1. Hue

Have 4 Hues, and for the money...this is the way to go. Good reception, good sound, generally good phone. Had an issue with one of them, but did a return through warranty and no issues since that time. The covers that can be purchased make it easy to switch the color of your phone without any tools like some phones, and the good news is that it doesn't void your warranty as changing faceplates on some models do. Camera is one of the quickest I've seen when it comes to snapping pictures. Takes nice pictures for a cell phone. Speakers on the MP3 player are better than any of the other phones that I have except for maybe the LGAX8600. Ringtone volume and earpiece volume are good. Wish the outer display was a little more high-tech.
decent price, decent qualityouter display "old fashioned"

Is okay but the sound needs to be a little louder. Its features are cool, but the signal strength needs work too, overall its a good phone.

Phone works good. However, they completely screwed up the bluetooth capabilities. They force you to use your minutes to transfer files to and from your PC and phone and you can't upload any ring tones from your PC.
They don't make enough from my phone service? I don't need a "middleman" between me and my PC!!!

Well this phone has alot of good features like mp3 capable,and camera.Theres other good features too that I didnt mention! But... its pictures arent that clear when you zoom in! My friend looked like shrek in one of the pics I took of her on the Hue! It very difficult trying to put ringers on it though a micro SD..sometimes its so retarded.But other than that this phone is perfectly fine.They really need to improve this phone.

Design - The interface is mostly ok but some features require more keystrokes than my old LG phone. Its T9 input is a bit on the bizzare end (to do with shifting) but still ok since you could press the shift key yourself or back out of T9 and go back to normal alpha. Symbols input in alpha mode lacks lots of important symbols. No place to hang phone attachments.
Features - It has modern features (MP3, camera, video, bluetooth, etc.), but you can't upload ringtones. You can upload music, but you must do it on a computer through the memory card, which is a real hassle. Its bluetooth is kind of useless except as a way to transfer files (which, as mentioned above, may or may not do anything useful); there is no way to back up your contact list due to this bluetooth incompetency and the fact that you can't save your contact list on the memory card.
Sound quality - sounds ok to me
Signal strength - don't know how to assess this, but with my old phone I don't even get a signal in the subway station's concourse. With this phone I can get calls. So I suppose this means good signal strength.
Value for money - Besides the above, you need to buy some of those felt covers for ear buds yourself (they're not included) because otherwise the earphones fall out of your ear

7. I Hate this phone

I've had the Alltel Hue for 3 months and I hate it. The bluetooth feature sucks. I tried getting music in it and up to this day I haven't been able to even with the Music kit. I think anyone who is planning on buying it you should think twice.

8. Ringtone workaround for Alltel customers

Overall a great phone. The downside is that you can't pull MP3's off the MicroSD card for ringtones. They want you to buy ringtones. However, if you can find a free ringtone ripper off the net, use that to convert your MP3's to a 30 second or less clip, upload the file to axcessmypics.com (accounts are free) and then send to your phone (this is for Alltel customers, dunno if it will work with others). Once you get the message with the song, just save it, go to your sounds, and set as ringtone. Beyond having to workaround the ringtones, it's overall a great phone.

9. A phone for most of us.

I have had the Samsung Hue for about two weeks now, and I can say that it is a good crafted phone. If you want a phone that can take pictures, text, and make calls, then the Hue is a good choice. Its looks are a little on the downside. I’ve had lots of people tell me that it looks like a “Razor knockoff”. I’ve owned Motorola phones, and I have to say that I prefer this Samsung over it.
Overall it is a good phone with great features. Good phone for someone in need of a phone with a few bells and whistles, and not everything under the sun!

10. Samsung SCH-R500

I just purchased this phone due to my other being dead. So far it's been a very good phone. I do love the MP3 music player on the phone (use a SD card) I do have web as an option on my phone plan. They web browser is lot faster than my old phone. Only fault currently with the web browser is, it will lose all history and bookmarks when phone is powered down. (Currently working with Samsung on this) Also like the voice commands on the phone. They only other thing I do not like is that they are such new phone, don't have lots of stuff out yet.
