As if the price wasn't bad enough. When you take into account the bad build quality of the MP01, lack of 2G coverage, not forgetting all the bugs its riddled with, it's easy to see why many people are regretting there purchase of the Punkt MP01. The review scores on websites like Amazon.com, with the rating score at 2.5 stars out of 5, really confirms this.
You would think to build a phone that's "dumb", as in it doesn't have a full blown Operating System, that the makers would be able to really focus all their energy and ideas on features, reliability, and making damn sure that the phone is worth the money. But it isn't. Most features don't work and longevity of the phone is disappointing. It's crazy to think the Punkt MP01 costs more than most Smartphones! You really are better off with an older model Nokia 3210 or 3310.
Is The Punkt MP02 Any Better?
Well, the quick answer is no. It's just as bad, if not worse than the MP01. It's extremely expensive in both the USA and the UK and has seriously bad reviews. Complaint after complaint. Riddled with problems. Poor reception, Bluetooth doesn't pair / work properly and software very buggy. And if that wasn't all bad enough, to top it all off, for a phone with no full blow Operating System, not running any energy draining Apps, and having a black and white display that uses minimal power, the MP02 has an unbelievably bad battery life.
For a phone that costs so much money to buy I would have thought Punkt would have made a much better product. These phones are filled with problems, and are certainly not worth the price or the annoyance that comes with them. A very poor attempt at trying to make an up-to-date "dumb" phone. Buy an older phone, it's much cheaper and more reliable. With the Punkt models, they look great, but looks are very deceiving!
