NEC Terrain - User Reviews

  • Its a nice phone

  • this phone is super durable. I've dropped it many times and even thrown it at the floor hard by accident pretending to play tennis with it. Not a problem. I can wash it under water and it is fine... it just needs to dry out for a few hours. If you call someone it will sound like you are underwater. Awesome hardware. Software not so much.

  • This phone is not solar charging.

  • Is anybody els, having the problem that you only have 2G (GSM) but no 3G with this phone? -- Bought an unlocked back in feburary

  • is a nice phone but the life of the battery should be improved. Please how do i activate the solar energy? I need to know please

  • nice one, pls how can l get one and like how much

  • Nice update. if you release in india sales will be very high.

  • FINALLY! I have been waiting for more than a year for a high class android phone with PHYSICAL QWERTY KEYBOARD, Enough Memory. Great phone with good performance. A bigger screen next time.

  • I had asked someone to get it for me from U.S. through amazon. I stay in India, and phone is accepting indian sim cards..... They should be selling one of these in India... With this kind of pricing and ruggedness. It will be a surely hit here......

  • This is the best phone ever. Fast, rouged, great design, ip67, 4g, 5MP camera, great keyboard, and excelent price.

  • Install go keyboard Download Language pack Switch between languages​​: Alt + Space

  • My native language is Finnish. In practice, Swiftkey seems to provide satisfactory results. Most of the stuff works (almost all of the 'ALT + letter' combinations, for instance). I still haven't figured out a way to get scandinavian charecters without predictive input, though.

  • Pros: Looks tough Screen is pretty small, but for qwerty android it's ok. Rugged Responsive GPS Battery performance is Great! Cons: Keypad is little hard and makes me unconfortable to write. For gadget with spec like this, it must be OK to play game. but what game?! App storage only allow you to install app less than 1GB! I only install a few app and full!!! Even i try to use App2SD feature. A few app will crash and not support. No OS update. Last update is jus 4.0.4? hey?! it's kitkat era.... and this device support that!

  • Any one knows how to install input method for nordic language on this phone? I have an unlocked one, tried to get input scandinavian letters with all different keyboard apps (smart, go, Kii, etc) but no one works, except google pinyin, it did write chinese but still no norwegian. Another major downside is the battery, just too small for an IP67 phone, and the muggen battery is too expensive.

  • You can buy this phone unlocked on Amazon for $79.99

  • this is a unlocked phone i guess so check it out

  • Let me know if you find a solution. I've had no luck so far even using an X-SIM hardware unlocker. Going to US soon and will see if AT&T can unlock it.

  • Bought one on Ebay locked to AT&T to use in Canada. Unlocking is a huge hassle. DO NOT BUY if you want to avoid trouble. X-SIM from unlockitnow.com not working, appears to THINK it's unlocked and can see Rogers, Bell, Telus, and Eastlink networks. Will not connect to ANY of them with a working SIM. Only with Telus SIM will phone prompt me with X-SIM menu. No other way found to get into X-SIM menu. Going to USA soon, will try to unlock through AT&T but not looking good.

  • I've owned one since it was released in the summer of 2013. The phone has been great with battery life, durability, as well as performance. The only downside is that not all apps run with the screen size/physical keyboard. However it is a small % of apps.

  • Is this phone worth owning? I Am buying it! SO many questions!

  • i am happy that NEC Terrain product from NEC Company is more advance in town for publication and to create awareness . Pls distribute it to NIGERIA with different advert on facebook, Dstv stations, Gotv and other internet communities. We need this kind of phone machine in Nigeria to improve our communication standard.

  • Any luck unlocking it ...im also in Canada n I was thinking bout ordering one as well

  • can it be sim unlocked?

  • If this mobile work in indian network.

  • hope this comes to INDIA TOO....

  • I hope this phone comes to Indonesia. It's rare Android with QWERTY candy bar and the highest version with ICS/JB currently is only Samsung Galaxy Chat B5530.

  • There were a couple of sellers on ebay last week selling the Terrain. They had plenty of stock (8 available) but were all sold by the end of the listing. I bought it from one of them and it's being shipped up to Canada now. I'm definitely taking a bit of risk here because so far there is no site that says they can sim unlock it, so I'll have to wait and see.

  • Guys this phone is for AT&T, so it is for the US only. I wish this was available globally, because if it was I was going to throw my wallet for it. :D

  • Gsm version 8mp camera and bigger battery please

  • We're should I get this phone..... is this available in UAE....

  • i hope that it will be available globally

  • OMG! this is my dream phone. rugged android+QWERTY keypad. can someone tell me how to get this phone? I'm from malaysia

  • I want a salt proof phone n_n

  • Ruggedness should be a mandatory feature in all future phones. This phone looks like it means business. I personally like the salt proof feature it will protect my phone in beaches.

  • Welcome back nec in mobie technology but remember it's 2013 give some impressive product
