"There isn't much this phone can't do!"
Pros: camera, video, mp3 player, you can add memory, clazzy look, beautiful display...
Cons: Doesn't have flash and the camera would be way cooler if it was more pixels.
Summary: After a long search for a phone that would make me happy, I found the Samsung T629. At first I really had to think about it just because the keypad was a turn off, but after purchasing the phone and actually using it, I found the keypad was actually not problem at all. It is slim and reminds me of the Motorola Ghay-Zer... The only reason I don't like those phones are because they are flip phones and everyone has one.
The Slider feater is personally a favorite... I was looking to get the Nokia 8801i since I previously had an 8890 and the 8801i had many features I wanted... But I didn't want to spend 500 dollars on a cell phone. The Samsung T629 has all the same features plus it plays MP3's and you can add memory to it with a micro sd card.
Theonly thing that would make this phone more awesome is if it had a better camera with a flash, but then, this is a phone not a camera, I rather use my bad ass camera to take pictures with. All in all even the camera does a really good job.
Personally I absolutely love it! I would rate it a ten, but the immediate doubt I had with the keypad, which I ended up happy with, and the fact that there are other phones out there with a camera that has flash, I give it a 9.
Still if you think about it, the phones that have the camera with the flash don't always have all the cool features that this one does. So you know what, I'm sticking to my rating of 10!!!
Another thing I noticed from other user reviews... People complained that they couldn't turn off the auto text feature when text messaging. This is easy, you just turn off the t9, refer to the manual, but the button it the top right button above the hang up/power key. You just press it once and you'll notice the t9 is gone...
Another thing is not many people knew how to turn it to silent or off of silent without having to go in through the menu settings... This phone was programmed for convenience... All you have to do is press and hold the # key and it will go into or out of silent mode...
Everyone has their own tastes of course. This phone simply felt right in my hand and the more I use it the happier I am with it. Plus I got it on sale so it was only 70 dollars. If you find the right place and they have them in stock you can get it for 50 bucks after rebates... I had to go through T-Mobiles customer Service to order since everyone was out of stock... I guess everyone knew it was a bad ass phone so they went looking for them.
