"Average Phone despite slimness"
Pros: Slim and unique, eye catching
Cons: flimsy, uncomfortable in hand, low battery life
Summary: So the first quam I had with the phone is the user friendliness, but after owning only nokias for so long, I figured I was just spoilt and needed to give the Samsung a chance. One major item I'm dealing with is that I can't seem to store different numbers (cell, home, work, etc) under one name. Instead, I have to store them individually (example: "Tom home" save, "Tom Cell" save. Also, in my Nokia I was able to save my numbers to both my sim and phone. Now I have to choose one or the other. becuse the phone is so slim, you end up holding it with your fingertips while on the phone. This means you don't really have a firm grip and I've droped the phone a couple times. This brings me to my next point. I know that some phones aren't designed for impact and again I suppose I was spoiled by nokia, but the backlight on the keys are already down for the count after one or two spills and I barely have the phone 3 months. Other people have mentioned the low batery life but I guess it would be expected since the battery is so small. It's also been mentioned that while charging, the display stays illuminated. I just turn the phone over on its face, but I can see how it could be annoying and I'm not sure what it would do to screen resoloution to have it on so long. Other than those factors, it's everything else you could want in a phone.
