 Piece of Junk March 18, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have had more problems with this phone than any other. It worked great for the first few months I had it, then for no reason it just stopped working. It cannot receive calls; when people call me it doesn't ring. I remove the back cover, take the battery out, and power it back up, then I see all these voice mails and messages that it has failed to receive for the past couple days. I just took it in to have the service updated by Verizon, but it still doesn't work. The music player is another annoying feature; it only plays wma's so you will spend hours converting all of your mp3's if you want to listen to them. It also glitches out like a scratched CD when listening to the songs. Also this is VERY annoying; when you turn the phone's volume to silent, it only controls the volume of the ringer and not the music player. Since the "play" button protrudes from the front of the phone, it always gets bumped in your pocket and starts blaring out music, leading to embarrassing moments in movie theaters, job interviews, etc. The speaker phone button is right on the side of the phone where your fingers would naturally grip the phone, so you frequently end up turning on the speaker phone while in the middle of talking to someone. My brother has the same phone and the camera on his stopped working for no reason. VERY poor design.
 Battery is temperamental October 16, 2007
This phone is okay but at least once a month, I will fully charge it and then have it die a few hours later. This especially seems to happen when roaming. Disappointing.
 Great functional budget phone August 9, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I obtained this phone after my previous contract ended and i found this to be a good little budget phone. I obtained one of the first ones and i primarily use this as a cell phone and not a music player. I've had this phone since July of 2006 and i'm still very pleased with it.
Pros:
Appearance - i think it looks sharp for a cheaper phone. The internal antenna helps for fitment in pockets and whatever holders.
Function - Separate features for vibrate and call volume, so you can always have it on vibrate and adjusting the call volume to your preference (as i like to have it). Speaker phone works well, clear, and it quite easy to use. Bluetooth enabled and works well with my jabra bluetooth headset. Attached covers for all of the open ports. This may not seem important, but i once dropped an old phone and dirt was lodged into the battery terminal and forced me to buy a new phone, and it also keeps the phone looking uniform and clean. Battery life is also pretty good (lasts about 3-4 days with occassional conversations and text messages) and is quick to charge (empty to full charge in less than 1.5 to 2 hours).
Durability - i've dropped this thing many times and it still functions fine with no exterior lcd's to crack.
Cons:
Camera - the 180* rotation is really only good in two positions since you have to open the phone to use the camera. The picture quality isn't great either, but still manages to take a decent shot. The flash is also sufficient for close-dark shots.
Music Player - very laggy when trying to play and switch songs, but i use an iPod for most of my music needs.
 Samsung A930 Phone June 28, 2007
I really like this phone. It looks great and has all the features i need. I've had this phone about a month and I have absolutely no complaints. I even got the leather cover that is made jsut for ths phone and it looks really cool!! My girlfriend also has this phone in Red, she shares the same opinion.
I just wanted a phone I could put music on from my computer June 12, 2007

Everything I wanted to say deals with the phones ability to play music. When I was looking for reviews I found it hard to find one that specifically said if you could put music on your phone from music files your computer. You can, but they have to be in .wma format. It won't play mp3's, which isn't that big of a deal. Also, it will say that you need to buy the USB adaptor stuff, which if you have a SD slot on your computer there is no need. All you have to do is put your microSD in your phone and try and play music. It will put the necessary folders on your microSD, at which point you put it in your SD adaptor and slide it into your SD slot on your computer and put the music files in the appropriate folders, by manually dragging and dropping.
