"This phone is excellent! It just WORKS!
The user's guide is skimpy, but the setup and controls are easy and intuitive.
It is easy to learn how to use.
Don't expect the web connect to display like a pc, but the data-only display of the internet is quite adequate and the browser has many nice features.

"I recently picked up this phone to replace the slider qwerty keyboard phone I had. I like this one much better. Don't need to slide it open to reach the keyboard, and the screen is a little bigger. Still has all the familiar samsung phone features I'm use to. Would recommend this phone to others. Accessories are plentiful too. It's the same phone as the Samsung R350."

"I love the full keyboard, it makes sending a text message or e-mail very simple. I also enjoy being able to plug in the usb cable to my phone and downloading all my favorite music, I am also able to plug the usb cable from the phone into my car stereo and listen to my music through my stereo system(was able to get rid of all the cd's that tend to wind up scratched). Just so you know I did have to buy the sd card and usb cable seperately, but it was more like in investment than a seperate purchase, like I said I dont have to carry around cd's anymore. It is also easy to find everything on this phone.The only thing I would change about this phone is..... It does not have video. I am unable to view some of my e-mails because of this. Overall this is a great phone and I would recommend it to anyone looking for great value at a great price."
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, easy to use
Cons: no video

"Have used this phone for about a year now with no problems, having come out of a contracted service, for both calling and texting. I bought it for the small size and many features. The features all work well as advertised. I wish the ringer was louder and internet access was more than very basic, but overall this is a great product for the money. It is small and durable, with only a few scratches now on the screen (I can't "baby" my phones), and has survived a drop into a water puddle this past winter and still works. With my increased texting requirements and this phone having a small keyboard, I may have to switch to a bigger keyboard (some older friends can't see the letters, something to consider) like the R341c, but I'll use this one until its service life is over. Very satisfied overall."
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight, good call quality
Cons: soft ringer., minimal internet capabilities.

PostedFebruary 12, 2011
"Good pre-paid phone for just needing basic phone with keyboard. One big drawback is not being able to back up your contacts via the USB or SD Mini Memory Card. Web use is VERY limited.
If your looking for a no frills, pre-paid phone, this is the one for you. So in that, it's a good phone. Just wish you had a way to back-up contacts.
"
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, takes clear photos
Cons: unable to backup contacts via usb, no custom case to protect screen, only excepts plain text messages

"this is a Tracfone/Straight Talk phone. It has bluetooth capability, a music player, will play mp3 ringtones, has a browser but it's kinda limited. You can check your email and use some of the social networkign sites, but as I said, kind of limited. Pretty fast too, the qwerty keyboard is a plus, which is why I got this one. I think it's a pretty good phone."

The Latest Offering From Straight Talk: Worth It?

PostedApril 1, 2010
I would recommend this to a friend!
PostedApril 1, 2010
"PROS:
1. Well-priced messaging phone
2. Good keyboard, even for adult fingers
3. Nice size
4. Big screen
5. Straight Talk has excellent call plans. Customer service? I'll find out...
CONS:
1. Unclear as to whether contacts can be synced with computer. If not, a meaningful minus. (This might also be determined by how Straight Talk configures this phone for its service)
2. Materials: Decent but battery cover is thin and merely "clicks" in. Plastic could be more solid/thicker and finish more attractive.
3. No video. Not a major drawback for me but depends on individual user.
4. 1.3 MP camera is behind the curve.

"I used this phone for 18 months, then gave it to a friend when I got an Android. She is still using it, and delighted to have Internet access on a phone for such a reasonable price. My only criticisms are the difficulty using the teeny tiny buttons for dialing -- and the lack of downloadable applications through SmartPhone. If it had had Apps, I probably would have stayed with it, because the price is right!"

