I really enjoyed this phone at first, but problems began quickly and continue. The reception is terrible, the headset gives a muffled sound, extremely difficult to understand the person to whom I am speaking, and now it will not ring at all. Also, I took the phone to a service center, and they could not fix it. Samsung is normally a good product, but this phone misses the mark in so many ways, I would not recommend at all. It is more trouble than the money you initially save, is not worth it.

I have had this phone for two years. I have not been happy with it since day one. My wife has the same phone, same age. She constantly drops calls, and has no service. Her battery shows fully charged, but then shows one bar when unplugged. We have not been impressed with anything on this phone other than the fact that it has never left us without a way to contact someone. The phone has a tendency to shut off all on its own. Texting seems to be okay, but there is a problem with not sending a message when the phone is "out of range" even when it shows full signal. We are upgrading to the Centro by Palm. Maybe it will make us happy.

I have had to replace this phone thrice since i got it it breaks easily and now for whatever reason the voicemail feature is not working. Complete waste of money not to mention i had to pay for the phone 2 times when i replaced it so i am now looking to replace it but i am scared coz it seems alot of sprint phones have issues. I had one before this that i also had to replace every 6 months so i wish sprint would step ut their game and give customers what they pay for. If anyone knows of a gret phone that is decently priced with a good enough camera and texting services please let me know.
