| texsboy's Full Review: Samsung SCH 3500 CDMA / AMPS Cellular Phone |
I've had a cellular phone for almost two years now, so I no longer consider myself an amateur when it comes to the technology. Up until this week, I'd had the same phone, a Sanyo which was very reliable (even after having been dropped onto concrete from a height of several feet more than once) and had the standard features of a phone from two years ago. But some friends of mine began venturing into the world of today's mobile phones and I must admit I found myself a bit jealous.
All the hip and cool new designs were the first to catch my eye. And the features! Wow! Wireless Internet. Digital calendar. Games. Text Messaging. And my favorite, Voice Activated Dialing! These new phones were also much smaller and lighter than the model I had. The envy grew. So I started investigating.
The Samsung 8500 was a very cool phone. However, like most of its flipped out counterparts, you had to flip open the phone to see who was calling you. Not cool. That's when I stumbled upon the Samsung 3500! It, too, is a flip phone with all the advantages of such. However, the display is visible whether you're flipped or not. This is definitely the best of both worlds.
I love the 3500. It has the Voice Activated Dialing, the phone book, the alarm, all the features I want in a phone including the compact and stylish flip, but it doesn't make me flip out to see who's calling. It also has a very convenient volume control button which is perfectly placed to allow you to adjust the ringer volume, or the earpiece volume while talking. The phone sounds great and gets even better reception in buildings than my old phone. I highly recommend it the Samsung 3500! And, by the way, I got a great deal on the phone by buying from a dealer through Ebay. I got a brand new phone with accessories for $110 when the phone alone retails for $149!
