Samung news and Reviews

Battery is my biggest problem
I've had this phone for several months now and in general, I love it. The two-way flipping is great, the keypad has never been a problem for me, and it has features I haven't even explored like web browsing and email. My two biggest complains however are that there is no way to put music on this phone without buying it. You can not hold the phone up to a speaker and record it, or download your own onto it. But the biggest problem of all, for me especially as a college student is that I use the phone as my alarm clock to wake up for class. 90% of the time, it works great, but the phone has a nasty tendency to die overnight even if you go to sleep with 2 battery bars. My previous phone could last all night with one bar as long as it was left untouched. This morning I missed class because my phone died overnight and failed to wake me up, which inspired me to write this review. I wish the "standby" mode was more efficient at keeping the phone alive through the night.

Better for VZW, but needs a better antenna
This was the first VZW phone I've owned that I didn't hate. Which isn't to say I like it though:

Pros: Solid battery life. Thin. Fits well on ear, and loud enough to hear in crowded areas. The two way flip and qwerty keyboard.

Cons: The antenna is awful. Places where verizon reception used to be fine now aren't. I get a ton of missed calls now b/c the phone never rings. It's hard to dial a phone number on this b/c the buttons are small and each has a number, a letter, and three smaller letters and all are the same color. I got used to it quickly but if you have thick fingers or poor vision I'd suggest taking this for a test drive before you buy it. Last complaint is there's no headphone jack. You have to plug in an adapter (included) and then plug headphones into that.

Worst phone in the world
This is the owrst phone in the world. the keys are wayyy to small and it takes 4 or 5 times to dial a phone number, also it turns itself off. My battery broke because it was in the fog (moisture or something) now my battery keeps on telling me that i put a car battery in it so it can't charge. Worst phone ever. period.
