Pros: Style, size, features
Cons: So-so functionality and terrible battery life

The Samsung 3500 was the first phone I used with my Sprint PCS service and I used it for a few months before it was damaged beyond repair (read: run over by car). Since then, I've tried the Sprint PCS Touchpoint 2200 and now own the Samsung 8500....

Pros: Size, voice activated calling, weight
Cons: Drops calls and misses incoming

The 3500 is fun to use due to the voice activated calling feature. The flip up feature protects against unwanted dialing when the phone is in your pocket, which it easily fits, or flopping around in a briefcase. The main issue with it in my experience...

Pros: features, price, looks
Cons: screen size, durability of flip

I have used a Samsung SCH3500 on SprintPCS since November of 1999. It was a DRAMATIC improvement over my previous phone (Sony CMZ100 also with SprintPCS).

PLUSES
------
- The phone looks good
- The design of the flip allows one...

Pros: Vibrates, Dual Mode
Cons: Wannabe space age look

When I went out to buy myself a cell phone I was trying to avoid buying this particular model. I knew of the existance of a slimmer model that actually looked techno-spiffy, as opposed to the bulbous space age wannabe look this model has going for...

Pros: Attractive design --- quite spiffy looking
Cons: Low battery life, low sound quality in crowds, inaccurate power indicator

I purchased the Samsung after reading all the positive reviews on this website. I was, to say the least, disappointed. My two chief complaints are:

1) the battery life on the phone is pretty short. Moreover, the battery indicator on my...

Pros: looks, weight, voice dial, good display size and design
Cons: battery life, poor call signals

When we bought this phone, actually we bought 2 of them, they were purchased because of the looks and the great features. The voice dial is a great feature when it works, but it tends to be finicky. IF you record a voice at a certain volume you must...

Pros: Lots of features that are pretty easy to use.
Cons: Poor reception and frequent jumping from digital to analog roaming.

I used a Nokia 5160 on the AT&T network for 6 months after moving to Houston. My employer then purchased Samsung 3500's for everyone and put us all on the Sprint network. While I have had a very disappointing experience with Sprint I think that part of...

Pros: Nice UI, Voice dialing, Web
Cons: Battery life, charger

I bought this phone as I was tempted by the Sprint PCS pricing and web features. I needed to get out of the pricey PacBell plan I was in and thought the Samsung 3500 was the best fit for my needs.

The phone has many great features: excellent...

Pros: cheap
Cons: don't know

One day I just want to have a cell phone cause I never home, I go out and party all the time and I really want my parents and my friends can reach me anytime they want to. Since I hang out in the clubs most of the time I need a phone that is reliable and...

Pros: Looks, voice dialing
Cons: Small screen, clear button not on the outside

When I first saw this phone it was love at first sight and immediately had to buy it. I bought it used it and ended up returning it after a few days. At first glance it looks very elegant. But at such a low price point one has to wonder. One cost...

Pros: Not to large or to small, Good features, Vibrating ring
Cons: poor flip mechanism, volume control not flexible enough

I was a big fan of the Samsung 3500 for the first few months I owned it.
But soon after the flaws became apparent. The volume on some incoming calls just couldn't be increased enough.
And after enough opening and closing, the ear piece speaker...

Pros: Great size and design.
Cons: Poor audio, poor audio wiring.

I work as a tech for a large wireless company, and I'd hate to admit, but I see a lot of these coming in with warranty issues.

First, though, the good.

This phone is sleek, stylish, and looks great. The flip is a new design, with...

Pros: Small, light, good battery life.
Cons: Flip part of phone is annoying.

I got this phone from Sprint for free after I broke my other (older) samsung phone. The Samsung 3500 offers everything you want including dual mode for analog or digital, a voice dial that is hit and miss, and vibrate for incoming calls and voice mail....

Pros: Many features
Cons: Not durable.

I was looking through my reviews and suddenly noticed that I had not written a review on Samsung's 3500 model phone. I find this amazing because this phone has been one of the biggest sellers for the company over the last 10 months.

I also...

Pros: the phone looks so money
Cons: except it doesn't work (still a good prop though)

I was extremely pleased with my new phone at first, little did I know that my enthusiasm would be short lived. I have had the phone for about 5 months now, and over the past two or so it has had a mind of its own. I intermittently hear my echo during...
