Bad Reception!

5 Jun 2009 Jennifer Meneses Cayabyab

8.3 out of 10

Yeah, I definitely agree with Robert's post (Jan. 27, 2009). I'm a phone junkie, especially for Samsung phones. This past January, I got married in the Philippines; a couple days after our wedding, my husband and I went out to find my Samsung i900. Since it was WAY too much for us, I settled for the F480. I was so happy with it (I hadn't tried the internet function yet) that I had my hands glued to it every waking moment.

When I came back home to California, I was disappointed to find that I had LITTLE TO NO RECEPTION in my own house! Needless to say I was pretty pissed off when I realized I just dropped $500 for a phone I couldn't use in my own home! When I'm at home, all i can really do is text, and that's only after walking around trying to get reception. If I get calls, I have to apologize and use my house phone to call back. Outside my house, the phone works fine. Like Robert, I also did research on improving reception, but the solutions I did find would most likely be fruitless since they all involve a pretty good amount of $ and won't work if you live next to hills, which I do >=(!

Despite the above crap, I do love the way it takes pictures, the small size, the music player, some of the applications, the widget function... I pretty much use everything except for Internet (can anyone tell me how to get it running???!!) and the fact that I can't change my text message tone--I miss my FF tone...

Seriously, though. If anyone can tell me how to get my internet running, I'd really appreciate it!

well. i have this phone as well living in the states. the only downfall about this is finding someone that knows how to fix it or find out why i don't have a signal.the phone is awesome in the pics as well. i love the fact that its 5meg. nice clear pics. love that you could download all types of music to listen as you walk and still able to answer the phone. great phone, now lets see if i can get it fixed..

Pros

5 mega pixel
great colors
touchscreen

Cons

finding a repair facility
