Poor phone design - Hurts to use!
I am totally disappointed with the physical design of this phone. When I have it held to my ear, the silver edge that sticks out actually digs into my cheekbone. Just enough that after a short call it leaves a red mark and an indentation. After a slightly longer call the mark is actually really sore. Why the need for the sharp edge? Otherwise, it works fine. I'm finally buying a different model after suffering with this one for three months. It's really a silly design.
Why didn't someone warn me?
I shop through amazon all the time and I am usually very happy with my purchases. However, I was in search of a new samsung phone because I like their products and for some reason, decided on this one. The first thing that threw me off was the "list price" that stated the phone was worth $199. I have since been to a t-mobile store and the price is $9.99, for good reason. Why didn't anyone say anywhere in the description or the reviews that this is a YOUTH PHONE???
It even feels like a toy. There are 4 screen savers. Lassie, some Lab puppies, a snowboarder, and some teacups, I guess for the sophisticated consumer. And I refuse to pay $1.50 to download a new screen saver because I am not throwing any more money into this toy. I am way too old to be carrying this phone and it is way too hard to return it to amazon without terrible complications to my phone service. BAD IDEA!
great phone
I bought this phone to repair an older Samsung model. I've had this phone now for a month and it has not given me any problems. I did not need a phone with fancy gadgets. All I wanted the phone to do was to call and receive phone calls without static. A nice added bonus was the speaker phone which works fairly well. Another benefit of this phone was that you could transfer your phonebook and old text messages that were stored on a SIM card staright to this phone. The included ringtones are a bit cheesy but was not a bid deal since I all I wanted was a cheap phone that works well.
