Good phone, questionable service

by miraa , Oct 07 '02
Pros: Small and thin, color screen, higher speed web, feature-rich
Cons: Crackly speakerphone, external antenna
I just upgraded to this phone from it's Samsung SCH-3500 progenitor. I love the color screen and Sprint Vision (40 - 70 kbps)just started working today. It's not as speedy as I'd like, but it's quite a bump from the 14.4kbps wireless modem that was...

DO NOT buy this phone!!

by be6970 , Nov 14 '03
Pros: the only pro I can come up with is that the color screen is pretty
Cons: horrible battery life, features, functionality, range, clarity and it's not user friendly
My husband has been a sprint pcs customer for years and had the original phone from when he signed up. So, for his new duty station in the Air Force, I bought him the Samsung N400, which the rep told us was the upgraded version of the one he had. Unfortun ...

Super Cool Sassy Little Phone!

by ulualoha , Oct 27 '02
Pros: Absolutely Everything!!!! It's a terrific phone!!
Cons: Only thing I could say is the battery life...but the pros far outweigh this!
I was forced into buying a new phone when my older Samsung finally broke. I was so upset....that is until I got this phone. It's displays are beautiful and easy to use. It's got so many great features...it really makes your PDA or organizer...

Poorly designed interface

by gregdeveer , Mar 25 '03
Pros: Looks good on the outside
Cons: Looks awful on the inside
The fact that this phone has a full-color LCD is exploited grossly by some over zealous designer, to the detriment of the functionality. Menus and clear navigation have been set aside to make room for aquarium scenes and swimming fish.

N400

by mg48 , Nov 14 '02
Pros: thin, light, color, web, email, GPS, flip phone
Cons: weak batt, no cumulative call timer
I got the n400 from the sprint store after playing with it for a little while. I need to replace the old star tac. I like the flip phone because I actually feel like I am speaking into something vs the little phones with the mic up by your ear. The...

Stay away
by rsabobo ,Feb 19 '04
Pros: Big color display, flip phone
Cons: The basics: reception, battery, and the ability to work
While this phone looks pretty, has a big color screen, and other niceties, it lacks the basics: reception, battery life, and the ability to work. STAY AWAY!!!

My phone rarely -- and by rarely, I mean almost never -- gets good reception. Even where I work in downtown LA, in a high rise, it gets bad reception. Many times, even without using it making calls, my phone goes dead within ten hours. Also, the phone will freeze like a computer and I'll have to remove the batteries

Good Phone
by ramundo146 ,Dec 29 '03
Pros: Web capability, Games, Shortmail
Cons: Expensive,Sensitive, can't send small text messages
This is a good phone for a person who likes to play games, go online and for talking on. I think it has a nice design but is slightly expensive like most color cellular phones.

WASTE OF MONEY!
by karma007 ,Jun 11 '04
Pros: Looks Good but that's about it.
Cons: Lousy Battery Life and not recommended for it's unreliability!
I need to have my phone working 24/7. Many times I have missed calls as my phone either DIDN'T ring at my end, or went directly to my voice mail without my knowledge. I have even received voice mail notifications 3 hours AFTER the message was originally left!! Definitely the worst phone I have ever owned.

Been around quite a while
by wenpyle ,Dec 25 '03
Pros: good price durable and ergonomic.
Cons: short battery life with original battery, and slightly weak reception.
I have owned many cellphones from many carriers in the past 15 years but the Samsung N400 is the best one for the bucks that I have ever had it does have a few quirks but nothing that is excessive... The battery time is short but the extended battery is cheap and lengthens the talk time almost 3X . It does seem to have weak reception. but well within usability.

Samsung N400 - Don't Waste Your Money!
by gkrage ,May 04 '04
Pros: Too few to mention
Cons: Poor reception. Poor battery life. Screen freezes. Obsolete already after 16 mos.
We purchased 2 of these phones approx. 16 mos. ago from Sprint. After about 6 mos. one of the phones began repeatedly freezing in different screens. We were told to remove the battery to fix this, by the idiots at Sprint. Eventually the phone completely froze and was inoperable. We were told by the
Sprint people that this is a common problem with this phone. I lost all my phone memory numbers and info., and had to wait 2 weeks for a replacement. The second phone began doing this a few months ago, and once again the advice from Sprint was to remove the battery. Now the second phone is completely frozen and inoperable. We are now told by the ever so helpful people at Sprint that the phone is no longer made. Big surprise, I wonder why??? No offer to replace it or any type of consolation. Just buy a new model....
So, if you're looking for a $200 disposable phone that will likely only last a little over a year, this is the model for you! Stay away from Samsung and Sprint, neither company stands behind their products.
