| Lamontagne's Full Review: Samsung SPH-A460 |
I got this phone after my Samsung SCH-3500 had an unfortunate accident involving the ocean and no longer carried a charge.
I ended up trading in my old phone and walking away paying only 50 dollars(Thanks Best Buy!).
At any rate, this phone was a HUGE step up from the 3500. This one is totally customizable, featuring downloadable rings and images to give your phone a unique appearance. It also sports a trendy blue display and color scheme, which I've received nothing but compliments on.
As far as usability, this phone is great. It works in places my 3500 never did. Using the web option is also a breeze. The phone features a one-touch web access button.
The only downside I've found on this phone lies in its calendar option. For some reason my phone doesn't cooperate when trying to enter appointments on the phone, and I end up typing in some babble on it and hoping I remember what the reminder was for. But on the other hand, the 3500 didn't even HAVE a calendar option.
It also have 3 different alarms on it, so I don't need to change it twice a day like my old phone.
If you've got the cash to spend (retail $200) this phone is definitely worth it.
As a sidenote, I recommend getting the Ringers and More option with it, and get the "CHiPs" theme and the "Pink Panther" theme if anything.
