Just ok but a major drawback. No data transfer,
I got this phone for 4 bucks from Tmobile when they ran the special that comes with a free $[...] gift card. ($[...] total). Obviously I have no complaints about the price. It’s an ok phone. Nice size buttons and they are raised so you don’t have to use your finger nail to punch in a number. Fairly decent display but only 3 or 4 wallpapers which are not so hot. Sound could be better but I’m still testing. Sound is the most important thing to me. But, since it has a camera, I began taking lots of pictures. Then I bought a data cable to transfer them all over to the PC. Turns out, this phone does not support data cable transfer even though Tmobile and Samsung and a bazillion merchants on the internet sell a data cable for this phone. Pretty crappy arrangement for a camera phone (not to mention costly). Without data transfer, it costs you 25 cents per picture to email it to yourself in order to get it on your computer. Just so you know the score and don’t spend days (as I did) trying to get this matter straightened out with the seller, Tmobile and Samsung.

|very disappointing,
This is the worst phone I’ve ever had when it comes to signal strength. Dropped too many calls and always at one or two bars max. I put this one next to my old T309, I had one bar in this phone and two bars in the old one. Same network, same card, same place.
I would not recommend this phone even if you are looking for a basic phone as you’d probably find better ones out there. In short, DO NOT BUY.

|Just a Paperweight after 6 months,
The phone was perfect for what I wanted it for (nothing but an occasional phone call or text), but after 6 months of light use the phone suddenly became unusable. In less than a 24 hour period, it began turning itself off and on and stopped making phone calls until finally the buttons completely locked on it rendering the phone unusable. It is now completely dead, in spite of the fully charged battery.
Unfortunately, giving zero stars is not an option in the ratings system here, but that is a fault of Amazon.
