Samsung Evergreen
on August 4, 2012
Posted by: carlplaysbass
from Philadelphia, PA
I've had this phone for quite some time now and it really took the beating that I gave it. It's been dropped numerous times and still works pretty well...sometimes it freezes and then shuts down, but not very often. Overall, a pretty decent phone.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: unreliable
I would recommend this to a friend!

Worth the price and tips about downloading...
on September 5, 2012
Posted by: Justhere2help

Very durable, I can tell you how many times I dropped this in water and came back after a couple days to let it dry and it works just fine. Very much worth the purchase and the apps, some them like the maps already come free without purchase (that might change after this comment is published O.O). Point is this phone has served me well.
only 2 serious cons. for music,
1. if you want to put a picture for the songs, it gets glitchy and
2.sometimes it will even delete a song or two from itself.
it just gets a bad attitude and one day a song will either be "Unsupported file type" or just plain gone. however, this is directly tied to how often you plug it in to your computer. also

DO NOT LET YOUR COMPUTER FIX PROBLEMS ON PHONE. that is where all of these issues started at for me and I noticed that the more I would not plug in, the better it would function. Of course I'm the kind of person who will just yank the cord instead of "ejecting" like a good user would. If you follow the rules, as I learned first hand, this phone won't easily fail you.
Now tips, if you want to download music, you DO NOT need to download a 10.2 mb song and use up your entire phone memory on ten songs. If you download itunes, just click and drag your file onto the itunes music page to link it to itunes, then click edit, then preferences at the bottom. on the general tab, go down to "import settings" - it should be a little button. click it and there should be a drop down called settings, click it and pick custom. you can make the changes you want, but for me, the best quality (because i connect my phone to car via bluetooth) is stereo bit rate: 64 and channels: mono. Unless having the 3dimensional feel you'll hear in songs like Riot by Tedashii (just youtube to see what I mean), then mono shouldn't be too important to you.
also for videos, if you want to download a video onto your phone, you HAVE TO HAVE IT IN (.mp4) NOT (.m4v). If you get that down, you gotta get the frame width to 320, height to 240, video bitrate to 13 kbps, and frame rate to 14 per second. there are websites that can do that. after that you can watch any video you want on your phone. Hope it helps!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

Shuts off or restarts itself daily
on September 17, 2012

Expertise:Intermediate
I'm on my 2nd evergreen. I thought there was just a problem with my 1st shutting off by itself, so att sent me another one. Well the 2nd does the same thing. It will also randomly restart. I've also had the phone completely lock up where I had to take the battery out to restart it. The only thing I like about this phone is that it actually has numbers on a keypad that you can push, and it has a seperate qwerty keyboard for the occasional text. These features are what sold me on the phone, but it's not worth it. Don't buy this phone.
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, turns off by itself, restarts by itself, phone can lock up
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This phone is OK
on October 6, 2012
Posted by: azurecrimsonrose
from Earth
Expertise:Intermediate
I have had this phone since June of 2012 and it is alright. I just wanted a cell phone for making and receiving calls, sending and receiving the occasional text and picture message and that had real buttons, instead of the touch screen phones that are out now. This phone works alright for that. The audio quality is okay, could be better. The audio adjusts itself when the phone rings, which I do not like very much. The screen is nice and bright and has the features that I want in a phone instead of extra programs that I would not use. The majority of my calls have stayed connected the whole time. The phone is pretty durable, considering that it has dropped a few times. All in all, a nice phone that could use some improvement. :-)
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight, has physical buttons
Cons: low ringer volume
I would recommend this to a friend!

QWERTY Keys Small, Screen broke after less than 1 year
on December 1, 2012
Posted by: MuddyPaws25
from Maryland
Expertise:Intermediate
This phone was inexpensive, and features a QWERTY keyboard, the keys are very small and it takes some getting used to, after a little while it becomes difficult to slide out, and after about 8 months my screen turned white and I can't use it anymore. I love that it's eco-friendly but it also needs to be functional... Decent cheap phone, the battery life is somewhat short but if you just want a cheap phone, its ok.
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, short battery life, keyboard small, screen broke

Enjoying my Evergreen

from Wichita, KS
Expertise:Intermediate
Overall I really like my Evergreen. It's easy to use. The only problem I have is it shuts itself off every now and then. Sometimes it will restart its self but there have been times I have gone for hours and with it off.
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: shuts off without warning sometimes
I would recommend this to a friend!
