Nokia 7205 Intrigue User Reviews

Among the various phone which I use so far, This one is great. I like the smooth face plate because it is easy to wipe off/keep clean. I really like the larger numbers that appear while dialing. It's easy to hold and not drop because of the shiny finish. The Nokia 7205 Intrigue's tiny 860mAh battery does a surprisingly great job of powering this cell phone. Like a said earlier, I am still just getting acquainted with all of the features. So far it's a winner.

FIRST OF ALL IM A FAST TEXTING PERSON BUT TEXTING ON THIS PHONE KINDA SLOWS ME DOWN BECUZ OF THE SLICK KEYS!THE DESIGN IS REALLY PRETTY EVERYBODY LOVED IT BUT I DIDNT AFTER SEEING THE FEATURES!THE RINGTONES DONT WORK GOOD!THE CAMERA IS BLURRY 1.3 MEGAPIXEL!THE HABBAIT IS SLOW!!THE PHONE GOES OFF BY IT SELF!AND THE CHARGER STOPS WORKING GOOD AFTER SIX MONTHS!THE BATTERY LIFE STAYS UP FOR 1 DAY IT IS SO NOT GOOD AS MY OLD PHONE THE HUE FROM VERIZON WIRELESS!!BUT IM GETTING A SAMSUNG REALITY AND HOPEFULLY ITS BETTER!!*

I love the look of this phone, unfortunately, that is the only thing going for it.. The battery life is horrible. It drops calls. It erases my call log all by itself. The sound quality stinks.

I have to say that this is the most disappointing phone I have ever owned.  for a little background, i am not in to a lot of bells and whistles.  I like clam shell phones that work well.  besides that, i am just not going to pay for all the extra.  the nokia intrigue's buttons were too small, it collected finger prints like crazy, the battery life was terrible, the phone echoed when you talked, and the texting was quite annoying.  the only saving grace was the habitat mode, which is very cool.  unfortunately, that was not enough for me to keep the phone.  after just under a month of use, i took it back for a full refund and went back to my old LG.  maybe verizon will come out with something that is nice, simple, functional, stylish, and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. 

this phone is stylish and thats about it. it seems all of nokias recent releases have been terrible, perhaps thats why they haven't released in awhile.

i was one of this first to get this phone when it was released. wasn't planning on it when i walked into the store, but i guess i didn't care enough to shop around. it was new and looked nice, i could afford it. pretty UNREALISTIC how it doesn't save any words you use in T9? what kind of a phone doesn't do that nowadays? 'what the duck'
 
i'm faster than the phone, which is ashame because i can't floss on it. texting freezes up sometimes, and maybe there's a feature i'm not realizing but it copies word's i write in texts and paste's them several times. annoying. habitat look's awesome, but

I had this phone for a little more than a week before returning it. I couldn't even make it through a full day without having to charge the battery. The system was sluggish, always lagging if I texted too fast or moved through the menus quickly. As every other review says on here, the phone is very sleek and cool, but that's about it for this phone. If you spend more time looking at your phone than actually using it, this would be a good choice.

I was very excited when i got this phone because i really liked the habitat mode and the pink keypad. Now that I have it I hate it. T9 is horrible it doesn't know like any words and doesn't also can't remember the words you input. the battery life is one of the worst i have ever seen. the commands on the phone are slow and some times mess up. it freezes to many times in a day. 

Love it!  Cute, Sleek, Easy to use!  Love the habitat mode!

I originally had my mind set on the LG Versa until the Intrigue came out. The deal breaker was the NE2 price difference: $40 for the Intrigue vs. $150 for the Versa. The phone is simple to use and is downright elegant. The Habitat mode is a breakaway from the normal Verizon interface. The hidden front screen is also unique, allowing you to read your messages with the flip closed. My only big negative is the weak vibrating mode.

I've had the phone for a couple days, and can say I want to love this phone. I want it to be the phone I use for the next two, three, heck four years. It's so beautiful. I used to be jealous when the Razrs first came out and I didn't have one. Now I am satisfied. Visually, anyways.
Reception-wise, the outlook is dismal. I have not had one good call (of about five). In locations that my four-year old Samsung SCH-670 handled without a problem, the Intrigue has had calls and voicemail cut in and out repeatedly, be tinny, and simply cut off as "call was lost". Another review site, based in San Francisco near where I am, said it was only average - I haven't even found it to be that. Lastly, I also found on one of my calls (like another reviewer I said) that the volume went quiet all on its own. It only did this once, and was probably just another symptom of bad reception. However this obviously is a deal-breaker if I can't get these issues to improve.
As other reviews will tell you, it's got a lot of goodies, like Habitat mode, which keeps contacts on the main menu, allowing you to get to the profiles of people you've been talking to, seeing the history of your interaction with them. It also has a good camera, huge front screen that is minimalistic but perfect for me, and... when you text and type "me" it comes up "me", not "of"! I never found another way to get around that, and it really pissed me off, so that's a big, nagging problem fixed for me. Unfortunately, when you switch from ABC to Word and back, it does automatically put it in Initial Cap mode, which is annoying. Everything else about this phone is fantastic.
This phone is beautiful, the operating system is fast, Habitat mode makes the layout look great (thank you Nokia, take THAT Verizon!), speakerphone, camera, it's all there and it's all great. Except RECEPTION. So try this phone out if you can, but make sure you're able to return it if it doesn't do the most important task you'll ask of it: make clear calls.

I really like this phone! its a really sleek design with many featues for a flip phone. It's the best flip phone Verizon offers currently.

I picked up this phone yesterday.  They told me in the corp. store that I was the first to buy it since it wasn't even on the sales floor yet.  So far, it's been extremely nice.  It is crippled by VZW OS, but it runs quickly.  If it can keep up with my texting, it is running pretty fast.

Don't get me wrong. This phone is brilliant. Just look at the design- it is so flashy and slim. As the picture shows, you see it is a dark black color. I had gotten that same color and it is stunning! Everything is so easy to use, and battery life is surprisingly great. It's probably because of the Nokia quality.. my brother has the N95 US and I've played with it before. Nothing's wrong with any conponment, expect for the keyboard (kind of annoying, but okay).

Me and my hubby just got these yesterday and so far no problems at all. We really like the quality audio if hooked up to a bluetooth or not. like the simplicity of use, very user friendly. We don't text so don't know about that area. Camera is awesome ,also. love the flash really makes for a better picture. so far so good!!!
