Poor 3.7

Terrible Clarity

Responded to Verizon's "You have a free phone coming.  We can mail it or you can pick it out."  Went to store and given two choices--both cheapest in the store.  Selected the Samsung smooth.  Made several calls and received 2 voice mails.  Also set alarm for next morning.  All calls and voice mails were nearly impossible to understand.  Beginnings and endings of words were clipped off.  People on other end complained about static and getting clipped words. Only about every third word was understandable.  Conversation was nearly impossible.  Alarm did not work.  Home charger (included) was awkward design compared to several Motorolas I've had.  After many years of home and cell phones by most manufacturers, Motorola has been the best for design, function, reliability and clarity.    Returned this Samsung the next morning and purchased a battery for the old Motorola.

Pros

• Thin design, nice color, price.

Cons

• Slippery, not easy to flip open, does not display date, time, charge level without opening, lots of static, clips beginning and ending of words making conversation difficult to understand

Poor 3.3

the smOOth has sOme pretty OKAY features such as the picture editOr but the desiqn is UGLY. If you're looking for a cheap phone with the basic features it's for you but I wouldn't keep it for too long with the sporatic pOwer Offs and unexpected "Please say a command" coming out of you're jeans pocket.

Pros

• -editOr On pictures make slideshOws.
• -qOOd battery
• -mObile web ALWAYS wOrks even fOr prepaid plans when yOu have nO mOney On it
• -fast internet
• -reply tO text messaqes and brOwse web at the same time

Cons

• -bluetOOth dOes nOt wOrk
• -vOice cOmmand qOes Off at any time if buttOn is accidentally pressed, even On silent mOde
• -qOes Off Or freezes randOmly

Excellent 9.7

Excellent basic phone

this is the very best basic phone verizon has put out in a long time, has excellent call quality and ringers are loud and clear, battery is exceptional, with light to moderate talkin and moderate to heavy textin, it last around 5 or 6 days, most of verizon's phone batteries last only a day with light use, so this is a nice welcome...there is only a couple of things that could be a little improved but the pro's far out weigh the con's.bottom line...i highly recommend it.

Pros

• awesome battery life
• clear call quality
• loud ringers
• speakerphone is decent
• bluetooth works good
• excellent keypad for textin
• camera is pretty good
• nice internal and external screens

Cons

• reception is a little weak, like with most samsung phones with verizon
• kind of a ugly design, but its not bad
• would rather have the speaker on the front than the back, but its still loud enough to hear
