"Good phone, terrible screens"
Pros: Gets great reception, nice battery life, durable
Cons: Both front and main screen are poor quality, front screen has failed twice for me, lacks many features,
Summary: If you're looking for an inexpensive phone and don't care too much about fancy features like a camera, the SCH-a530 performs quite well. It gets great reception everywhere I've been, and the battery lasts a long time. Call quality is quite good, the interface is easy to use, and can take quite a bit of punishment.
However, three months after I got this phone, the front color screen (which is terrible quality) completely blacked out. The phone hadn't been left in the sun or abused, the screen just died. I took it in to Verizon and they gave me a new phone immediatly. Everything worked fine for about a year, until the front screen once again completly died. I haven't had any problems with the inside screen except it has poor resolution and extreme amounts of ghosting (images fade out over about two seconds).
Overall, my experience with this phone has been decent, but the manufacturing lazyness of Samsung's screens makes me inclined to never buy from them again.
