Great phone

i ordered this phone bythe web, on mycricket.com, and of course it's a cricket phone, I did a big research before buying this phone, i had to be 100% sure that this was the phone I wanted, and after I got it which was like 2 days a go, I liked it, I have to say that this phone has the greatest QWERTY keyboard that I have ever used, and trust me I have had many phones, including touchscreens, wich I personally don't like anymore because of the sensitive screen, I have had palms and blackberrys, which have a very uncomfortable QWERTY keyboard, and I had one of the latest phones of CRICKET, the Motorola Hint, I really don't like that keyboard, it's really close together and the diamond shape buttons suck, to small. But back to the messager it has great call quality, sometimes the txts  don't send, speakerphone is not loud enough, the qwerty keyboard makes everything easier, the camera is not that good, it's decent for any emergency, but not great. Overall I really would recommend this phone. The only bad thing is that it ain't got no camcorder compared to it's big brother samsung rant, which does have a comcorder but smaller QWERTY keyboard.


 





The BEST QWERTY keyboard.
speakerphone. decent camera. All the buttons have back light, good sound quality.
Doesn't have a camcorder, and cheap camera.

Great Messaging Phone :]

Last weekend I got the green Samsung Messager from Cricket.  I have to say that this phone is a really good phone, especially since most Cricket plans come with unlimited text messaging.  Being the only phone with a QWERTY keyboard on Cricket, besides the discontinued Kyocera Lingo, it offers good messaging features.  Just to warn you, I only use this phone for calling and texting mostly.  I did get internet with my plan and it works pretty good, but like said before, only certain web sites come up and they are mostly text based.  I have no complaints about the call quality at all.  Sometimes there are dropped calls when the reception isn't the greatest, but anyone should expect that with any phone.  Texting becomes really fast with the keyboard.  The buttons are nicely spaced apart and big enough that anyone should be able to get used to texting on this phone.  There are rare times where a text doesn't send and you have to go back to resend it, but it will tell you if it doesn't send.  The screen is a really nice size screen for the phone.  Sure, it isn't touch screen like most things are becoming, but you have a less chance of it getting cracked, damaged, scratched, etc.  The camera is alright for a cell phone camera.  Its not a digital camera, so don't expect great quality pictures.  It's just for taking pictures and sending them to friends and family.  Not for photography.  Battery life is pretty good, after a few charges.  The first few days, it died a little faster than I expected, but then after charging it overnight a few nights, the battery life became really good.  It lasts all day with heavily texting and moderate calling or two days with moderate texting and calling.  I will mostly charge it everynight anyway, however, to have a fresh battery the whole day.  The look of the phone is really nice too.  I don't think its too big or heavily, it feels like a phone.  The keyboard is a great size and that is why I think people think the phone is fat.  It is about the same size as the LG Voyager or LG EnV. 


Buy this if you want a good messaging phone with good call quality.  Don't buy this if you actually need a Blackberry or business phone.  It's called the Samsung Messager for a reason :]

Internet is pretty good.
Every once and a while, a text message will fail to send. Just go to the outbox and resend it :]
