Good cell

This phone is very nice. It is a good value, it has a good camera that has the ability to upload your pictures onto the internet and it has good color. This phone is light and big enough that you know it's in your pocket.
The only bad part is that I went snowboarding and it got jiggled because I fell a few times and i looked at the phone and my backlight stopped working. I had to get a new one and lucky for me, best buy gave me a new one for free.
Overall great phone

Great Replacement Phone

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This phone was bought as a replacement phone for my postpaid account with T-Mobile. Simple to use is what I was looking for and Bluetooth. Got more then I was looking for in this phone.
Screen is nice and big for numbers. Service signal was better then my Razor. Phone has better grip I think then my razor did. Display again is great for photos, I have a digtal camera and photos look great when xfer to memory card.
Speaker volume is clear.
I wasn't to crazy about the buttons once you side it up but I guess that takes time to get use to after a while.
All features on this phone are used, which is amazing since the interface on the razor wasn't as well user friendly. I didn't have to read the manuel to understnad how to bring the volume up to say the least.
Highly recommend this phone other wise.

I purchased the red samsung before this one. The only problem was that the red one was such a basic phone with no bluetooth, no camera, and has no ability to play real ringtones!
I took it back and got this wonderful phone. It has bluetooth capabilities so you can sync it it to a wireless headset, a camera so you can take pictures and have picture calleer id, and the ability to play real ringtones so you can have your favorite tune playing before you answer your phone. Plus it's a slider and it's really beautiful and slim. T-mobile is amazing too because all my contacts are automatically syncronized to my online account.
This is a great phone and I highly recommend it.

Battery sucks but otherwise nice

I have had this phone over a year now. I don't use it much because I'm not a heavy cell phone user so I can't attest to its durability. Unfortunately though I can attest to its battery life. As I said, I rarely use the phone, so its mostly on standby. Its on, but not in use, and I'm not talking on it. There is no way it has anywhere near 14 days of standby on time. Maybe it would if I turned it off all the time. It has 1 day, maybe 2 at the most. I have to constantly charge it even if i don't use it. Because I forget I have a cell phone sometimes, (which is why I went the prepaid route) its kind of a pain to have to remember to charge it every night just in case I might need it.

This phone is awesome!!
I bought it like 3 months ago and it has been great.
The numbers a big, the screen is bright and big, and it slides!! Its also a blue- silver color. The speakers are great, When you have the volume up at the highest its very loud and if your like at a mall talking you can still hear even if its very loud. Everyhting about this phone is great!! It doesnt have an mp3 but its a basic & great phone :]

Excellent phone!!! I just took back my Sidekick Id and would rather have this phone because its cheaper and it has a camera! With the sidekick my friends would have to send pic messages to my e-mail instead of via-text. No problems with this phone!! I Love It.

I have this phone and cant wait until I get a new one. I like the fact that the phone slides up and down. I don't like the fact that you cant bluetooth unless the other phone is the same kind of phone. I don't know anybody with this phone so I have to record my ringtones. Or buy them off the internet, and I rather bluetooth!!

Bad price for a bad phone

After looking for awhile for a new prepaid phone I had noticed this one, I still think its one of the nicest looking phones you could get for prepaid but it breaks to easily. After having it for only 3 months when i slide the phone open it doesn't "know" that i have slid it open and must press a button to unlock it to make calls not much a big deal but now i can't use my camera because the phone thinks the slider is still closed even when its open.... also a few times the keypad will not respond nor light up and sometimes only a few buttons will work, i have never dropped this phone or gotten it wet or anything that could damage it, this phone is flimsy and unreliable

This phone is awesome, and its a slider. Its the only real prepaid phone that appealed to me for the price. I have depended on Best Buy for my electronic purchases and they have never failed me.

I had this phone just over a year and now its going down hill, it stalls when trying to type a text message, screen is very easily scrached, when the battery is dying it will turn off your ringtones and carmra and can't even look at your pictures but it won't die for a long time, and I also kepted getting a white screen everytime i used it now its to the point its unuseable, and it only holds 30 inbox but 200 outbox??? doesn't make sense to me..
