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.
The Bottom Line: If you can get it free, go for it. If you have to pay full price, you could do alot worse for the money - like Sanyo.

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 checking everything out, we decided to simply add a phone to our SprintPCS account (had an old Qualqam from earlier phone upgrade) because it was only $20 a month to do this - cheaper than any other method. When we got to the store, the Samsung SPH-N200 had been reduced $50 to $149. On top of that, Sprint was offering a $50 bonus to buy any new phone. On top of that, the store was offering $100 off on any new phone. When you add it all up, that means this phone was FREE.

Beside the above mentioned feature (FREE), it is a nice little phone. If I could complain at all, I would say that the receiver isn't as strong as the Samsung 8500 that we use as our other phone. It's still very good, but seems to find all the dead spots in our house if the antenna isn't up.

All I look for in a phone is "phone-yness" - how does it perform as a phone - calling, talking with other people. This phone does very well in that category. It doesn't play games or program the VCR... I have other equipment for those functions.

If you want a phone, this is a good one.

Recommended: Yes
