Pros: Slick, light, compact, long battery, display, reception, alert light,navigation, antenna, volume control, battery
Cons: buttons,(slippery), Web, late voice mail, reception losses, needed replacement, Poor provider rates/service

Phon Cons:

I want to put the cons first because I had some trouble with my phone and had to have it replaced. Thank goodness it was only 9 months old and under warrenty. The phone acted fine for 6 months but then after, it would shut off on...

Pros: Receives great signals, great sound
Cons: Difficult to use headset & close flip

The Samsung 8500 (Black or Silver) is the best true "flip" phone available for Sprint PCS.

This phone has one of the best ability to receive a great signal in an area where the signal might not be that strong.
Allowing it to receive 3 to...

Pros: Size, battery life, lots of features, not too expensive
Cons: Voice activated dialing can be frustrating when it's wrong

When I bought my Samsung 8500 my plan was to try it out for 14 days and then return it. Having worked with Samsung products in the past (and having been unimpressed)I was just going to "test drive" the phone for a few days since I had heard...

Pros: Small
Cons: Horrible software, poor volume, flip requires two hands

As an interlude, don't be dismayed by some good reviews. Features such as voicemail being your "virtual answering machine"....well, to say the least, that's not an exciting feature. I would expect voicemail capability on a phone, and it's primarily a...

Pros: Size & Gadget-Like Features; Automatically Makes You A Trekkie
Cons: No Holster; 5 Voice Recordings Max; Automatically Makes You A Trekkie

Samsung has come out with some great phones lately. This latest feature-packed phone crams what its predecessor had, and adds a few more - all the while shrinking the overall size of the phone. The best and most interesting features of this phone are...

Pros: Versatile, compact, vibrate mode
Cons: Um...er...hmm..... I can't think of anything!

So you're in the market for a new mobile phone? Stop right here. You've found what your looking for. I've used audiovox, motorola, niokia, and samsung phones. When I joined Sprint PCS (great service, BTW) five months ago, I bought the Samsung 3500....

Pros: Small, good menus & phone book, generally easy to use.
Cons: using a headset can be awkward; possibly susceptible to heat damage (see update at bottom)

Be forewarned, this is my first cell phone. Naturally, I've known plenty of people that use them daily (and some that don't even have a land-based phone), but having just started in the Marines in Washington, DC, this is the first I've ever needed to be...

Pros: Good menus, Voice dialing, and great phone book!
Cons: A little bulky for a small phone, mediocre reception, and expensive.

This phone does everything that most of the high-tech savvy phone users would want. This phone is more limited by current technology than anything else, and the fact that Sprint service is mediocre at best. In fact, the biggest drawback to this phone...

Pros: Small, Great Quality, Feature Rich
Cons: I have not found any yet.

I purchased this product as a replacement for my Sprint Touch Point 2200 (Denso Eagle 22). A good phone with lots of features. There was nothing wrong with the Touch Point, except Sprint had taken an order from me for a wireless web connection CF Card...

Pros: Features, Portability, User Interface, Storage
Cons: No Holster, Touchy Reception, No Desktop Synch

I went into my local Sprint PCS store to purchase a replacement for my Qualcomm "Q Phone" that I bought a year ago. My purchase requirements were basically the same: I want it small and light enough that I will keep it with me at all times, I...

Pros: Light, strong functionality, good battery life
Cons: Not too many actually

I bought my Samsung 8500 phone in a department store sale (they were ditching cell phones) and I had lusted after this phone for some time. I finally caved and paid my $100 or so dollars for the phone, I was told that with rebates and through some...

Pros: Sturdy, solid performance, something you can use for the term of your contract.
Cons: Needs a diet; Nokia's menu system better.

My year long contract with VoiceStream is over. My phone with that company was the Nokia 6190. It was my first cellular phone and it proved to be a trouble-free, reliable phone with intuitive, easy-to-follow menus. From this positive initial...

Pros: Strength, size, reception, voice-dial, battery-life, screen-size, data capable.
Cons: I can't think of one!

I've had this phone for a year now, and since I did consult other user opinions here before buying it, I think its about time that I returned with my share!

After tax, the price I paid for this phone was about $216. In a short while, I also...

Pros: SMALL Packed with GREAT Features. Great Batt life. Great clarity!
Cons: Maybe the next one will let you watch Videos on it?

The Samsung Sch-8500 is truly a piece of art in the cellular phone arena. Sure there are the hot sellers by Nokia 5100 and the new 8100 series (which I love) but none can match up to this little guy. Below I will give reasons why this cell is so...

Pros: Features, ease of use, sleek look
Cons: Sound is very good but not always great

The Samsung SCH 8500 is one of the hottest cell phones around, and for good reason!! In this epinion, I will not only tell you how great the phone is, but I will give you a category by category comparison of the Samsung SCH 8500 versus its chief...
