Pros: Style, size, menu
Cons: Sound clarity, cuts off, don't get voicemails....

I remember writing a review about my Samsung phone and it was all positive. I did not understand why so many people had written so many bad reiews about it. A year and 1/2 after my first review, I thought it would be fair to give you an update as my...

Pros: Light Weight, Clear, Many Features, Good Looking
Cons: A Little Expensive, Makes Annoying Sound When Searching For Signal

I was always against mobile phones. I wasn't really against them for any real reason except for the cost. The cost seemed to out-weigh the reward. Until I recently started using the SCH-3500.

So What's So Special About This Phone?

...

Pros: Companct, Rugged, Tons of Features
Cons: None-Yet

I recently purchased this phone as a re-entry into the cellular market. In only a few short weeks I have really come to enjoy this phone. I have found this phone to provide a clear signal, a multitude of features and a robust quality of manufacture....

Pros: Clear sound & voice-activated dialing (that actually works)
Cons: Durability

In December 2000, my wife and I decided to get cell phones. We purchased two Samsung SCH-3500s. These phones worked perfectly--clear sound, good reception, and some cool features (like the built-in voice-activated dialing and audio memo recorder)--for...

Pros: size, voice features, battery life
Cons: hands free piece fries flip speaker

Many of these reviews are written a few days after purchase, when flaws have not become apparent. How helpful is repeated entries of "I love this phone..I want to marry it...I want it s babies blah blah"
See my specific "easy...

Pros: looks cool
Cons: falls apart

This phone is the hot little unit of this past year, but don't bother. I purchased two of these phones at Christmas time and I am very unhappy with the performance and durability of this samsung phone. The hinges for the ear piece have fallen apart on me...

Pros: Cheap, WEP
Cons: SprintPCS service is expensive

The Samsung SCH-3500 is a great value. To start, time to name off the features.

Dual-Mode - Good for analog or digital networks
Phone book with 99 possible entries
Sprint PCS Wireless Web
Backlit display, 10 rings

...

Pros: size, voice memo, look
Cons: voice-dialing

The Samsung 3500 by far outpowers the competition with features that enable the user to feel more secure in digital/cell phone use. As part of the digital PCS network, I have experienced more dropped calls in certain areas than when I had my other more...

Pros: Cheap Looks Cool Lots of Features
Cons: Have had some problems with it

I found this phone after my old Qualcom had broken. I walked into the Sprint store and saw this cool looking phone for a low price of 129.99 and I thought that I was getting the deal of a life time. Its a dual band phone, meaning that it operates on...

Pros: Voice dial, vibrating ringer, microbrowser
Cons: Out of range at odd moments

Some may say I'm crazy, but I actually compare cell phones to clothes. Cell phones, just like clothes, go out of style from season to season. Everyone wants the stuff that will make them look good, and that will make them stand out. I've owned my fair...

Pros: Not to large or to small, Good features, Vibrating ring
Cons: poor flip mechanism, volume control not flexible enough

I was a big fan of the Samsung 3500 for the first few months I owned it.
But soon after the flaws became apparent. The volume on some incoming calls just couldn't be increased enough.
And after enough opening and closing, the ear piece speaker...

Pros: Light, Multi-Functional, Intuitive, Clear & with design sensibilities to boot!
Cons: Haven't encountered any yet.

The 3500 is my first mobile phone ever. I didn't do much research about hardware prior to my purchase, but it was the least expensive phone for my service provider, while still being dual-band, and offering reasonable perks.

Upon activating...

Pros: small, voice dial, good looking
Cons: web browser not advanced, only stores 20 voice dial numbers

I already have a Nokia 6185. It is only six months old, so I don't need another cell phone. But, when I bought this Samsung SCH-3500 as a gift, I was hard pressed not to give my Nokia instead.

The Nokia 6185 is a great phone. It has a long...

Pros: Compact, stylish,voice-activation feature.
Cons: Battery life, speaker goes bad after awhile

I bought the Samsung 3500 a little over nine months ago, and I must say I am very pleased. The clarity with Sprint PCS service is outstanding and the compact design of this phone is very stylish.
I love the voice-activation feature.This is nice when...

Pros: Lots of features, good sound quality
Cons: minibrowser is useless

This phone's got all the great gadgets available in cell-phones today, and it sounds great. It's dual band, so it works almost anywhere. The voice activation allows you to just say who you want to call, and the phone will dial. The MiniBrowser is not...
