Pros: Light phone, plenty of nice features, good reception, and it's FREE
Cons: Not great battery life

I had several Nokias and an Ericson T28 prior to this phone and I must say the menu operation for the R225 is similar, if not almost identical, to the Nokias (which is a good thing if you're use to the Nokia setup). The Ericson was in a world all by...

Pros: Small. Lightweight.
Cons: Short battery life. Calls get cut all the time. Annoying beeps.

This is my first cell phone so I may not be accurate with how good these types of phones are. However, I am overly annoyed with this Samsung phone's performance. The battery life on stand-by is gauged at 5-7 days by Samsung. However, the true stand-by...

Pros: Small, lightweight, easy to use, ringtones, AOL instant messenger, blue light
Cons: Battery life

I got this phone to replace my Nokia 3390 (see my review on that beast of a phone), as it was too big, and far too heavy for my purse. A friend had this phone, so I was able to ask a few questions, and gather a few information before I purchased it. ...

Pros: Small, durable, ergonomic, easy to use
Cons: Short battery life

Having used a Samsung in the past, I was quite inclined toward purchasing another. I figured out what service provider I wanted and then went on to choose a phone, hoping they had a Samsung available.

After reading some reviews and looking at...

Pros: This digital beauty is a gem!
Cons: It is extremely lightweight and subject to loss if not kept an eye on!

I just purchased this phone and I love the clarity, the style, and the user-friendly menu. Although I haven't had it long enough to make a long-term opinion, I have been immediately impressed by it.

The display is absolutely fantastic! Blue...

Pros: Compact, Good Looks, and Kewl Backlight
Cons: Short Battery Life.

I bought this phone the replace my current Samsung phone. Overall the R225 phone performs well. The clarity is much better than my previous one. The backlight is really good as well. The GSM chip is the way to go in case I decide to switch to another...

Pros: Very easy to use. A lot of bells and whistles. Cool looking.
Cons: A little pricey though.

I switched to the Samsung R225M over the NOKIA 3390. Voicestream isn't the best service provider and the NOKIA made is that much worse. I came across the Samsung model at a local Voicestream store and has made life just a little bit easier with the ...

Pros: Lightweight,nice background,loud
Cons: NO Internet connections,horrible games,no voice dialing

The Sam sung r225 is a great cellular phone. It has some excellent features and a few bad features. First, the good features are that this phone has Voice mail with message alert, Text messages, and even caller id. The caller id is very useful to me...

Pros: Lightweight, compact, good features.
Cons: Poor reception from carrier.

I realy liked this phone, and was sad to return it. Lots of good features, and it seemed to hold its charge well. I did not try the text messaging during the time I had it. There's a flashing light that you can set to different colors based on who is...

Pros: Lightweight, fun, easy to use, and very functional. Lots of features for next to nothing.
Cons: ring tone choices are few.

I ended my contract with U.S. Cellular and had one of those Nokia 5160 or something like that. It was heavy and cumbersome and I wanted something different. T-Mobile was running a special for this phone. A buy one get one free deal so i got 2 phones...

Pros: AOL IM compatible, easy to setup/use, blue screen, very light
Cons: not WAP internet compatible, no hi speed data transfer capability

The first time I saw this phone in June 2002. I said I gotta get this phone no matter what. Of course there are more stylish phones now but for the price ($0 to $89.99) this phone is a great overall value.
First off, the blue screen really sticks...

Pros: Small design, blue indiglo screen
Cons: Battery life, accessories

I purchased this phone due to my Nokia falling apart, so I wanted a better quality phone. This is a better design and the material seem sturdier than my previous phone. I actually dropped the phone, pretty hard too, and it didn't even dent or chip. So...

Pros: Inexpensive, Bright Blue Display, Samsung Quality
Cons: Network Selection Issues

The Samsung R225 is a great value for those looking for an entry level handset with T-Mobile's service offerings. At such a low price, you are picking up a handset that posseses a very bright, brilliant blue display that can light up a room, and the...

Pros: Very lightweight, easy-to-see-in-the-dark blue backlight, features pretty decent, easy 'pocket' phone
Cons: Talk and ringer volume not loud, vibrates very softly, cannot download screensavers.

Even set at the loudest, you can have trouble hearing the other person speak or even hearing the phone ring. The pre-set ringers are not good. Download some for yourself. Very light weight and extremely portable. Blue backlight gets everyones...

Pros: Lightweight, Bright LCD lighting, Games
Cons: No snooze on Alarm clock, bad reception

Since I received my Samsung 225 a few weeks ago I have been very unhappy with the reception. I'm not sure if it's my service provide T-Mobile or the cell phone itself. Let me explain why....I've been with T-Mobile for 4 years and have always had a...
