Product Review Kx9 Cell Phone
This is a very simple cell phone compared to the newer ones with MP3 and all those extra gadgets, but that doesn’t mean that it is a bad cell phone.
The KX9 is a flip phone. It has a full-color screen on the inside and a black and white pixilated mask on the outside. The screen on the outside is only there to show time, date, battery life and who is calling.
I got my KX9 from my cell phone company. It costs $130 by itself and $0.99 with a 2 year agreement. There was one other phone that I could get for the same price with the same agreement, but it was a candy bar phone that costs $80 and the flip phone was the better deal of the 2.
The Kyrocera KX9 has many old-fashioned school features. It has dozens of ring tones, veil savers, wall papers, and avatars. Ring tones include: “Hallelujah”, Joy To The World”, the national anthem, and other idiotic ringtones. The hide saver I utilize is fish swimming around, and the wal paper is 2 people dancing. The National Anthem is my default ring tone, but it’s rarely used.
Ringtones can be assigned to individual poeple. I assign ring tones according to what reminds me most of a person. For ex. my fiancee’s religious grandma gets “hallelujah”, his friend gets a slotmachine, and my mother gets the most annoting ringtone in the phone! Avatars include cartoon pictures of monkeys, sailboats, etc. These are assigned to people unprejudiced like ring tones are.
There are a few games on this cell phone. There is Brick Attack and Parachute, they are the only trusty games. One other “game” on here is where you can draw stupid doodles and is called, you guessed it, Doodle.
There is also a calculator, stopwatch, and other various tools.
This phone has a wireless capability that is something like Bluetooth, but Bluetooth came out right after I bought this cell. You can use this capacityto download novel ring tones, wall papers, hide savers, etc. However, using the wireless capacity is very expensive. I looked into it once and was shocked to find out that it would cost me $4.95 for each and every download!
This phone is very tough. When I was still working, I tool it to work with me all the time. For most phones, this would be a big mistake. I dropped the phone about 20 times on the concrete floor, got it wet with lighter fluid, and got tons of charcoal dust all over it. As you can probably guess, I was working in a charcoal plant.
Overall, the KX9 is a great cell phone, with no extra gadgets to confuse me or get messed up.
