I just got one. I like it’s construction but the sound is terrible. It’s all crackly and distorted like a drivethru speaker. I’m not sure if it’s all of them, but I have read about others with the same problem. Personally I would get something else. I will be returning mine.
I’ve had mine for three days now and I’m fine with it. I didn’t get it to test all the features like waterproof and toughness. I’m sure I’ll find out soon enough anyway, but that is why I bought it. There is a video on the web where a boulder is frozen in ice, pulled out and immediately used to place a call. The vid really does sound distorted because of the frozen speaker. I would say there is no significant increase in sound quality over my 2 year ancient LG buzz, but it is comparable. It might be degraded over some other phones sound quality due to the dustproof, and waterproof stuff. I don’t get the crackling sound the previous assessor noted.
If I had a gripe or two it would be that for such a feature rich buzz and carrying the fee it does, I expected more ‘in the box’ stuff. I REALLY would have liked a USB cable, and if you’re listening Casio, the charger plugs into the dock or into the buzz with the same plug. Make the dock usb, which should charge and allow data conveying, and then the charger could be used without the dock. I could do without the hard of hearing adapter. Is the ADA that misguided?
The exterior buttons are too sensitive to involve the buzz in my pocket without constant beeps, which is weird, given that the buzz is aimed at the active demographic. No clip or case are included.
The buzz is not small, nor did I reflect it’s too large. But if you give this to your princess she’ll reflect it’s a boulder. On the upside it is much lighter than I had expected.
None of the places that I had reviewed really mentioned that it’s a still camera as well as a video camera.
These are first impressions, I place of protection’t tried push to talk, which I didn’t know until now, or the GPS.
