Great first/basic cell

I've had this cell phone for about two years now and while I have my complaints about it, it really is a solid phone if you're looking for something basic and not fancy. It gets the job done. Multi-tasking button.
Good things: Dedicated camera button, decent size, customizable application widget. Decent for texting and Facebook and any site that has a mobile version. Great alarm function.
Bad things: Call quality is typically good...except for when you hear this occasional crackling. My fix was to give it a nice couple thwacks with my finger. Every now and then it'll run slow and you end up opening something you didn't want to. Granted I've had a case on it, but I've dropped the thing a dozen times and it's never shattered. My touch-sensitive part of the touch screen messed up and had to be replaced and it's starting to mess up again. Doesn't have your standard 3.5mm headphone jack.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not great but..

I got this phone because I needed an upgrade and it was cheap, easy to read and I had Samsung phones before. I don’t have data, navigator etc. on it so I have no idea how well that works. I don’t have a problem hearing it or hearing calls. The touch screen is not always co-operative and I get a lot of typos as it doesn’t always display what I touch. (Have to touch above what I want.)
Big issue for me is it doesn’t work with the bluetooth on the computer and it’s been nearly impossible to locate a cable. (Still don’t have one.) While I like the readability I wouldn’t get another. It’s far too problematic for my tastes.
Overall, I was disappointed in this product as it did not live up to the history I've had with other Samsung phones.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good for a very basic user

I only used this phone for a few months before I replaced it. It was an awesome phone when it would work properly. I had a lot of problems with it just staying on. It would turn itself off and give me no warning, then I would miss calls and alerts, which was extremely annoying and inconvenient. I would not recommend this phone if you rely on it for work.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive
Cons: Poor quality, power problems
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not a bad phone.The camera has good effects.A lot of good features.I get a good signal.Touchscreen works well except when texting with the full qwerty keyboard, the keys are too close together.The touchscreen would work better with a stylus.Very durable.I dropped it down steps a few times and it still works great.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: a lot of pics and tones on phone you can't delete
I would recommend this to a friend!

Didn't like how the screen saver couldn't be customized. But overall a good phone.

Most Durable Phone of My Life

I have had this phone for two years now, and I don't have many complaints. I drop at least twice daily, and it still hasn't broken at all. The only poblem is, after a while, it became hard to text or play games because it either doen't register that you're pressing on the screen or it registers in the wrong place. Over all, it's the best phone I've had so far.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: touch screen not the best
I would recommend this to a friend!
