This phone is a tough cookie

PostedNovember 13, 2012
I would recommend this to a friend!
"This phone follows me everywhere. During and after work. I have had this phone for over two years and it has sustained scratches, "dings" , bumps, gets crushed in my uniform pocket almost everyday. It has even survived a few 45 foot drops from ladders. I see it drop, go down the ladder, reinstall the SIM card, battery and cover and every time it turns on! unbelievable but true."
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color

Happy with this phone

PostedMarch 28, 2013
I would recommend this to a friend!
"I have had this phone for 18 months and not once regretted it. It handles being dropped. I don't use all the features, but am very happy with the ones I do use. Plus it is easy to learn use of a new feature when I decide I want to start using it. This phone will stay in use until I am ready to upgrade to a smart phone. I am very likely to stay with Samsung. Priced well for what it is."
Pros: Durable

It's pretty good... if you are a first time cellphone buyer

PostedMarch 14, 2012
I would recommend this to a friend!
"It's ok for the average talk and text user. But, it 's design isn't the best. When i'm calling someone , i just have the habit of putting the phone right up to my ear, then it presses another button and hangs up...the touchscreen is waaayy too sensitive. Even if it's in my pocket, sometimes it turns on and starts working on it's own. Also, the phone is very thick so sometimes it's not very portable in your pocket.Although I do recommend it, you have to be very careful because it'll turn on and that drains battery life. And sometimes it just turns off, especially when you're texting, then you have to turn it on all over again and you lose your current text. Overall, it was a nice phone except for these minor/major difficulties."
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality, Too big, very sensitive touchscreen

Not good anymore for the average joe.

PostedNovember 13, 2011
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
"It has a music player, radio, and camera. All of which work great however with several set backs. For any chinese users your out of luck cause this thing does not support chinese characters. Japanese and korean work fine, that's about it, However you can not multitask with this phone, the music player will slow everything down, so best use this one application at a time. File browsing, I've noticed that it basically falls to it's knees when trying to scroll through a lot of pictures. (don't know if it's my specific unit)
Oh and texting, keyboard is not the best, but still functional. Do not expect to be able to text without looking with this one kids. And it seems to crash after texting for a fairly long period of time.
Good for just talking and listening to music, either than that; you could spend some more for something that can get the job done.

Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight, small form factor

Put the money into something better!

PostedMarch 29, 2013
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
"I regret buying this phone, and just wished I would have put the money into something better at the time. It cuts out all the time, it's not that loud (even on it's loudest setting), when text messaging the phone will automatically restart on it's own all the time, leaving you to retype everything all over again. It's overall, a very frustrating piece of junk!"
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations

Good Product if You Know Nothing About Technology

PostedSeptember 23, 2012
I would recommend this to a friend!
"Overall, it's a good phone. It's a touchscreen phone, built in speakers and camera, EDGE, GPRS, and WAP support (3G), media player, internet browser, everything that is in a high end phone. However, it needs a lot of improvement. Bigger screen, faster processor, front-facing camera, better multitasking, 4G and LTE, Wi-Fi, thinner, and lighter. It is a good phone if you're looking for durability, as I've put this phone in the shower, dropped it numerous times, scratched the touchscreen, and threw it a few times because of the periodic shut-downs. But it still works perfectly."
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, sturdy
Cons: no front facing camera, slow processor, no wi-fi, horrible multitasking, no 4g and lte, longer battery life

"i have had my phone for a year now and within a week of getting it, i was typing a text and it froze and rebooted itself...i thought i would give it more time...wrong i should have taken it back the longer i have it the more frequent it happens especially when i have a long msg typed. i also use my wake up alarm a lot and most times when i touch ok to shut it off the sound stops but it keeps vibrating til you remove battery and restart it. for the most part i do like the phone and it has some great features but this part of it is really frustrating since i mainly use my phone to text."
