| llenzke's Full Review: Samsung SCH 3500 CDMA / AMPS Cellular Phone |
The past year I've bounced from a Nokia to the digital Motorola StarTAC to this Samsung SCH-3500. The Nokia was fine, but I wanted something that would give me a wireless Internet. After 2 months of shotty reception on the hard to dial (sleek, but flimsy) Motorola, I settled for something new - and in fact a brand I never really knew manufactured phones. Now after 3 weeks of heavy use, I am indeed satisfied.
The Samsung SCH-3500 has the best of Nokia and Motorolla. The body is easy to dial with one hand, the flip cover protects me from leaving unspeakable messages of myself singing in the car on other peoples' message machines, it connects to the Internet, and best of all - it has voice recognition for dialess dialing. I simply flip open the cover and the phone asks "Who would you like to call?" and I say something like "Aaron cell" or "Voicemail" and it automatically connects. Unbelievably easy - I wish they would allow more than 20 voice entries.
Besides more voice entry options there is not a whole lot more I can complain about with this phone. It isn't as sleak as the Motorola StarTAC, but certainly sleek enough - in fact I think it's a lot easier to find this phone in my purse since it has a shiny silver sheen.
I would recommend this phone to anyone who has been unhappy with the Motorola StarTAC (in particular) since I know most of my friends and co-workers are. I was significantly skeptical about the Samsung brand, but have been extremely satisfied with this particular purchase. Kudos to Samsung for a great product!
