Sanyo S1 user review

Pros: Good battery life, clear sound quality, decent reception, slim, no camera(for those who have jobs that dont allow you to bring in a camera phone ie military)

Cons: Extremely slow text messaging in any mode(tap,t9, or word prediction),very slow applications, the ringer isnt very loud, cant load your own ringtones, the number pad is really cramped especially if you are trying to text, screen quality is really poor

Summary: If all you are going to be using the phone for is calling people then this might be the phone for you. If you like your phone to do anything besides just calling people then it probably wont make you very happy. I text message quite a bit and i have nearly smashed this phone on the ground several times because it is just so slow and laggy. I timed it once when i was texting just a simple "i love you" to my wife. From the time I inputed the text to when the text showed up on the screen it took 37 seconds. Everything else that is weird about the phone I can live with. The texting just makes me furious.
