Best thing to happen to phones since Phone Sex!!

by funkedup , Sep 17 '01
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.

Great phone!

by kailadog , Mar 27 '01
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...

Fabulous But Unreliable

by mprigoff , Mar 14 '01
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...

by scottedt , Jun 14 '01
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...