Great texting phone

PostedMarch 26, 2011
PostedMarch 26, 2011
"Pros:
-Relatively inexpensive
-Great sound quality on calls
-Great sound quality on MP3 player
-Excellent voice dialing feature (works great with bluetooth headset)
-Allows texts sent as email
Cons:
-Can't enter people's physical address, thus not feasible as full-fledged address book.
-Can't start music player if in vibrate mode.
-Hard to figure out how to set ringer up to ring and vibrate - you have to hit volume first!!!
-Can't hide number I am calling from (that feature exists even in Nokia 1600).
-Alarm clock rings once - as soon as you hit a button you won't hear it again - no snooze function
-Calendar reminder when phone is locked is automatically silenced when you hit any button (even when you hit the soft button "view now" which does not let you view the appt, telling you the phone is locked), then goes off again 5 mins later at which time the phone has automatically locked again even if you had unlocked it previously - you can stay in this vicious cycle forever unless you go in and disable auto lock or delete your calendar appt.
-No synchronization of calendar or address book with PC
-No games
-If browser is important to you, you may need a different phone - this browser is slow, I knew before I bought so not a big issue for me.
-No international texting (you can do that even with my old Nokia 1600)

"There isn't much that this phone can do except for texting, calling and browsing the internet. There are no apps, or games for this phone. It doesn't even come with a data cable! Overall this phone is overestimated and overpriced. After using this phone for a while I understand that buying it was a mistake and do not recommend it to anyone else. Now with all of these cons, this phone does have some pros. It has a battery life of up to 2-3 days. It is pretty hard to break if it falls. The sound quality is pretty good and despite what anyone else says, the keyboard is not to small. I am a person with chubby fingers and I can use the qwerty board with ease."

No browser, the alarm does't work unless it's set up perfectly. No snooze either. It asks, then lets ya sleep right on through work. very durable though. hit the pavement a couple of times but still works. If you want a better browser get a 401 instead."

A love-hate relationship

PostedOctober 26, 2012
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
PostedOctober 26, 2012
"Does NOT allow you to put an address in the phone directory. Does NOT have or allow any games. Does NOT allow any apps to be installed. Does NOT have GPS. Does NOT allow you to use Google or Bing maps on the browser because it does NOT allow Java Script. This lack is a problem because it prevents many sites from showing information. Bcause it does NOT allow Java script, many prices, e.g. at Amazon, do NOT show. I do not recommend this phone any longer. And, does NOT block phone numbers from anyone outside of Straighttalk customers. Does NOT stabilize pictures when using 1.3 megapixel camera. Does NOT allow editing of pictures, such as rotation.
Pro: Does allow up to 16gb miniSD card for music, pics and ringtones. Keyboard works well even with my large fingers. The battery life is a week or more for me who does not use the phone much, and about 4 days if I use the MP3 player, which I do daily for an hour or so. Use earbuds instead of the weak phone speakers. The screen is a good size for a cell phone. It is visible in sunlight by adjusting brightness.

Buggiest phone I've ever owned

PostedNovember 29, 2011
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
PostedNovember 29, 2011
"I bought this phone in February.
In June, the backlight stopped working for about a month and a half. It did start working again.
In September, the charging circuit broke and the phone malfunctioned and the phone thinks it's charging all the time. I have to unplug it from the charger when the batteries get warm.
In September, the bluetooth stopped working.
It would be understandable if I worked in a harsh environment, but I am an engineering instructor working at a college whom keeps the phone in a shirt pocket.
There are also issues with the human interface that makes usage difficult to adapt to.
Text messaging is particularly awkward. A phone that can only store 100 messages? This isn't 1983 anymore where flash memory runs $20 per 128K. Really guys? Can't even save them as a text file? Has anybody wrote an entire message in punctuation and numbers because the function key was pressed just to get a '?' symbol?
Web browser also has memory constraints. There are even wikipedia pages that this browser can't render.
The phonebook, why can't I {up/down}load my contacts list from a text or CSV file?
These are simple software decisions that Samsung never thought of. In this day in age, I expect more innovation. This is the first Samsung product I have bought and I will be more careful choosing my next phone.
The phone speaker/microphone quality is pretty good though, that is primarily what I use a phone for."
Pros: makes clear calls despite weak signals
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations

PostedApril 18, 2011
"This is the worst texting phone I have ever used. It doesn't let you scroll through received messages, it will only hold 100 messages in the inbox, it erases your hole message if you exceed the 160 characters maximum, the web browser is slow, and there is no missed calls icon so if you bump a button before noticing there was a missed call it never tells you there was a missed call. I can not say enough bad things about this phone. DO NOT BUY IT!!!! I am downgrading to a flip phone just to be rid of this terrible device."
