I have owned the Samsung Renown since March 2009 it's my 1st Samsung product my previous cell phone worked well for 4 years however my colleagues all had the latest devices & it was time for me to upgrade to a device with a lot of capabilities equivalent to other high end devices; & doesn't require a data feature; I like it very much & highly reccomend it as a user friendly phone& fashionable as well& can also travel outside of USA with this device

I have owned this phone for 4 days and so far it is the best phone I have owned. I bought it for travel and at this time have not been out of the country with it, but using it in my home area has been a pleasure. The phone is solid and has a good feel in your hand. The reception is clear as a land line, the screen is bright and clear, and the keys feel good when sending text messages.
