Pros: 1. Responsive touch screen
2. Full HTML browser built in
3. Gestures and Widgets
4. EASY to use
Cons: Auto Keyguard... I turned it OFF in the phone settings menu
Summary: This is a review of the U.S. Cellular Samsung Delve (as Alltel doesn't sell phones in my area). First, the TouchWIZ interface is much more responsive than nearly every other touch interface I've used, excluding iPhone. In fact, before trying this model, I borrowed two other touch phones and tried them out. The first one, an iPhone, was alright, but I didn't want to change cell carriers and couldn't have a touch screen by itself. The second one, an LG, just didn't fit my needs- I clearly needed a larger screen, better control placement and more reliable speech recognition. Then I heard about Delve, and went to the store this morning to try it. The Delve has the best of both touch phones I tried in the past- it's got the 2 MP camera, responsive touch screen and gestures of the iPhone while also having the physical controls of the LG and a speech recognition system neither of them can match.
Overall, the Delve makes a perfect addition to U.S. Cellular's lineup and I would definitely recommend the Delve to my friends and colleagues.
Pros: 1.Responsive touch screen
2.Qwerty keyboard
3.Good reception
4.Easy to use/learn
5.Good bang for your buck
6.Full html browser
Cons: 1.Battery life can run a little low when using browser
2.Auto-lock can be a pain sometimes
Summary: I really enjoy this phone and am glad i bought it. I have it for US Cellular, not Alltel, so the comparison might not be the same.
Its got a great touchscreen with a cool widgets menu for nice customization. The browser runs great for a non-3G network. I load web pages very quickly. The on-screen qwerty keyboard looks small but its very intuitive and comfortable to use. The auto-lock is useful but it locks too quickly sometimes, which cant be changed but can be turned off. You hold the lock key longer to turn it off. Definitely not an Instinct or Omnia but a great choice for anyone who wants to get into the touchscreen fad.
Overall its a great phone, especially with US Cellulars lack of nice phones. Go for it you wont be sorry.
