An Excellent Phone

I absolutely love my Samsung Evergreen! I've had it for several months, so I've had time to fully enjoy its features (and drawbacks.)
I mainly use mine for texting and talking, though I also play games on it occasionally.
I tend to be a butterfingers, and have dropped it numerous times (often onto hard, concrete flooring.) Despite my clumsiness, it still works as well as the day I got it and only has a few hardly-noticeable scratches to show for it.
The battery seems to last forever! I can go several days without needing to charge it.
The games that came preloaded on the phone are fun and easy to learn. More than one included the full game, rather than just a teaser demo.
Texting with the QWERTY keypad is SO much nicer than using the number pad, as I had to do with my previous phones. When I first got it, I had some difficulty hitting the space bar, though, until I realized that I needed to push it on the left or right of it instead of the middle due to the fact that the underlying button-push-part (sorry, I don't know the technical term) was only located on the sides.
The charger that came with mine was capable of plugging into a USB port, which makes downloading and uploading pictures a breeze! I imagine it would be just as simple to do with music as well, though I haven't taken advantage of that feature.
Call quality and clarity are great, and I only have trouble with it when I'm in a low signal area.
It comes preloaded with IM programs through AIM, Windows Live, and Yahoo!
I don't have a data plan, so the "conveniently" placed central button that directly links to the internet has caused me some annoyance, as I haven't found any settings to disable it or change its function.
The phone will sometimes unlock itself while in my pocket (I imagine the other items in my pockets sometimes push the two-button combination to achieve this) and this has led to some accidental pictures taken of just how dark the inside of my pockets can be, as well as some unintentional data charges added to my phone bill. (Again, that "convenient" data button is prominently placed.)
My own phone has a habit of randomly rebooting its software or even shutting itself off, which is extremely annoying, especially while I'm trying to text, and the messaging feature seems to be the last thing that loads. (Right after the phone starts, I get an "Initializing" message which persists for about a minute before I can access my conversations, messaging history, and whatever message I was trying to send that didn't go through because of the restart.) However, this may be just a glitch that my own phone has, and not something that would happen with every Evergreen.
Overall, though my phone has a few annoying quirks, I can put up with them, and I truly love my Evergreen.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, long battery life
Cons: prominently placed data button, unlocks itself while in pocket with other items
I would recommend this to a friend!

Alright for awhile

When I first got this phone it worked pretty well. It still sends and receives text messages and places and receives phone calls well. But recently I have been having major problems with MMS messages. I get an error message that says Sending Failed Unknown error. It's a very basic phone and does not surf web efficiently, but that's not what it's designed for. It works well when using as a texting phone or to place calls, but if you are an advanced person who likes extra features, don't buy this phone. I would only recommend this phone to someone if it was going to be their first phone. Other than that, don't buy. It will only work for about 6-8 months before it starts to slow down.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, will not send multimedia messages very well
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I got my first one in February of 2012, and it didn't even last me a year. Don't get me wrong, it's a very sturdy phone. I even slammed it in the door of a truck accidentally and it was fine. A few months later I couldn't hear anything but static out of the ear piece thing when I received calls. Then, I got a new one in January of 2013, and it white screened today (May 18th, 2013). I think this phone has a lot of bugs. Super obsolete. Don't buy it.
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, a lot of internal errors, cheaply made
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
