Cool little phone

Reviewer: colione112 on Thu Nov 17, 2005

This phone is really cool... for a young kid, and that works, because that's who it's geared to. This is truly a basic phone. The sim is hard to get to, which is good because it's not meant to be taken out often.

It's fairly easy for a parent to program numbers for their children to dial. The dedicated 911 key is a very good idea, but it's in a bad location. How many times are the kids going to hit the side of the phone and accidently dial 911? It could have at least been a sunken in key which would have been harder to hit accidently.

The phone doesn't do any features, which i guess is the goal intended here, so that's a plus.

All in all, I give the phone a 9 out of 10. Very good concept.

Firefly Phone Not Durable for kids. Horrible Sound Quality!

Reviewer: marin80 on Mon Jan 08, 2007

We purchased a Firefly for my 8 year old son for Christmas. He has had the thing two weeks. My son is an extremely responsible, gifted kid who takes really good care of everything he has. Last weekend he was walking on our hard wood floor. He had the FF in his FRONT pocket. He slipped and fell on his HIND quarters, barely bumping the phone on the ground, through his jeans. The LCD screen broke inside and there are ink blots all over the entire screen. It will not turn on at all, much less make any calls or function to what it should.

We have the factory warranty, and also bought the extended warranty from the dealer. Unfortunately those will not help us since we are honest people and will not claim that it was not our fault that the device was broken. My problem here is, if the Firely Moblie company is manufacturing and marketing this phones directed at 8-12 year olds, shouldn't they have made it a little more durable? The thing is light as a feather, the plastic is cheap and is scratched far beyond what it should be after being stored in a pocket for two weeks. It broke under the slightest pressure, and the sound quality is terrible!

We are making him replace the device with his own money, as he understands that even though it wasn't on purpose, he still broke the phone. But his father and I will be instructing him to go with a different phone and a different provider. As the FF phone was an extreme waste of money.

Buyer Beware. icon_nuke.gif
