| diamondpete's Full Review: Samsung SCH 3500 CDMA / AMPS Cellular Phone |
This is my second phone (using with the Sprint PCS). I used to have the Sony phone before, but I dropped it, and the damn jog dial came off. I was actually kind of tired of that phone anyway, because it wasn't getting good signal inside my room (I use the cell phone as my main phone, and I don't have a regular phone), and cutting out in the middle of the conversation. I had a couple of my friends recommend the phone to me, so I bought one.
It has nice ergonomics; it fits very well within my dress pants pocket. I like the flip phone style, because the earpiece guards my head from the antenna (the source of possible harmful radiation that everybody talks about). I like the ability to silence incoming calls (which the Sony phone did not have) when it's inappropriate to receive the phone call (inside the hospital, the theatre, etc.). It has a good selection of sounds to choose from, and you can also assign different sounds to incoming calls, voicemail, pages, etc. The sounds are crystal-clear, and the amount of signal it sees in my room is much better than the Sony phone. I haven't had it cut me off in a middle of a conversation yet.
Overall, it's a great phone. I wish I had bought it instead of the Sony phone.
UPDATE 04 JUN 2001
I still have this phone, and I think it's still pretty good. Now I have the earpiece/mic thing, which I love. My girlfriend has the small, itty-bitty Nokia, and I love the fact that it's sooooo small, but the Samsung phone is still working like a charm. I'm sure now this phone is considered a bargain phone now in a lot of services... if you're considering getting cellular service, and money is an option, this is not a bad phone to get.
