Why did they bother?

To me there is nothing intuitive about this phone. It takes multiple separate steps & panel views to use: stroke to activate, choose action type, choose person, choose modality of communication - then fight with the onboard dictionary that CORRECTS words, names and when it pushes you over the edge: censors your curse words!!!!! When you finish an action and go dormant it does not default back to the mainpage or at least the last menu for next time -- you have to backup through all the above steps to start something new. The reflective quality of the screen makes it impossible to read in any amount of sunlight. I admit that I may have a local antenna problem in my area because I fought with the last carrier, but the reception is lousy at my home and without moving, my volume transmission drops off dramatically to the complaints of those on the other end, and then mysterious (again without moving) restores. AND THAT IS NOT THE WORST OF IT. Within 6 months of purchase I was having battery problems. Read the phone @ 100% when removing from charger - unfasten the connection and have it drop to 87%; wear it for 2 hours without using, drop to 68%. Forget to charge one night and it would turn itself off, display charging battery image on black screen, and TAKE TWO (2) DAYS to reach full charge again. I HATE THIS PHONE!
Pros: Durable
Cons: Too big, Did not meet expectations, unreliable charging system, poor reflective screen, contra-intuitive access design, irratic response to touch
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great phone, my wife and I both have this phone, she is not phone savy and has no issues in using it. The phone works well and there are plenty of applications available for any user. Screen size is perfect for me, I have large hands and have no issues using the touch pad. Battery life is adequate, depends greatly on your usage.
Great all around phone for any user.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

The Camera!!

I travel ALOT and LOVE how beautiful my pictures come out. I don't use the photo for my profession so it is just for my enjoyment and they reprint beautifully!! I can enlarge them (I haven't done any bigger than 8X10) but the quality was still there!!
This is easy to carry and stick in my back pack or small bag that I am carrying and not a large target for theft. There is so much about this phone I love!! The hands free, the talk and text.
I keep my phone in top shape with a phone protector and a screen protector. I do not go home without one!! I have dropped my phone 3 times where the case came off but no damage to the phone!!
If or when I wanted to trade in or sell to upgrade, taking the case off and the screen protector off, it will look almost brand new!!
I LOVE SAMSUNG PRODUCTS!!!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, great pictures, front and back camera
I would recommend this to a friend!
