Top Notch Phone

I am amazed by this phone! I have read many reviews for this and the Thunderbolt, and this phone is a winner for many reasons. The screen is unbelievable, the phone is fast and lightweight, software is intuitive, and the battery power is much better. I also got the accessories (the docking station and the navigation mount) which add to this phones value. There are different screens when I plug it into each accessory - very cool! The camera takes great pictures. There are lots of features that can be set and also tutorials on the phone to help learn how to use it.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

Seriously underpowered

Have been using this phone for a little over 2 weeks and have been finding some serious performance issues after using it a while. Phone only has 328 MB of RAM which is not good for a high end smartphone. I have been running up to the limits on memory using just a few widgets like Executive Assistant, Easy Profiles, and PowerAmp. I am having to go in and kill apps all of the time to avoid screen freezes. The 4G LTE , and great screen, and better than normal battery life are about the only good things about this phone. Part of the memory issues are probably due to the boat load of junk apps that come preinstalled. Stock email program is buggy. K-9 freeware is better.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, good battery life, verizon 4g lte
Cons: Did not meet expectations, 328 mb of ram, junk apps forever, frequent freezes in user interface
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

i need to carry spare batteries on me because the battery dies within a few hours. I can't charge it and use gps at the same time (ironic) without it overheating. it should've been a great phone but its been a major disappointment. Now i think i'll be forced to buy out my contract or pay full price when the new iphone comes out. i love android and i loved my droid1 but i can't live with such an unreliable phone... if you choose this phone, remember that the trade in period is 14 days - and wait to buy any accessories until you know you're going to stick with it. i stupidly bought the car dock and the desk dock and now i'm just annoyed with myself.
Pros: switching batteries is not too difficult
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, bad battery life, overpriced, gps issues, reboots too often
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Samsung Android Charge poor battery usage
on August 3, 2011

Expertise:Beginner
I purchased my phone within the last two weeks and so far I have had to charge the phone every single day. I only get abiout 1 hour of use time out of the battery power and find this very frustating. I have shut down all of the apps and put the phone to sleep after each use. I am able to get;/make 4 or 5 phone calls and a couple of messages and then bang, no battery power. This phone just abuses the barttery power and should be [provided with a higher power battery so that owners and use theur phone as it was intended to be used.
Cons: Did not meet expectations

This display with out a doubt is the best cell phone display I have ever see. The phone is light and comfortable. That being said. The battery life is terrible. Its buggy. Phone hangs up on people. Its slow to switch apps. I hate the side button locks it. Its a pain when your trying to use it and have to unlock it. I especially hate the text esp. When writing an email address its correcting names. I don't like how it predicts the wrong word and inserts it constantly. Have had several BB's and droidx, that did not give me fits the way samsung has. Where is the upgraded firmware already. Why is the most expensive verizon phone there is still running old android software? Apps are slow. Games are slow. Internet is slow. Compared to other 4G devices. I am not impressed and wish I bought the Thunderbolt.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, slow processor
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
