I warned my daughter about all of these issues and encouraged her to read the reviews herself and perhaps choose another model phone.

I did a considerable amount of research on the ***AT&T Quickfire* 3G *Handset* **before I agreed to purchase it for my off-spring and what I found was not altogether encouraging! The handset has a high failure rate, and it reading a wide swath of reviews I found that the handset habitually dropped calls, locked up, has problems charging (oftentimes taking hours), very short battery standby times, and the touch screen was frequently non-responsive to, well, touch. With A-GPS, the ***Quickfire*** also comes with *AT&T Navigator*, as well as AT&T's own traffic and turn-by-turn direction service. In addition, the unit ships with stereo Bluetooth, mobile e-mail, instant-messenger support, and A-GPS.

The ***AT&T Quickfire* 3G *Handset*** ships with a plethora of useful features including a 1.3 megapixel camera, micro-SD media card slot, 500-entry address book, a full HTML Polaris browser, and MP3 player. In addition, the sliding handset ships with a full QWERTY keyboard idea for texting, e-mailing, surfing the Internet, or performing Instant message functions. The ***AT&T Quickfire* 3G *Handset* **(made by UTStarcom and distributed by PCD) serves up a capacitive touch screen, similar to the one used on the *Apple iPhone* and the *T-Mobile G1*. Once again, I have seen better.įalse The ATT Quickfire.Fire Hazard I am not joking!! My husband has had his phone for about two years now and he hasn't complained about it until this month. I have not encountered this problem with phones that have the Qwerty keypad on the touch screen. My fingers started to hurt a bit after texting too much. The phone is on the thick side too because of the full Qwerty keypad. I would like to think mine are average sized but the way how this phone makes it so hard to navigate when using the touch screen, I cannot help but think that the problem is me and not the phone because who in their right mind would make a phone with a bad touch screen like this phone. I do wonder if the touch screen was not made for people with skinny fingers. There were a few times when I accidentally picked the wrong person to call. It is even hard to try and choose the correct person that you want to call. It is hard to scroll down the address book. Sounds good right? Yes, but too bad for this phone, the touch screen is terrible. This phone looks good on display but it is not good for anything else. Sadly, we did not think to really test out the phone while there too. We just went and looked at phones and picked it out when we were there. My husband and I did not do a lot of research on cellphones before we bought this phone.
