| james2K's Full Review: Samsung SCH 3500 CDMA / AMPS Cellular Phone |
I already have a Nokia 6185. It is only six months old, so I don't need another cell phone. But, when I bought this Samsung SCH-3500 as a gift, I was hard pressed not to give my Nokia instead.
The Nokia 6185 is a great phone. It has a long talk time, pretty clear reception, stores up to 200 telephone numbers, easy to use buttons and logical menu structure. My phone also has the vibrating alert (an important feature to avoid embarrassment when your phone rings during a meeting) and the optional leather holster.
The Samsung, however, is smaller, flips closed to protect the keys from accidental dialing, and has VOICE DIAL. It only stores 20 voice dial numbers, but that's pretty cool. It makes dialing much easier--and safer when driving the car. Just flip the phone open and say the name of the person whom you want to call. Storing the voice-dial numbers is fairly simple if you are used to entering telephone numbers in any other cell phone.
The Samsung also offers a small web browser (for an extra monthly fee from your carrier), but you cannot do much in a 1" x 2" window. That technology is still in its early stages so far as I'm concerned. Depending on where you buy it, the Samsung costs about the same as the Nokia 6185. Overall, I'm pretty bummed that my Nokia still works...maybe it will have an accident and I will need a new phone.
