I bought myself a Samsung Mesmerize and loved it so much that I wanted to switch my wife over to an android phone. So I got her an acclaim. She didn't really want a full touch screen phone, thats why I opted to get that one. Right now, she hates it, but I think she is getting used to it. She had a BB Tour. Now, I love Blackberry, but I was lil tired of the same ol thing all the time with Blackberry. Never changing up the overall look, it became boring. I notice that the acclaim can be a lil harder to operate than the mesmerize sometimes, but overall its an awesome phone.
When you look for a used Acclaim or any smart phone make sure it has the little memory card and directions/manual. You can't take a picture without the card. The card cost me $28 and I went through 130 sheets of paper downloading the manual. My last several phones had better reception than my Acclaim. On the plus side the pictures it takes are great. For me the access to email and internet is sure nice. My kids came home and showed me how to watch a video on You Tube, I cannot download that fast on our wireless broadband. The slide out keyboard is my first and I like that. I have not figured all of it out but I will with time, then I will be happier I'm sure. If you are looking for smart phone know the monthly charges from your provider before making the plunge.
This is the first Android that US Cellular released. It's a really slick phone, and similar in most functions to the Mesmerize (the phone I have). I am glad we were able to pick this phone up on eBay as my wife didn't have a smart phone to go along with our plan. I will say there are times when it seems to take awhile to respond to a requested action or when it doesn't seem to hold a charge very well, but otherwise - it is the reliable Android that most of us have come to love. Hope this helps!
I love this phone, it may seem to complicated but don't give up it really does become so easy to use and I'm computer illiterate. My husband even liked my phone so much better tha his he got rid of his NEW phone to purchase one of these, I love that it has the keyyboard, and when new upgrades come out you don't have to wait and get the new phone to enjoy the upgrades they just apply the upgrades to your smart phone and it truly is a smart phone. They have virtualy every ring tone and wall paper you could imagine and most are free, the wifi is even faster than my computer at home.
While it didn't have alot of features this phone is still a very good starter phone. Its lightweight, very good battery life, and gets better reception when compared to 2 other phones i have(Huawei M835, and Samsung Admire; they both have great reception but the admire always had one bar more than they did) in the building I work in. Although the camera is only 3mega pixels the Led flash really helped clear up the picture. For a little more money the next level upgrade would be the Samsung Admire but you would lose the flash.
