I purchased a BUZZ yesterday from Public Mobile. I have to say, it’s the worst piece of garbage I have ever bought. The web browsing capabilities are practically useless. Navigation is poor and the menus are very poorly designed. If you’re thinking you are getting a blackberry alternative, think again. I am very disappointed with this phone.. I tried to return it, but apparently I spent 30 mins on the phone with tech support over why Google Maps doesn’t function. And, if you go over 30mins, no returns/refunds/exchanges… So, I’m stuck with the worst phone ever.. I should have dropped the 300$ on the Blackberry Curve, at least it doesn’t look like a 4yr old designed the GUI. And at least browsing websites isn’t impossible, like the BUZZ.
Public Mobile shouldn’t buy China-made and designed garbage. You’ve been warned! (I wish I was…)
