got the phone a few months ago, it has a few glitches but it is a really good phone. Sometimes my screen don't work, sometimes when i have the keyboard up and click on messages it takes me to the IM page instead which i do sometimes get charged for it, but other than that i like the phone. Plus it needs to have a headphone plug, i hate the fact that i have to spend extra to get the headphone adapter.

To Ali And The Others Who Say The Quickfire Is Great.

I…like you guys were all hyped up about getting the quickfire and having it, the first 2 weeks it was great! no problems what so ever…. then that all went to crap my screen started to get unresponsive and it wouldnt charge right either, i take great care of my phones and take pride in that. i called customer service and complained they said send it in for a new quickfire….me thinking i just had a bad phone i said ok and low and behold i got my new quickfire the same thing happened but in less amount of time yet again the screen was unresponsive and this time it started to delete my unread txts and dropping my calls. furious i called customer service and upon further pushing the lady told me that theyve had over 20 people complain about there quickfire hence why the recall soon after that. People have there opinions and this is mine….dont get it its a waste of money and me being 19 and in collage i need a reliable phone. DO NOT BUY THE QUICKFIRE! its a health hazard all in its own.

Not sure how long it lasts. But charge it every night and you should be fine. And…. Do. Not. Turn. It. Off. It takes at least 5 minutes to start working at its usual speed.

*And another thing! Many of you keep saying the the screen is responsive. When it does work… you know… ish…, it selects the wrong thing. For example:

-taps “Reply”-
Quickfire: Delete Message? Yes No

It takes approx. 5 minutes to work.

I got the quickfire in december. For the first 2 days, it worked great! I was in love with the thing. But since then,
*The touchscreen has become unresponsive. I can't even send texts anymore! ((Huge turnoff, since I normally send between 50 and 100 texts a day.))
*It turns off randomly, and the battery cover comes off a lot… just falls right off!
*If I'm texting someone, and recieve a message, I ignore it, like any other person. It beeps. A lot. Until I read the new message. If I'm, say, looking at pictures and ignore a new text, it closes me out of everything that I'm doing. So then I have to check the message, whether I ever wanted to or not.
*I found a crack today…. I never drop my phone!…. So apparently, there are two layers of screen. Top, the part you touch, and bottom, the part you dont. The crack? bottom layer. Top layer's fine. What the Quickfire?
*I'm sure you all know about when AT&T sent around letters about chargers and… new chargers! They were insulting us, you know. Like we couldn't figure out that if it doesn't fit, you turn it around…
*Speaking of chargers…… The old charger heated up really bad. AT&T sent out the letter saying, “Oh, this one works! It won't ever heat up again!” … Ha ha ha ha ha….. Guess what? …. It did.
*My key and lock doesn't work anymore. Just sits there. I tap the lock, then the key… Again, and again, and again… I get impatient and just slide it open.
*So with all these problems, why haven't I called them, or gone into the store? Well, there's an excellent explanation for that… I did. I was informed that we (being “proud” Quickfire users) had until December 2009 (yet to come) to call in or go by the store to get a new phone. Any new phone. For free or a reduced price. I called. Informed them of my problems. Guess what they said? “I don't know what you're talking about.” So I went into the store. Got the same response. Aren't they helpful?

And these aren't even all of the problems… I can't even remember them all! So I'm pretty sick of AT&T right now.

I hate my Quickfire. I've had to have them ship me a new one twice now. The touch screen doesn't work usually and the signal is horrible. Sometimes when I try to call people it connects but they can't hear anything I'm saying. DO NOT get this phone.

I got my quickfire for Christmas and had problems from day one. It froze. My aim froze. My touch screen stopped working you can't charge it while talking on the phone. BAttery sucks. I got rid of mine when one day I got so pissed off on it that I smashed it. Yeah so I perfer you don't get it. I'm getting the samsung eternity in 7 days and can't wait. Btw why would you get a phone from a company you have never heard of?

a good phone is the palm..i dropped it soo many times. the touch screen is pressure sensitive. but to be honest my mom called att today about the quickfire which the dont even sell anymore and they gave her the biggest problem. she said it would be easier to pay the 200$ termination fee and go somewhere else then to pay to get a new phone. the quickfire is terrible and i went through 2 of them already and att still gives us problems. they say they will replace it with the propel, matrix, or vu.. all in which are way less expensive then what my mother paid for mine. spread the word.. att is going downhill. and the quickfire is not worth all the money and time.

