The Bottom Line: looks good, small, but real bad phone!

I remember writing a review about my Samsung phone and it was all positive. I did not understand why so many people had written so many bad reiews about it. A year and 1/2 after my first review, I thought it would be fair to give you an update as my opinion has changed significantly.

While I am still happy with the features and size of my phone, I have been very unhappy about the phone in general. Here's why: it all started about 10 months after I bought the phone, why? I am not sure.

The sound is getting really bad, and the phone cuts off on a regular basis even in the middle on a large city or on a main highway where you would expect best reception.
The phone simply won't work or will switch to the expensive Analog mode just 5 minutes away from my office uptown or near my house.
I have missed important phone calls and this has made my wife pretty upset at times!!!

I don't even get my messages sometimes which makes my wife very suspicious and furious!!!! When I do get them, it is sometimes 24 hours too late!!!

Sprint refused to give me a new phone because it had been 10 months and suggested I buy a different one at full price! Another alternative was a software boost which is really a temporary fix until the phone acts up again!
I have to talked to several co-workers and friends who exprienced the same problems and had to get a new phone.
I hope this will help you in your decisions!
