It's an okay phone.
I've been owning this phone for a few years and have to say I like it, but don't. Here's what I have to say about it:
If you want nothing but HTC phones then don't even go near this one, but if you want a "nicer" phone but don't have the cash then you might want to consider buying this phone.
It has no apps, like all the other phones out there, no WiFi and the battery life sucks, but once this phone is tweaked it can be a pretty good phone.
The features for this camera is actually better than the iPhone 3, it has your all your camera settings when the iPhone 3 has none. Yes the pixel rate is low, so make sure you don't intend for protrait sized photos.
You can also ramp up the speed of your picture taking by turning flash off & setting the preview off, turn autoshot off, auto focus off, set quality to fine, metering to average and you can take pictures in a second or two, removing most the blur & giving a better picture taking experience.
There is no zoom, but that's why I have plans on buying an external 8x telescope zoom lens for this.
Also, I heard complaints that the video size is small & records only 30 secs, just change the setting to "Save to Phone."
Everyone says they can't put music ring tones on this phone without buying, which is true. But that's why you go to MyMxer.com, upload your music for free, edit & send to your phone via message (& your phone asks in the message if you want it as a ringtone), all free of charge & easy.
I have tons of video on this phone, but that's because I bought Aura DVD Ripper Professional (for only 20$) & use it to burn just about any movie onto this phone. Just put the settings on Mobile Phone MPEG-Movie & move the frame size up to 320x240, make sure your Micro SD is a large size, about 4GB or higher & your set.
Battery life can by nipped in the bud by making sure you have your charger with you & one in the car including a portable AA battery operated charger for your pocket or purse.
This phone does have it's issues, it's not so great with browesing the web, but after your tweaking it can turn into a pretty good phone.
And in honesty, I am upgrading to an iPhone but am aiming for the iPhone 4 because of it's camera features (HTC is so-so for me & don't want a bulky android). However, if I get stuck with the 3G, which is what I don't want, I will keep this Samsung Rogue for it's camera snapping abilities.
Going on vacation in October, & this phone will be my camera & video camera.Read full review
