Battery Problems

Overall Rating:
2.2 out of 5
By: William Kramer on Tuesday, June 17, 2008
From: Kailua, HI (United States)
Experience: 60 Days
Cons: We bought two SGH-A437 phones. After several weeks of full and proper charging, one had a talk time of about 45 minutes, the other about 90. While the batteries are under warranty, Sam Sung requires that I return the bad batteries before they will send new ones, a 7 day turn around. Meanwhile, I'm phoneless. Poor customer service with this policy!

Summary: Proper customer service would be provided if Sam Sung sent the new battery with the expectation that I would return the disfunctional battery on receipt.

A truly awful cell phone

From: Falls Church, VA (United States)
Experience: 3 Months
Pros: Thin, light. Descent camera. Attractive style.

Cons: Poor reception and transmission. Difficult to select the right buttons.

Summary: Feels like it is going to break in two because it's so thin. Not user friendly. Went back to my old phone, I hated this one so much! I'll never buy another Samsung product again!

Great Phone!

Experience: 3 Years
Pros: big buttons,durable

Cons: key pad lock

Summary: I've had this Samsung for about 2 1/2 years now. This phone is very good for texting,taking pictures, and video. I have dropped this phone many times on concrete and even gotton it wet a few but it is still working perfectly. The key pad lock button is on the side which means if you turn the key lock on, and put it in your pocket, it unlocks the key pad by itself. Using the side buttons it can: go to your recent calls, call someone on that list, and put it on speaker phone. This has happened to me many times while the phone is in my pocket. Overall, this is a good phone.

From: union city , NJ (United States)
Experience: 1 Years
Pros: great phone for me

Cons: it does freeze up

Summary: I do agree it does freeze up but all u have to do is take out the battery wait 5 seconds and install back. It goes back to normal. That is the only complain i have and Yes you need a case for it because the screen does get scratched up. Just be good to your phone charge when not in use and it will be fine. My battery life is great it is always charge. With every cell phone you must go charge it when you get home even though it states otherwise. Be good to your phone.

Re: Samsung SGH D 307

Thank you for the info.

Re: Samsung SGH D 307

As long as the phone is unlocked you should be set to go, the phone operates on the 850/1900 frequencies that American GSM networks love so much, just pop in the sim card and you should be ready to

I agree the phone has an awfull design and offers little in the way of features. 1.3 megapixel cameras are almost below average for a new phone coming to market. It just seems like it having
