Kyocera Candid KX16 is the new phone I got...does anyone know much about this cell?

Question

I used to own the Audiovox CDM8900 and actually loved it. However, the flip phone hinge broke and I had to get a new one. Can this phone ring and vibrate at the same time? And does anyone have an opinion on this phone compared to say the LG AX5000?

To answer your questions though the phone doesn't have the capability to vibe and ring at the same time.

We typically found alot of flaws with the Audiovox's they are typically made flimsy, they get good reception and sound quality but the construction of em is flawed especially the new 8910's.

Typically LG's are a better made phone than Kyocera's are specifically about the 5000 it's alot newer that the candid and has more capabilities along with better reception and signal clarity.

However alot of the whole process in buying a cell phone goes in with what the customer needs, wants, and is willing to spend. Personnally I try to help my customers by finding the phone that does everything that they want while still trying to get them the best deal. There has been many times that customers have come up looking for the razr but for what they do and will need it for it wasn't very practical (ie. constr. workers)
