 bad quality, incompatible with headsets November 28, 2008
The phone looks nice, has easy menus and was easy to use. However, it has some serious problems. As others mentioned, the sound quality is not good and the speakerphone is too quiet. And this is what I hate about Samsung - they change the headset jack / power outlet on their phones making the phone incompatible with regular headsets. I spent hours today driving around to electronic shops and there wasn't a single headset I could use with this phone.
Of course I also tried using the headset adapter made for the phone to use with a regular headset. As soon as I plug in the samsung adapter (I don't even plug the headset in yet) it starts calling people on the 'recent calls' list! If I force it to hang up, it will call again and keep calling constantly! Really buggy! And when I've talked to people with the adapter the recipient hears echoing.
If you don't plan on using a headset, and especially if you are a heavy text-message user, this phone might be for you. But if you need a headset like I do, this phone will not work for you.
 Great temporary phone:) November 24, 2008
I do not understand why people say about bad sound.i am hard of hearing,and I hear just fine on this phone.I broke my 2nd phone from AT&T,and In 2 mos i can get an upgrade.So till then,I am happily using this phone.I paid only 60$ for it,and i am NOT complaining about it.I bought a razor v3 on ebay for 80$ and had to return it @@ it broke in THREE days,no dropping or nothing!!I prefer this one over the razor v3.It is Small,yet it does take pictures(fun to do).No movies(which I enjoyed and sending to my email box:*(.It does give you options of black N white etc,and cute frames that I use as my picture when I open the phone.I rate it 4 stars,because if it was a LITTLE bigger,I honestly think I'd keep it and not even renew my contract:)
SO overall,its a cool phone,and I am glad we have the option to buy a go phone,and put a sim card in it.This option works with ALL gsm phones:)
I like having the insurance,and i'm not giving up cell service,so I will upgrade in 2 mos.Time flies:)
I am not sure what to upgrade to....
 OK if your main interest is minimal size. November 8, 2008
Voice volume is inside the acceptable range, but nowhere near impressive.
The ringers are not very high quality (very basic MIDI playback, and no MP3), but it's loud enough to be functional in most situations.
Some of the buttons are very stiff, while others are easier to push. Texting would be painful after a short while.
The menu responds slowly, as does the camera when you try to start it.
It is technically compatible with Java games, but is limited to files less than 100k and does not run them smoothly.
The phone feels physically durable.
The display is of good quality.
Overall, the phone looks much better than it performs, with the display being one exception. If you don't mind a less stylish phone for GoPhone service, the Motorola c168i offers the same basic performance for less money.
its an okay phone October 25, 2008

I purchased this phone after my other at&t one broke, and i've found this phone to be okay.
its a very small phone, people are always telling me how they cant believe how small it is... and also a very sturdy phone, i can't tell you how many times i've dropped it (on accident of course) but it never breaks. Sometimes it turns itself off, but thats okay.
Oh and once all my photos got deleted off of it, not sure why, probably cause i dropped it, but i was pretty mad, however over it now lol
the sound quality isn't so good, but thats just fine with me seeing as i text message more then i call people. If you buy a ring tone, beware... the ones that i bought, you cant even tell what song they are because the sound quality is so bad.
im not much of a picky person, tho, and i love this phone, faults and all!!
its a good deal for what you pay if you just need a temporary phone, and i think its cool. =] have a nice day!
Tiny, but a pretty good basic phone. August 1, 2008

This is simply a very small phone. the sound quality is too variable and the speaker is tinny. That said it seems fairly reliable, has a serviceable camera and possesses a certain cache of chic with it's diminutive profile.
In other words it's kind of cute. Being a middle-aged man with bad eyes, I'd prefer something more my size and as a personal preference something with more features, but then, again it is not a particularly expensive phone and gets the job done.
