AT&T Quickfire Review

This is not a tech blog. I'm not a professional at anything except watching It's Me or the Dog but I recently acquired this phone and the reviews I found online were sparse and incomplete so this is for all you peeps who are thinking about or wanting to get the AT&T Quickfire cell phone.

The phone is thick but not unsexy. the QWERTY keyboard is spectacular since my fingers are too clumsy for other touch screen keyboards. However, this phone is really more like a toy than a real person's phone. The battery only lasts about 12 hours and I often find myself charging it twice a day. The camera is fuzzy and pretty low quality but it does take video which is nice. The touch-screen is incredibly responsive and easy to use. The internet browser only really works when you use the keyboard and is still very much a mobile browser. You cannot assign pictures to people in your address book and you can only assign ringtones to certain people if you put them in certain groups (which is really annoying). It boasts a ton of music features but I never use them because they are slow and confusing. The memory sucks. The GPS thingy is ok if you have 30 minutes to wait to get directions. All in all it is merely a cell phone with a touch screen, nothing more. It's not particularly smart or sexy so survey says: if you want a touch screen and already have AT&T, get the Iphone.
