gthe blast

Overall Rating:

By: DESHAWNDRA B . on Tuesday, June 17, 2008
From: HOUSTON, TX (United States)
Experience: 2 Weeks
Pros: I love the color, the email, and most of all the mp3

Cons: Hard to copy all of the files from the memory card.

Summary: I went from the Wing to the Blaskt and its a huge difference very basic but cool at the same time.

I must've had brain damage when I purchased the Blast.

Experience: 3 Months
Pros: The phone is a nice phone. It is my first sliding phone and QWERTY key pad. The email with no internet plan needed is very nice. Very good for a first time phone.

Cons: The Cons, well, this wasn't my first phone, I plan buying my old model of phone at FULL price cause I can't stand this one. The battery life Stinks, it barely lasts half a day if you use it alot and even you'll get to two bars to one bar within a day if it sits. The messaging is a pain cause if you send the same text to multiple people, you have to WAIT till that message is sent to each person one by one. Also if the signal is lost, it won't continue sending the message till you tell it you tell

Summary: The Samsung Blast is a good choice if you are thinking about purchasing your first or upgrading from a really old model. It's really good for Email and IM, but lacks in user friendly personalization and also consistent functions for all the features. All in all, first phone, Awesome, but if you are used to high end phones like the RAZR, SideKick, Shadow (esp Shadow), BlackBerry or similar, think twice.

Great Phone

By: Dan Cross on Thursday, January 03, 2008
From: Minneapolis, MN (United States)
Experience: 3 Weeks
Pros: Cost(about$30-$40 with contract), ease of use and features(camera,MP3 and ability to get e mail without adding internet to your plan).

Cons: The menu(s) on this phone are a bit of a pain to get use to and it stocked with very few ringtone options(guess they wan you to buy them). You can use mp3`s as ringtones though.

Summary: It`s a great little starter phone for people interested in getting a smart phone . It`s far from being a Blackberry but very user friendly.

By: adam schweiger on Tuesday, November 13, 2007
From: sandiego, CA (United States)
Experience: 4 Weeks
Pros: thin,loud mp3 playback when not using the muic player,good camera,nice customization fetures.nice battery life,blackbeey style keypad

Cons: while playing music on the music player the volume isnt as loud as it would be if you played it straight off your memory card, battery seems to drain quicker while using instant messanger,no flash on camera, keypad seems to only register one action when you press it twice fast.

Summary: So far i gotta say the samsung blast is a awsome phone it does everything i would want a cell phone to do if you have a converter that can conver videos into 3pg format then you can put your own videos onto the phone. there were some small thisng that bugged me like the lower sound when usung the music player,no flash,and the responsivness on the keypad but besides that i love the phone and would definatly recomend it
