Samsung t219 Brown Phone (T-Mobile, Phone Only, No Service) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a very lightweight phone. It is small. The color user interface is really nice. I like the '5-Faves' thing. It is a circle of big dots on the screen that you can rotate around by clicking it, which are your 5 friends that you call the most. Nice feature, because you don't have to scroll through your phone book. I think T-Mobile markets more to the youth market, and I think they will like this feature a lot. I like the user-friendliness of this phone with T-Mobile. The best thing to me is that this is a GSM tri-band phone, so I can use it when on business trips to Germany. I was impressed by both this phone, and T-Mobile. The phone has some nice features, like calendar, and even a tip-calculator, which I think is a great feature. You type in the check amount and it automatically calculates the 15 % tip. Nice touch. It seems so far to have decent battery life. There is a voice notes thing, but I haven't figured out exactly how to use it. Overall, this is a very nice phone, with just enough "bells and whistles".

Samsung SGH A727 - Cellular phone - GSM - bar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just a forewarning (this is a long, unedited review):
I am not a huge follower of phones, but I have been with the new 'at&t' [formerly 'Cingular'/'Pacific Bell Wireless' before the name change] almost since the beginning of the wireless service for the average consumer. I feel I have a good understanding of the provider's network, including its reception limitations and highlights.
I have been using many 'freebie' phones -- the Nokia 6190, 3360, and 6010... and various other free phones in between, which just so happen to mainly be Nokias -- so my observation of the Samsung A727 will be based on that incredible leap from those phones to this little slim-line device.Design:
The design is very attractive; though normally, I do not pay much attention to those details as much as I focus on what I require in a phone. However, you can tell the phone was built well (seems more streamlined and mesh rather than the older phones that allow you to switch covers to `customize') compared to what you could get for the same amount of money a few years back. It is obviously based on the trend of `razor' thin phones which could/could not be a good thing... so it means less external customization [which is fine by me].
The major thing to get used to is how thin this phone is - and I personally do not understand why anyone would want thinner (or why some reviewers envision this for the cell phone future). It feels like (if given the casing material didn't feel reinforced) it is thin enough to break if you put it in your back pocket... which I still think is possible, so I put it in my front ones. The A727's cousins (the `distant cousin' A707 and the `almost family' A717) defeat this problem by offering the same [or similar] technology as a flip phone.
I mentioned a little earlier than the phone's casing/shell feels like reinforced rubberized-grip plastic... or some sort of polymer that everyone (incl. the manufacturer) fails to mention. Whatever it is, the material seems more durable (by density and weight) than what you usually get on a phone if it's not aluminum-based -- but I won't know for sure until I drop it someday. I am almost certain the casing is mostly some form of plastic, since the battery lid is definitely plastic, and feels like the rest of the case; however I will update as soon as Samsung gets back to me about what it's made of [paragraph cut short until I get an update].
The TFT screen -- visible in daylight, which I can say some Motorola phones don't do -- is large, bright and crisp. However, you pay for it with smaller, streamlined buttons below it. Yes, as many other reviewers pointed out, these buttons have no grip to begin with - coupled with being very close together makes it hard to text or to dial a number correctly without having a mistake (and having to erase). It may take some getting used to, but there are more buttons on the front of this phone than I have ever seen on my `freebies'. Also, due to the phone's thinness and center of gravity, it may be hard to text with one hand until you learn to balance it in your fingers (hard to explain, but you'll understand if you try it out in stores). The buttons are definitely not friendly if you have fingernails at all... or even blind (no features to tell the buttons apart)... but maybe that's just my opinion.
Overall, the design of the phone is nice and pleasing, but it does require some getting used to. I can imagine that some people have already gotten over these hurdles if they have had other `razor' thin phones -- it is definitely a new thing to use a small `candy bar' design this thin though, so be prepared.Reception:
Well, the reception of this phone is mixed. However, I think this is due to how the phone works and how the new at&t wireless service works. I have not noticed it before, but this phone makes bad reception calls more evident (by artificially boosting the voice), but keeps the good reception calls clear. You will notice that there will be times that this phone switches from E (meaning a digital signal) to 3G (which I am sure is the high-speed, possibly satellite-based signal) and vice versa. Think of 3G to be a roaming feature (without the extra charges... I think) when it comes to calls... I found that talking in `E' mode meant I had usually good call quality and little to no time saying `huh?' or `what?' However, when the phone switched to `3G mode' signal, the voices became distorted and artificial... or even blurry.
The caveat to the above experience is that on `3G mode', I would have 2-3 bars of signal... and on `E mode', it usually meant I had full signal. If you go into the basement of some building or parking lot, you will most likely be in `3G mode.'
I am happen when my phone is in `E mode,' but somewhat displeased with `3G mode' -- I do not know what the cause of this is... but I feel it happens with other at&t phones, just that the older phones don't tell you what kind of signal you're using... so it could be more service than the phone itself. Please comment if you have witnessed this. However, the phone is very crisp when the reception is high, but artificial and blurry when the reception is low (if you live in an area that has good reception all around, then it will probably be excellent).
Side note: I find that I can text in places that normally would be considered `no signal' zones. Very handy for situations -- should try driving up to some remote places and seeing how well the signal holds.
I am pleased with the phone's reception as I live in the heart of the Bay Area. However, I do notice my calls to Sprint-based cell phones are less clear compared to my calls to Cingular/at&t, Verizon, and local lines.Features:
The phone comes with a 1.3 megapixel camera, which I suppose is cool, but unnecessary - good for emergency shots at high quality though (like a car accident or something you want to catch). Very easy and intuitive to use (the button on the right side of the phone is the camera button - just press and hold, then click for each shot). The quality of the pictures taken is quite high, so make sure you don't jitter too much if you want a good shot (the resolution of photos seem to be 1280 x 1024).
The MP3 player is unnecessary in my opinion -- and it seems to require special / separate headphones to make the sound quality higher (no full range... missing bass, some low tones, no mids, but retains the high notes). I guess it is nice to have an all-in-one phone, but I will continue to keep my MP3 player separate in case I run the cell phone battery out when I need it.
What I do like is the ability for microSD file transfer -- no need for a data cable when these little memory cards are so cheap and versatile unless you're looking to unlock or something. If you want a new ringtone, picture background, video, or game, you can download it and put it on the microSD and transfer to the phone - very handy feature... especially when these little memory cards are getting a) cheaper and b) larger.
The battery life is poor with the standard battery it comes with. I found 3.5 hours tops of talking time and probably 3 to 5 days of standby - less of each if you do massive amounts of texting. This probably can be alleviated by turning down the TFT screen lighting, but it turns down pretty instantly (2-3 seconds) if idle.
There aren't enough customization options in the phone's operating system. While you can change the format to mimic, say, a Nokia's menu... you only get to assign 4 buttons to certain pre-determined tasks (like opening up a blank text message). Though this is handy, I'd like to be able to customize all the buttons that are unnecessary to the phone (like the music button) to, say, profile selection... just in case I want to change ring profiles quickly during a meeting (which doesn't seem possible at the moment).
3G speed Internet... well... I haven't used it yet, but I'm sure it's nice (I've seen it with other phones). Probably difficult to use until you get the text-typing down.
Final note: there is no large amount lag in the operating system when switching menus or using memory intensive features (as with older phones of its kind). I like this because I remember older phones having such a lag that made it useless to make calls with.Conclusion:
In the end, the phone is nice looking, decent in features, and performs better than other phones in terms of reception and call quality-- but of course, you can always find a few faults in each category. However, the major things I look for in a phone is good reception and a phone design that fits in my hand comfortably as I do whatever tasks I need to do. All the other features are `nifty,' but unnecessary to me, so my star rating is based on those qualities.
I believe the quality of calls is very good compared with it's relatively lower SAR rating (radiation) of 1.05W/kg [head] compared to older generation phones and the first generation of slim phones which had close to the legal max (1.6W/kg in the U.S. and 2.0W/kg in the EU).
Here's a recap:
Pros:
-call quality is great for times of good signal
-screen is large, and still visible in daylight
-plastic casing feels reinforced / sturdy
-slim line fits easily in tight pockets
-operating system is intuitive
-`E mode' versus `3G mode' signal indicator is a plus
-little or no lag in the operating system
Cons:
-buttons are too close together / no grip / no strong physical features for `blind dialing'
-features are nice, but most are...Read more›

Samsung SGH-T639 Unlocked GSM Cell Phone with 1+ MP camera with video capture, MP3 player, Bluetooth, external memory card slot - Red Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered this phone which was advertised as new. I received an obviously not new phone in a non-Samsung box with a misspelled word on the box. The phone, battery (not a Samsung battery) and cord were each loose and rattling around in the box. The phone box was loose in a larger box with no shipping cushioning at all. I returned it and did get my money back.
Needless to say, I do not recommend the OEM Shop and feel that Amazon should remove them as a supplier.

Nokia 5300 XpressMusic Unlocked Phone with Camera, Bluetooth, MicroSD, MP3 Player (White/Purple) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is not the latest XpressMusic. But it still looks fine and is not too late. You ought to buy this with a 2GB MicroSD to use it as a really mp3 player. The slider works like a charm. I don't feel like it can break someday.
It is kind of difficult to remove the battery cap and also to remove the sim card. I hope it's going to loose a little bit after a while!
The phone give enough talk time, music time. Of course it's a Nokia!
For some reason, the battery started to worn out very quickly. Mistakes happen but not all this serie have this unusual problem.
It's not the best phone but it sticks with the budget with the essential feature!

Samsung M510 Black Phone (Sprint) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The M510 has all the features I was looking for, and nothing to get in the way of basic phone usability. I don't like the usual tiny keyboards, so this one is a treat -- remarkably easy for larger fingers to use, with positive tactile feedback (click). The screen is easy to read, sharp and colorful, and the various screens are straightforward to navigate (although, as with most phones, I'd like to remove some of the screen items I'll never use).
The sound quality is good, and I find it comfortable to hold while talking. Unlike one-piece phones, it's nice that the screen is held away from your face so you don't have to keep cleaning it. The startup sound is loud but short, so I just put my finger over the external speaker.
I've found the software to be nicely designed for usability, with number entry being faster than my previous phone. I'd like to speed up the text entry for names (not using T9), but that's partly my fault so I'll not nit-pick. Navigation around the screens is pretty simple, with either the nav arrows or Back getting you there with a few clicks. Some of the standard ringtones are dorky but that seems typical for phones.
The packaging is sleek, thin, and yet feels solid. I like the two-tone black with the band of blue (also inside) and silver -- it's a clean design. I was concerned about the more exposed hinge on other phones (such as the Razr), and know they take a lot of hits, so this one is more sensibly tucked away from the corners and should be more robust. The shape is comfortable to hold and the cover provides a bit more grip than the typical glossy finish.
The SD card and power/interface jack covers are tiny, but they do work and so far I haven't had any problems. The SD card is tiny (!) but comes with an adapter for normal SD slots, so for me that lets me offload photos directly without having to go through the phone connection. The power adapter is small (about 1/2 the size of an Altoids box) so taking both on a trip would be easy.
I've been able to turn it on during whole work day and do that for several days in a row without recharging (granted, that's with not many phone calls). The talk time does seem reasonable.
All in all, it's a slick, solid, easy-to-use phone that you can carry without noticing it but works well when you need it. Recommended.

Samsung SCH-U620 - Cellular phone - CDMA2000 1X - slider - black - Verizon Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just got this phone from Verizon on Friday (three days ago) and I am thrilled. I was upgrading from an LG6100 flip and things have sure changed in the last 2 years! I was torn between the u620 and the u740 (the phone that flips open two ways with a qwerty keyboard), but in the end I preferred the style of the slider better and found the keys much easier to use. I read every review I could find online and I found that overall people love this phone.
I don't have any plans for using the TV or music functions (I use an iPod) so I won't comment on those features at all.
Favorite Features:
*Size- Not so tiny that you can't hold it comfortably, but not big at all. Very easy to hold and type on.
*Slider- Can easily be opened with one hand. Very slick looking.
*Voice quality- Crystal clear and can be set very loud, if you like. I'm one of those people that could never hear my phonecalls, but on this phone I keep the volume set in the middle and never miss a word.
*Camera- 1.3 megapixels camera takes nice sharp photos. Has a flash too.
*Voice-to-text- Fun feature in which you can speak your text messages!
*Battery life - Very good. It's 72 hours after I first charged my phone and I'm only down one bar even though I've been playing with it a ton.
*Picture caller-id.
*Clear, sharp display.
*Solid feel. Not flimsy at all.
Overall, I am very happy with this phone. I wish it came in colors like the Verizon LG Chocolate, but instead I will settle for a cute strap (Yea! It has a strap hole!).

Samsung U740 Bluetooth Camera QWERTY Cell Phone Verizon Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Girlfriend loves this type of phone, when hers broke down I was going to buy her a replacement from eBay. Someone said I should check on amazon for the phone which I wound up doing. Phone was described as in great shape, when we received the phone one of the buttons was missing, the old owners music and messages full of profanity and some pictures were still on the phone. The seller I guess took offense to my rating and called my girlfriend up wanting to know why I rated the experience the way I did and she told him. I don't want a new phone or anything like that just please as a seller double check the items you are shipping out to your customers and make sure they are what you say.

Nokia Mirage 2605 Phone, Dark Gray (Verizon Wireless) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My first Amazon review. Let me say this. I've owned a couple of Blackberrys in the past, and although I enjoyed them I am a mac user which means I could never fully enjoy all the features like the music player.
When the Iphone came along I bought it as soon as I could (Leaving Tmoble to do so), and I loved it. Still do actually. I don't understand how many people say things like "the iphone sucks". Really? What does it take to please some people? Some flaws, sure, but finally there was a phone that not only was designed FOR mac users, but also raised the bar for all the other companies. Many of the coolest features on other phones are a response to the iphone.
With ATT my phone bills went up on average 40%, and the customer care was horrible. They suffered a bit from the "you're on contract so what you gonna do" syndrome. That coupled with the fact that as a Mac User there weren't a ton of smart phone options, so I was stuck.
Then I found the Curve 8900!
With all the New Blackberry's there is finally some real competition, which is a good thing for Mac users. It finally seems like other companies realized that MAC people are some of the largest and most loyal consumers of electronics, and it doesn't take much to make us feel included.I couldn't use the CD that came with the phone on my computer, but I just hopped on the web and did some downloads and now I can use all the features on my Macbook, including itunes syncing and photos. Which is great because the camera is awesome.The only thing is you need the newest OS on your mac to use the software from the website, but if you don't have that you can also download Pocketmac, which works pretty well.
I find the browser works great, and if you don't like it you can download another if you want. Opera mini is pretty good too. I just like being able to choose for myself, which is something I couldn't do on the Iphone. The Iphone is still probably the best web surfing phone on the market in my opinion, but the Curve is still great! I mean there comes a point when you may as well just crack the Laptop if you are going to do hardcore surfing. That being said, I still go to all the same websites and it is just as fast as my iphone was. The smaller screen means WAY better battery life. I still charge it every day, but this phone has made it two days on pretty heavy use, and you can actually change the battery if you needed to which is a real plus.
Expandable memory is a huge plus! I've got 16 Gb in mine now.
Blackberry just launched there own App store, that is much like the one found on the iphone, so now I have all the same things I had before on my iphone like Pandora, and Shazam.
Going back to Tmobile was an easy choice too. My wife is with them, and the customer care has been great. And the plan they have me and my wife on is cheep! I actually unlocked my iphone and gave it to her and now she is running it on Tmobile much cheaper, and because I had the 2g Iphone I actually think the data is faster on Tmobile. Also the Curve switches to make calls over WiFi (on certain plans) saving you minutes. That feature is so seamless you wont notice the switch.
Yeah, yeah. Some people say things like, 3g is a must for me. But let me say this. Lots of people are whiners who don't know what they are talking about. The Curve has a fast processor, and great WiFi capability, and it is super fast. Call quality is great.
It's also less fragile then the iphone. Touch screens are glass and I actually smashed my first iphone by dropping it from two feet. YIKES!
The Curve also feels more professional to me. I can do Word documents on it, and although I can still play games and surf the web, I do less of the time wasting I did on the Iphone. You know what I mean? The usless surfing like "Hey, whats the tempurature in Australia?
All up I am very happy with the switch. If I had to pick a con, I'd say that the locking on the phone is a bit of a pain. It can become unlocked in your pocket, but that was solved by putting a password on my phone.I just hate picking cons because these phones are so great now a days!
I also loved the Iphone, but the price and AT&T was getting to me! A little competition keeps them all working harder to for us the consumer.

Samsung SGH-D900 Unlocked Cell Phone with 3.2 MP Camera, Media Player, MicroSD Slot--International Version with No Warranty Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)CONS:
This phone seems to be suited to lefties. The charger plugs into the lower right-hand side of the phone which makes it really difficult for righties (like myself) to type text messages with one hand while its charging. The space key is also at the lower right hand corner (the # key) which tends to put your thumb in an awkward position. I've been using Nokia and Ericsson phones for years so I'm not used to having to jerk my thumb all the way back to press the # key to type a space so when I'm tying long messages, my thumb sometimes cramps. I bought this phone cause my best friend has the earlier model and really likes it. She's a lefty!
Another complaint I have is that it takes so much steps to send a text message. Unlike Nokia where you just select options, send, and select a contact from your address book, this one has 4 more steps. You have to select the address book, type in the 1st letter of the name, check it, select, then it'll ask you AGAIN if you want to send it. Sure it only takes 2 seconds longer, but its quite a bother when you're in a hurry.
Another thing is that after it sends the message, it reverts back to the standby screen, so if you want to delete the message you just replied to, you have to go back into menu, messages, select it, and then delete. Again, it only takes a fraction of a second but its still a bother.
This phone also doen't have timed profiles, or profiles at all for that matter. If you've never had a Nokia or another phone that has profiles then you won't miss it, but as someone who was very much dependent on timed profiles, its quite an adjustment not having it. And on that note, you can use an MP3 file as your ringtone but when it comes to message alert tones, you're limited to the ones that come with the phone which is a real bummer!
PROS:
The 3.13 Megapixel camera is pretty good for something so slim & small.
The Bluetooth file transfer is quite fast even when transferring relatively large files. This is a blessing since I have to rely on bluetooth to transfer stuff to and from my laptop because the PC Suite that comes with it (obviously) isn't compatible to Macs - which is another CON, actually...
I love the World Clock.
I love the fact that you can save up to 3 Alarms. I have one for weekdays when i have to get up early, one for weekends when I can sleep in a little later, and I still have one for other occasions when i have to set an alarm for something or another without messing with the other 2.
The Converter (currency, measurement, temperature, etc) is pretty handy though it isn't exactly the easiest thing to use. I still use it quite often. It beats having to manually compute everything.
My Mom also like the fact that the screen is really big and you have the option to make the font of text messages HUGE so that she can still read messages even when her reading glasses are missing.
All in all, I'd say its an 'okay' phone. Its definitely not as user friendly as Nokia or Ericsson, but the camera is pretty good and my complaints are all relatively minor and easy to work around or get over so if you're used to Samsung phones, go for it! You won't have to adjust that much. If you're a Nokia user, then just make sure you're ready to live life without times profiles and personalized sms alert tones.
I hope this helps!

Samsung T219 (Red) Unlocked GSM Cell Phone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I really enjoyed this phone's sharp appearance and simple to use features. No frills, no extra features that you won't use. Just the right stuff for the person who wants a phone to make calls and store all their contact information without the hassles and fees from having a contract. Furthermore, this can be a great phone for emergency use or as a backup! I've enjoyed using this phone and highly recommend purchasing it.

Sony Ericsson R800IEUBLK Xperia Play R800i Unlocked Phone and Gaming Device with Slide-Out Gamepad and Android OS - Unlocked Phone - No Warranty - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently got the Xperia Play. The phone itself is great, clear pictures, nice signal, operating system is quite stable.
As you may imagine be careful about battery life and get used to carry with you a portable battery charger.
If we think about it, the whole idea of this phone may be for people who travel a lot or have to wait a lot. I parked my car in front of my girlfriend house, while I wait I take out my phone and play for a little while (1 hour).
Send a couple of text messages, get some phone calls and charge your phone. The Xperia play itself is great, just I wish battery was better. Instead carrying my cellphone and my PSP. Now I need to carry my phone and a portable charger.
