Pros: Very good reception and battery life
Cons: No color screen

My old Sony Ericsson T300 recently had problems and T-Mobile offered to give me this phone as a replacement. It does not have all of the features of my old phone, but then again, I hardly used those features, so this was OK with me and better than ...

Pros: Sturdy ~ still working with my kids using it daily!
Cons: Can hit the lock key without knowing it

Two of our cell phones are the Samsung SGH-R225. They were one of the free choices when we changed plans. We have had them both for over a year now, and have yet to have a problem with either one of them! WHAT THE PHONE LOOKS LIKE ...

Pros: Size, Weight, Ease of use, Reliability, durability, now available free!!
Cons: Headset fails easily, limited availability of accessories.

Let me tell you where I'm coming from......When I look for a cell phone, I'm looking for a mobile communication device. Something I can use to keep in contact with my family & job. I don't buy it as a games machine, I have a PS2 for that at home, and ...

Pros: Great coverage, very light, lots of features
Cons: Ring tones, $35 activation fee

For the longest time I always wanted to get one of those cool color-screen flip type phones with the neat polyphonic rings. However, my bank account wanted something else. Before I got the Samsung SGH-R225, I had a heavy and bulky Nokia 5000 ...

Pros: Small, lightweight, easy to use, ringtones, AOL instant messenger, blue light
Cons: Battery life

I got this phone to replace my Nokia 3390 (see my review on that beast of a phone), as it was too big, and far too heavy for my purse. A friend had this phone, so I was able to ask a few questions, and gather a few information before I purchased it. ...

Pros: Very easy to use. A lot of bells and whistles. Cool looking.
Cons: A little pricey though.

I switched to the Samsung R225M over the NOKIA 3390. Voicestream isn't the best service provider and the NOKIA made is that much worse. I came across the Samsung model at a local Voicestream store and has made life just a little bit easier with the ...

Pros: Durable, Good battery life, Robust earpiece connection, Reliable software (no crashes or hangs), "Cute" styling
Cons: Rubber earphone cover difficult to remove, Doesn't sync time and date, "Cute" styling :)

I love this phone. I've been using it for a couple of months, so I can say that it is both reliable and durable. I have had perhaps 7 phones now, and this is one of my favorites. It's battery life is among the best I've had - I can usually get ...

Pros: Lightweight. Inexpensive. Straightforward. Excellent on the basics. Not necessarily for "power users." Euro-compatible.
Cons: Not as high-tech as other costlier models. Vibrating ring could be stronger.

I have used this phone for approximately 15 months on Voicestream (now T-Mobile). I think the 225 is a superb "basic" phone. Slim, light, great backlighting, and, in my opinion, good sound. Fits nicely in lapel pockets. It doesn't cost an arm and a leg ...

Pros: Free with purchase of cellular service contract. Slim and compact and attractive.
Cons: Poor coverage and dropped calls, no solution offered by provider.

The phone was free to me upon signing up for a 1 year contract of cellular service with T-Mobile. I signed up for the service online and chose this phone because it was free. I received the phone via mail 4 days after placing the order online. The ...

Pros: Free in most cases, lots of features, AOL IM client.
Cons: No face protection, have to manually set clock and date, weird email setup.

When I was with MetroPCS I used a SonyEricsson T206 which was a pretty good phone, but I could not justify having to pay $40 per month for the level of service that I was using (and getting). So I went and started looking for a different and cheaper prov ...

Pros: Small, durable, ergonomic, easy to use
Cons: Short battery life

Having used a Samsung in the past, I was quite inclined toward purchasing another. I figured out what service provider I wanted and then went on to choose a phone, hoping they had a Samsung available.

After reading some reviews and looking at...

Pros: blue backlight and multiparty
Cons: background noise irritates people on other end

I received a pair of Samsung R225 phones in the summer of 2002. I had been a nokia user for years, but reluctantly made the switch to samsung. The reason I say "reluctantly" is because I HATE the Nokia 3390 phone.
I am a T-Mobile customer and to...

Pros: It was free, it feels durable and has decent features.
Cons: It doesn't have voice command and the reception is just fair.

Pros: Lightweight, Bright LCD lighting, Games
Cons: No snooze on Alarm clock, bad reception

Since I received my Samsung 225 a few weeks ago I have been very unhappy with the reception. I'm not sure if it's my service provide T-Mobile or the cell phone itself. Let me explain why....I've been with T-Mobile for 4 years and have always had a...

Pros: Small. Lightweight.
Cons: Short battery life. Calls get cut all the time. Annoying beeps.

This is my first cell phone so I may not be accurate with how good these types of phones are. However, I am overly annoyed with this Samsung phone's performance. The battery life on stand-by is gauged at 5-7 days by Samsung. However, the true stand-by...
