This would be a great phone if it had more internal storage and memory. there is no option to uninstall prepackage apps and by the time you download a few more the storage is at capacity which causes the phone to freeze, CONSTANTLY.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Not high def, Did not meet expectations, internal storage and ram
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good for a beginner...

I enjoyed the Intercept's slideout keyboard and bluetooth capabilities. What was not so hot in my opinion? The EVDO rev. 0 radio and lack of Flash support in the Android 2.2 update. The onboard memory chokes when you close on 20MB of remaining phone memory as well, so you do have to budget your apps on here as well... that's even with APP2SD. I would say that the slender profile would appeal to folks looking to carry a smaller phone with a keyboard, which is very convenient when performing texts/emails. For a person new to the smartphone game, it is a decent device overall.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Lightweight, slideout qwerty keyboard
Cons: Did not meet expectations, no camera flash, 2.2 update does not support adobe flash
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

When I bought this phone, I was looking for something that could do it all, play music, go on the internet, and email. After dropping it multiple times, it still works. The signal is strong, I really like the slider keypad. It is a little slow. I would recommend Samsung to anyone and I would get another product from Samsung. In order to protect the screen, I bought a screen protector and this phone can withstand anything.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Inexpensive, Durable
I would recommend this to a friend!

Samsung Intercept (Virgin Mobile)

This phone is good. I like the design; sliding QWERTY keyboard. Only has 500 MB processor (I believe) which is one of the downsides to it because it can be very slow at times. Camera is okay; picture and video quality is fair since it only has a 3.2 Megapixel camera. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this phone because there's way more out there to choose from, most of them still from Samsung.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, qwerty keyboard
Cons: Poor quality, Not high def, slow processor
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

THIS HAS BEEN AN EXTREMELY DURABLE PHONE!!!!
I HAVE PUT THIS POOR THING THROUGH SOME SEVERE PUNISHMENTS!!!!! (UNINTENTIONAL ABUSES)
IT HAS REALLY OUTLASTED MY EXPECTATIONS!!!!
I HAVE PUT THIS POOR THING THROUGH SOME SEVERE PUNISHMENTS!!!!! (UNINTENTIONAL ABUSES)
IT HAS REALLY OUTLASTED MY EXPECTATIONS!!!!
So, while I DO LIKE this phone alot, there are certain SOME THINGS (ISSUES) that were OBVIOUSLY NEGLECTED, which should have been NO-BRAINERS!!!
1: THE TOUCH SCREEN SHOULD HAVE A SENSITIVITY SETTING!!!! REALLLY.
2: THERE IS NOT ADEQUATE INTERNAL MEMORY!!! After downloading like 4-5 apps there is no more storage. While most apps will NOT MOVE once installed, that leaves a bit of a dilemna!!!
3: There are TO MANY stupid APPS PRE-INSTALLED that I will never use. WHY WASTE THE SPACE?
4: THE MENUS ARE ALL WRONG!!...By this, I mean that the PHONE MENUS and SETTINGS MENUS NEED TO BE MORE USER FFRIENDLY!!!!

Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, good solid phone
Cons: touch screen is not adjustable., too many pre installed apps which are useless!, menus are not user friendly, not enough internal storage (memory)
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This phone is nice for it's convenience and perfect for those who aren't into technology as much as most people would be. it's perfect for those who want a phone and like to text but don't care much about other entertainment, because the processor is to slow to handle certain games.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: slow processor, not much ram
I would recommend this to a friend!
