Pros: Big improvements made over previous models
Cons: A little pricey at $180 now. No tri-mode capability

When we got in the Samsung N200 we were a little reserved on promoting this handset. We saw the problems that the 3500 had, and were afraid that since it had a very similar design, the same problems would pop up.

We expected to see a lot come...

Pros: Lightweight, Sturdy, Great Options
Cons: At $199, still more than most are willing to pay

Shopping Around

In mid-August, my beloved Samsung 3500 began it’s last weeks of life. At over a year and a half old with heavy usage, I figured the time would be here sooner, rather than later. When the speaker of the phone began...

Pros: Durability, size, style and screen.
Cons: No voice recorder, different battery to old phones.

As an existing SprintPCS customer I had to replace a broken Samsung SCH-3500. The N200 has all the strong points of the 3500, with a couple much needed improvements.

I'm going to gear this toward those planning on upgrading, and make...

Pros: Great size, color, features, somewhat easy to navigate
Cons: High priced, easy to lose (the belt clip/holster doesn't hold the phone

The belt clip/holster doesn't hold the phone too well. My phone has fallen out of its clip several times leaving it scratched up a little. You'd think that if Samsung could make a cell phone that costs $150 that they could make a better clip/holster....

Pros: Price, "phone-yness", improved design - the Flip part is sturdier.
Cons: none for what I wanted, but the reception is not as good as my 8500.

It was time for my wife and I to move to 2 phones. We had happily been with SprintPCS for several years and wanted to maintain that account, but didn't want to spend alot of money for a second phone account and were looking at pre-paid card phones. After...

Pros: Metal flip, slightly smaller than 3500, sounds better, bigger phone book
Cons: My first one was defective! Retail price is too high.

This phone is an updated version of Samsung's 3500. Users may know that this phone was great EXCEPT for the fatal flaw: a flimsy flip that eventually cracks and breaks off (I know 3 people this happened to!).

The new N200 cures this with a...

Pros: Large screen, one-touch volume control, joystick
Cons: Does not fit well in case, difficult to remove car recharger socket cover

Most people blame the clarity of calls on their phones, when in fact the service provider, your position in relation to an antenna, your surrounding, and if applicable, the earpiece all contribute.

Even in big metropolitan areas, with ANY...

Pros: Easy joystick navigation, sleek casing, well-designed features
Cons: Somewhat pricey, may measure signal strength inaccurately

A Review of Samsung's SPH-N200

I purchased this phone about a month ago, and am very pleased with it. I look primarily at three things when searching for a phone: aesthetics, features and functionality. I've divided this...

Pros: Great reception; great sound quality; packed with features; really a powerhouse little phone
Cons: No games? Battery life might be a trifle suspect

I recently purchased an amazing little cellphone: The Samsung N200 Blue for use with Sprint PCS wireless service. I had needed a new phone for a while, and had my eye on the n200 because of some positive word-of-mouth and online window-shopping. But...

Pros: Size, Clarity, Value of the phone now that it is an "older" model
Cons: Ringers, Not all buttons are shielded by flip case.

This is now my 5th phone while using Sprint PCS service over the last 4 years. This one is clearly the best. First let me say that I only paid $60 for this phone at Ebay, so shop around, you can find one very cheap right now.
This phone has amazing...

Pros: Comfort, Call clarity, Good design
Cons: WAP browser, Sprint

I have owned 9 previous models of cell phone from Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson and Audiovox. This was my first Samsung. I was never too hot on Samsungs other consumer electronics products so I was a bit leery when the kid at best buy told me this was the...

Pros: Price, looks, clarity, features!
Cons: Battery life not as advertised

I recently purchased this phone at Best Buy for a mere $80. I think it’s a pretty good deal, as they were having a sale. Nonetheless, so far I have found this to be a great phone. The clarity and signal strength is excellent. Everybody I’ve talked to...

Pros: Joystick makes going through menus a blast. Has meny PDA features.
Cons: Doesn't measure signal very well, T-9 "word guessing" software is annoying.

I've had my Qualcom 2700 for about a year and a half now, and it took tons of falling, kicking, and smashing against the walls. But just when i thought the phone was indistructable and left it on the gym floor, somebody successfully landed a dumbell on...

Pros: Good sound quality, easy to use interface. Easy on batteries.
Cons: Reception is middle of road. Better than most, but not as good as the best.

I've had this phone for 2 years. The best thing about the phone is the loud and clear sound quality. ...

Pros: It's blue. Well, mine was, at least.
Cons: Worst reception imaginable, laden with useless features, no downloadable ringtones

I bought this phone the very first week it came out, and at first I was only a little disappointed. I had "upgraded" from a Sanyo SCP-4500 (a fantastic phone, in my opinion) to this new Samsung because I was enamored with its looks.

That was...
