It's a good phone with a pretty good size screen. One of my favorite things about this phone is the front display is very basic, having the time easy to read. It's perfect to read when just taking it out of your pocket to look at the time with the vertical screen. The vertical screen takes some getting used to but some don't like it at all. You end up getting used to reading sideways if the phone of on a desk or someplace similar. Camera is good quality and swivels so you can see when taking a picture of yourself.
This is a good solid phone, with all the features my Parents need because they do not text. Has speaker phone, camera and plenty of other capabilities. For texting other models are easier. Overall nicely built easy enough to use Phone.
I love the fact that the phone has removeable memory AND a camcorder with the camera, and that it has an mp3 player. I don't really care for the camera as I would prefer 3 megapixal or higher, but most phones with that quality of camera require a data package purchase with verizon so I'm stuck with the lesser camera. I bought the phone because it was a GREAT price given all the features.
I had this phone for about a month, I loved it. Playing music from it with the speaker phone replaced the radio in my car. It supports regular sized headphones as well. If you purchase this phone I strongly reccommend purchasing the music transfer cable and software as well as a micro SD memory card so that you can use the phone like an Mp3 player. Unfortunately I put it through the washing machine and now I really miss my phone, I'm looking to rebuy it.
Four years later, I bought another one. Why? #1: Durability without being a "construction site" phone. I bought my first Samsung SCHA930 four years ago, brand new for around $250. I had dropped it on concrete countless times, and after four years of this (and a very scratched surface) I never even worried about such events. The screen and buttons are well protected and the hinge is rock solid. It finally pooped out when I pulled the cable on the charge port the wrong way. My fault. This is always a potentially vulnerable part of any phone. #2: Good camera. Okay, it's only 1.3 megapixel... More than adequate for auto accident evidence or pictures of your friends to share. What self-respecting pro photgrapher uses a cell phone anyway? You get a good image and more megapixels would be overkill for most users. And, it can take LENGTHY videos, even without added memory. #3: Compact. For a phone of its age, it's nice that it doesn't have an external stand-up antenna. It slips into a jeans pocket or shirt pocket without poking you. #4: Bluetooth works very well. #5: MP3 player. Back in its heyday this was marketed as a music lover's phone. Okay, the feature is there but MP3 playing is now quite common in cell phones and getting music onto it from a computer is a bit cumbersome without a USB cable. The best way to go about it is using a mini SD card. There's no good indexing interface for music on the phone. But, this phone would be great even if it didn't play music. I use other devices for music. BOTTOM LINE: If you're not all about texting with a QUERTY keyboard, and if you just want a low-price compact phone with good features and reliability, a used one of these is a GREAT alternative to buying a brand new "cheap phone". You'll pay less, look cooler, and it'll still last longer than a brand new no frills phone. PRO: It's Verizon. A very reliable network. CON: It's Verizon. A very expensive network.Read full review
