Polaroid ProA54

User opinions

I'm using this model for 1 year now. Good Phone for rough use, cause the frame is made of metal. It survived several impacts already, with just a few minor scratches. Be sure to have a protective foil on the display, because neither the display nor the keyboard can be exchanged.(soldered onto the pcb directly).I'm using it with a 4 GB microSDHC card and works fine as mp3 player (folder has to be named "My Music") whereas videos will lag even after properly converting. I used Any Video Converter with following settings:userdefined .mp4/ videocodec mpeg4/size 320X240/bitrate 192/25 frames/audiocodec aac/128 bit/AV-sync basic - you can't probably make it worse than that and it still does not run fluently. Same thing with internet use. Surfing the web with GPRS-speed and a WAP-browser is no fun. Positive is the use of dual SIM, which works just fine even with different ringtones to each card and the possibility to switch off either one. Also is this one of the loudest handys I ever had. Putting the ringtone to max will make your teeth hurt. The manual provided is very poor and will condemn you to try everything out yourself. So if you are looking for a phone for simple everyday use with few extra wishes, this is the one.
