this is a great phone except the fact that the internal antenna is located at the very base of the phone which impeeds signal due to the fact most people hold the base of the phone covering the antenna. if you look at the phone the antenna placement is in the bottom of the phone directly under the keypad and it is very small compared to other tracfones. i previously had a motorola c139 which is a very cheap phone but had a 9 out of 10 for signal because the internal antenna is located at the very top of the phone and is much larger than the samsung. i rate the samsung a 5 of 10 on signal. i am currently working on an enhancement for this antenna and will be back to inform everyone on my results.

Pros

great phone

Cons

poor antenna design

I purchased the tracfone slider in june 2009 and the keypad stopped working in august. The phone acted like it was locked but wasn't. I could receive calls but could not call out. Anyhow, I called tracfone and was given alot of BS on how they could send me a new phone but not the same phone, quote( we will see what is in our wharehouse and send what we can) then I am to send back the slider to them. Now I purchased the phone online from them and told the the order # and how the phone was only 2 months old, could I please have a phone that had a camera and double minutes since I did pay $49 for the slider. Anyhow I was sent a $14 phone no camera as a replacement. I called back after getting the crap phone and spoke to someone else explained my situation and now I am waiting for a replacement of my slider phone that is an actual new slider phone. I will return my old phone and the cheap crap that they sent me back to them. Just want people to know the run around i got..

Great phone.  It doesn't come with a comprehensive manual but is pretty easy to figure out.  I've had a few Tracfone phones and this one is the Best by far.  I no longer feel that I have to sacrifice ALL of the good features to save money.   What few features of this phone are not Tracfone compatible like surfing the web, I don't miss with this phone.  I got it on sale at a local store for $20 off and it came with double minutes for life.  Great deal!!  The only negative I've noticed so far is that you can't do much with pictures because it's a Tracfone phone.  I still think it's a great phone. 

Pros

Easy to use, feels well made, more features than any other tracfone I've had

Cons

Tracfone limits what you can do with pictures taken with camera phone.
