Pros: Features, design, web browser
Cons: Desk charger, price

Great phone, use it with Sprint PCS. Very compact, easy to carry in your pocket yet flips open to a good size. Gets good range, signal, quality, etc. Plus, the silver version looks like a Star Trek communicator

Includes wireless web browser,...

Pros: Size, PIM, speech recognition
Cons: No visible Caller ID till flip is opened

After owning everything in cellphones from the original 3-box units to a dual band Startac, I can now claim with some authority that the SCH-8500 is the best phone available at this moment(April 28, 2000, early AM). This unit is compatible with Sprint...

Pros: Size, Caldener, Memo button, Voice Dial: SEE ABOVE
Cons: No Holster. Synch software is still in Beta stages.

I know that many people have already stated that this phone is a great bargain. However, I must add my two cents because it takes a lot to please me in terms of electronics and this phone is incredible.

I have owned many cell phones dating...

Pros: Great reception, compact, nice looking
Cons: small screen, and some date book problems

I used a phone with a PDA briefly and rather enjoyed the experience, so after returning that one due to its poor reception, I went back for another Samsung. So far, Samsung phones have had the best reception I've experienced, and are usually...

Pros: rugged, lots of memory for address book
Cons: listed above

I bought this product because I wanted something that would fold up and fit in my front pocket. I totally detest those totally geeky cell phone belt clips.

The experience with this phone has been fairly good overall. The voice activated dial...

Pros: small form, large screen, dual-band, easy to use menu, T-9 system, wireless internet, voice dial
Cons: awkward charger, no games, flat buttons, can't see who's calling until you answer it

So much has been written about this phone already, so I thought I would just share with you my thoughts about it, stuff I haven't read anywhere else.

This is a great phone. I moved to it from a Sprint Touchpoint, and this is a great, small,...

Pros: Most features of any phone; large screen; customizable rings
Cons: Weight; thickness; awkward to hold

This phone does just about everything. It's all of my past phones squished into one. Since most of the reviews are positive, I want to point out the one major drawback: weight. I went from a defective Motorola Digital StarTac to this Samsung. (Sprint...

Pros: Flip phone, Won't break (very durable), Looks nice, Useful functions, Good-size screen
Cons: No games, average talk time

I bought this phone almost 6 months ago. Initially, I had very mixed feelings about this phone. I was disappointed in Sprint PCS, because I felt that they did not give me many options equipment-wise. I was debating between the Samsung SCH-8500, the...

Pros: Great price-performance rating!
Cons: Small. Is that a problem?

After several months of complaint-free use, I am glad to come here and express my satisfaction with this phone.

This may not be the smallest phone in the market, but it certainly meets the balance in the price-performance-size curve. It has...

Pros: Compact design, lightweight, many useful features
Cons: Inefficient menu design, inadequate speaker volume

I purchased my Samsung SCH-8500 phone through RadioShack in October 2001. I am a long-time Sprint PCS customer and bought the phone to replace my aging Qualcomm QCP-2760. The RadioShack sales associate recommended the phone, calling it a "best seller."...

Pros: Sleek Design, Tons of Features, Size, Voice memo, Ear Piece, Voice Dial
Cons: Ringer tones could be better/louder. A little pricey

I purchased the Samsung-8500 in late August of last year when I signed up with Sprint PCS(Bad Choice of service in the Chicago area). I had just left PrimeCo and was looking for a new service which meant I needed a new phone as well. So, I decided to go...

Pros: Slick, small, tons of features, and MORE!
Cons: Have yet to come across any!

After owning a Sprint PCS Touchpoint phone, I was used to the bulky non-flip style phones. Boy, was I missing out.

The best day so far this year is when I dropped by Touchpoint phone and the antennae broke. I was mad at first, but when...

Pros: Stylish
Cons: Price

The Samsung SCH 8500 is one of the most amazing phones I have ever seen. There are so many features on this that it is not only a phone but a calculator, mini-browser, calendar, as well as daily planner. I have never seen a phone with so many great...

Pros: Voice dial, organized phone book, calendar, event lists
Cons: No software available and screen is on the inside

I must say that the SCH-8500 is a big step up from the flimsy SCH-3500. I’ve only had the 8500 for 2 days now, but I’ve been using it constantly and I can’t seem to find any flaws in this phone yet. Well, maybe one flaw.

The only minor thing...

Pros: Wearable, robust, good display.
Cons: Costly data cable, average software

When I bought this phone I was looking for a wearable phone with a good display. I compared it to my older Nokia 6185 and the Motorola 7868W. I bought it at a Computer City store for about $70 less than the Sprint store was offering it for (discount...
