As always, Samsung has graced us with another quality product. The camera is great, videos and still shots, I use a camera for my job, and as well as it takes pictures, the phone is all I take now. Lots of memory and Office suite too. Who could ask for more?
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: not compatable with car stereo **music playback**
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love the Phone! I love all the apps on it, I like the pictures it takes and the fact that it has a flash. I like the way that the menus are easily to use. The only thing that I do not like about the phone is the fact that I can not use my zune music as a ringtone on the phone. As soon as that changes I will give the phone 5 stars!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: no ringtones!

Great except battery charging time and back panel design
on October 9, 2011
Posted by: NY2011
With the new updates (i.e., Windows 7.5), the phone is awesome. Bing maps with GPS, nearby events, calendar, vision/music/voice search, etc. are super-duper cool! I also like the icon size, color scheme, sound quality, infinite back key, functions in the camera, XBOX, Office among other things. All of that in a relatively cheap phone, who wouldn't recommend such a phone? A front facing camera would've helped.
However, the worst thing about the phone is the time it takes to charge the darn thing! It takes 4-5 hours!!! Although I love the update features, I hated the fact that it took more than an hour for the phone to get updated. Zune did not even care to point out that it was going to take so long. Also, Zune is a very bulky piece of software. The back panel has a relatively cheap look to it. I dropped the phone and the phone's intestines popped out on me.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

I WANT to love this phone.

Great phone with one exception. Twice have I had the speaker on the face of the handset fail. The only way to make calls was using speakerphone. I returned the phone and it was replaced under warranty but now I am left wondering what I will do when my warranty expires. If it fails again my only option may be a new phone. Will I choose another SAMSUNG? I don't know yet. But I'm sure to choose a Windows phone if it comes to that.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight, great windows os
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations
