In Stock LG Stereo Bluetooth Headset HBS-700

Over the month I've had the phone there has been only one service interruption, which never reoccurred. Further, I prefer prepaid to contracts service because it makes good financial sense although I can certainly afford the either. I have had a long standing relationship with several contract phone carriers although Boost Mobile remains the best prepaid phone service. Perhaps, a wider variety of cases will become available over the upcoming months. I rated the phone with 5-stars despite the challenges associated with finding a better after-market quality case.

Got a Boost Mobile ZTE Warp and when it proved to have a defective charging port, they refused to honor their warrantee. I had it for only 2 months and had to make numerous calls to their cust. service, which is in India. It didn't matter that I had not abused their defective product, they just were not going to make it right. Choose another brand, if you want a phone that works
By DD "tudorose" (Arizona) -
This review is from: ZTE Warp Android Smartphone (Boost Mobile) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I wanted to own a smartphone, but I didn't want to be locked into a 2-year contract which would cost hundreds to cancel. This ZTE phone through Boost Mobile fit the bill perfectly, and the bang for your buck comes with the "shrinking bill." When you pay your monthly bill on time for 18 months your bill goes down $15.00 per month. You can't beat that. The phone is the perfect size and is feature rich. The screen is nice and bright---perfect for playing games and surfing the web, and the colors are vibrant. The reader has a "night reading" feature which changes the screen to black and the letters to white and you can enlarge the font. That is so much easier on the eyes, especially when I'm reading on the bus and the lighting is dim at best. Actually there are some other great features with the reader function. Perhaps all smartphones have the same features. I just know that I'm impressed that I can actually enjoy reading on a 4.3 inch screen. I've had no problems with the phone other than the sound quality of calls being a little fuzzy. I have to admit that I use the phone for reading, playing games, and surfing the web far more than I use it to make calls. Battery life isn't great as is the case with almost all smartphones, however, you can use the phone while it's charging. The downside to that is the cord isn't very long so you have to be close to an outlet. I'm really pleased with this surprisingly affordable phone and it's a plus to have the Android Gingerbread operating system in place. It's fast and easy to use. The price on Amazon is pretty good but I got a better deal buying the phone from Boost. I would recommend this phone to first-time smartphone buyers and anyone who wants a great 3G, Wi-Fi enabled smartphone with no contract. That's the best feature of all. I can't speak to the longevity of the phone---it's too early to tell if this phone will last for the long haul. But I can definately say so far, so good. One last comment: I found a package on Amazon which included a nice, sturdy phone case with a magnetic closure, a car charger, USB cable, and an electric outlet charger for a very reasonable price. I like having the extra chargers and the USB cable, which was not included with the phone, is a plus when I want to download from my PC.

AT&T ZTE Avail Z990 Unlocked GSM Phone Deals

By Gary J. Josie -
This review is from: AT&T ZTE Avail Z990 Unlocked GSM Phone with Android 2.3 OS, 5MP Camera, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and microSD Slot - Black (Wireless Phone Accessory)
First smartphone - provides all essential smartphone features plus WiFi for free internet use, GSM for international travel, micro SD expandable card, mature OS (2.3.4), unblocked (I use AT&T prepaid and my wife uses T-Mobile prepaid) so unblocked provides flexibility to transfer SIM cards depending on minutes remaining. I have pushed the phone pretty hard over the last few weeks - downloading about 15 apps and numerous calendar entries. I opened .pdf files, several mp3 files, played with the 5MP camera (very nice) and even forced myself to write and send several emails. The ability to access free web usage is particularly nice even on a 3.5 inch screen. I have tested at home, in two different libraries, at Starbuck's and Peet's, always a fast auto detect signal and I am on - with no data plan costs (an early download was the free AVG AntiVirus app - essential for any mobile OS nowadays).

Only annoyance is that I wish the power off start-up cycle were faster (30 seconds before 3G signal lock). This is slower than my previous Razor feature flip phone, but the ZTE is doing more work than the Razor too, so I can live with this given the great price $79.95 and no contract.

This review is from: AT&T ZTE Avail Z990 Unlocked GSM Phone with Android 2.3 OS, 5MP Camera, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and microSD Slot - Black (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I needed a Android smartphone for my trip to Europe. I chose this phone because: it was pretty affordable and the company was near (NYC).

When the package arrived I was extremely happy that the phone turned out to be pretty small. The screen and the layout of the keys is just perfect. I have to admit I like the phone much more than my Bionic when it comes to size and ergonomics.

The overall quality is at least satisfactory if not good. The LCD performs pretty well in the sun. The screen is responsive. The speaker is pretty loud although a little on a muted side (the Bionic has much more trebled sounds). The talk quality is good.

The only drawback is the battery life (fully charged in the morning, discharged by 11pm after like 30 mins. talktime, few txt msgs., some browsing the web over the 3G as well as GPRS and EDGE). But - you can live with it if you do not use the handset too much. Good phone. "B" from me.

So I bought this phone as a replacement for my water-logged Samsung Focus, which I absolutely loved. I was drawn to the Avail because it offers the android experience at a very affordable price, especially outside of a contract. However, the low-grade hardware in the phone really limits the OS's ability to perform. Most of the apps ran slow and there was constant struggles with internal memory vs. sd memory. The basic features of the phone worked fine such as texting, email and calling, but if I wanted a basic phone I'd pick one up for $20 off amazon. I think my disappointment stems from the fact that I had high expectations because of the android OS but neglected the fact that it was only $105 (at the time I bought it). At that price of course they can't include top of the line hardware and the best android experience around. So you get what you pay for. The phone is solid and is a smartphone, but its not the best which I'm sure most of you already knew.

This review is from: ZTE V967S Quad-core MTK6589 5.0 Inch QHD with Android4.2 1.2GHz Dual Sim Dual Cam (Wireless Phone Accessory)
First off I have owned a lot of phones from iPhone's to windows 8 and high end Android phone so know what good looks like, this is relatively chunky, and large in the hand. The screen is ok, not great and you can see the wires in the digitizer.
The screen itself has very good viewing angles and the colors are not bad, it does have a fairly low resolution, falling between the original iPhone and retina, best described as adequate rather than sharp.
The camera is fairly rubbish, with pretty bad compression and poor detail.
Sound is good and speaker clarity is as good as any other standard mobile.
Battery life is great on account of the energy efficient CPU and crazy size battery.
Performance is astonishing, I had a tegra 3 LG p880 before this and this feels much much much slicker I really cannot emphasise that point enough this feels a very fast phone. I have played 3d games such as judge dredd and this runs it smooth as butter.
I haven't used the dual sim facility but will say 3g performance is poor expect 2mbps Max out of this no matter where you are, my LG gave 6 and my Samsung ativ gave 11!!
This phone problem is software. There are some very slick Samsung s4 roms out there that are great but the problem with them is they crash all the time with Bluetooth and calls. I have tried several and I am forever being"reset" with prompts for sim pin. But for this we would definitely be looking at4 stars. Will update if get a decent rom.
