  • Samsung SCH-3500: This cell phone is a MUST HAVE!

    May 21 '00
    Pros: Style, Functionality, Quality, Voice Recognition Dialing
    Cons: Price (but it's a bargain compared to others in its class)

    Summary: It all started when I spotted a colleague using this cell phone. I fell hopelessly in love at first sight. (With the phone, not the colleague.) The brushed metallic silver exterior, the compact size, light weight in my palm, yet heavily laden with the ... read more

  • Wireless PCS: A Pioneering PCS Phone that Set the Standard

    Oct 03 '02
    Pros: Fun functional features that will survive the rapidly changing technology.
    Cons: Known hinge defect. Short battery life.

    Summary: A Few Words from the Writer: This is my very first review which I have never publish before until now because the cell phone market changed so rapidly that I couldn't decide its worth of publishing when the product itself was about to phase out. ... read more

  • "you're on a cell phone?"

    Mar 23 '02
    Pros: flip-style, decent battery life, sturdy, good reception
    Cons: I haven't found any!

    Summary: I really like this phone. I'm blind and so one of the main things that sold me on this phone was the fact that you can navigate through the menus with the number keys. it's dual band capability makes it easy to use even when I'm in a small town that ... read more

  • NOT Worth the Money!!

    Mar 18 '02
    Pros: small, cute, flips open, lots of rings
    Cons: bad earpiece, cheap buttons, screen gets scratched

    Summary: **UPDATE** I just submitted this review, but I wrote it months ago. I tried searching for my phone because the black one in the picture is not the same one I purchased a couple years ago. I'm assuming it's the same phone, this one is just the ... read more

  • typical earpiece problem

    Feb 09 '02
    Pros: phone easy to use
    Cons: DEFECTIVE EAR PIECE!!!! POOR SIGNAL STRENGTH!!

    Summary: this phone is just over 1 year old and broken. the earpiece went bad and evidently was going bad over the past few months. what i attributed to dropped calls was in fact the unit starting to go bad. this phone cost 149.95 ... read more

  • Loved it so much I bought a 2nd one

    Feb 07 '02
    Pros: Durable, reliable, compact, feature-rich... an overall good value
    Cons: stuck using it with only SprintPCS

    Summary: I was a cellphone junkie. Every year I was getting a new cellphone provider and a new phone so I could be on top of the technology. I went through an old analog Cingulair phone, and was happy to see it go. Then when my year was up with Verizon I ... read more

  • Phone Sweet Phone

    Jan 25 '02
    Pros: Sleek, sturdy, great reception, cool features.
    Cons: Battery life is embarrassing sometimes.

    Summary: I decided to get this phone after many of the people I knew started buying it. I would always ask about it, and sure enough, they would always respond with good things. Then, my brother got it, and I knew that I had the same taste as him, so I bought it ... read more

  • Update

    Jan 25 '02
    Pros: Style, size, menu
    Cons: Sound clarity, cuts off, don't get voicemails....

    Summary: I remember writing a review about my Samsung phone and it was all positive. I did not understand why so many people had written so many bad reiews about it. A year and 1/2 after my first review, I thought it would be fair to give you an update as my ... read more

  • Samsung SCH-3500 - a nice little phone

    Jan 11 '02
    Pros: small, voice dialing, easy to find headsets
    Cons: Does not work in malls or supermarkets

    Summary: In October of 2000, I ditched my old wireless company (Cellular One, which has now morphed to Cingular Wireless) and signed up with Sprint PCS. The reason was simple -- more minutes for the same money. The phone I picked was the ... read more

  • cute but irritating!

    Jan 11 '02
    Pros: cute, compact, flip-cover means don't really need case,
    Cons: SHORT battery life, limited options, SOUND fades, DROPS calls.

    Summary: The Samsung Sch-3500 is cute and compact which i love the convenience of it, not to mention the price wasn't bad (especially since I bought it with a rebate), BUT you more than make up for that in DROPPED CALLS and VERY short talk time. The battery life ... read more

  • There are better options

    Jan 07 '02
    Pros: Wireless Web, Voice Dial, large phone book
    Cons: Lacks durability, bulky, out of date

    Summary: This phone has been a good phone to me but it certainly isn't the best phone that i've ever had. There are major design problems with the flip up ear piece and Samsung even knows about it. They have released press releases on the phone's lack of ... read more

  • Sold on Samsung!

    Dec 30 '01
    Pros: Size, weight, durability, ease of use, variety of ringtones, voice dial, battery life
    Cons: None that I can find!

    Summary: Last year, when I did some thorough research on phones and wanted to switch cellular SERVICE but not the cellphone itself, I found I was out of luck - I HAD to switch to a new phone. No new service provider would use my old phone. I went on ... read more

  • Run Away!!!

    Dec 28 '01
    Pros: Nice looking, small, but not too small, nice price, voice dial.
    Cons: flimsy, known engineering defect.

    Summary: I'm on My 8th sch-3500 in two years. thank god I bought the 3.00 replacement plan. There is a known manufacturing defect in the phone that causes the wire in the hinge to crimp, and short out the earpiece. I live on my cellphone, and I seem to wear then ... read more

  • THE CUTEST CELL PHONE!

    Dec 18 '01
    Pros: Cute, lightweight!
    Cons: read on...

    Summary: This is my first cell phone and I would have to say that I'm definitely pleased with it. It is a lightweight little gadget that is easy to use with minimal functions. I don't like cell phones with complicated menus and extra functions that I don't really ... read more
