so - so

I have the Kyocera kx414 on a USCellular contract. I noticed that it does not get as good a signal as some of the Nokia phones USCelllar used to use. I live in a rural area in S.E. Idaho and use my phone in the mountains alot. I have used USCellular for about 6 years or more. The service has gotten alot better than when they where analog, but I have freinds that have the Nokia phones and they don't have to hike as far as me to get a good signal when camping or hunting. I applied a signal booster and that did the trick.

The vibrate/ring mode takes too long to ring. It would be cool if the vibrate was cut to 5 seconds instead of ten before the ring starts.

The microphone on mine picks up a lot of background noise wich is a pain when your around any machinary.

Other than that the phone works great and it is has enuf features to make up for my complaints. Just make sure to use a signal booster of some sort, it helps alot.


I'd like to see women flocking to my Kyocera, can you make that an option?

Thanks for the response Teb,

As for the ringers. The Melodies are a bit soft, I know, I miss calls on Midis, But the standard rings are quiet loud.

Ring and vibrate may be a possibility on new projects.

For the texting, the LG phone I am testing requires a number first also, so I think that is a user preference.

Different phones different user interface. It takes awhile, but you'll get used to it.

i have a kyocera slider, and have these wishes..........

1. i think the ringtones need to be louder
2. i want it to vibrate and ring at the same time
3. with text messages, i dont like having to type the number in before i type the message. i prefer to do this after.
4. also in relation to typing, i want the space key to be zero........its hard to get used to the 9 key

Give me ideas of what you would like to see in a phone and what sucks about these phones. Make them legitimate for example:

Sounds too loud with car noise
Better functioning camera
Better display

Let me know.
