Have the phone for 13 months -- minor annoyances until this week when the screen touch stopped working. No support from phone carrier, not much help from Samsung.
Service contracts not the way to go when phones have limited life span! Not happy and do not recommend this Samsung product (and I will likely never purchase another Samsung product in the future).

I have this phone and it glitches all the time. When I first opened it out of its box and turned it on it glitched instantly. I'm changing this phone ASAP

I got this phone a couple of months ago. Since it's my first cell phone, I don't really have any to compare it to, but there are a few basic things that I don't like about it... The battery life sucks, sometimes the phone will ring and I won't be able to answer it b/c the friggin' touch screen won't work and the sound is too low for my liking; if your'e on the bus, forget it!

Cons:
Very poor battery (I need to charge it every day. I wouldn't trust it as an emergency phone.
Low earpiece volume (even at max. setting). If you have hearing problems, forget it.
Dialpad doesn't come up when you need it during a call
Low memory (internal)
Sometimes not responsive to touch or slow
Weak vibration
Pros:
Wifi

Bottom line: ok for light use but there are better phones out there at the same price.

Once the screen is unlocked, there is a tiny little number at the very top of the screen, why is it there and how do I get rid of it? I have seen it change from 1 to 2 but don't know what it is for.

Is NOT worth buying this phone, its internal memory is terribly low. It says 180MB available but once like 60MB is installed you always get the annoying low phone storage memory notification and you can't even receive text messages! You get the notifying sound that you got a text but this junk doesnt let you receive it. I'm getting it swapped tomorrow because this model is not worth being considered a smart phone.

But this phone has really low internal storage, 150mb appx and appx 60mb are actually free. This phone also has poor OS and screen resolution. Don't get me wrong through, of course its nothing like galaxy s or iphone, but its still a good smartphone

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2012-07-23 22:13 from IBxy - click to readI bot the fone yesterday 2012.8.18. Only for texting it is good. U must not expect to use the Calendar function and try to find an appointment later because u can not search the calendar. U can scroll the entries and hope to be patient for what ur looking. Battery is only good if u use fone for texting mainly and keeping the brightness to a minimum. Brightness is decent for texting and phoning even if set to minimum brightness. However, don't expect good quality Speaker fone or Voice recording , because they sound like speaking inside a can and ur listener is getting stressed out when on speaker fone.

I sent it back to Fido for repaire and take 10 days without phone and they replace some part on this phone but still having same problem, so I set it back as manufacture default setting and couple days later doing it again, and Fido want me to bring it back to store to repair and have no phone for 10 days again.
This phone also freeze up while you are on the phone or when you try to dial extension the number pad does not pop up for dial a number.
I have one other friend also have same phone and she rarely use the phone as well and having similar problem as I have. So don't buy this phone.

Mike

Reasonably fast, I got one for my wife but am currently looking for an os update battery life is not great but an is update should help. You can get it on a plan in b.c. Without a data plan which is cheaper, overall not a bad unit.
