 nice phone! | |
| Overall, decent. The LCD is nice and bright, and it's a good size too. I was surprised at how crisp the screen was. The display was nice and clear-- two thumbs up. I tried out the camera of course. The flash option is nice, but doesn't do as much brighting I hoped (I didn't try taking pictures outside, but I'm sure those would be 10 times better) Many of the other pictures stored on the phone seemed a bit dark as well. However, besides that, the quality of the pictures was really good. Also, there are options for different kinds of photos you want to take-- whether you are taking one of someone else, taking a self portrait, or doing a group photo. The phone is cute. Silver, flip phone, camera, color screen. It is by far one of the best in it's class. It is true that Sprint has high prices on service plans, and I've also heard that the customer service is lousy, but as for their phones, Sprint is holding the weight. Plus, the phone is free right now, so hey, why not? | |

| Samsung did a tremendous design job on this phone, the VGA1000 (for the Sprint PCS network). My soon-to-be-wife and I purchased identical phones a few months ago and decided to give them a test run. The design on this phone is subperb - it is small, elegant, and professional, while at the same time remaining trendy and up with the times. Its camera is one of the best out there, and the screen on this phone is beautiful. We've also found the sound quality to be delightful, and have been impressed with its durability as well. The software is quite fast on this phone -- although the web browser is a bit slower than on Sanyo phones, it is plenty fast nonetheless. We also found the software to be quite stable, with very few of those problems that often come up with the "latest and greatest" PCS phones. The only cons: Reception is poor compared to Sanyos when in the Sprint PCS network. That said, it seems to find a digital roaming signal BETTER than my old Sanyo 8100 did. It also has a strange quirk wherein you can punch a one-number dial and press talk, only to realize you pressed the wrong number.... so you press "end." However, as soon as you try to dial a different number, you find yourself calling the one to accidentally dialed to begin with if you didn't completely shut your phone. Not a big deal - just a silly quirk. Perhaps they've fixed this with the newer versions of the phone. Overall, this is a great phone! |
