love this phone! some cons, tho :(

Phone owned for

hello! i just got this phone 2 days ago, and i'm already in love with it. i've dropped it a couple of times, and it still looks brand new. no scratches. the back of the phone has this really cool design on it, and it doesn't get scratched easily at all. the messaging: i love to text! i love how the inbox and outbox look on this phone, and i like the interface when you get a new message. texting is a breeze, also. although i make occasional errors, i can text pretty fast. i just wish the keys were a little spaced out, but that's not a huge problem. i like all the shortcut keys, also. the only problem is that when you press the Shift key, it goes straight to 123 (numbers).... so if you want to actually shift the key, you have to press the key twice. does that make sense? i hope so. and one more thing..... you CANNOT have a signature on this phone. you can only have customizable templates. camera: it takes great pictures! i love them.... but no video. only VGA camera, but i don't know what that means. tools: Camera (very nice!)Record AudioAlarms (wakes me up in the morning)Calendar (awesome calendar!)Recent Calls (you can also press the green button)Notes (i love to take notes... nice job)Calculator (good calculator....gets the job done fast)Tip calculatorConverterTimerStopwatchWorld Time**Battery life: I am a non-stop texter, and this lasts me all day! I woke up at 9 in the morning and started texting and it lasted me until 12 at night with 1 bar left (out of 5). Way to go, Samsung!

I bought this phone first and foremost because it's quad-band. It has ALL the known GSM frequencies, so this is a truly GLOBAL phone. So far it has good signal reception. Speaker is decent. Support for MIDI and MP3 tones. Call quality is good on AT&T where the signal is strong. No 3G but has EDGE. In short this phone is very good for a basic global phone. I plan to use this with a prepaid SIM with AT&T and I will have it unlocked when I visit other countries.

This has got to be the best cell phone I have ever bought in my live time, and in the lifetime of cell phones. I personally believe in this phone, and i seriously believe that you need to get this phone. It is so nice. It is basic, but it does do everything I need it to do.

I realy, REALLY love this phone and i think you should go get one. The price went down on the phone at Radioshack from $100.00 to $80.00. They still have the insurance plan for $20.00. I walked out of the door with my phone all ready up and going for $98.00 after tax and the insurance plan (and my $10.00 off coupon I printed out). so you might walk out of the door paying no more than $109.00. The phone was exactly $86.59 after tax and the insurance after tax was like $22.50. The insurance plan that Radioshack provides covers everything except for lost or stolen. You can literally walk in the store with your phone beaten into pieces, and they will replace it for free. I have already had mine replaced twice because I sat on it and broke the screen and then for the second time I dropped it in water and then sat on it 19 days later. Again, they replaced it for FREE!!! I LOVE IT! GO GET ONE!

Great for my Teen

Phone owned for

Got this as a Go Phone from AT&T for my 13 year old. He loves it. Texts his little heart out. I buy the unlimited texting package for $20 offered from AT&T to pair with it. I almost bought myself one too.
