Pros: Small, easy to operate, good service
Cons: absolutely none

I recently signed up for voicestream (TMobile) and bought this phone as part of my package. I paid $49 for the phone and it was worth every penny of it. My wife got a cheaper nokia phone and it is not as easy to navigate as this one. This phone has...

Pros: Small, Colorful LCD,easy to use
Cons: Not many features or extras

This phone doesnt have the latest lcd like the newer phones or the greatest features, but if your looking for a phone that gets the job done and looks pretty good this is the phone for you. The first feature that stands out is how bright the blue...

Pros: light, compact, bright display, cheap
Cons: no voice-dialing, games could be better

I got this phone for $30 with a 1-year subscription to T-Mobile.
Let me say, this is my 1st ever cell phone, but i've done plnety of research and compared many

First of all, the good:
Very small and light, i like it!
The display...

Pros: Looks (can be deceptive)
Cons: This phone is ssslllooowww. Has lots of bugs in its operating system!

I hate this phone compared to the Nokias going around in the market. I have always like Nokias and this time wanted a change. What a mistake!.

I regret falling for its looks. You want key lock - takes forever, unlock - takes ages. This phone...

Pros: AIM, T9, thin, lightweight, small, versatile, powerful, fantastic battery life, ring composer
Cons: sound quality

This phone has a lot of different features packed into its tiny, virtually weightless frame. When I say weightless, I really do mean weightless. Picking up this phone is like picking up a hollow plastic skeleton. The battery life is very good -- 2 days in standby. This phone has so many different features. It has a calendar with an alarm that will display the text the you keyed in to describe the event on the screen. When it displays the text, you can dismiss the event, or delay it for 10 minutes. Another one of my favorite features that this phone has is AIM. It works very nicely with the built in T9 intelligent text entry system. This phone also had a ring composer. I have a book of Broadway sheet music, which I could then program into the phone (which was very simple to do) and use as a ring tone. This phone has "picture messaging" with built in pictures, which didn't really add anything to the experience. The vibrator is very strong. The sound quality is fair, but not perfect. This is one of the best phones I have ever owned. I love this phone.

Pros: Simplistic, it does the job without all the stupid frills that
Cons: LOW BATTERY ALARM (LOUD and not adjustable). Vibration is poor. Ringtones are annoying.

I liked this phone for the most part, it was simplistic, and didn't have all that crap that new cell phones have. The battery life worked fine for me (I used this phone for about 200 min./month).

But, there are a couple of major things that annoy me about it:

1.) The ringtones are extremely annoying.
2.) The vibration never worked well for me.
3.) The low-battery alarm is really loud and you can't adjust the volume!!!

So you set your ringer on silent, you know you set it, then BAM the battery is low and the alarm is on max volume. How embarassing.

Then you get home, go to sleep, and BAM at 4:23 am you wake up because the cell phone, which is way over in some other room, starts blaring because the batteries are low.

Pros: I liked the SGH R225 because it was very light and had good design.
Cons: It had no color and the buttons were too close together. It had no web.

The Samsung SGH R225 I had for a short while, but I liked it very much. It has a sleek and slender design and fits in my pocket neatly. It is very light and has very strong signal reception

Pros: Free phone,great sound quality,easy to use with more features than older model.
Cons: When wearing on a belt with a case (samsung) ,phone sometimes flips open.

Last week,after 28 months, my Samsung C225 phone stopped charging. As a discontinued model neither the phone nor the battery are still available. So back to t-mobile i went.


This time i wanted a flip phone with a speakerphone. They showed me a sleek new one called the T219 that had all the features i wanted. Its just as easy to use as the older models. The sound quality is excellent-way better than the C225,and has many more features. It also holds its charge longer than the older model

Not only was this phone free,i am getting paid to use it-t-mobile will be sending me $50.

Pros: Bright backlight, good battery
Cons: The little rubber plug that you have to lift to plug in the headset.

