Nokia 3588i impressions?

Hello,

I recently added a new line of service on my account and opted for the
Nokia 3588i because I did not need any Vision bells and whistles on the
secondary line. What is the overall opinion of this phone? Does it
hold a signal well? Is it reliable as far as sms text messaging goes?
I know it is a free phone, and someone once told me that I get what I
pay for (meaning a freebie is of much lower quality)... does that apply
here?

Thanks,
Eric

Don't use SIMMS but the phone is as good as any Sanyo in getting and
keeping a signal and it sounds much better you do not have to search for
the sweet spot

It's good for getting a signal, has a bright screen, is cheap (often
free), but these days most folks prefer flip-phones where the screen and
keyboard are protected when closed.

Well,
from what I hear, and this is only 2nd hand so keep that in mind.
The 3588i isn't a really good phone, there have been problems with the
lock code on phones sent to customers, they don't do well on sms, and I
understand a lot of them have had to be returned under warranty.
again this is all 2nd hand, so ... but I haven't (that I remember)
heard anything good.
sorry
