Good: It's well designed, durable and easy to use, with a receptive touch screen, long battery life and lots of custom settings.

Bad: I would prefer a threaded message system, and it is slow to connect to the internet, so is not recommended for those using it for the internet.

Comment: This is a really good phone. I have had it several years without any problems. The battery lasts a good week without my having switched it off (I tend to leave the phone locked) I recently dropped it in a drain, but it survived the fall and the water, as well as going through being dropped multiple times before with only a few scratches to show. I like the way I can have three phone backgrounds, and the camera is reasonable too. The memory size is practical.

Good: Looks nice

Bad: I hate this phone. Too many problems. Many a times I threw out, but out of need I had to keep this.

Comment: Few of problems, why I do not want to own such horrible phone, are 1. It freezes, 2. Not easy to understand settings - I do not know how to change Font size, do not know how to set connectivity etc though I am a user for the past 2 years. 3. It reads numbers with and without country code seperatesly. If I saved a number without country code, and if incoming call reads with country code, I can not see the sender's name on screen. 4. While talking suddenly it cuts off, the ear must have touched the screen somewhere, switching it off. There are several other annoying problems, I felt like crushing many a times. I have cursed the manufacturers. I will not buy Samsung phone in my life again.

Comment: The design is good and the three home screens let your spread out the (although quite large but good) widgets... the internet connection is good quality but however quite slow... having said that fast compared to some phones. I cant find the instant messaging icon on the menu or the google icon - for gps - (if there is one) ... need some advice on this please! texting and typing is pretty good and the keyborad I like. Battery life is good.... haven't done many calls on it so can't comment. You tube wont work via reception (not wifi) however it does work when connected to wifi... great phone!!!
