After having a Nokia 6160 for 2 years, i realized that the phone was deteriorating, and my plan was just a flat out rip off. I dropped my service with AT&T and switched to a sprint phone, in which i chose the Samsung SCH-8500. I chose this phone because i was smaller, and looks better than the star tac's do. The display is very nice, and the user interface is simple and fast. The battery life was no where near the 16 day standby of my old nokia, but the phone is half the size. It has an average of about 4 to 5 days standby in digital mode. In analog, this decreases dramatically!!!! This phone is equipped with wireless web, which lets you surf wireless web compatible websites, and check e-mail boxes from you phone. VERY NICE for a traveling executive waiting on an important e-mail or something. If you spend little time at home, then you would want to invest in a cell phone because it lets you keep in touch while your on the road, and plan meetings on the road. This phone also has a built in organizer that will alert you of meetings, lunch times, people to call, and other various things. With 4 mins of digital memo recording, you can leave messages to yourself about grocerys, meetings, flowers for the girlfriend, whatever you want!!! I would suggest getting a car charger, because sometimes the battery can drain a little faster than you think, and then you left high and dry when you might really need that phone. otherwise, The Samsung SCH-8500 is a great phone.
