Pros: Very durable and very small! Tons of features! Cons: Can only be used with Sprint, a not so reliable service in New England.
I got this phone as a birthday present in the beginning of the summer from my girlfriend. I think it might of been a way for her to see where I was at all times. Well, if that is the case, at least I got a great cell phone out of it. The Samsung...

Pros: nice size and features Cons: battery life could be better
I recently had to replace my dual-band Motorola Startac due to the fact that I submerged it in water. (oops) I was in the mood for a change anyway so I purchased the Samsung SCH-8500. Overall, I am very pleased with this phone.
First off,...

Pros: Quality & wealth of features! PC Connectivity, voice dial, etc. Cons: Analog receiver too strong.
PDA's and phones are merging fast. I wanted to replace an old Nokia with something that had web connectivity and a good phonebook. This summer will bring true PDA phones to the market, and will surely put this and other high end phones out of the top...

Pros: Great features, display, voice dial, voice quality Cons: Reliability, quality control
The 8500 is a paradox: it has fabulous features that distinguish it from the competition, but has significant reliability problems that frustrate the user.
I've had 10 different cell phones going back to a back-pack Panasonic and recently...

Pros: Size, Phone book, Size, Battery life, Size Cons: Drop-in charger too bulky
I was fortunate to pick this phone up with a $150 rebate in effect due to my corporate affiliation. Whether it's worth $200, I don't know. I mean it's just a phone.
But at $49 -
I love this thing! The screen is huge for a cell...

Pros: size, wow factor:) holds strong signal almost all the time, retractable antenna, CRYSTAL CLEAR CALLS Cons: what cons??
6/4/01 Home run! Home run with this phone! I always knew Samsung would be the best phone to go with. I had the single band 6100 (you know, the sexy champagne colored one, unfortunately SINGLE BAND, which is what pushed me to buy this smaller, sexier...
