Samsung Galaxy Stratosphere II (Verizon Wireless)

Pros: big screen, attractive, fast on the internet etc.

Cons: screen text keys too narrow, constantly hitting the other keys to the side. Slide-out keys too short, you're constantly doing typos with the keys above and below intended key. Can't get on the wireless @ work. Ringtones and notifications ALL suck.

Summary: This just seems like a cheesy, entry-level phone... Which I guess it is if it's free with your renewal, but with the prices we're paying, shouldn't we get a decent phone? We have been with Verizon for like 8 years and paying ridiculous prices the entire way through, and yet they're handing out trash like this as the upgrade phone with a renewal. Yikes. In addition to everything mentioned in the cons section, it even freezes up occasionally like my 3 yr old phone did, and it's 10 days old. I'm exchanging this POS.

I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 only because if you've got smaller fingers then my primary, and most annoying dislike of the phone might not be a big deal. This is NOT a phone for anyone with even moderately large fingers (like any guy).
