This phone reaches a whole new level of suck!
on December 18, 2010
Posted by: Twinklestarsd
I have had cell phones for the past 10 years, usually getting a new one every year. This is by far the worst phone I have ever had. I am so mad that CNET gave it 3.5 stars when the user reviews appear to be 1.5 stars. The call quality is horrendous. The phone menus are not intuitive at all. If you want to transfer files from your PC you have to go through at least 6 steps including manually turning off the phones ability to take calls. Ridiculously complicated!!!! If Samsung plans to "restore" anything, they should start with restoring this phones ability to actually work.
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, terrible call quality, not user friendly
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

every time i plugged this phone into the charger it would shut off claiming I had the wrong charger. The only charger I used was the one that shipped with the phone. It also often would freeze up when texting or using any application. Junk.
Pros: Built-in speakers
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this phone but exchange for the Trender a week later; I couldn't stand it any more. The joystick is incredibly sensitive and difficult to control. The user interface is counter-intuitive and impossible to customize without connecting to the internet. Feels cheap in your hand. Battery life is very poor. On the plus side, the camera is nice, as well as the screen. However, in the same price range, there are much better phones than this that you can find.
Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: impossible joystick, non-customizable, inefficient interface

My phone is not at all what I thought it would be,I am not enjoying it.I just got my phone one week ago and already having problems,when I try to make or receive a call the "mute button" automatically comes on and I'm screaming trying to hear and they're screaming trying to hear me.I just happened to look at the screen and saw unmute,I'm like I never pushed mute! And today I cannot get a call through at all no one can hear me even after I push unmute. Now I'm not even sure what to do so many companies are invovled with this one phone
Pros: Bright display
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

within 30 days, the screen started to display blank white lines, cutting out parts of the screen and making it impossible to see things like clock, date, message icons, etc.
Currently back at Samsung for warranty work.
They were helpful with quick response, and paid shipping label to return to them.

I just wonder how long a new screen will last til it does the same thing again...
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, great camera, keyboard layout and button size
Cons: poor durabilty, very few game downloads

Every problem known to man

My phone has reset itself, frozen every ten minutes, not turned off, turned off randomly, and now the messaging style had screwed up. I've had it for a year now and cannot wait to get away from it. I got this for the keyboard and that's the only good thing about it. The vibrate had died now it goes in and out when it pleases. In places where I don't lose signal now drops my calls, I'm losing service bars and am now down to at most three. Battery is amazing however.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Lightweight, battery life
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, frozen
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
