T-Mobile Vairy Text

I really love this little phone!

i got it because i was basically looking for a cheapish phone (had an overall budget of £30) that had a qwerty keypad. I wasn't expecting much at all, which was great because when i got it it was a lovely suprise! the textings easy and the keys are nice and sensitive and don't do the annoying thing of skipping letters, and the screens bright and colourful, and the camera on it is quite nice as well. i havn't got the internet on it but i've heard it's quite good. the only problem i can see is the battery only lasts about 2-3 days when using it like me (send on average 40-60 texts a day), and looking through images is slow and lagging, but other than that i think this phone is really amazing! i would certainly recommend this phone to anyone looking for a quick texting, ergonomically pleasing phone thats not too intoconstantly taking photo's and playing music, though the music does go loud if thats what you want from it, but it only has 20mb memory, but i have a 2GB memory card in mine

I got this phone for Christmas and I was happy with the style as it looks like the much more expensive blackberry. The memory of the phone is outstanding as I fit a ton of songs on the phone without even having to use the memory card provided. I listened to the music on my phone in the shower and bath, and unlike my other phones did, the phone didn't break or become slower when the steam got into it. The thing I wasn't pleased about is the time it took to switch on and go onto the T-Mobile web-page. I would of liked to know before the purchase that the signal wasn't amazing. While using the earphones I noticed it was really quite and I could really hear that much if things were going on around me. Overall I would recommend the T-mobile Vairy Text to my friend but I wouldn't say its brilliant

Well,well,well....this phone is A-W-F-U-L whoever invented this phone...nice try but...HELL-TO-THE-NO. No where near the same quality as a blackberry i prefer my blackberry by far!

Screen- alright , i must say the layout is, so and so pretty clear but no i still prefer my bb

SIGNAL- FINE COULD DO BETTER

Layout- well, the bit i have been waiting for layout is pretty gd, again not like a bb except for the qwerty keyboard. i like the colour choice.Cud do better but still i think thats the best thing about the phone. The part that tries to convince someone that the phone is similar to a bb smartphone... which it is not.

So like i said. HELL-TO-THE-NO!

I bought this phone after reading numerous rave reviews detailing how similar it is to blackberries and how it was great value for money. Maybe I was expecting a bit too much for a phone that retails for £30 but I was quite disappointed. I downgraded after having fought with a touch screen phone for the last 11 months and decided to get a qwerty keyboard to make texting and e-mailing easier, and as the Vairy Text has this plus e-mail capabilities I thought it would be perfect. However, the internet is VERY slow, to the point where I got bored and gave up on several occasions. E-mail can be set up and manually checking for e-mail isn't really too much of a problem (I basically did this on my other phone as I usually had the internet switched off) but once again, checking e-mail is ridiculously slow. It took me literally 10-15 minutes to be able to access my inbox which was a far cry from my other phone which took a matter of seconds. Browsing (if you get to that point)is a bit cumbersome and the webpages' formatting changes, plus the text ends up very small. Being able to download some basic apps was also something that appealed to me but unfortunately I wasn't able to get anything to actually download - it just saved 0kb files instead.

Overall, if you need a basic phone to text or call on, this is great. I haven't seen many other low cost phones with qwerty keyboards and it feels like a good, solid phone that's unlikely to break if sat on (this is always something I need to take into account). BUT if you're buying it as a blackberry/smart phone replacement, I wouldn't advise it. It's slow and only has e-mail in the same capacity as phones did 3 years ago. You're better off saving up for a real blackberry or looking for a phone with 3G internet.

Bought this phone as a present to myself,to replace my two kind " hand me downs" from my family members who insisted I should learn computers.I love the style,the screen is great and texting is quite easy.I get on with the qwerty keyboard quite well and am finding endless applications I didn't know it has.Not tried the camera yet,but will some time.I have three payg accounts which I use to-gether with this phone alternately.The other two are unlocked.I must see if I can get this Vairytext unlocked to alternate with the others.I just love this phone.
