Samsung Magnet SGH-A257 (orange, AT&T)

Pros: The QWERTY keyboard. The battery life is sufficient. The shortcuts from the main buttons make it easy. The sound is awesome. You can actually hear...

Cons: It didn't have that many graphics, backgrounds etc., like other phones. Few decent ringtones. There isn't a video feature. The buttons on the keyboard seem to get stuck occassionally...

Summary: Samsung always seems to make awesome phones. I just got this phone and I really actually LOVE it. Like I said before, the QWERTY keyboard is awesome, just have to practice a bit and get used to it, though the buttons do seem to get stuck, but get better with use. The battery life is amazing. It's really accessible with the main buttons to get to your Inbox, create a message, whatever you want set for yourself to get to easily. And the sound is awesome. On my old phone (Pantech Duo //:<), I couldn't really hear and would break up in places I can hear clearly on this phone, hence it gets better service, even in the same places as before with my old phone...

It didn't have that many graphics, backgrounds etc., like many other phones. Though I did take pictures myself and just set those as the background; even computer graphics. There isn't a video feature, but not a big deal seeing as I didn't really use it before. Just carry around your camera? And the camera on this isn't too bad, for a cellphone, which you can't expect to be that good. It's better than other phones, I'd say. It didn't have that many ringtones, though I didn't expect many...the ones that came with it aren't that great. Though you can record music, albeit fuzzy music, but you can then set that as your ringtone.

Hope this helps! (:
