Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this Samsung t219 as a replacement phone for my existing T-mobile plan. For $70.00, this phone has everything I could ask for. I use my phone for making and receiving calls, plus the occasional text message (I really like the predictive text function!). The calculator, organizer, are nice little accouterments as well. One important aspect of this phone is that it is tri-band, which makes traveling a breeze with a great signal to boot.
I thought I would despise the red color, but in fact I like that I can always find it, especially considering its diminutive size.
I do have two qualms with this phone: As a former Nokia loyalist, the lightweight, slim design of this phone takes some getting used to. I feel that the "breakability" factor of this phone (for me) is high. My friends, however, love that it is so small (pocket-sized) and light.
The other is that it does not come with an ordinary ringtone. I had to download a standard "ring ring" from t-mobile.com for $2 and even that sounds, well, odd.
A few other notes - the black faceplate smudges with fingerprints, but the red die-cast material doesn't appear to get banged up/scratched too easily. The menu is very basic and easy to use. The battery life is fairly long (pretty standard these days) but takes longer to charge than my old Nokia. Sometimes I find it hard to read the small print on the external caller ID. So far, reception has been great, and the speakerphone is nice and strong.
I think that this phone has a lot of bang for its buck - high functionality, no bling (camera, mp3, bluetooth? whatever), which is just right for me.
