4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet little phone, July 3, 2009

Nancy Muir - See all my reviews

Got this phone a couple of days ago. I love the small, square form factor. Bright clear screen. Easy to use menus. Qwerty keyboard is adequate, though like most, keys are a little small. Design of faceplate with slider closed is clean and uncluttered, gray and pewter are classy, though I wish they'd had some colors to offer. One thing I don't like is that, when you press any button to get the screen to come on (which I often do to check the time, especially when timing my walks) there is about a 3 second delay while a message appears telling me how to unlock the keypad, which is annoying--wish I could turn this feature off. Otherwise good, clear sound, battery seems pretty good so far, navigation keys easy to use.

Amazon Verified Purchase

I love this phone, I purchased it on Amazon because I needed a phone w/out a plan and they had the best deal! I had done a lot of research about this phone before purchasing and let me just say the phone is great. Battery life is fantastic, I think maybe I recharge about every 3-4 days even talking on it regularly. The sound quality is good and the buttons are great for typing. Overall I would recommend this phone to anyone.

This review is from: Samsung t239 Phone, Red (T-Mobile) (Wireless Phone)

I have had this phone for six months with the prepaid option and I love it. It is easy to use, has a long battery life, and is one of the best cell phones I have purchased in the past 8 years. I rarely use the camera or alarm. I just wanted a phone that I can depend on and this fits the bill. Should have gone this prepaid route long ago, it is saving me a bundle.
