| yoda99's Full Review: Samsung SCH 3500 CDMA / AMPS Cellular Phone |
The Samsung SCH-3500 is a great value. To start, time to name off the features.
Dual-Mode - Good for analog or digital networks
Phone book with 99 possible entries
Sprint PCS Wireless Web
Backlit display, 10 rings
Sure, it doesn't have the many rings of the Nokia phones have, but it has enough to keep you from getting bored.
Reception is excellent in most areas where SprintPCS is in service. When theres no service, as with many other phones, phone will go into Low-power mode, to save battery.
Sound is clear, but it can be better.
The volume is easyly adjusted with a side button, so you don't need to move the phone away from your ear to adjust the volume.
One thing this phone has is style. Not everyone has it. It turns heads when you bust this out of your coatpocket and start talking on it.
Battery life is on average with most phones in this class, of midsized phones. One can expect about 120 min of talk time in mixed digital conditions. Analog talk time is unknown.
For $149, you cannot lose. Its a basic phone, and it also has wireless web if you ever would need it.

Amount Paid (US$): 149
