1. Second Phone

Got this phone for free when it came to Cingular(By this time, Cingular was getting ready to switch the name to At&t.) Very nice phone to get. The 2.0 megapixels takes very good pictures. I have some on myspace if you wanna check it out. heheh. The memory for it wasn't too big nor small, but it still wasn't good. It's ok though because it comes with a Mirco slot in it. The biggest i ever had was the 1GB, dunno if you can do the 2GB. Speaker quailty is fair. The touch media keys in the front are sometimes sensitive and sometimes it can be a pain. Don't know why Samsung did this, but you have to hold the volume rocker button in order to lower or higher it, and you have to hold it for like, 5 millions years. just kidding, like 3 seconds but still is a bit redundant to do that. The Internet is amazing. it's pretty fast. atleast in my neck of the woods. it's 3G capable. The clairty of the talker isn't the best. it has a dedicated camera button so you don't have to go through all the menus to access it, as well as the mp3 player. The textbox can hold roughly about 237. (thats the farthest i got) it has the multi-tasking button on the keypad. I was able to play my mediaplayer, browse the net, and text all at once with this device. You can have certain dates that are important and set alarms for them. You can change Font size and color to monochrome or multi coloured. Customization The OS is a bit intermediate, it's not hard but it isn't easy either. So if your looking to upgrade from shitty camera phones, with terrible internet access and simple OS, i say it's safe to start here.

3. Not recommended.

At first site the Samsung SYNC looks amazing with the big screen and all but in reality this phone is so inconvenient. First of all the signal is horrible, it truly is terrible. I have had so many dropped calls, and no signal in some areas, and the funny thing is I live in NY which lets me have 3G speed. Second, to see the time you have to open the phone because trying to view the time on the front screen is impossible when outside. The music player is just average, there is absolutely no extra features, it only comes with about 5 ringtones, the camera isn't all that good meaning that when you move even a tiny bit while trying to take the picture it will come out blurry. Overall the phone is not recommended unless you can live with all these problems.
Pros are its design and its big screen.Almost about everything else.

I have this phone for about a year now....and when i first got it, it wasn't in the shape it is now...i loved this phone when i first got it because all my other phones broke and my mom went out and bought it for me i was suprised when i recieved this phone because i was cool and phone to use. Now the volume bottom missing and the charger door broke inhalf and now there are 2 holes in my phone and the earpiece blowout and it would freeze alot and it would piss me off. But now i have a LG CU720 phone, it's a cool phone.

7. About This Phone..

I've had this phone for about 8 months and I love it. The only bad thing is that the signal isn't very good. Going into certain places I have absolutely no signal but other than that I think it's a very good phone. The mp3 player is awesome. It's the main reason I got the phone. Also, the keys aren't very big so it takes a little while if you are texting someone. And it's bad that you have to buy a headset or a headphone adapter if you don't want to disturb anyone while listening to your music. But all in all I think this is a very good phone. I only have those three negatives but you have signal in most places so it's still a very good phone. It takes very good pictures too.

8. Good feature set, if you don't mind buying a lot of extras..

My biggest qualm with this phone so far is the lack of a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. For an MP3 phone called the "Sync", it's ridiculous that you need to buy either Bluetooth headphones or a headphone adaptor just to listen to music. Second, the comments about reduced signal strength are accurate, but I suspect the fewer "bars" are just a result of being farther from a 3G transmitter, calls still go through OK. The same proprietary headphone jack also functions as the jack for power, necessitating yet another purchase of an extra travel and car charger. Total all this up with the mandatory-for-music microSD card, and you can count on spending at least $30-$40 on top of the phone, even for cheapo extras on eBay. Positives: loud, generally good sound quality for calls and MP3, good camera, great internal screen. Overall, a decent value with some annoyances.

This is one sweet phone- 3G is awesomely fast- the big internal screen is bright and very very clear and colorful- easy to use- minimal learning curve- for me anyway, the signal is fantastic- and voice quality is excellent-
