7.8 out of 10

All in all, a good phone. For us, the GPS is worth the price of admission and outweighs many cons. We use it constantly, and find it totally eliminates needing an in-car Garmin, or similar. I need the Bluetooth on to hear the voice commands in my loud diesel truck, but the system has blasted me through the worst San Fransisco and LA has to offer for road navigating.
Four months with 5-day a week usage on two phones (both the wife and I) the alarm clock has failed once.
Music will not play on mono Bluetooth earpiece (needs stereo headphone setup). Proprietory cable and PC sync is really clunky.
Front cover needs display to stay on.
Frequent echo-ey reception, but that's a problem with the service not the phone.
Again, try the GPS, you'll throw your other nav systems away.

Great phone for the money

I hear a lot of people who complain about this phone say "it just doesn't have all the features my (insert much more expensive phone name here) does". It's not supposed to. This phone offers most of the features any 3G phone should at a cost that won't leave you unable to pay next month's bill. The features are plenty and while most of them are decent, none of them are excellent. The mp3 playback for instance isn't going to be as good as your iPod. The camera quality isn't going to compare to your Olympus hi-res digital. If it did do all these things, this phone would cost A LOT more than it does. It does however do all these things at an acceptable level, especially for someone who wants a phone they can afford and for someone who wants the features but doesn't expect it to do everything and walk the dog too. As for the design it's better than many more expensive phones I've owned but still has it's quirks. I've had no problems with button use with the exception of the menu button but then I have that same problem with every Samsung and other phones that has the same navigation button setup. You can nitpick it do death if you want but the bottom line is that it's good for anyone looking for a practical,affordable, and reliable phone with a few extra features.

9.4 out of 10

Pros:
-Super thin
-Light
-Durable (been dropped a few times)
-Easy to open right away
-big screen
-good camera
-can view videos full screen
-videos can be as long as memory allows
-takes mirco sd cards
-Great sized keys
-cool number font effects
-bright colors
-different themes and menus to choose from.
-its loud when it rings
-great 50 dollar price with 2 year contract.
-cool camera color effects
-can set to say things out loud to you.
_________
Cons
-i don't use it for music, so sometimes the touch buttons on the outside beep in my pocket, but there is a lock key, but then you can view the time on the outside screen real quick without holding down lock key.
-when you zoom using the camera it makes a sound like weapons charging that is amazingly loud and the only way to turn it off that ive found is turning the sound off for the whole phone.
-when it vibrates its not as strong as it could be.

__________

All in all great phone that i reccomend!!

ps. phone comes with two weeks of free vcast, but other than that don't buy it, because all the music videos cost alot extra, and theres not much else there.
