1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Buy!, October 9, 2009

By	M. Payne (NY, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Samsung makes some pretty crappy phones but this has to be the worst of the worst. I needed a new phone without extending my t-mobile contract and this happened to be on sale (first sign to not get it).

Problems so far:
Falls apart easily (Back slides off and battery pops out)
Bad sound quality (sometimes it sounds like your underwater or talking in a box)
Random missed calls
Horrible Reception

Only Pros:
good battery life (very rare for a samsung phone)

Don't buy it! Save yourself the trouble.
