The Discussion
see what everyone is saying
I have just returned from LG enV2 for Samsung Sway. Verizon LG employee talked to me and I went, because I have always loved LGS. However, the enV2 has been for me, because it was too heavy and it felt uncomfortable to talk about it. I have a real need for the best PHONE there, not necessarily the best text messages from your device. That’s why I went with Sway. In short, this is the best (so far) by telephone there, unless you plan to use text or strongly tons of information about the characteristics of the service. It is light, stylish and crystal clear. Build quality is supurb (looks and feels like all metal, while the back is made of plastic) and the speakerphone is tough and easy to use. The screen is the nicest I’ve seen – bright and sharp. The camera has enough time to 2MP. User interface and operation is simple and very moving. Although the keyboard looks a bit cramped to begin with, it is not a reality – in practice it works well.
I do not really have anything new to add, but I know that when you read about me is a good thing when you weigh things up with previous posts. For this purpose, in my opinion:
Pros —-< br /> * The phone is good, especially compared to the current crop phones Verizon.
* It is thin.
* minus the problem by pressing the open (see below), it seems, at least, the slider phone.
* The sound quality if you have a speakerphone or not it feels good.
Cons —-< br /> * UPDATE: battery life will vary. Sway to the original battery was horrible and I lambasted it in this criticism. But since I have been able to replace it and respectable battery life. Sway, I had my first download, every night, even for a minor use (1 hour talk, 25 txts sent). I took it back to the Verizon store and they said the battery was good and it was just because I have lived in poor service and so that the phone was good, and they do not replace it. I found that even if the phone is exactly as advertised * * Up to 270 min, but I can reasonably expect something in the vicinity (especially since I did not have any thing to my old phone). 100 minutes was not near 270 min. After some back and forth, they agreed on a new Sway me, even though they were convinced that it would change nothing. Lo and behold, even if the new Sway get a good battery life – 3 days or so the value is used about 180 hours of talk time and 100 txt and sent to content recvd.
* As previous reviewers are talking texting is the time delay. It should be noted, and it’s really annoying sometimes, but I would also say that it is acceptable.
* You do not touch the screen by sliding the phone open. This is a question I have sustainability. Always press on the screen eventually damage the screen? I do not know yet, but it is a concern. This is of course also means that the screen always fingerprints, but it does not bother me.
* Vibrate function is not very strong, and it is not always obvious. I think that vibrate when I’m wearing jeans (tighter than the pants), but do not always know when I’m dressed in business briefs (looser than jeans), or if I have a pocket phone jacket.
I added that information earlier than that comment, but I thought I send it again so that more people can see it. This phone is great for working with The Kinks (text of law and battery). After searching the web for hours about how to fix the text quickly and miserable battery, I found some answers. Both have done for me:
1 The text of the delay can be limited in time, Software Update Verizon. Just go to your nearest Verizon store and ask them to download the latest software. It takes about 30 minutes and is free.
2 Can someone post a solution to battery problems, so I thought I would share it. Follows:
– Connect the charger to the phone.
– Remove the battery. Wait 10 seconds.
– Replace the battery in.
– Give it for free.
If this method does not work:
– Remove the battery. Wait 10 seconds.
– Connect the charger to the phone.
– Replace the battery in.
– Enter the phone fee.
When the battery is fully charged, it should be a degree of power in a few days. Was my phone just the last 1 days, but now it takes 3-4 days.
Obviously, both your phone and battery capacity is not read correctly. When the download is only a short time, it is of the opinion that the battery is fully charged and stop charging even if it is not. Anyone else notice that the payment period is really short? Anyways, does the battery trick is to take the real phone battery so that it would expose the whole trip. Good luck!
I got the phone about three weeks ago, and I think it works well. The screen is very clear, texting is easy, it looks good, the quality of the phone seems to be okay. The menus are easy to use and so is the camera and camcorder. The battery seems fine. Verizon says it is ~ 4 5 hours of use and 312 hours of standby time. In standby mode, time stretching it a lot. I tend to download it was two or three days, but a lot of text. Overall, this phone is awesome, and I would definitely recommend it.
I bought this phone yesterday after having spent several days on-line by comparing the phones offered by Verizon. I debated between this and the LG enV2, but in the end I liked Sway more. So far, I do not regret my decision: The phone is light, stylish, easy to use, good screen, camera and video camera is fun. Although I have a semi-professional camera and iPod, it’s good to know that I can take pictures and listen to music anytime. And 8GB microSD is a big plus, a large space to save anything:) I like really good, I’m used to on the phone or MP3 ringtones to use them. The menu is simple to navigate, easy to edit, texting is easy. Overall – a good phone!
