"This phone is great for the user who likes average features and a product good for the money. With less than 2 weeks with the phone, I am still discovering features of the phone. To limit people from using your phone, you can lock applications from being seen by anyone unless they have a combination. This really helps me keep my data secure. The micro SD card slot is great for storing music and pictures. When connecting to a computer, you have options for the computer to treat the phone as a mass storage device."

Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, awesome features, wifi

Cons: browser only works with wifi not on the go

"This phone does what I want and has enough features to make it a good value. I am a moderate texter, rely on email and occasionally need access to the Internet. This phone what I need and does it well. Not being an Android OS, it is lacking access to useful applications, but includes enough to get the job done."

"I have had non-contract pre-paid phones for many years that met my needs. This phone is the best so far. The features are fantastic. 2.0Mp camera, good size for your hand, buttons are small but plenty manageable, many apps are compatible, great center pressure button and unbelievable price but WiFi is by far my favorite. I love it so much I just ordered a second identical phone for my kids. I'm so impressed with Samsung brand I just ordered a new refrigerator by them. Keep up the great work and interesting features. I'll repost later on durability/longevity since I've only had the phone a week but researched for a month prior."

"After reading other reviews I was surprised that I didn't have the problems others had with this phone. I utilize tracfone as my service provider and the only concern I have is the rate at which they deduct minutes for web browser use as compared to my old cdma phone. I can now understand why they offer triple minutes instead of double minutes with this phone. The only reason I didn't give it an overall rating of 5 was because of the rate airtime is charged., which really has nothing to do with the quality of the phone and it's features."

"This little beauty is a great starter phone for those that has not used one b4. U can't beat the value. Been using it only for 2 1/2 weeks;I like it alot. I'm previous owner of 1 of the first smartphones with WIFI 06' & wanted something similiar with a keyboard & not a touchscreen. With 1 of those contract providers for 15 yrs paying 4 service I didn't use. Unfortunely couldn't take my old phone with me. Small issue trying to use WIFI on secure sites. I'm sure I'll get it worked out just hadn't had the necessary time to research the problem. Alarm function is different from what I'm use to (I use my phone as personal wake up alarm.) I like the navigation button. Too bad I'm gonna have to manually enter my addressbook. Haven't used camera/video yet. great signal & volume "no drop calls""

I read all the reviews before purchasing it, and have not experienced the negative qualities that some other's have. One review mentioned the tiny keys and ease of accidently pressing the spacebar twice. I avoid this by tapping the side or edge of the spacebar key. The phone's features are pretty simplisctic, but I knew I wasn't purchasing a smartphone."

"This is a good phone for its price range.

Pros: It has WiFi allowing internet access without carrier charges, the sound quality is good, has Bluetooth, lightweight but seems of good quality.

Cons: buttons are a bit small. I am constantly double clicking the space bar which gives you a period and a space (frustrating), the screen is small for internet use (but I really only intend to use it for needed searches while away from a PC), My biggest gripe and I think its substantial is that it comes loaded with "Samsung PC Studio" which is needed to transfer contacts and for whatever reason, though Samsung sells this phone to my provider they don't support the provider and therefore supply no driver for this phone to be used with their own software. Incredibly lame and leaves you typing them in one by one with the phones keypad."

Pros: Built-in speakers, Inexpensive, Lightweight, wifi, true internet, good sound

Cons: small buttons, small screen, lack of support

"The phone's "browser" isn't exactly a browser but you can get on the internet in a round about way. There doesn't seem to be any possibility of adding necessary applications such as a password vault which I find to be one of my most important features on the Blackberry I am replacing. I tried an Android but the screen was hard on my eyes. I am thinking about using this as a backup and going to an Android with a larger screen to have access to applications. Samsung offers game downloads for a fee but I don't use a phone as a mobile game station. I do use the calendar, tasks memo and of course the password vault I am sorely missing. If it was available I would be willing to overlook the sorry browser and give this phone high marks as it does perform very well"
