Review from phoneArena.com

for the price its a very good buy, its nice and slim, only thing i dont really like is the antenna sticking out on top but thats not really so bad.

The outside screen isent in color, not something thats horrible but i have been used to looking at my screen and seeing one of my friends faces looking out and this your gonna have to actually look to see the name. the inside screen is pretty big. its nice and crisp.

the picture quality is not so bad but it would of been better if it was a 1.3+ mp camera instead of a vga, such is life at the entry level phones, but really not bad if ur just keeping them on your phone.

Sound quality is good i cant complain, speaker phone might little low for some situations but i guess most times it will be fine.i like how you can get rid of seeing the Cingular/ Time/Date on the screens so you can just see the picture and nothing blocking it. Also if u make a picture your background you can set it so you dont get those bars across the top and bottom like on some other phone.

So overall i think this phone is a very good buy and will recomend it to people.

Review from Phone Scoop

I have loved samsung for a while now. I have found Samsung to be a quality company that has yet to let me down. I work for a cell phone company and have grown accostomed(sp?) to phones that feature all the bells and whistles like my sony ericsson w600i. I picked up this phone and have to say that yes, although it is just a basic phone, it does everything you need it to do. Its small and light and when im going out and dont need an mp3 player or for that matter a brick in my pocket, this phone has held up well. I recomend it to anyone.
