The only normal (in sound quality)Samsung Phonr ever created. People needed something like this phone to be a little thicker, larger and with a bluetooth, but instead Samsung as always made the dummest decision
(Discontinued).

R220 PROS:
- MONOCHROME SCREEN MADE BY SAMSUNG
is the best of all monochromes!
-Blue illumination is brain relaxing and not irritating like stupid color screeen!
-The best sound quality (superb een to Nokia phones of that time)
-Good design (though needs to be more larger male looking, that was the reason why not many men bought that phone)

SAMSUNG:
When will you grow up?

Hi, i have this phone for almost 5 years, they call it Samsung 514 here in Israel. Till now i had to replace the microphone, clean something in the sim place, and replace the battary, now with the new battary it still doesn't last as it used to, but not to bad. it really is a good phone, but what do you all mean by why didn't they continue it, how do you know if a phone is a continuance of another, are you talking about the design? cause if not there are better newer phones like the one i would like to have, x820.

Why? Why? Why? Why?

Why would Samsung discontinue the only normal phone it ever made? Instead of improving this normal model by adding a bluetooth, increasing the battery life and maiking the ringer louder they just discontinue the model!

Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
Stupid decision-Samsung Electronics!
It just shows one more time why Samsung must get out of the marker for good!

This is the first and only phone i have used so far, 5 years with an addidtional battery... works perfectly. I love the blue background, vibration for first three rings, and the quick switch before meetings for vibration only... will use it as long as it can work :-)

This is the first phone i'm using.Though it's not comparatively stylish and slim, i enjoy its use.

My major problem is the inability to use the WAP service on this phone.I've tried several times to configure it but to no avail, please help me out. I live in Ghana and this is my phone number +233275031593.

Samsung r220=Nokia 3310!!!!
The kings of all cell phones. The only thing is it's too slim, thus doesn't ring loud enough (but I put on vibration anyway).

OTHER THAN THAT:
-The best sound quality
-Durable
-The best monochrome screen resolution (128x64!!!)

AGAIN:
Why din't Samsung update this phone to be thicker (means better better for Bluetooth) and Bluetooth? Why discontinued the best phone?????

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I know that most people want to use the one phone they love forever. I feel the same way about this series of Samsung phones. But, really.....if you have had three good years of service from this phone, I say you were blessed. Please buy another one.

I used this phone for a year, and passed it on. I loved it, but was looking for a color phone. That was the only reason I gave it up.
