Samsung UpStage M620 Review

The UpStage is a fashionable device that features a dual-sided candy bar design. One side is used as a phone, while the other side is for music, videos, and all other menu options. The phone is remarkably thin and light, which makes it easy to take wherever you go. The plastic construction feels durable and it should hold up to normal use. The Main Display is larger than anything you’d see on an iPod Nano, with images and text that is easily viewable in a wide variety of lighting conditions. Unfortunately, the 2nd Display

1. Smallest Phone I've ever held!!!

9 Jul 2008 by Matthew Lake

80%8out of 10

Small, narrow, light weight...

This phone was obviously designed with size being its selling point and focus. Sure the dual screens are cool, the tones are nice and the personalized touches you can program for yourself are great. However, its the phone's dimunitive size that attracted me.

Cell phone holsters are really unfashionable and if you wear fitted clothing most phones are too bulky or heavy. Not this baby!!

Go out on the town, drop the UpStage in any pocket and you'll forget its there (this can be disasterous if you are prone to losing your phones!). Still, I love that it never cramps my style.

Actually, it turns heads.

The only negative was that I was working outside one winter and it stopped working because of the cold. This could be a glitch they've worked out. Still, get the insurance. If anything happens and it stops working you can just go into a Sprint store and they'll give you a brand new one. Takes about 5 minutes. The insurance is just 7 bucks a month. (Though I'd recommend this with any phone for persons leading an active lifestyle.)

Awsome phone! Hope they don't discontinue it!

I purchased this 2 phones of this model 7 months ago - one for me and one for my son. I have had to have mine replaced twice. My son's has had to been replaced once.

The Good: It is very slim and stylish and the MP3 function is a nice addition so long as you have time to let the software load the data on your memory card.

The Bad: You shouldn't mess with a lot of songs on the memory card because of the loading time. Likewise, the flip feature becomes a nuisance after a while and the software for the smaller front screen could really use an upgrade to allow you to pull past texts from that side.

The Ugly: The slim design makes the battery basically useless and you absolutely have to have the battery pack (which is equally prone to damage, considered disposable thus uninsurable and is ridiculously expensive and hard to find when trying to replace). The slim design also makes this phone incredibly fragile. I finally met one honest cell phone salesman/customer service agent at a local shop who told me the Upstage, without question, is the most problematic phone his company carries and that most technicians won't even open them to try to repair them because of their intricate and fragile design.

Bottom line, the cool factor is not worth the hassle.

3. Hunk Of Junk

This is the worst phone that Sprint has. Without the extra battery pack the battery life if horrible. You may get 6 months out of this phone before the battery decides to stop charging. PLEASE get insurance, you will need to get it replaced a couple of times before your contract runs out. The external memory card slot is a plus, but don't buy it you will regret it.

Great Phone and when I went to buy it I had no idea it came with a battery wallet which in my mind made it even better, protection for your phone and extra life....My word man this phone has it all, Internet, Music, Texting, I would be lost without it...I originally wanted a smart phone but this is...One Smart Sleek Classy phone....Good work Samsung and BTW Flipping is not annoying or bothersome....It's unique.

5. upstage...not so great...

i was so excited to get this phone last week, as of now its on its way back to sprint. it read the reviews about this phone and i really should have listened. After charging i talked on it for less than five minutes and it started getting hot. Its only stays charged for a short period of time so you have to keep it the wallet ALL THE TIME. WHATS THE POINT!!!!! why get a small phone just to have to keep it in a bulky leather flimsy wallet. Its better just to get a seperate mp3 player and phone.... also the signal strength sucked it was always on 1 or no bars... the internal antenna is at the bottom of the phone so you have to hold it a certain way... to much effort.... the touch pad will make you want to break out pen and paper and just write letters to people you want to talk to .... so aggravating.... im getting a rumor in its place.....

6. Way better than COOL!!!

This phone really speaks for itself. The updated technology is beyond unique and a better than any other phone out in the market. It never freezes and never really dies, the extended battery pack is the work of a true artist. No other company but samsung could come out with such a elegant but exciting model.

7. good phone

96%9.6out of 10

this is the best phone i have ever owned... even tho flipping can be a hastle, everything works smoothly... i txt a lot and the small screen is not an issue at all, small screen easily fits 3 lines of text and if needed the flip button can be pressed to review the entire text ( and the same goes for reading texts). on the mp3 player side, the moving around is a little glitchy( but what phone doesn't have a glitch here or there?). the headphone plug they give with the phone works for any type of headphone using a normal jack, and the quality is just as good as any other mp3 player...the phone is also the thinnest phone i have ever owned. if i was buying the phone today, id still buy it, even after owning it for a while.

9. so so

just listing things to watch out for:
1. Key lock switch is bad design imo. To answer the phone, first you have to find it, switch it, then press talk. With my old candybar phone, you just press talk when phone rings, even when keys are locked. (with just pressing and holding "clear" key.
2. Low Battery sound alert plays a jingle constantly when power becomes low. It really intervenes into conversation disabling the speaker and mike.
3. When phone rings only display lights up and no buttons making it harder to press the right key to answer.
