Wow...

I was really disappointed in this phone.  For it being a music phone, it had terrible battery life.  Also when downloading applications off of Media Center, it would take 10 minutes to download something it would take my versa 10 seconds to download.  Also the fact that it didn't play videos put a damper on the phone. I was so greatly disappointed with this phone that I returned it for an EnV3 which I returned for the Storm.  Samsung just hasn't been making phones like they used to...

Sleek Design

Great Phone few downfalls

This is a great phone for any music lover. The phone has a unmached speaker system and the screen is extremely sharp. I am very excited to see how this phone does in the touch market. There are alot of great features that put this phone at a great ranking. such as you can listen to music as you navigate through the phones options send and receieve text messages and never stop listing to your music. I LOVE the new colors paino Black smugges just a little to much though other than that this phone is just great a few downfalls though. The touch is heat sensitive so ladies sorry no nails. Plus im wondering on a hot hot day if the touch controls will even work?? someone let me know. Also the controls are extremely sensitive even when you turn the sensitivite all the way down. Another big down fall is there is no video messaging????? why pack this full of unmached media and no video, very confusing. But overall i love this phone and love selling it to new customers who want the slider type phone





Great design, great colors, unmached speaker!!
black gets dirty fast, very sensitive , no video messaging

Verizons trance...

OK so lets start off the top for all u pessimists...  Verizon has not had a VERY GOOD phone ever...  not kinda this one or kinda that one..  EVER... NEVER.  So with that said, lets proceed.


Simple slider design.  not super heavy but feels of good quality.  decent size screen.  not the best quality but do-able.  Main touch screen is better than past models do to the "fixed touch points".  It is not variable (aka- iphone, DARE etc..)  You can only touch the arrows and OK button etc.  So because these are fixed positions, there will not be an issue here, ala Samsung GLYDE aka the worst phone ever created.


Music player is good, however i am not into the music player and I assume people that are really into it have an ipod already.  speaker quality is top of the line.  very nice.  camera is below average.  NO VIDEO recording, sending or incoming.


Battery lasts a good amount of time, not bad, nothing amazing. 


FRAGILE!!  this bad boy has a glass main screen.  insurance is recommended.


Overall software design.  yet to be determined but at first usasge seems solid and user friendly.  however, all phones are until a week into their lifespan.


RECCOMEND this phone to: people who want a basic phone with some added bells, people who like style and something a little different, people willing to give Samsung one last chance...


DONT RECCOMEND this phone to: clumsy phone droppers, camera phone enthusiasts, video phone enthusiats, heavy texters, verizon customers that want the best phone ever





style, quality, speaker quality, menu ease of operation, internal storage space 1gig
fragile glass front, lack of usual features (video etc)
