if you want it after all the "horror stories" posted on this sight, then go ahead. But I would suggest another phone. If u r using MetroPCS, try upgrading to a touch-screen for $30 more. If ur using something else, then it's good. MP3 is good while it lasts and camera is nice is good light.

I've asked for this phone for my birthday which is within 5 days. Should I get it? I don't have much use for the mp3 but I would use the camera and the keyboard for sure. Any comments? "Lucy"

I haven't had the Samsung Messager for too long but I love it. The scroll speed for web browsing needs to be improved but other than it's better than my last phone, way better.

I hate this phone!!
Main reasons:

1. While writing SMS, you have to put the your contact nb 1st, so, when you pressing OK after you have write the text message, that send it immediately, that would be cool if the key "BACKSPACE" wouldn't be right on top of "OK". Than made me send so many incomplete text messages..
PLUS, it's a nightmare to jump on another new line.

2. You have to have the slide open to be "on the web", if you close it even by one millimeter, it automatically disconnect you!

3. You contacts has to be search by the fist letter of the first name that called them, otherwise, it doesn't work. Oh, you can't transfer then to another phone too..

4.and so many more.. I REALLY HATE THIS PHONE, shame that I can't use my N95 8GB with metro pcs!

I HAVE A SAMSUNG R 450. I AM 40 YEARS YOUNG. I LOVE IT I HAVE UPLOADED SONGS AND PICTURES TO MY PHONE FROM MY COMPUTER AND FROM THE PHONE TO THE COMPUTER. I WAITED FOR 5 MONTHS BEFORE I GOT MINE. I WISH I HAD PURCHASED IT FROM THE BEGINNING. I AM IN LOVE WITH MY PHONE. TAKE YOUR TIME AND READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING IT. ITS NOT AS HARD AS YOU MAY THINK.

ARTICLE: Cricket invites Chicagoans to play with gigantic phone

3/10/2009 10:50:00 AM
It seems there's another cell phone related Guinness World Record attempt about to be made. To mark the Cricket Wireless launch in the Chicagoland area, the Windy City will be seeing the world's largest, working cell phone tomorrow.

The mongo phone is a Samsung Messager measuring 11 feet x 15 feet, and if you're in Chicago on Wednesday, you're invited to check it out for yourself at 11 am in Fidelity Plaza (formerly known as Pioneer Court at 401 N. Michigan Ave). That's when it will be certified by the Guinness Book of World Records in an unveiling ceremony.

Afterwards, visitors will be able to make unlimited free calls and texts on the gigantic cell phone, participate in a speed text-messaging contest or partake in other fun stuff, like a video booth and live music performance. After the event, it will remain open to the public through March 15, so Chicagoans can still pop by to make unlimited calls and texts to anyone in the country using the giant handset.

If you live in Chicago and don't travel much, Cricket's wireless service itself actually sounds like a pretty sweet deal. There's a flat rate with no contract or credit checks required, and a really low $45 unlimited plan. That's unlimited long distance, text and picture messaging, mobile Web, directory assistance and, of course, calls — in fact, unlimited calling to anyone on any network (cellular or landline) anywhere in the United States. The catch is, you have to be calling from the home coverage area.

The company's pretty confident about its service. It claims to work in the underground Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) train lines and also offers unlimited broadband with speeds comparable to DSL in coverage areas.

If you travel, however, this may not be the best deal for you. Since Cricket's a regional carrier, calling from outside the Chicago area is considered roaming. (Remember roaming? Man, that takes me way back to my old Startac days...) While there's an upgrade that takes care of that, the company doesn't guarantee coverage in everywhere.

Cricket products and services are already available at 160 stores and dealers, online and via phone (800-922-9169), with more stores set to open over the next 30 days.

USER REVIEW: Awesome Texting Tool!

2/28/2009 12:02:38 AM
PROSfull qwerty keyboard; usb mass storage makes it easier to add and remove mp3s (on your computer); bold styling; cameras has plenty of options; mp3 player sounds great; sleek and smooth shape; tough as nails; comes with free headset!
CONS
shuts if you have too much going on; supports limited sound file types and only mp3 for the music player; plastic can get a little greasy real easily; not a smart phone (like most dummie call it); could use more themes for the user interface.
SUMMARY
i've had this phone for about for about half a year and i haven't has any major beef with it. texting is a breeze and very fun. the mp3 played does getting interupted when you get a text, and theres no background mode option whats-so-ever but thats no big deal. i've dropped it plenty of times, on tile and the street, and it hasn't caused any serious damage. battery life is mild depending if you use it a little or a lot. overall i love this phone and i'd recommend it souly for the hard core texters.
