Crippled phone designed to get you to upgrade or spend money on other services

Overall Rating:
2.8 out of 5

From: X, IL (United States)
Experience: 30 Days
Pros: Inexpensive, somewhat customizable menus, useful tools, decent sound quality

Cons: No USB connectivity, not compatible with AT&T Mobile Backup, Small display and can’t change font size, No display on front cover of the phone.

Summary: I bought this phone because it was cheap and got what I paid for. It’s only good for people who want a standard phone setup and don’t have many entries in their phonebook.

You can’t connect this phone to a PC. Samsung confirmed that so don’t believe ads you see for data cables If you want custom ringtones or graphics in this phone you’ll have to pay your carrier for them. It’s not compatible with AT&T Mobile Backup so if you lose the phone, your address book is gone forever.

Since there is no display on the front of the phone, you have to open the phone to see who’s calling.

I plan to buy a new phone on ebay to replace this one.

It's nice

Pros: It's nice, and it's small and has some nice features

Cons: no camera and buttons are a little small

Summary: I just got this and I already got yelled at for playing with it. It's nice looking and has some nice features. Something I think is cool is that it has a tip calculator which is a shortcut calculator that tells you a sufficient tip for your bill depending on your percentage you put in (15% is default). All in all it's a good starter phone but eventually I'm giving it to my mom so I can get the Samsung Eternity.
