I hate this phone so much. I've had it for awhile and now it won't let me connect to internet . The signal when ur making a call always fades, the texting is ok but sometimes u don't get ur texts for awhile. The battery is the worst thing on it I can have it off the charger for and hour and I already have to plug it up again jus because it has went completley dead. I do not advise anyone in this world to get this phone if u do you'll be in for a big disapointment I promise.

The Upstage is a great concept phone. Full of nice features for that all-in-one feel. The phone comes complete with an extended battery that is slyly hidden inside the nice pleather case that is included with the phone. As far as looks and concept go this phone is a great looker and will keep people flipping it over and like those "how to keep a stupid person busy" keychains.

However when it comes down to the most important part of the phone, the actual performance, there are many flaws that I will detail for you. I have owned this phone for almost a year now and it is the biggest mistake I have ever made. First and foremost if you get into one of those weird oh i missed this persons call so i'm gonna call them back and you put the phone up to your ear and it starts vibrating in your hand cause they just called you at the same time as well... (i hope you understand what i'm trying to say) the phone will lock up, and you'll be unable to turn it off, answer the call, ignore the call or do anything until the call has gone to voicemail.

The flip side of the phone with the touch buttons is absolutely the most horrible thing i have ever had to deal with on a cell phone. The touchpad is far far too sensitive and the "back" button is just below the --> button so you try to navigate to the right and oh you're back a menu, same for the left except that one is the end key. You can only read texts once on the front, but after you've ended it you have to flip the damn thing over and go through the menu to get to it again.

Overall this phone is terrible. I could go on all day about it. It is definitely a stylish phone and will again, keep people occupied for a while, but you'll be more annoyed with the stupid thing than its worth.

Don't buy this FON! I've had trouble charging from day 1. I had to BUY a replacement after 6 months for $50 because I tried charging and it blew the phone. I have trouble with the display (it fritzes out, like it's shorting out). The signal is terrible--worse than my previous phone that was over 5 years old! If I lose a charge, the phone possesses itself, and makes noises for hours until it charges itself enough to recognize the fact that it is actually hooked up to a charger.

I have troubles with it inside in certain areas. Not sure if it's the phone it's self or the coverage inside of my home. It does get very hot while talking on it for more than 10 minutes. It's great if you like/love to text or check your mail. Not so sure about using it to talk. Very small, which may cause the "troubled hearing" on both ends. I think it's good for people who don't talk on the phone so much.

I only bought the phone for the music aspect but everything about the phone is cool. My only issue is the switching from front to back whenever I want to send text. Still it's better than a lot of other phones on the market. Just pop in a 4 GB Micro SC card and you are good to go. Be careful not to drop your phone....like most phones it will crack so use the protective carrying case. Overall a good buy and I'm still luffin it way better than my last phone!

I was intrigued by the thought of having my music, phone, camera, etc. all together with the slim look of the phone I thought I was getting a great product for me, I was wrong!!!! The phone freezes up all the time, the touch pad, stopped working and I had to trade it in twice, now my internet stopped working. When the touch pad quit I lost all my pics that were sored in the phone, all my texts, and everything else you need to access from the music side!!!! It definately wasn't worth even the dicount(rebate) price I paid for it!!!!! Also, unless you buy an additional micro chip, it only holds about 12- 15 songs, bummer!!!

When I first bought this phone I was super excited about the flip feature of this phone. Although the flip feature is intriguing, it is not practical or user friendly. The phone is way to small that you must use the battery case to keep from misplacing or dropping the phone. With the battery case on, the leather flap hits you in the chin, and you look like you have a Zack Morris phone from afar. The battery life is so short that with out the case it is drained with one long phone call or hour of texting. The touch screen is frustrating, and constantly messes up preventing you from getting you where you need without multiple attempts. I live in the Ozarks and I hardly get reception. If I do get reception I am roaming or my calls are dropped constantly. I could go on for ever speaking on the flaws of this phone without saying one good thing.

This phone looks great, but there are one to many problems. First thing that went wrong was the face plate with my numbers came off twice. They fixed it right in the store and told me they had seen that happen to a couple people. I text a lot and the keys are not durable. 4 of my keys are cracked and 6 of my keys have rubbed off. In this day and age, they should not issue phones without checking out the durability of the keys. And last but not least, the sleeves for this phone are not great. Becuase the phone has the large face on the back, the sleeves distort the pic or if you get a sleeve with the open face the back gets scratched quick. Overall I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who texts or who uses it non stop like myself. The phone just isn't durable. And unfortunately I want the Blackberry, but they cost too friggin much!
