1. Great phone
25 Jul 2009 by Rickerz
83.3%8.3out of 10
i ordered this phone bythe web, on mycricket.com, and of course it's a cricket phone, I did a big research before buying this phone, i had to be 100% sure that this was the phone I wanted, and after I got it which was like 2 days a go, I liked it, I have to say that this phone has the greatest QWERTY keyboard that I have ever used, and trust me I have had many phones, including touchscreens, wich I personally don't like anymore because of the sensitive screen, I have had palms and blackberrys, which have a very uncomfortable QWERTY keyboard, and I had one of the latest phones of CRICKET, the Motorola Hint, I really don't like that keyboard, it's really close together and the diamond shape buttons suck, to small. But back to the messager it has great call quality, sometimes the txts don't send, speakerphone is not loud enough, the qwerty keyboard makes everything easier, the camera is not that good, it's decent for any emergency, but not great. Overall I really would recommend this phone. The only bad thing is that it ain't got no camcorder compared to it's big brother samsung rant, which does have a comcorder but smaller QWERTY keyboard.
The BEST QWERTY keyboard.
speakerphone. decent camera. All the buttons have back light, good sound quality.Doesn't have a camcorder, and cheap camera.

3. Great Messaging Phone :]

Last weekend I got the green Samsung Messager from Cricket. I have to say that this phone is a really good phone, especially since most Cricket plans come with unlimited text messaging. Being the only phone with a QWERTY keyboard on Cricket, besides the discontinued Kyocera Lingo, it offers good messaging features. Just to warn you, I only use this phone for calling and texting mostly. I did get internet with my plan and it works pretty good, but like said before, only certain web sites come up and they are mostly text based. I have no complaints about the call quality at all. Sometimes there are dropped calls when the reception isn't the greatest, but anyone should expect that with any phone. Texting becomes really fast with the keyboard. The buttons are nicely spaced apart and big enough that anyone should be able to get used to texting on this phone. There are rare times where a text doesn't send and you have to go back to resend it, but it will tell you if it doesn't send. The screen is a really nice size screen for the phone. Sure, it isn't touch screen like most things are becoming, but you have a less chance of it getting cracked, damaged, scratched, etc. The camera is alright for a cell phone camera. Its not a digital camera, so don't expect great quality pictures. It's just for taking pictures and sending them to friends and family. Not for photography. Battery life is pretty good, after a few charges. The first few days, it died a little faster than I expected, but then after charging it overnight a few nights, the battery life became really good. It lasts all day with heavily texting and moderate calling or two days with moderate texting and calling. I will mostly charge it everynight anyway, however, to have a fresh battery the whole day. The look of the phone is really nice too. I don't think its too big or heavily, it feels like a phone. The keyboard is a great size and that is why I think people think the phone is fat. It is about the same size as the LG Voyager or LG EnV.
Buy this if you want a good messaging phone with good call quality. Don't buy this if you actually need a Blackberry or business phone. It's called the Samsung Messager for a reason :]

Internet is pretty good.Every once and a while, a text message will fail to send. Just go to the outbox and resend it :]

5. Good phone from Metro
26 Dec 2008 by Pat

Like a few said it is the best phone for MetroPCS. After investing in $ 250 for the phone invest another $ 50 to buy a case, screen protector, micro sd chip and an adapter for the headphone input so you can put any headphones in there, not just the expensive Samsung ones. After this you have a good phone. Great call quality and text features. The transistion between the regular phone and the QWERTY keypad is easy to do and its quite sturdy. The back is pretty flimsy as mentioned but a case (hard rubber recommended) will help with this. You will need a micro sd card (which does not come with the phone from MetroPCS) if you want to use the music player and store any real large applications. Applications are decent on the Messager. I still haven't got the AIM application to work but I haven't had the phone long and will contact customer service soon about that. Internet is fast if your in a good recpetion area bu don;t expect to display and use any complicated websites. Stick strickly to text based sites and many sites are even making mobile versions now so just search for your sites moblie counterpart. As of right now I have not been able to locate a broswer application, so all web pages are accessed from the basica google search feature which first pops up with the Metro interent. The speaker is loud and call quality both recieving and sending is top notch. The QWERTY keypad really is the jewel to this phone which helps in alot of tasks which would be impossible on a regular non keypad cell phone. Camera is decent but don't expect to be using this as your main camera. Buy a Kodak! The screen is large and very bright.. it's actually way to bright on the brightest option so i had to turn it down. Great features and tools. Many basica apps are avaiable for download from MEtro for $ 3 - $ 7 .. for movies, games, ringtones, apps. I still really haven't even begun to discover this phone or the Metro network but so far i am very pleased and looking good with my MEssager. :D I gave it an 8 for Desig, Features, an Performance
Great for texting ans basic web browsing, Great call reception and quality, bright vibrant screen, solid basic and great for the entry to mid level cell userApplications work but do not get this phone for them and AIM has yet to work for me

6. decent basic phone

for metropcs, this is probably the best phone available. the qwerty keyboard is nice and easy to use (even with fat fingers).
pretty durable so far, but the back feels like it could break easily, pretty thin plastic here.
if you talk about the phone, you have to talk about the service, which is very spotty... text messages might arrive late, their instant messaging program freezes up for hours, the phone shuts off about once a week (forced updates??). sadly, samsung or metropcs decided to install brew on this phone, which means that you can't install your own programs - only buy cheesy pics and tones from metropcs.
good basic phone,
qwerty keyboard makes messaging easy, fastfat, heavy, no java so no free games, small screen, low res camera.

well the phone is big and persoanlly i think its ugly not only that but it is a samsung so no downloading freebies or anything for that matter, its a good phone if you just need a phone for the normal things like text and call and yeah go on the internet just no downloading. all in all though it is one of the better metro pcs phones despite it's flaws but then again metro pcs doesnt have cool phones like other companies so the standard of good isnt very high.
i can be a pretty cool phone if you just need it to text and stuffsits a bit...big and not only that its a samsung so you cant download any ringtones or anything maybe if it were a motorola although those batteries dont last long
