Small yet very Powerful
By Steev
I bought this phone after dealing with the new SideKick 3 from Tmobile. As much as I enjoyed using the SK3, it was a huge brick to talk with and the camera was horrible and they did not improve the screen. Hence I got this new phone and can still take ten times better pictures with it. Same megapixels but the sensor in it is higher quality and the screen is very crisp and bright. Emailing pictures is as easy on the SK3 and the overall quality is amazing. Signal range is great too, no dropped calls. Charges very fast!

Very small, light, affordable & just right
By CyberSimba
This phone has the features that any good phone should have. It weighs 2.8 ounces and even with the battery installed it feels extremely light. Though it is very small in size, the keys are not tiny. The keys are arranged and spaced fine. When closed, this phone has volume up and down key and a camera key accessible on the outside. It has a nice dark grey body with a shiny black background for its screen and camera on the outside. When closed, you can turn on the camera using the button outside and take a portrait picture of yourself. Following are the Good and Bad points about this phone.
The Goods
-Very light (2.8 ounces), slim and small (3.9 x 2.0 x0.6 inches). Not too small either. Has a sleek finish.
-Quad band (850 MHz;900 MHz;1800 MHz;1900 MHz) International Phone
-Bluetooth wireless
-Sound quality, clarity and reception is really good.
-MP3 player that supports MP3, WMA, and ACC formats.
-1.3 MP Zoom Camera with video recorder
You can use video recorder in two modes. Default mode records clips upto maximum of 10 sec so that you can e-mail them instantly. If you use second mode you can record clips longer than 10 sec but of course limited to the memory available in this phone (max 21MB). You can choose to record video in different formats. You can also choose to save picture in different resolutions. Camera and video quality is really decent.
-Zoom voice feature. I really liked this feature as in noisy environment or in a place where your phone is not so close to the actual speaker, you can turn on this feature and the phone's mic acts a lot more sensitive and you can hear the speaker very clearly even if speaker is situated farther.
-Picture messaging
-Voice Notes
-Voice activated SPEAKER INDEPENDENT dialing.
This phone has a voice recognition software that attempts to recognize the name of the person you want to call and then connects to that person. When the phone is closed you can use multi purpose button on the headset by keeping the button pressed for more than 2 sec the voice recognition software activates then you can give any phone command or calling command to call anyone from your contacts.
-Speakerphone on this phone is loud enough.
-Sends and receives instant messages with Yahoo!, MSN, AOL, or ICQ
-Software interface in this phone responds pretty quick. There is a grouping feature using which you can group your contacts and assign a particular ringtone to a group.
-Phone is High Speed EDGE data transfer capable. I did not use this feature so far.
-SAR (Radiation rating) is nice it is 1.07 when close to ear and 0.9 when you wear it on body
-Phone book on the phone can hold generous 1000 contacts with 5 numbers for each.
-T-Mobile MyFaves capable
The Bads
-After using this phone for a while I thought of adding this point: This phone has a camera button on the right hand side. There is no lock for this button. So it is very easy to accidently press this button. Sometimes you do not realize and the camera could be on for several minutes eating away the battery life.
-Just 21 MB of internal memory. Samsung could have been more generous for this quality of phone.
-No memory slot. Personally I don't need memory slot as I use my iPod for music and other data that I want to store. However considering the fact that most other hi-tech phones of this quality do come with memory slot, Samsung could have provided one for this phone.
-Phone displays date-time, signal and battery strength on the outside but only for few seconds and then the screen goes blank to save energy. If you are used to seeing the time on the front LCD this phone does not provide the time on the outside unless you press volume key for more than 2 sec. That is if you keep outside volume key pressed for 2 sec the outside LCD shows the time etc again for few sec and then goes blank.
Overall in my opinion this phone has really useful features that any good phone should have. I was not big on the points (Bads) this phone lacked in. If you are looking for affordable, small, very light, quad band, bluetooth phone with camera+video+mp3. This is just the right phone!

Thin and Lightweight
By mrskitty
I upgraded from my Motorola V180 to this camera phone because I upgraded my plan to have the myfaves feature. My review is a little comparison to my old phone considering this is my first Samsung phone.
Appearance- Thin and lightweight. Keypad is big and easy to press. You won't be able to change menu screen.
Battery- It charges quickly, but it also drains quickly. Maybe it's because it's due to me playing around with the camera.
Call Quality- Clear calls.
Camera/Video- My first camera phone, and I have to say that it's pretty decent. I still have to figure out all the camera settings. I added photos of my cats if you want to see picture quality. When I transferred them to my computer it came out a little dark. Not too sure if this happens to all camera phones. There is no flash, but you can use the nighttime mode. Video playback is decent too.
Games- There are four games. Forgotten Warrior, Freekick, Arch Angel, and Midnight Pool. I don't use them.
LCD- Very bright screen. Light will dim and turn off after a minute of idle time. Outer screen light will not be on when phone is closed. It's a drawback since I like to see the time displayed on phone at all times.
Music/Video player- I don't use it, but there is one downloaded video that came with it. It doesn't have a memory card slot so I don't think you'd be able to save a lot of files if you're into that kind of stuff.
Phonebook- Customized ringtones for callers must be saved to phone. A number that is saved to phone and SIM will have double entries. Lots of extra spaces to put email address, work #, picture ID, etc. under one name.
Sounds- Vibration and silence mode can be turned on by pressing just one button. My old phones used to ring and vibrate at the same time whereas this phone will only vibrate first and then ring. Speakerphone is soft though, and you have to click twice just to turn it on.
TXT/IM- I hate using T9 form, and unfortunately it's the default setting and you won't be able to change it. It's very tedious to make 3 clicks to put it in normal mode everytime I create a message. 200 messages can be saved to phone while only 30 is saved to SIM. I think it all depends from the settings you saved from your old phone. IM is great.
Voice Dial- I do not use it.
Other- Downloading files is very quick. Sometimes there is too many clicks just to do a task like deleting a file or message. Transferring personal made ringtones from computer to phone can only be saved as an alarm tone. It was also disappointing that I had to buy more ringtones and games for my phone as the SIM did not transfer my files from my old phone. It has a stopwatch, timer, unit conversion, and tip calculater that my other phones lacked. You can set the calendar on the front of the screen if you want to.
If you like a basic camera phone, then this is good for you. To me the pros outweighs the cons so I'll be sticking with it.
