CONS
the qwerty keyboard is kinda smashed in there
battery life sucks

SUMMARY
the blast is a good first phone to have if you like texting and like slider phones then get this phone, the keypad does take awhile to get used to i know it took me like a month to get used to it, and the battery drains quick if your texting alot . Overall i like this phone im still currently using it ]]>http://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/samsung-blast-sgh-t729.aspx?utm_source=Rss&utm_medium=CellPhone_samsung-blast-sgh-t729&utm_campaign=PhoneDog3/14/2009 4:54:11 PMhttp://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/samsung-blast-sgh-t729.aspx#comments?utm_source=Rss&utm_medium=CellPhone_samsung-blast-sgh-t729&utm_campaign=PhoneDog7/25/2008 3:28:07 PMPROSI 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.]]>http://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/samsung-blast-sgh-t729.aspx?utm_source=Rss&utm_medium=CellPhone_samsung-blast-sgh-t729&utm_campaign=PhoneDog6/17/2008 12:35:47 PMPROSThe 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.]]>http://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/samsung-blast-sgh-t729.aspx?utm_source=Rss&utm_medium=CellPhone_samsung-blast-sgh-t729&utm_campaign=PhoneDog4/4/2008 11:33:09 PMPROSCost(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.]]>http://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/samsung-blast-sgh-t729.aspx?utm_source=Rss&utm_medium=CellPhone_samsung-blast-sgh-t729&utm_campaign=PhoneDog1/3/2008 10:33:23 PMPROS1

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]]>http://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/samsung-blast-sgh-t729.aspx?utm_source=Rss&utm_medium=CellPhone_samsung-blast-sgh-t729&utm_campaign=PhoneDog11/13/2007 5:43:51 AMSamsung Blast is now available from Let's Talk for $99.99 when purchased with a new T-Mobile calling plan.  Valued at $249.99 purchase the Blast for only $99.99 after a $100 instant rebate and $50 mail-in-rebate.*

The Samsung Blast is a great new slider with a 1.3 megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, and voice activated dialing.  An enhanced built-in QWERTY keypad makes sending text messages an easy experience.  Take advantage of this great special offer from Let's Talk today by picking the Samsung Blast with T-Mobile.      

*Let's Talk specials change daily so be sure to stay on top of their latest offerings!

The handset also features MyFaves support, a 1.3 MP camera, a media player with Stereo Bluetooth support and MicroSD expansion, and quad-band GSM/EDGE connectivity.  Blast is available now from T-Mobile for $100 with a two-year service agreement.

Samsung's been pushing the envelope with US handsets over the past year or so, and the messaging-centric Blast reminds me somewhat of the Verizon-exclusive u740 dual-flip handset that came out earlier this year in that it's designed for text entry but not at all a smartphone.  Blast also fits in with T-Mobile's recent focus on messaging and personalization services like MyFaves, which appeal both to SMS-hungry teens and their value seeking parents. 

Look for a review of Blast on PhoneDog.com in the coming weeks.
