Review: Kyocera Verve for Sprint
The Kyocera Verve is a basic phone that fulfills a basic need. It makes calls and sends messages. If all you need from your phone is to gab with your friends on occasion and fire off some simple texts, the Verve mostly delivers. The phone offers great phone call quality, albeit at less-than-thunderous volumes. Battery life is insanely good, and the Verve always remained connected to Sprint's 3G network.
The screen is of average size and quality for a simple device. The materials are average, too, but the build quality is rather good. The buttons function well, with the exception of the navigation cluster. The QWERTY keyboard offers plenty of space for composing messages and negates the need to learn T9. It's disappointing the Verve doesn't include some slightly more appealing messaging features outside of SMS/MMS, such as IM or social networking.
For those who don't ask much from their phone, the Verve covers the basics.
