Samsung SYNC-SGH-A707 RED Cell Phone User Reviews

Summary: A phone must first serve its primary purpose. I already have an MP3 player, Palm Tungsten, & digital camera. Even with other good features a phone that can't keep a signal is of no use. It's going back this weekend.

Cons: Signal was so bad I had to take it back. Could not use it in my work place.

Summary: Loved all of the features of this phone. A little larger so it was easy to hold. Larger font feature was wonderful. I wish the reception was better with this equipment. I was told it just might be a bad phone but, I was unwilling to try another one.

Cons: screen sometimes gets dirty, ringtones limited to 300K

Summary: A great phone, and now that it can play music int he backround as you use the phone for otehr thigns, it is the best phone i have ever had. camera is awsome, call quality is excelent, my first one had camera issues but the new one is doing quite well. popup menus take getting used to but are quite helpful.

Cons: Front Screen, text messaging

Summary: This is overall a good phone. I was going from an LG VX5300, so while this was a size increase, but it is a very durable phone. The large main screen is a good feature, but the front LCD screen is not very useful at all. The sound quality on calls is very good, however trying to text message on it is more difficult than most others. Overall, a very good phone, I would recommend.

Cons: Menu structure, almost impossible to open one handed, low battery life, should be 10 days standby, I get less than two.

Summary: I purchased these phones for my company mainly for the 3G capability, something that is not available in my office and it seems most places that we would use it. The phone is difficult to use from menu function to simply opening and closing. I'm a tech type of guy that has had flip phones since the early 1990's when they were introduced and this one is the first that I have found virtually impossible to open one handed. The Bluetooth quality is poor but that doesn't stop it from running down the battery in less than 2 days. The main problem that I have, and it is on all of the phones that we have not just one, is the icon that appears the top of the phone that no one at Cingular can explain. It is the normal phone icon that shows when a call is being made except there is a line thru it implying that a call can not be made and that is exactly the case. No calls in or out while this unexplainable icon is present. The work around is to reboot the phone, darned inconvienent when trying to make a call, and forget about receiving calls, you better hope the icon of doom is not present. I will play Cingiular's game and send them in one by one to get replacement phones until they finally let me get a different one. How can I run a business and not be able to receive calls from co-workers or customers. Samsung, are you listening!!! Fix the bugs before you sell crap!

Cons: external display is small
the phone is light but still bulky
still trying to decide about the music player...

Summary: Overall I was impressed with the new Sync. I am glad I waited out for a new 3G phone even though it will switch out of 3G signal from time to time even when it says it shouldn't. Coming from using a very basic flip phone, this one has got a lot of great features that I have been enjoying setting up. I look forward to continuing to learn what all the phone can do!
