Wow, A fully functional multi-media masterpiece!!!

This phone will meet or exceed your expectations!!! The MP3 player is great. It has the external buttons for reverse pause/play and skip, however when you don't touch them for a short period of time it turns them off so that you don't accidently bump your phone and skip over the song you are already on! I found that if you have a card reader you don't even need the media bundle and software, You just download your music to the card in the card reader and thats it. The same applies with photos etc... The photos that it takes are amazing! I store them on my card and take them to be printed at the local 1 hour photo, And you would have thought I took them with a high dollar digital camera or a nice 35mm. I say buy it, and you'll enjoy it as mutch as I have!

Decent attempt to package advanced features cheaply.

I don't buy new phones or new cars. There's always too much profit wrapped into the cost of NEW and I won't sign a long term contract with my cell service just to get the latest and most popular hardware. My wife was using a Motorola Razor but it was having battery life problems - she actually had to swap out charged batteries 2 times a day. This was becoming frustrating for her so I started looking for something different. The Sync is similar to the Razor in size and styling - clamshell, internal antenna, thin design. These were all important to her. I did some searching and found web reviews giving great ratings for the Sync for battery life so I decided to give it a try. Used and refurb'd prices are reasonable so I felt that even if we tried it and didn't like it, we could resell and get most of our money back. The Sync came in and we were pleasantly surprised with the number of advanced features. The MP3 player is a nice benefit although the controls to access it are a little complicated...at least for someone from the technologically challenged over-40 generation. The battery life is excellent compared to the Razor. The screen resolution and colors are beautiful and the camera can take higher resolution photos than my older phones. I liked it enough to find another one to replace my own old LG. My biggest complaint so far seems relatively minor: I've stopped using a wrist watch because of the time feature on cell phones. On my older phones almost all of them had the time constantly visable on the outside screen. On the Sync, the outside screen goes dark after 30 seconds, probably as a battery saving measure but it forces me to have to flip open the phone when I want to check the time. Minor, but a little annoying to have to get used to.
Accessories are easily found and inexpensive.
It's a very good replacement phone for the money. I am pleased with the upgrade I made with this model.

A REALLY NICE PHONE! packed with features, nice big color screen, easily readable outside small COLOR screen. capable of storing a ton of music like a ipod. 2gig camera. Cellular video, Media net, text, calendar, calculator and a bunch of other stuff. this phone is easy to hear in loud areas, and also easy to read. This phone does about everything well. I have seen this phone in Red, Blue, Gray and Black, but you can get protective snap on covers (in about every color) for less than $10 here on ebay.

Love the Sync. 4th one I have owned.

Got my first Sync the first week it came out. I am a middle aged lady and the salesman told me about the music and 3G features on the phone. I thought it was ridiculous to put all that stuff on a phone. I like the way it felt in my hand, I could read the characters on the screen, the menu was easy enough to figure out, so i got it anyway. It is the best phone I have ever had, bar none. That was years ago now. Since then I have had a Samsung BlackJack, an HTC Tilt, a Moto Q (POS if u ask me), a LG EnV, a LG Voyager, a LG, a Samsung Blackjack 2, a LG CU515 and a Nokia something (cheapie) and an iPhone. Also, since then I have changed jobs and I now work for a competitor of AT&T, but I still have use AT&T service personally. I have become more educated about wireless devices since getting my first Sync and I am still impressed with it. I do have and use an iPhone daily, which I love. That being said, the Samsung Sync does not have as many belss and whistles as the iPhone, but what it does, it does superbly and it is durable. So why did I need four of them if it durable? That is a fair question. I have 4 grown children, all of whom have AT&T and five grandchildren. Two of my previous Syncs were "borrowed" by one daughter. She lost the first one, which I had replaced mine because she had that one. Then of course, she took my second one. The third one disappeared one night when I was visiting my 4 year old granddaughter. She could not remember where she put it and the ringer was off. Since then, her parents have moved to a new home and did not find it while packing, so there is little hope of finding it ever. That is the biggest problem I have had with the Syncs: people like tham and take them. The same granddaughter took her Mom's iPhone and was playing witrh it in the bathroom. She heard Mommy coming, freaked out and flushed it! Bye bye iPhone. (I know that was irrelavent, but I thought it was funny.) Anyway, they are durable and do what they were made to do very well AND people in their forties and fifties can read the display. So after being without one for a few months, I bought a fourth one and ordered a fifth. I am ready for my offspring next time. hehehehe Great phone, really. Another great phone is the Omnia by Samsung. I dont have one yet, but it is awesome. Of course, I would never trade my iPhone for anything, depite the fact that it is tempermental and can get very slow, I love it and the apps it will run. I frequently have to get my iPhone throughout the day to refer to things I have in it, even to make a call on the home phone. Anyone remember home phones? They have wires running from them to the wall. Anybody? Hello? <<crickets>>

Great phone! You will love it!

This phone does it all without being over-done like the new high end ones now coming out. It takes beautiful pictures, plays music perfectly, is a nice size to hold in your palm, doesn't roll off the car seat and is a charimg red color! I really enjoy this phone!
