Samsung SGH T429 Cell Phone User Reviews

Cons: This is my second D307, and I've had the same problems with both...the keyboard gains sensitivity over time, so in landscape mode, the phone does things you don't prompt it to. While landscape mode offers lot of features, it is lacking the one I hoped the most for when I purchased the phone...the ability to surf the web in landscape mode. There is no camera, and this phone doesn't offer a lot of memory. This is a BIG problem because I use the device with MediaNet (AT&T/Cingular web browsing serv

Summary: While the Samsung SGH D307 is aesthetically attractive, it just doesn't feel as practical as my former device (a Blackberry). If all you need is a "cool" looking or "cute" phone, this one might be perfect in its unique dual-flip design. If you need convenient web browsing, the ability to use a QWERTY keyboard at ALL times, a camera or lots of media memory, RUN THE OTHER WAY!

Cons: The battery would not hold a charge shortly after a year and, of course, was out of warranty and I had to buy a new phone.

Summary: I was very please with the phone until the battery would not hold a charge. I purchased a new battery and that was not the problem so it has to do with the charger port. I would not recommend this phone as I expect to use a phone longer than a year when you pay that much money for it.

Cons: Unless you buy a case, screen will be easily scratched/damaged. Sound volume on the low side. Battery life stinks.

Summary: The main selling point of the Samsung T629 is its style. Very few phones on the market right now can compare to this look. It IS a head-turner. In the end though, people will keep a phone for performance and I'm not sure if the Samsung 629 will win many longtime fans. I had T-Mobile send two units one after another, but they still ended up with the similar problem of low sound volume, even with the level turned all the way up. My old trusty Motorola V557 blew this Samsung unit out of the water when compared for sound volume and reception. When the Samsung is locked onto a good signal, clarity can be stunning, but the T-Mobile coverage sometimes leaves a lot to be desired. Dropped calls also seem to have increased since I switched from Cingular/AT&T. You know those ads from AT&T touting "More Bars In More Places"? It's TRUE! In the end, I am still returning both Samsung 629's because of low sound volume. I also prefer a flip design even though I was intrigued by the slider design. The flip design will prove to be practical in the long run by protecting the screen from scratches. Battery life is also a shortfall here. Even with moderate use (1 to 1.5 hours a day), you will find yourself reaching for the charger at least once every 2 days. If you're not a fan of charging cells on a daily basis (and I definitely am NOT), I suggest you stay away from this phone. If you start using this for text msg / mp3 / camera / video, you will definitely be reaching for the charger on a daily basis. The T-Mobile rep admitted the Samsung's big screen sucks up a lot of battery life. I am going back to a Motorola (but NOT a Razr!) where I had better overall experience.

Cons: Yikes. Take care of that screen folks. It's fragile. The outer part that you can touch is just a protective cover to a quite frail LCD, and it's not invincible. While that protective cover won't likely break under normal usage, the fragile screen underneath it breaks easily and can leave you being able to see little to nothing of your display. I pay and extra $5 a month for my carrier's warranty where they replace it no-questions-asked.

The battery is also weak at first, but I've not

Summary: I'd say that this is one of the best sliders out there. My friends with other sliders like how mine is built more. Just DO NOT leave it in your pocket when you're lounging around. My screen got damaged while sitting on a couch and shifting around a couple times. I did manage to make it about 5 months without damaging it though.

Just treat it like you would the screen of a laptop and you've got nothing to worry about; it's just up to you to decide if you want to carry that equivelant fragility around in your pocket/purse.
If you put a too much weight on it, you're shopping again.

Cons: This phone breaks easily. It also does not receive different types of ring tones.

Summary: This was the best phone of which I thought I had ever had untill last Friday, October 5, 2007. On Friday I received a message and when I went to open my phone to see the message the screen was all messed up. I knew that I had been taking fairly good care of the phone but for some odd reason the screen was all black and white and the screen appeared to be cracked but when I felt the screen it was not cracked at all. Even though I could still answer the phone when somebody called, I myself could not place a call or even see anything on the screen. Overall this is a nice phone if I only knew what happend to the screen and why I can not place any calls.

Cons: The only thing to watch for is the amount of memory taken. People say you can only hold like 20-30 photos, but if you save/download things wisely, and delete text and previous call inboxes ocasionally, you can hold well over 50 (I have ^^).

Summary: All I'm saying is that it's a great little phone with much strength. It's highly recommended by me! It's also very simple and attractive.

Cons: will not play all ring tones

Summary: in general it works well and is easy. sound and picture are good and it gets reception almost every place I go. I really like it and I would recomend it to a friend.

Cons: None!

Summary: Great phone. I have hated Samsung phones. But I am very pleased with this one.

Cons: my screen cracked and they dont cover it on the warnety the battery life was not like I expected short and some what unexpected adn the price tag when I first got it was a little steap

Summary: really great mp3 and best bluetooth on a phone I have ever had but the batery life was a little unexpeted and was easy to pick up from the get go adn the price was not the atrative etiher

Cons: Battery life compared to previous Samsung is not as good, but has more features to drain the battery. Non-customizable shortcuts.

Summary: I have always been a big fan of Samsung because of the quality and durability. This phone is yet another great Samsung phone packed full of features and I got it free from my carrier.

Cons: Non-standard headphone jack. Also, the covers over all the plugs are held to the phone by a very thin piece of plastic or rubber - I'll be surprised if they go long without breaking.

Summary: I've only had this phone for a couple days, but so far I really like it!

Cons: The reception was less than desired - I would routinely not be able to get service, despite the fact that my wife could using the SAME service in the SAME location. No Bluetooth. The speakerphone - at max volume - was often hard to hear.

Summary: This hip little phone will probably go over well with the kids and teens, but older folks might not like all the bells and whistles that it comes with. The sliding mechanism worked very well and was a nice departure from the flip, but I found the phone to be a little TOO small for my liking.

Cons: Clarity isn't all that great. But I suppose lack of antenna doesn't help either.

Summary: I wanted something basic and simple. I wanted a phone that had a speaker and ring tones with some VOLUME since I am hearing impaired. I was surprised at the features packed into a stylish phone.

Cons: The only thing missing in this phone is a camera and the ability to view web pages via the landscape mode.

Summary: I have the unlocked version but ended up using Cingular anyways. This phone has a lot of features and at first it seams complicated but once you start using the phone for a week i ended loving the QWERTY keypad. What realy attracted me to the phone was the dual hinge technology. It's awsome and i'm glad that Samsung improved the SGH-D307 with the SCH-U740. Can't wait for the unlocked version, cause i don't like Verizon.

Cons: The internal wiring breaks ALOT! I am on my 3rd one due to internal wiring issues. Once you start sending a text you cant cancel it, some features have delay to them, some features feel cheap (like battery and SD card covers) battery slot can be hard to put the charger in, battery is ok but not the greatest.

Summary: I really like this phone, and just because of the great features i was willing to buy replacements but im on my last thread with the wiring crap. I really like it and all but its getting old. THe screen turns blank.
