This turned out to be an orphan phone. Was good at the time but was overtaken by better models. I struggled using this thing until I got my Galaxy S3 - the best phone bar none!
Pros: Durable, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A- product

It is a really fast phone certainly the fastest phone I have seen. Carrying this phone is like carrying a laptop with me at all times.
The screen is pretty amazing it has the same resolution as some of the phones with bigger screen which makes this phone the highest resolution phone among its peers that are currently on market.
The ticker functions as it says, though I would want developers to utilize this more, specifically I would like gmail app, google voice, and other calender, clock, timer apps to utilize this ticker. I planned to use ticker as a quick way to show my schedule and keep me on track. Currently only the samsung built in programs can use this ticker and some of the programs are inferior than what you can find in android market. I would like to be able to change what program the ticker can support, currently this function is unavailable.
Also at the beginning of using this phone it is easy to accidentally hit on the right side of the ticker and bring up a new page while you are doing something else, say typing for example. Though I am used to stay away from it now.
This size of this phone is almost perfect, unlike bigger screen phones you can actually navigate everything with just phone hand, which in my opinion is more efficient and less laborious than using two hands. And you can switch hands when one get tired, whereas if you use two hands if both get tired at the same time you don't have a third hand to switch to.
This is my first time using an android, I must say that it took me a long time to get use to it, I would stay at least 10 hours spent on messing up with the settings and looking through what programs I should download or buy from android market.
Here are some programs I downloaded or bought:
Google voice (one of the best programs a must to have)
Light the way (turn your LED flash into a flash light)
Pandora
Dropbox
Barcode scanner
Kindle
DataSwitch
SBM for drawing
Fast Reboot (yes even android phone can get slow sometimes and requires restart)
RecForge to record lectures
Pocket Informant beta
Business Calendar beta
File Manager
OpenSearch
Thinking Space
Taber's medical dictionary
Epocrates
ColorNotes
Google map
Uninstaller
Google translate

So much potential wasted!!!!!!!

I have had my Samsung continuum for over 6 months now. Overall its the best phone I have ever had. The performance is unparalleled to any other phone I've had. Its lightweight, superthin and super durable. I drop it on hard surfaces daily, It has gone swimming with me (not recommended) and still worked no problems. I WANT SAMSUNG TO SUPPORT THIS PRODUCT. I own one of THE FASTEST PHONES ON THE MARKET and its CRIPPLED by 2.1 ANDROID OS. I am particularly disappointed that almost all other galaxy s phones are now at android 2.2 and some are even at 2.3 now. I go to the marketplace and most of the new exciting games and apps require android 2.2. My options are limited to retro bad graphics games. This phone has the same hardware specs that the fascinate (runs 2.2) has, and yet no update. My dad has the fascinate and his phone has really become a different phone after he updated from 2.1 to 2.2 OS. Please Samsung support my phone. I believe in you and trust you will make this right.
Sincerely,
Loyal Customer

Got the phone almost a month ago. Been using app management tools but battery needs to be recharged almost daily even without using the phone. Frequently phone freezes and have to reboot which takes a bit of time. Even when on WiFi system am getting data download charges.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: computer freezes frequently, low ram, low battery life
I would recommend this to a friend!