Since so many people are saying this phone is bad, what at&t phone would you consider buying?

By: xDaltonx

xDaltonx — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 15:14:10 +0000

the quickfire sucks.
Touchscreen is horribe.
Slower than dirt.
Sounds quality sucks.
Sliders on it suck.
Battery life is also horribe.
if you txt alot its be dead within an hour and a half.
just plain out the biggest waste of money.
ive had it for about four months and it barely runs.
when i get a new one this is getting smashed and thrown away.

I got mine for Christmas and i loved this phone. It was freezing up from the start but it was so minor that i could live with it. It became worst over time and then it would not hold a charge and was extremly hot most of the time. I called AT&T to replace the battery because i thought tis was the problem and they started to send me a replace battery. A week later and no battery but i did get a phone call asking me to pick out another phone because they are no longer going to stock this phone because of so many issues with it.

I own the Pantech duo, good phone generally, but i am completely tired of it.
In order to text and talk, you must push home, and navigate without pushing end, or else you hang up on the person. It locks up, when doing little things. And it's broken stuck closed, stuck open, stuck both ways. (which its not supposed to do) But in the end it is partially my fault because im bad with phone, and it had been thrown

I am buying one of these, because at first glance(on the web) it looked beautiful. Orange and silver? Wonderous. Though I wanted to be sure the texting keyboard and the touch screen was up to par before I went about spending all of that money.
I was going to get a Pantech Duo, though I heard bad things about the qwerty keyboard. I would like to thank you for your review on the phone, it was very helpful and I intend on buying one ASAP.

My first-impressions of this Sidekick-styled handset. Formerly known as the UTStarcom Knick, the QuickFire is a quadband GSM, triband UMTS slider with a 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen display; slide that up, and there’s a full QWERTY keyboard.

There's a Quickfire fans site http://www.AllQuickFire.com Share your opinions there.

a couple quick questions.. i'm thinking about getting a quickfire. i have a shine now and i hate it. i've seen a couple of comments that said people can't transfer pictures or files with their bluetooth.. but, what about ringtones? also, another thing that i hate about the shine.. i can't set any of my ringtones for text messages. i have to choose from ten, obnoxious message tones that are already on my phone. can i set my own ringtones as message alerts on the quickfire?

The Quickfire sounds awsome. In May 2009 i will have enough money saved up to get it! I am a fast txter and with this i will be able to txt in 5 seconds! I love the lime green one but there should be more colors. I am not complaining cause ive been saving for a while but in May I'm gonna be cruising with my Quickfire

I'm getting this phone tomorow, even though i was sopoused to get it on december 5 for my bday. I'm in love with it, and my cousins have it and most of my friends do too. Don't listen to the crap people are saying about this, because I know its not true. I mean, I dont have the phone but I use my cousin's all the time and it works pefectly. The only thing I would say is a little bad is that sometimes the battery will say needs to charge when its in the middle, and when at times the screen freezes, but then it comes back to life. It's really how you treat your phone, because if drop it all the time either in solid, water, mudd, rocks, then your clumsyness will obviously damage it. You really need to take care of it like if it was your baby, don't let any one touch it!

I've had my Quickfire for about 3 weeks, and my only complaint is about the battery life…but if you charge it every night, there's no problem…definitely get a car charger. The phone is very easy to use and sending texts and e-mails is a pleasure. I also like the Voice Recognition feature, and my Bluetooth works very well with the phone.

This is the best phone ever! Coming from an LG Shine this is very nice. Its QWERTY keyboard is well spaced out and very easy to use. It's touch screen is a nice addition. Every so often it lags a bit or hits the wrong one but no where near as bad as other people have commented on it. But, overall its a 9.5/10!!! I'm so glad I didn't listen to many of the comments others have made about the phone.

the very first models of a phone, are basically prototypes, and to expect it to work perfectly is ridiculous. Even the Iphone had this problem when it came out several years ago. Nonetheless, trying the quick-fire is a risk I'm willing to take. Based on my review research, I've found good enough opinions to try it.

Note: I'm going from an Iphone to a Quick-fire.
