Customer Reviews

I love this phone!!!!!!

I am just coming off a v-6oo (I also used the razr for a while) and I was looking for a new phone. I went to my friends house and he had just gotten this one. I loved the look, the feel, and the overall interface from just playing with it for a few min. After some more research I decided that this was the phone I wanted. I have had it for about a week and i absolutly love it!!!!!

Pros

1. Great look and design. The slide works great and the materials are high quality and impact resistant plastics. The black is mostly a satin finish that doesn't show fingerprints.

2. The display is huge and bright. It provides easy viewing even in the sun.

3.The mp3 player and storage options are great. A micro sd card (512) can be had for about 40 bucks if you find a good deal.

4.The sound is excellent and queing up songs as the ringtones is sweet. (The only trick is that songs that you want to use as ringtones must have the .3gp file extension if they are protected).

5.The camera and video recorder work great and the lens folds over to avoid being scratched.

6.I was initally worried that over time the slider may wear down or break, but just about everthing I do with the phone does not require me to open the phone. You can acess your phone book, menus, mp3s, and pictures without ever having to open the slider. The only time you need to open the phone is to text message, dial a number you don't have saved, or take a picture. Plus the keys lock quickly so you don't jump on the internet my accident.

Cons

1.With the v-600 I could apply different sounds to the all the ringers, voice mail, text message, and others. With this phone I can only select presets for the message and voice mail alert. (not a huge deal but I am running low on cons so I thought I soule mention it)

2.I am wary of the covers for the ports as they look like in time they may break, But now that I think of it it probably would be orderable from samsung or something.

3.Battery life could be better. You can blow through the battery if you are media heavy, so be careful.

None of these however take away a star from the rating. Samsung has done a great job with this phone. It is by far the best phone I have ever owned. It looks great, sounds great, and gets good/better than good reception. I am very happy with the purchase and can say that there is no better phone for overall size and function.

P.S. The one thing I would reccommend for every single person that gets this phone is a screen cover. There are some very good covers that you can get for around $10 that fit perfectly and take very little away from the screen. I cut up one I had for my psp until the one for the phone arrives and it works great. The reason is because the screen is a whore for fingerprints and face oil. You will be constantly wiping down your phone without a cover. Plus it does a great job of protecting against scratches. When you get a fitted one you will never know it is there.


best slider phone

I bought this phone free after rebate from amazon. amazon duplicated my order so I end up buying two phones and two contracts. i still need to cancel one of the order. hope it's not too messy to do.

this phone has the best screen on the market. qvga resolution, it's supper smooth, and it's very bright. viewable out in the bright sunny day. camera quality is ok to play with but not for prints. get a camera if you want take good photos, phone is a phone. mp3 player is nice, with the trans flash memory slot, you can decide how many songs to store. currently the largest trans flash memeory is 512mb, but this will change over time. ear buds are non standard jack, i dont like this. this is my 1st phone with external speakers, it's very usefull when you want other ppl to hear it or put the phone down instead of holding next to your head.
video play back quality is very good, thanks to the qvga hi-res screen. i only tried the demo mtv video came with the phone. one thing to notice is the phone gets warm when playing video/audio.

keys are kinda small and without ridges so maybe hard to press blindly.

bluetooth works fine. but when pairing, you must press yes button to accept. my older sony t630 automaticlly pairs without having to press any buttons if the device was previously setup with the phone. also, turning bluetooth on and off also reqires going into the setup menu instead of a easy short cut button. my acura tl works with it but doesn't show battery and signal status. my t630 worked with all features.

no phone is perfect, this is one of the best out one the market right now. hold one in your hand, you will be attracted by the screen.