After being a verizon customer for better than ten years, I was convinced by a family member that I was paying too much and had "a lousy phone". We went to the local T-Mobile store, and within 30 minutes I was on my way home with the Samsung phone and an $18 dollar per month cheaper plan. This phone is pretty easy to operate, easy to read with the nice bright backlight, and has all of the features I need plus a lot I will probably never use. None the less, I have used the phone for about two months now, and have no complaints. The battery lasts long enough that you only need to charge it every few days, the signal is clear and the phone works in places where my other digitals did not. (Only the old analog phones seemed to have real power). I just use my phone for calls, (no games or internet) and it works. If this is what you want, I can't see any reason not to try it, particularly since it's free,(if you switch to the new service).

Pros: features, rugged, price, quality construction
Cons: poor reception

We bought a family plan from T-Mobile and I elected the Samsung SGH-R225m for the organizer and vibration alert. I've had this phone now for almost 2 years. Of the phones we got (two being Motorolas) this one has the worst reception, but passable. In the last six or eight months, it has really declined in its performance as far as reception goes. All other functions seems to work perfectly. I believe the battery life has decrease some too. It has survived several accidental drops onto asphalt/floors without cracking. The snap-in holster is a good configuration for ease of access. The only real drawback is the ability to scratch the phone because it is fully exposed, but mine only has the normal use scratches. This phone has been replaced by the C225 with numerous upgrades (e.g., color display, t-zones, downloadable sounds), but I don't know about its reception quality. I may go for a Nokia as a replacement since I'm having these reception problems (even after SIM card replacement). Apparently Nokia has a reputation for good reception.

Pros: Brilliant blue backlight, attractive case, web enabled, lightweight, and has many useful features.
Cons: Could have better sound quality, no color screen

The Samsung R225 isn't the best phone I have had - but for the price (FREE!) it is a steal. It has a very bright blue backlit screen as well as some great features like alarm, calendar/organizer, animated screen savers, and it is web enabled. I found it to be very user friendly as well. My only complaint with this phone is that the sound quality isn't consistent. If the user isn't holding the phone just right, sometimes they come across somewhat garbled. It is a very lightweight phone, and it is an attractive phone. If you don't care about digital photos and color screens then I would suggest the R225, it is by far the best I have seen offered for free phones.

Pros: Lightweight, easy to use, durable.
Cons: Not quite as high tech as some of the other phones these days.

I got the tiny Samsung because of the extremely attractive low cost that it boasts. It's simple to operate and has plenty of features at the same time. It's not heavy or clunky and it is actually a cute little unique blue phone. If you want a solid phone that is easy to use and is reliable, this phone will give you no problems.

Pros: Automatic Key lock is good. Cute screensavers.
Cons: Doesnt ring loud enough. Having to switch between num mode and abc mode sucks.

Its not a bad phone to get. The price was definatly right (free). I dont like the way that it sets up the phone book, but hey a girl cant complain about a free phone.

Pros: great polyphonics 4 grey scale screen cheap/free
Cons: slow cpu high radiation.

My friend got this phone while I got my T100 from samsung. So we swapped phone and tested them.

Found out that this two phone (t100 and 620) actually share the same hardware and software. The only difference is the LCD screen (t100 have 4096 color, 620 have 4 grey)

Everything else is the same.
Try this:
To get the temperature type *#8999#228#

Pros:
->A slim down version of the T100, thus cheaper price (often free)
->Same great polyphonics
->share the same accessory with the T100
->my travel charger (original) takes 100-240 volts so no problem even when i travel to taiwan (110v)
->Slightly better game than the T100
->slightly longer battery life than the t100

Cons:
->same slow cpu as the t100
->could have better buttons
->prefer it antenna-less
->high radiation effect

Pros: Great reception; lightweight; durable; small; AIM/AOL support; excellent ear piece.
Cons: None, except if you want a camera phone and internet.

I recently purchased the Samsung SGH-R225 with T-Mobile pre-paid service. I upgraded from my Nokia 5180i and believe me, it was worth it. When I first saw it, I couldn't believe how small and lightweight it was. But it looked out of my price range. Fortunately, a man working at the T-Mobile store let me upgrade to this phone free of charge. It was $80 for phone and service and I have 250 minutes with it. And many people think that this phone lacks in features but I don't see those features (camera etc.) being of any importance. It has excellent reception and I recommend it to anybody thinking of purchasing it. It is a wonderful phone and I rank it 10 out of 10 .
