BLÜ telephones review.

I have owned several BLÜ telephones over the past several years and intend to provide my experience with them.  I purchased two different iterations of the phones and have used them for 2-3 years (various models).  Here is my review and opinion of these phones.  

Pros: 

  • Price
  • Well designed
  • More durable than an Iphone
  • Not too much bloat ware (but a little).
  • Cameras are generally good for this price point. 

Cons

  • Range.  They don't seem to have as good of reception as other phones.  
  • Budget processor can be slow at times.  
  • Bluetooth - these phones don't like to work with Bluetooth accessories (including your car).  
  • Prone to be buggy.  
Conclusion: I really wanted to support this American company based out of Miami; however, their phones are not up to the standards that other phone manufacturers yet.  They make too many "fashion" phones to understand what you really want and the Bluetooth issues with these phones make them a no-go for anyone with hands free in a car.  Bluetooth.  

Message for BLÜ: I'd be glad to change this review someday when your phones improve.  High hopes for your company.
