PROSgreat phone for me
CONS
it does freeze up
SUMMARY
I do agree it does freeze up but all u have to do is take out the battery wait 5 seconds and install back. It goes back to normal. That is the only complain i have and Yes you need a case for it because the screen does get scratched up. Just be good to your phone charge when not in use and it will be fine. My battery life is great it is always charge. With every cell phone you must go charge it when you get home even though it states otherwise. Be good to your phone.

USER REVIEW: Samsung SGH T629 STINKS!

PROSNice slider, large screen
CONS
phone FREEZES, low battery life
SUMMARY
Got my T629 three months ago and it started freezing while dialing a number. T-Mobile replaced it twice in two months and then refused to help. Told me to contact Samsung. I have contacted Samsung for help. Let's see what happens.

Any one else has seen this problem with T629 or OTHER phones?

USER REVIEW: Nice Looking Phone, Solid Build, But Could Perform Better. Battery Life Stinks

PROSStyle, Style, and Style! Unique design that you will either love or hate (most will probably fall into the former). Solid build quality.
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.

USER REVIEW: So far so good...

PROSBeautiful screen, very small / light weight, cool looking, good sound quality
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!

USER REVIEW: Its a Love/Hate Relationship type of phone...

PROSGreat image and video quality, awesome Mini SD card slot, great reception, awesome text/picture messaging features, sleek design, awesome graphics
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.
