Good replacement phone.

I was very excited to receive this phone from my provider in August 2010. However, you'll quickly note that this is definitely a low-end phone. I'd only recommend it if you were looking for a cheap replacement phone.

Pros:
-Very easy to use. After the Android 2.2 update, the phone worked about 10 times better.
-Keyboard. Love the physical keyboard. Comes in handy, however, it doesn't seem to autocorrect.
-Camera DOES have auto focus.
- compact, doesn't need a phone cover (although it's recommended). It also fits in your pocket.

Cons:
-Like with any smart phone, you have to charge it at least twice a day.
- because it is a low-end device, many applications will not work for it (because of the screen resolution).
- the resolution is something to be desired
- freezes up a lot, processor can be slow at times.
-GPS was a major issue with the update, however, a complete reset of the phone should fix the issue.

Bottom line: it's a good replacement phone, but not something i'd want to keep for two years, you can only take out the battery so many times for a hard reset.

Good phone, not the greatest for app usage.

This phone, as a phone, is great. It draws good signal. The interface is intuitive, easy to use Android, and a manual is included on the device itself. The touch screen responsiveness is slow, and its accuracy is so-so. Wifi usage is limited to an hour to three hours at best, so I recommend it be plugged in when downloading apps or surfing to be able to use it as a phone afterwards. Nevertheless, it is an interesting way to learn Android prior to jumping into the tablet field.

Slow, Locks Up, AVOID

Let me start by saying that I used to be a BIG Samsung lover. We got 3 of these phones free when we signed up for Sprint. I wouldn't take them again if they paid me to do so. They are horrible. They are extremely slow (tried adding memory, and moving all apps to SD card... still didn't help). Heaven forbid you are ever in an emergency, because you can't make one call after another. You have to wait at least 2 minutes in between phone calls. At times, your phone rings, #1 it won't show you who it is, #2 it won't let you answer (or ignore) it, #3 the phone locks up, so you have to take the battery out and turn it back on. This is the worst phone I've ever owned. Don't go near it! Spend the $$ and buy something else... ANYTHING else.

Sh*t Phone

Junk phone. Nothing but problems locks up is slow and has low internal memory for apps. I have one and my wife has one. this is the worst phone ether of us has owned. It cant do simple task it is intended to do. example my phone locks up when you try to answer a call. I have to call people back ounce it unfreezes. on screen keyboard is to small to use. It randomly shuts it self off and turns itself back on. I could go on and on. Don't buy this phone unless you just cant afford anything else.

Darn good phone - Sprint Network

This is the first Galaxy class phone. The reception is good except in rural areas where it keeps reminding me I am "roaming" even though my plan has free roaming. My only true complaint is that the touch screen does not respond well to my touch sometimes or that it seems to lag in response on occasion. These instances are rare. Mostly it responds quickly. I have 1,400 songs on it and jack it into my car stereo every day. Overall an excellent multi-use tool.
