samsung katalyst

This phone works pretty good. The camera is awesome. it looks like a real digital camera. And it has a memory card slot but every time you want it, you have to take out the battery which is a pain. But the battery life is amazing! I am pretty impressed with this little phone. its got pretty much whatever you need for a very cheap price. Even though T-mobile reception isnt great, this phone gets pretty good reception, so if you want a phone thats not huge, i would suggest getting the katalyst, even for your kids, this phone is hecka durable.

This phone is kick @$$. It has great reception, good battery life, a camera, a video camera, cool games, your txt messages get sent in like a second, and just when you think it cant get any better, its only 40 bucks including activation fee and tax.Did i mention it looks fly too????????. If u want a gr8 phone for a small price, go to ur walmart and get the katalyst!

I'm highly satisfied with this phone. The signal strength is surprisingly good, at least in comparison with my old Nokia 5300 Xpress Music. If you're looking to upgrade and want something that works well as a CELL PHONE (not a mobile computer or fashion statement) then this phone is perfect, honestly. It's got everything I need, it works very well, AND it looks good!
