11. Don't do it.

I have had my phone 3 or 4 months.  I liked it at first but now the battery has worn out to the point of it not lasting even one day.  I have to charge it in the afternoon if I want to use it in the evening. When the phone does run out of battery it turns off and when you try to charge it and turn it back on it goes into the plaid pixelization pattern everyone talks about.  Then I have to wait at least half a day to get it working again. Sometimes more and I am sure it will just completely stop one of these times. Ugh. Do not get this phone.

Pros

Slim(why I bought it), Good camera.

Cons

Battery lasts less then a day. Screen does not function properly. Sluggish texting.

Cons

almost everything.

okay so i just called verizon to get my second replacement phone. i just got my last one a week ago and i even got a new battery but as soon as i turned it on it did the same exact thing where its just all pixelated and has a million lines. i though it was my fault when this happened to my first one cause i dropped it more than a few times but i have barely touched the second one and plus this doesnt just happen to me!. its just a crappy phone i mean it looks cool but man its full of problemsss. the texting is slow. the pictures are pretty good i guess. and sometimes when you slide it up its delayed. i wouldnt recommend getting this phone its my second worst phone. my motorolla phone was worse, never get thosee ever!

Pros

light
sleek
ok pictures

Cons

slow texting
delays when you slide up
screen is messed up

14. Another bit of rubbish from your local Verizon store...

43.3%4.3out of 10

While the phone is generally pleasing aesthetically, the pleasure ends there. The interface is no improvement over my last phone (a motorola razr) and the battery is even worse. The T9 for texting has no means of selecting alternate words, and often misses basics of everyday english. Call quality seems to be at an all time low, with an abundance of dropped calls and a distorted earpiece.

I've not yet run into issues with the screen, but I don't intend to keep this phone much longer, fees be damned.

Pros

slim, sleek, lightweight

Cons

texting, camera, interface, battery life

15. Terrible

I've had the same problem that ghettod83 had twice now.  I'm actually on my THIRD Sway, and I can't stand it.  I bought it because it was thin and looked nice, but after a few months the screen messes up and all you see are lines.  Both times that I've gone to Verizon they had no idea what was wrong and just replaced it with a new Sway.  Battery life is horrid.

Pros

Slim

Cons

Battery life is terrible.
Phone has had to be replaced twice now because of the SAME problem with the screen.

16. Such a horrible phone...

This phone is absolute garbage. This is my first week, of my 5th month having it and I already need a replacement. I've dropped it twice EVER (on thick carpet in my home) and (according to the verizon people) dropping it so many times has ruined the colors in the screen. The screen now goes this weird plaid design and i can't see anything clearly. The sliding part wiggles, I can't make a 3-way call, and when I text, it lags ridiculously, half the time giving me a letter from a different number. There's no zoom for the camera, and when you try to adjust the brightness it doesnt actually help make the picture come out better. Oh, and the battery life is absolute crappp.

Pros

Looks...kinda.

Cons

Slider is fragile.
No 3-way calling.

I have had this phone for over a month now, it is so slow and freezes often. the camera has no zoom and completely sucks. if you are texting more than one person at a time it is next to impossible to do because it will freeze and fu** you over. if i were you i wouldn't get this phone and if you just got it i would take it back before you get stuck with it for 2 years.

Pros

Nothing.

Cons

-Battery sucks
-camera sucks
-so slow
-freezes
-when texting sometimes the whole bottom row will only give you the -number 7 letters ect.
-slider piece wiggles

10%1out of 10

I hated this phone from the moment I got it. It just doesn't work at all. The battery life sucks and texting is horrible. If I wasn't waiting for a new phone, I would just throw it in the garbage right now. I hate it. I recommend the LG enV Touch, which just came out. That's the phone I'm waiting for.

Pros

Small.

Cons

Everything. Samsung fu**ed up on this one.

Wow where to start with phone. It is by far the worst phone i have ever had. It is so incredibly slow and it can probably make the razor look fast. The camera is horrible on it, the pictures come out horribly and they are blurry. The only good ting about the phone is the fact that is little and sleek, but other than that its a piece of crap!!!!!

Pros

sleek
stylish
okay battery life

Cons

texting
camera
soooooooo slow
and everything else

This is a terrible phone.  I have had several Samsungs in the past and this is the worst of them all.  I have had it for 3 months now trying to get used to it... and I still hate it.  The response between the buttons and what appears on the screen is really slow.  Sending a text message is like a chore.  I'm used to sending texts with my eyes closed but with this phone, you have to go through so many menus, it almost feels easier to call the person you want to text.  Also - the screen.  It is horrible.  It malfunctions 50% of the time.  I've found work arounds where I can click on the camera button on the left side and then the screen clears back up.  But otherwise the plaid lines that appear make it impossible to use the phone though the calls go through.  The talk time on the battery sucks too... If I actually used the music function, I bet it would leave me NO talk time at all.  My recommendation would be... unless you get this phone for free.. don't waste even one dollar on it.  It's not worth it.
