Samsung Saga

I was really excited when I first got this phone.  The optical mouse by far exceeds any trackball or optical trackball on any device on the market.  Everyone phone should have one.  However, the hardware/processor problems were unbelievable.  I am about to receive my 4th replacement.  There have been 4 - yes, 4 - complete processor failures where the device just goes into complete meltdown.  The first time, the phone rebooted itself, but never came back up.  The next time, it was replaced because after a couple of months, it became very sluggist and started rebooting itself once or twice a day.  The next 2 times - both within a month of eachother - the device started to reboot itself constantly.  It's like watching a slideshow.  The phone reboots, and within a minute of coming back up, it reboots again, making it totally unusable.  It's a shame that this phone is such a failure because it really has nice features, a great display, and a nice keypad.  I am going to stretch this as long as I can, and wait for the new phones to come out around the holidays.

hey folks, this phone is brilliant. this is about my 6th smartphone/android phone, and i have to say, it's my favorite. super 'navigation' mode, 'mouse' mode button and function. nothing like it. thin, solid. touch, stylus, full keyboard, virtual mouse, small round touch for navigation .fast, most software you need comes preinstalled.wifi, bluetooth, fast cdma data.so many apps to choose from, it's not easy to know which to pick...all phones should have this problem.prostouch screenmousefull keyboardnice displaythin and solid constructionwificons?can't think of anyvery very nice samsung product

I know there are some compaints about this phone first there is no problem if you lock your keys and then turn the screen off, these are two different keys.  The power button up top turns the screen off the d pad / mouse toggle key when held down locks the keys.  The only peoblem is the battery time however it is better than mose pda phones.  I love the mouse to death.  I would not use another phone ever.  An extended battery can be purchased from Samsung.  This phone is a winner, best phone I have ever used, I think the mouse makes it easier to navigate than an iPhone, and keeps your screen cleane.
