    "Semi Good Phone" on by tcking18

    Pros: +: Great for Texting
    +: Great Camera-really good shots
    +: Easy to use
    +: Nice touchscreen

    Cons: -: NO customization
    -: A tad heavy
    -: Terrible Scrolling
    -: Terribly scratch-prone/very very breakable
    -: not constructed well

    Summary: This phone is a good basic texting phone. I love the full keyboard. The camera is great as well. It is incredibly easy to use; I was able to use it within 2 minutes after opening the box. However, there are very few customization options. Also, the touchscreen scrolling is terrible. My biggest complaint is that this phone feels very fragile. Within 2 days, the slide out keyboard began to feel "shaky" and began to make weird "clicking" noises when I was texting. When I was carrying it in a backpack, an incredibly soft broken pencil tip was able to gouge the screen. Throughout normal daily use, the screen and back covering have become terribly scratched, and the screen is becoming hard to see. Just leaning it on something will result in a scratch. I thought that 1 small drop would completely destroy my Flight. Maybe it is just my phone, but the build quality is terrible. I've had cheaper touchscreen phones for years without getting a terrible scratch like my Flight has.

    Bottom Line: This is an ok phone for what it is-easy to use, good for texting, and a surprisingly nice camera. However, the build quality surprised me--it's terrible, at least for my phone. I expect a better product from a company like Samsung. If I was looking to buy a phone like this, I would look at the products from manufacturers like LG first, or maybe a different model. However, this phone has served me well, and I hesitantly recommend it.
