Shiny Shiny: Verizon Wireless drops the Samsung Gleam

The Gleam by Samsung is a glossy metallic bronze on the outside with a shiny silver keypad inside. In addition to the living wallpaper, the Gleam by Samsung features a 2.0 megapixel camera with NighShot, Mobile Web 2.0 and V-CAST capable and up to 4 GB of expandable memory.

Samsung Gleam...neat to look at but...

Overall Rating:
3.3 out of 5
By: Lori Springer on Monday, November 19, 2007
From: Sarasota, FL (United States)
Experience: 22 Days
Pros: Fun items (can change color/font of numbers/lettters)...nice to have 2.0 megapix.

Cons: Quiet...cannot hear this phone (especially incoming call alerts.) To get to the memory card you have to take out the battery.

Summary: We sent this phone back...I really liked a bunch about it but, we simply could not hear it. Its vibration is also weak! Who wants a phone you can't hear to answer. I am happy to go back to my Samsung a950, although I will miss the better pictures and slimmer design.
