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 Bottom Line: The belt clip and User Guide needs improving. Redistribute new and improved User Guides to current owners. Add an internal address book to this phone.

| topor2bynethin's Full Review: Samsung SPH-N200 Silver |
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. This is my second holster, too. The first belt clip broke and I didn't notice it until I tried to place the holster back into the clip.
The "User Guide" needs to be a little more informative. Example: "Auto-Answer". What it's function? One would think, "To automatically answer the phone". Your choices are, "car kit only? YES" and "car kit only? NO". Wow, that really tells me something. So with my hands free plugged in, and the wind in my hair, I am cruising the 100 mile round trip to my job everyday when the phone rings. I take it out of it's clip and flip open the phone to answer. Not so "hands-free" after all, I think to myself.
One other thing, I would like to see an address book added to this phone. It may sound far-fetched, but think about it. For those of us who have to carry a personal phone, a company phone, a company pager, personal keys, company keys, a wallet, papers (briefcases, attaches, purses), pocket change, pocket knives, pens and other miscellaneous items...Do we really have room for another data storing device such as PDA's? Hand-held or not, it's more to carry and more to remember! I already feel like some kind of Techno-Rambo-Geek every time I dress up for my in-office type job! I have more communicating/locating and data entry/storing devices on my belt than the US Government has in their GPS and Tactical Unit's homing device supply cabinets! I look like some kid that forgot to take their Ritalin that's bouncing off of walls like a rubber ball in a concrete room when I get near warning signs of explosive devices, and "please turn off two-way radios". There's has to be a simpler solution! If it's just a simple upgrade to this phone that would allow it to store addresses internally.
Other than that, I love the phone.
