Great phone if you understand this is not a smart phone
The phone does everything I want it to plus a lot more. No, this is not a smart phone as one review tried to imply. It has great graphics is very easy to learn how to use. Great battery life compared to previous phones I have had. It has great voice recognition that learns on its own. Overall, I am very happy with this item.

really do like this cell phone,
i just purchased it with an upgrade i had avaible to me.
& it's everything i hoped for, the touchscreeen is good,
texting is easy enough, the whole cell phone in general is easy to use too.
if you have expectations of getting a high tech touchscreen phone,
then don't get this, but if you're looking for a cute modern phone,
with good qualty and capability, like i was, then i would recommend this to you(:

I've had my phone for 6 months. Love it. Does what a phone should do. Holds a charge, which was a problem with past phones. Fun, easy to use, nice design. Camera takes crystal clear digital shots and video. So what if the songs play in alphebetical order. And for the fella who didn't understand that there is no free internet service plan offered with any phone out there - it's a decent phone, regardless. I'm getting my daughter one for Christmas.

This phone does everything I was hoping for and more. The internet service speed is faster than my husband's new Blackberry and it's easier to navigate.
My only (very tiny) complaint is that when the alarm goes off, it's very easy to push any button (on the side of the phone) accidentally while picking it up. Apparently, that negates any snooze function and means you either have to reset the alarm or get up at that moment, lol. Like I said, it's a tiny complaint. It's not even important enough to warrant a reduced star rating.
I recommend this phone to everyone and am still giddy over having it, even after 5 months. Best purchase I've made in the last year (or 5).

If you understand that this is not an iphone or blackberry, then it's a great phone. Camera is surprisingly good and buy a cheap mini SD card for $10 and you have pretty much unlimited 3,0 megapix photos. Great for snapping random pictures.
Keyboard rotates with your phone as you type and touchscreen is really good (I own a ipod touch). Calendar is kinda lacking but overall a good (cheap) simple phone for calling, texting, taking quick pictures and watching short movie clips.

I got this phone to replace an LG flip phone. I made sure to read all reviews and decided to go with this. I'm very happy with all the features, I basically got the best phone around without having to pay anything for it, or sign a data plan.
But there are 2 minor problems I have with it; the Touch Screen mode turns off after 30 seconds - which is normal, and can be adjusted - but to turn it back on, you have to press the button on the right side on top and for some reason it doesn't go easy, especially if you keep it in a rubber case like I do.
The other issue I have is that you can't search your contacts by the last name, only with the first, so if you know 10 people named Joe but only 1 named Joe Namath, you would want to search by the last name.
Overall I'm very happy with it and would still recommend it to anyone who is not looking to spend for a phone like me.

I absolutely love my phone and have had no problems with it so far. I keep a full battery charge all day long and have never had any dropped calls! I used to have the Samsung Behold before a terrible car accident, and I replaced it awhile later with this one. I like it even better than the first generation Behold. Only think I do not like on this phone is that there seems to not be a flash on its camera. Maybe I need to play around with it more, but so far, I don't have a flash on this camera which may make some pictures come out very dark if you are not in adequate light. Overall, great phone!

Got this for my son. He loved the phone. Almost cried when we had to send it back. We didn't like the coverage that T-mobile provided so we returned new phones and cancelled contract.

I bought this phone to replace my old Samsung phone and an iPod. Highlight has some nice features and it works well for browsing, texting and GPS navigation (you need a data plan for internet and GPS). The on-screen keyboard is small but I could get used to it. I experienced no dropped calls in past two weeks. The reason for the 1-star rating is the major defect of its music player: it can only play songs in alphabetic order. It completely ignores track numbers. Even if you create a play list, it will still play a song starting with "A" first regardless of the position of the song in the playlist. I called Samsung and checked T-Mobile support forums and this is labeled as a "known normal behavior" so I am guessing they are not planning to fix this in the future. The bottom-line is that if you are just looking for the phone with good browsing and GPS, it may work for you. If you are looking to have a single device that does it all, this is not for you unless you like listening to your music in alphabetic order. I am returning this phone and going with something that can do what I consider a "normal behavior": playing music in a track order.
