Still happy after a year 2010-09-03

By Steve Z.

I bought this phone about a year ago and have been very pleased with it. The slide-out keyboard is great for texting, and the touch screen interface is smooth (I don't prefer to use the touch-screen keyboard for texting, but it does a nice job if you like to use it). Call quality is fairly good and the battery life is excellent. I can go several days, sometimes almost a week without charging if I don't use it much. Additionally, it seems to be a pretty sturdy phone, as I've had it for a year and have dropped and bumped it many times without it breaking. The only complaints I have with it are that:

1) Internet browsing is very clunky on this phone. I signed up for internet on it for a couple months but ended up canceling because it was too slow and awkward to navigate.

2) The slide-out keyboard does have some problems after awhile of either having to press a key hard to get it to enter or sticking a tad to produce duplicate letters. These haven't been nagging problems, however, since they are not incredibly often.

Overall, this is the happiest I've been with any of my phones so far because of its reliability and battery life. It simply gets the job done.

Phone Has A Texting Glitch 2010-08-18

By Big C

Several Att representative have confirmed with me that this phone has a texting glitch. After 100 text, you are unable to send any text. The phone will either go into a sending limbo (screen will say "sending" but will not send any messages) or it will lock. If the phone is in the sending limbo you have to power off the phone and power the phone back on. If the phone locks, you have to do a hard reset (remove the battery then put back in). This was a inconvenience for my son and a safety issue for me as a parent. I did not have insurance on the phone but Att finally agreed to replace my phone under the phones warranty. If you purchased this phone and have this issue, you cannot be charged the restocking fee if you return it within the grace period because it is a defect.

Not worth having 2010-08-03

By S. Agrawal (Hillsboro, OR United States)

Had it for six months now. The only good thing that is that it does not have problems in making/recieving calls.
Otherwise,
It is heavy..feels like you are holding a brick.
No Wifi.
You can't install any other apps apart from what samsung has installed.

Do not recommend at all.

BAD CHOICE 2010-07-28

By abby

this phone has a bunch of little neat features, which i enjoyed, but its an all around bad phone for an adult that actually NEEDS a working reliable phone

the reception it got was enough to make me stop using it and switch to my old phone that i had for 2 years. dropped calls, no bars. i constantly had to reboot it because texting would freeze, and the alarm stopped working. the keypad is very difficult to text on (which was the whole reason for its appeal...the full qwerty keyboard).

i did enjoy the perks of the different camera functions like panoramic, but, it just wasn't all that worth it.

thank god i got it for free through my contract, because otherwise, i would have been a very unhappy customer.

Poorly performing phone. 2010-07-26

By SSTrickymeister (Hella, CA)

I enjoy having a slider phone with full capabilities. Before this phone, I had the Rumor by Sprint. Despite being two years older, that phone performed a lot better than this one. This phone takes forever to load things (i.e. there's long delays when menus load, and it's at least a two-minute wait before you can do anything when you turn the phone on). Additionally, the phone imposes a texting speed limit: I type faster than the phone allows, so I have to go back and fix errors from entry that the phone missed.
I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but the phone also randomly decides to stop functioning. I'll send a text and lock my phone, assuming the text went out. I'll look at my phone an hour later, and it will still be sitting on the "sending" screen. I'll try it two more times, and it will just sit on the sending screen. So I'll have to restart the phone just to send one text. Additionally, sometimes when I make a call, the phone will start to dial, then just end the call before any connection is made. This also requires me to restart the phone.
The full keyboard is nice. The buttons are bigger than on my previous phone, so I never mash two buttons trying to type something in. The camera's okay for a phone of this type. And all the side features work great: unlimited amount of alarms, stopwatch, timer, etc.

Overall, Samsung did an okay job with everything on this phone that is not phone-related. But the main features of the phone (texting, calling) perform horribly.
