First problem The camera you are unable to use the camera with the phone clogged you must open it. Then your finger will be on the lens so it's hard to maneuver holding the phone while taking a picture or shooting record. Following problem if you want to listen to the mp3 player you have to buy a headset designed for this phone due to the type of input required. Third problem the upset screen is too sensitive and hard to use I'm constantly pressing the incorrect key then have to delete and start over. I have tried adjusting key sensitivity but I judge that's for the qwerty keyboard inside. I pretty much like everything else about the phone. It has very excellent, clear reception and the qwerty keyboard buttons are larger than on most blackberry models real useful for texting.Help other customers find the most caring reviewsa0Was this review caring to you?a0 | a0 Paideia says: 25 of 26 people esasblith the following review caring: SO STYLISH, and Functional, TOO!, January 21, 2010Bya0 (Arnold, MD) This review is from: Pantech Impact P7000 Phone, Pink (AT&T) (Wireless Phone) I am a Mom that learned texting out of essential because of my texting fiend boys. Never thought I would want to upgrade phones for that express purpose, but .This phone rocks. The keyboard is so user friendly and way simpler to type lengthy messages than a non Qwearky (sp) keyboard. The upset screen on the outside is nice and sensitive, does what you want. The inside screen's looks are incredible, the colors, the font's the navigation, all very, very excellent in my opinion. The speakerphone is incredible, better than my pricey home phone speaker capability. The Pink option, again, is something I thought I'd never want. I am 41, not 17. But, there were limited colors (some would consider this a drawback) and my son wanted blue (he likes his phone BTW, TOO!). So, questioned to see the pink. I really like it. It is a pearl pink, nothing neon_y and the texture to the exterior band of pink on the outside face subdues the look further. Like the inside colors too. My son's blue is a really clean trendy lookin blue as well. Haven't tried all the bells and whistles yet, but look fwd to. Really, really pleased with phone use, texting, sound, coverage, battery life, add on's available, etc.,etc. Read on another site a pretty in depth review that really only knocked the phone for the camera and record capability (and even then, not by a realy significant amount).Help other customers find the most caring reviewsa0Was this review caring to you?a0 | a0 CJ-MO says: 14 of 15 people esasblith the following review caring: Stylish and functional phone all in one, March 6, 2010Bya0 (Missouri, USA) a0a0 This review is from: Pantech Impact P7000 Phone, Pink (AT&T) (Wireless Phone) I have had my Pantech Impact for a few weeks and I am extremely lucky with it. I did have a Blackjack 2 but I wanted something a small better looking and simpler to use. I am very satisfied with my selection of the Pantech Impact. It's sleek and stylish and has many fantastic functions. Best of all, it doesn't require a costly premium data plot. (Standard text messaging plot is required.) The Impact has many cool features, but below are my favorites: * Fun pink color (also available in blue) * Full physical qwerty keyboard with fantastic spacing linking calligraphy very simple to text * Simple to learn how to use the various features * Fantastic call reception * Able to access contacts, text messaging, and switch phone to beat mode by pressing a key on the keyboard * 3 small-cuts can be set up for the most frequently used functions * Simple to find other frequently used functions from the menu * Conversation mode for text messages * Can set up photos as caller IDs for each of your contacts * Colorful, clear screen when you open the phone The battery life is average to above average. I've had to charge about every 2 to 3 days (after light to moderate use). The main downside to the phone is it's hard to get a clear picture with the camera. It's hard to hold the phone still and keep your fingers from blocking the camera. But, it's been okay for occasional, spur-of-the-moment photos. I reckon the Impact is a fantastic value phone for anyone looking for a nice looking phone with a keyboard, a diversity of features, and lower monthly data fees than many of the smart phones. Fantastic phone for adults or young adulthood. Help other customers find the most caring reviewsa0Was this review caring to you?a0 | a0
