Pros: Great looking phone, packaged nicely and a refurbished phone with no dings or dents. I thought it would be a great fit.
Cons: I put my phone card in and a charged battery, turned it on and it took forever to recognize the network. When I tried to make a call, it was like a someone was shaking a box of rice crispies in the reciever.
Other Thoughts: RMA was fast and I am shipping it back today the same day I recieved it. I am a little disappointed with the shipping arrangements though. I paid for shipping to get here, and now I have to pay for shipping it back when the phone was bust from the beginning.

Pros: Compatible and offers all the standard cell phone stuff you can want. Pictures are fairly clear considering what you pay for. Also a flip phone, so you won't randomly dial people from the pocket. Straight forward navigation of tools and such.
Cons: NO MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. Biggest drawback by far. I needed a cell phone so I got one of these oem products and knew that it would be a good idea to get some kind of insurance in case something happened to it. Well something did. When the phone arrived, I noticed a screw was loose and after looking at it closer, it wasn't even the right screw; I could gently pry open the casing to reveal the circuitry. I decided to stick with it since I only planned on using it until my contract expired. I was using the phone for about 3 months and when it started to slowly disintegrate. First, the speaker for none speaker phone mode went, then the directional pad, then the 9 key (imagine trying to call emergency personnel). Finally, the screen stopped displaying things and I couldn't call anyone anymore as a result of all these failures.
My experience with cell phones has generally been they take a lot of abuse from me, but this phone was honestly treated with kid gloves.
Other Thoughts: If you get this phone keep in mind what you are buying. You have no warranty and if you are to get one through a 3rd party like me, be prepared for them to not really honor the contract and buy it out.
If you really want a simple phone that you can use and not spend a lot on, then go to just about any electronics store and get a go phone for like 20 dollars. Its covered by some kind of warranty and if not, its only 20 dollars.

Rating: 5/5Just Reflash and Go
Pros: In answer to the comment about getting T-Mobile messages and connection problems to ATT. You can reprogram the phone with new software to lose and T-Mobile custon features and logos. If you have a usb cable from your computer to the phone you can simply flash the phone and remove what you do not want or need. Go to these web site to learn how to reflash and repair your phone. Take you Time and Do It Right the First Time ! ! ! http://www.themotoguide.com/razrdisassembly.php and http://www.themotoguide.com/flashingflexingpst.php Just read and understand before you start. Always with a fully charged battery. Enjoy these phones are true workhorses and at this price better than having to sign 2 year contacts. I have used these for over 4 years and have rebuildt 3 of these that all look at act brand new. Enjoy another Five Start Super Saver from NewEgg
Cons: It is a phone that was at the high end of phones a few years back. So you have a better than basic phone but not the best of of the best. Of course it does not cost over $500.00.
Other Thoughts: Go to the web site there are a few of them that can show you everything you need to repair and reflash/flex (Programing for cell phones) The parts are cheap to replace from online auctions and the software is on the web free to use for flashing.

Rating: 3/5
Pros: after inserting my SIM i had no trouble making phone calls (huge advantage over previous phone)
Cons: was T-Mobile branded, causing the following problems: -no access to ATT data network features -received strangely worded text msg from t-mobile every time i turned the phone on advising me to set up my phone for use on the network. (fortunately, i have a data plan and this did not cost me extra)
Other Thoughts: I only had this phone for about a week before I replaced it. There was nothing wrong with the phone itself, other than the problems caused by using a T-Mobile phone on the ATT network. Fortunately, I was able to trade it out for another RAZR that was branded ATT at an independent cell phone repair/sales shop in a 1-for-1 swap.

Rating: 5/5easily rebranded
Pros: Very reliable, goodbattery life, bluetooth, hands free speakerphone built in
Cons: none really
Other Thoughts: with a usb cable and free sotware from the web, this tmoblie phone is easily rebranded to ATT for full ATT functionality BUT you may end up locking it to ATT by doing it... no big deal if you backed up the unlocked version software that is on the phone to begin with. It is as hard to do as flashing the bios on a computer.

Pros: works well, good talk time and holds charge, i usually charge it every 2 days. speakerphone can be used with phone flipped closed and set down while u walk around the room. Keypad is great, well lit and big buttons, some buttons programmable i.e received calls.
Cons: camera res is low, just good enough for a head shot; Silver colored version is prone to hinge breaking- my g/f had 2 of those, i had no such problem with my black unit. Dont drop this phone.

Rating: 3/5Works good, but not perfect.
Pros: Works with my AT&T Go Phone Sim Card. Small, and looks like new. Can charge on my PC with the driver I downloaded from the web thanks to the USB port.
Cons: Unlocked Tmobile phone, so I can't connect to the AT&T built in sites since TMobile is integrated into the menu. I can't download ringers, then again, I don't really care about ringers, thats why I have a Go Phone.
Other Thoughts: While this does work great, on occasion, it can't connect to my network, and I get a text message stating such, which costs me .20¢ of my balance.
