USER REVIEW: Best so far

6/11/2007 3:09:37 AM

PROSease of use, hold's tons of music, doesn't feel flimsy, feels like qualitiy, great reliability.
CONS
discontinued already as all do. Text messaging, I do miss the itaps of motorola brand phones offer, but there are ways around that.
SUMMARY
This is the best phone I've ever had. Some bad reviews have said bad things about the music abilities of this phone. If you have a brain and can use a computer, just get a Micro SD chip, they are cheap, and throw all the songs on there you want, I load mine with tons of songs with no problem. As long as you understand this song plays wma sound files like windows media player, which is why they want you to sync your phone to windows media player. Just connect your SD card to your computer, like any external drive, and paste all the songs you want. I've had no problems with mine at all. You can listen to your music with no special adapters, with nothing like speaker phone, or with your regular earbud. Camera is decent for it being a cell phone, but remember, its a cell phone not a camera, its a phone not an mp3 player. This phone has the best overall selection of options with the reliability unlike all of the other phones I've owned!

PROSNice Camera

Auto Flash

WMA Song/Ring tone Player

Small Form Factor

No bulky external antenna

Easy to read external display

External WMA controls

Light for Taking Videos

Unlimited or MMS Video taking

Expandable Memory (Micro SD)

Unique dialing fonts (animated)

Plastic covers for all the plug ins (charger, ear piece, memory)

External Stereo Speakers for Songs, Ringers, Sounds, and Speaker Phone
CONS
Battery Life is So-So

External buttons pressed very easily, I'm always having my MP3 turning on because the button accidentally gets pressed

No "Button Lock" feature

Phone supports MP3's, but doesn't offer it.

No Vibe and Ring for Alarm

Slow Camera start up.
SUMMARY
I upgraded from my LG 7000, which was a great phone.
But even though its years old, it still seems to be better at a few things than this.

I really like the 1.3MP camera, and it has a nice flash, but no "Night Mode"

The video camera is very nice as well, you can take very large videos and save them on your computer.

I had to choose between this phone and the LG 8300, having been with LG for most of my Cell Phone usage, I actually passed them down.

From what I've read and used, the Samsung was the way to go.

Speaker phone is great quality, just don't turn it up to loud when you have it open, or the person your talking to will get to talk to themselves.

All and All this is a great phone.
And since I only paid $70 for it on a one year contract with Verizon, I can't complain.

USER REVIEW: Pretty Good

PROSGood phone capability, MP3 player, voice dialing, speakerphone and bluetooth
CONS
Comes with very small built in mempry (30 mb or so). Have to add a Micro SD to really have more than a few songs, pics, and videos. Web services expensive.
SUMMARY
Great phone for me - needed the phone features (voice dial, speakerphone, bluetooth) and like the MP3 playing capability. I dont use the v-cast, navigation, and other web stuff so dont really care.

USER REVIEW: Love This Phone!

PROSGreat looking phone ... features are easily accessible from all angles.
CONS
Does get a little warm to the face over long conversations.
SUMMARY
Love the Samsung cellphones. They have come a long way. My prior Samsung had its problems with ... falling apart ... could have been the few times I dropped it but I think they finally realized these phones need a little more durability.

USER REVIEW: Samsung did it again!

PROSSo far so good with my new a930 by Samsung. After owning many different models, I would have to say that the reception has been so much better on the a930 than any other. Other pros include the quality of the speaker phone, the battery life, camera, bluetooth, and all around shape and size.
CONS
If your a music lover stay away because this does not play mp3's. Try out the new Fusic or V3m for music!
SUMMARY
For me this new Samsung has been excellent. Lastly, I would like to report that I have traveled out of town twice since getting this new phone and had no complications. The phone rang, I answered, and the person on the other end heard me. It doesn't get any better then that! :-)
