Great rugged phone
This phone is a great phone.... If your looking for other features.... Don't bother. Can't do picture mail, can't do video msging, can't do a lot of things. Well why the five star review? Because what it does, it does extremely well. I've had it on and used it daily for a week now and I'm only down to half battery.... Thats incredible. I took this phone to the beach .... And went swimming with it! No problem. Drunken fumbling.. No problem. This phone is great for day to day if all you need (or want) is a phone that just works.
I called the company only once and they were very helpful, they are sending me ( for free) a piece I lost. Just can't beat that kind of service.
Best feature
It can record phone calls! Very useful
Pros:
Battery life is better than almost anything
Rugged and waterproof
Their warranty is the best in the business and they stand behind it
Cons
Software is just bad... Some things you would think would be easy are either missing completely or just not usable
Screen is not scratch proof.. Don't key it
Sonim XP3 Quest Black
I've had various "tough" phones from nextel and the lastest from Samsun (A657) all meet a timely dimise eventually. Thats why i got this, the warranty. And used it just the 2nd day I had it to more or less test the abuse and warranty. Warranty is awesome, about a week turn around from destruction to replacement.
The call quality is pretty good (AT&T) the speaker gets a bit muffled if you dunk it then make a call but otherwise the ringer is LOUD!!! Vibrate is worthless. Battery life is about 6 or 7 days for me (texting all day and constant flashlight useage). I don't have the net so can't comment on it but for use as a phone and camera it works great.
The software that comes with it is worthless, just plug it in and use it as a USB storage device to transfer your photos. It also has no built in photo editing options.
Hands down the most durable phone I have ever had and when the 3 years is up, i will trash it to get a new one, then when it dies out of warranty i will buy another!!!! I'll never buy a regular phone again.
Did I mention it's water proof?? Ever get a call while you are in the shower? Just take it with you now. It's the easiest way to clean grit and grease off too i use my hand/nail brush to scrub it clean once a week while i'm in there.
