Pros: Light-weight, sleek, practical, durable, Voice Dial
Cons: screen not visible without flipping up, no link to PALM device

I traded up from the SCH-3500 to the 8500 because of recurring problems with my 3500 speaker going out. I've had this phone for some time now and it's awesome. It's very Compact & to my surprise, Durable. I typically abuse my electronics, not by choice,...

Pros: Voice activated dialing, calender, alert reminder, wireless web, durable
Cons: It's a flip phone for those of you that don't like them! :(

Hey we all know that Samsung makes great phones. Samsung has the most up to date technology. Being a former employee of Sprint I know that this is one of the most popular selling phones. Its for a few reasons. The 8500 is the updated version of the...

Pros: CUTE COLOR, LIGHT WEIGHT
Cons: ANTENNA WOULD BE BETTER IF DIDNT COME OUT....

WELL I JUST RECENTLY SWTICHED MY PHONE AND I HAD ORIGNALLY A SPRINT PCS LG TYPE AND IT WAS A GOOD PHONE BUT MY CALLS WOULD ALWAYS DISCONNECT SO I HAD TO SWTICH PHONES AND I GOT THIS TYPE.... I LOVE IT.... ITS WAY BETTER THEN THE OTHER ONE AND ITS...

Pros: Relatively small, easy to carry, durable
Cons: Short Battery Life

I love my 8500. First, its durable. I've dropped it from pockets (waist level and higher) three times without breaking.And since I usually have it around my waist, several times I've had it open when I bump into something, and its survived all those,...

Pros: easy to use and follow menus
Cons: maybe needs to be in different colors

Samsung products are wonderful. This phone in particular has great and fun features. I bought this product for employees at the company. It is easy to use so I have very little support work for them. The menus are easy to follow. The features are...

Pros: Relatively small and light with plenty of functions.
Cons: Not very reliable service. Charger doesn't always work well.

I gave up my Nokia and AT&T service for the Samsung and Sprint and I have regretted it every day since. I'm not sure whether it is Samsung, Sprint, or both, but the service is not nearly as clear or reliable as my Nokia/AT&T combo. The sound is usually...

Pros: stylish, small, easy to use, and durable
Cons: the menu could have been more user-friendly

My silver SCH-8500 was acquired from Sprint PCS. I decided to purchase this phone because of the recommendation of a friend of mine, who had had it (with Sprint as well) for months and experienced no problem at all. It's easy to see that the phone is...

Pros: Great call Quality, Very easy to use, Takes a beating and Shape
Cons: Expensive

This call phone is the best produced for Sprint PCS network so far. We have seen speakerphone, voice command, PDA’s, GPS systems and even an MP3 Player??? .
Doesn’t matter to the Samsung SCH-8500 who rapidly moves to the front of the calls in...

Pros: Lots of features, product design
Cons: power (see details), ringing feature

I did some serious research on this phone before I purchased it. I decided on a flip phone, because by being a flip phone it protects the screen. The closest thing was the Motorola startac. I liked the design of the samsung more, because the screen is...

Pros: Small, light, very clear
Cons: gets confused sometimes

I got my phone as in December 2000 and I love it. The voice operating thing gets a little confused sometimes though. It will ask "Who would you like to call?" I say dad...it calls Jeff. It loves to call Jeff. I live in Texas and recently went to...

Pros: VERY durable. Cool backlit LCD screen. Lots of great features like wireless web, calender, etc.
Cons: Battery life goes to crap after a few months. Flimsy antenna. Limited customization.

This phone is very, very durable. It has taken A LOT of falls, slips, and drops without ANY problems. It has a lot of great features that I actually used like the wireless web, voice activation, and calender. It looks sleek as well.

I've...

Pros: cute, easy & long-lasting
Cons: boring ring tones hard to open in a hurry

I just love my cute little Samsung 8580. I get many compliments on it's tiny silver packaging, and on the nice light-up green turquoise display. Performance-wise, the reception cuts out occasionaly, but the signal-strength indicator lets me know where...

Pros: Small sleek and new great features
Cons: It's a little costly

This phone is for the people in a hurry with an easy talk phone feature and many other features. This phone does take a byte out of your wallet but you get what you pay for.

The new feature in which you talk into the phone is great, you...

Pros: Sleek, lightweight, good reception
Cons: Price

I upgraded to this phone from a fairly standard one and I am so glad I did.

The phone is so small but is packed with great features. The large display makes it easy to read, whether it is the calender or using the web.

Small that...

Pros: see details
Cons: see details

Pick up a StarTac. Then pick up the Samsung 8500. Flip them open a few times. I believe you will pick up on a theme throughout the 8500: it is a QUALITY phone. The startac feels like a plastic toy straight from China.

I love this phone...
