Sanyo Zio is a basic smartphone
This was my first smartphone as well as first touchscreen. It's features include: virtual QWERTY keyboard, trackball and 3.5" touchscreen, MP3 player, 3.2MP auto-focus camera/camcorder, Android Market, 3G, GPS Navigation, web browsing capable, Email capable, bluetooth(R) Wireless, Memory card slot, Voice activated dialing, and connects to broadband router. I love how light and small this phone is compared to other smartphones which tend to be big, bulky and heavy. Also, it has the android operating system which is nice. It's not the fanciest smartphone and definitely not the quickest. It does have a little bit of a lag to it. The negative to this phone is definitely the battery life. The battery does not even last a day if you have the phone's syncing turned on and the widgets tend to suck the battery life. I have had to turn off the syncing and delete my facebook widget to save the battery. I have not even tried listening to music for fear of it not lasting long at all. The camera is not the best and since the phone has a lag the camera lags as well. The navigation feature has been helpful in many circumstances and works great. As an average run of the market smartphone, this is very basic and slow. Not for those who use their phone constantly for web browsing or someone who is looking for a fast phone. I also had a lot of trouble with the memory. Apparently there's a glitch with this phone and the memory and I kept getting memory full messages and would have to delete apps to make room for texts to come through. Eventually I had deleted all my texts, most of my apps and was still getting the error even though there wasn't anything left on my phone really. I would not recommend this phone. There are other basic smartphones on the market that work better than this. Battery Life Poor for such a basic phone that I didn't use much for web browsing.
