| rtbullock's Full Review: Samsung SCH-T300 Cell Phone |
I have been using the SCH-T300 on Verizon for 4 months now, and I am very satisfied overall. I live in Seattle, and use the phone primarily in Seattle and Portland, but have traveled to NY with it as well.
The address book holds 200 names, and each name can have multiple numbers. This is much better than Nokia phones I have used in the past that need a separate entry for each name/number. The phone book only allows you 12 characters for the name, however. This is frequently not enough, and I have to make up an easily recognizable truncated name. Now that I'm used to the way the address book works, I don't have any complaints.
Web access is text based only, but it serves my needs just fine. I use it to check my Yahoo email through MyYahoo. I also get weather stocks and news from time to time, and it works quite well. Just push one button, and you're on.
There are plenty of ringer options to annoy those around you. The ringer could be a little louder however. I generally keep it on Vibrate. You don't need a special battery for the Vibrate option, which is nice.
Calendar: I don't use it, as I have a Palm, but I played with it for this review, and it has all of the functions you would expect, and works smoothly.
Voice Recorder: This is a great feature that I really love. You can record a voice message into the internal memory on the phone, and name the message to play it back later. It's great to take quick notes with. I use it to remind myself of a book or a CD that someone has mentioned, and I want to check out. You could call yourself and leave a message, but that would use minutes, so this is a great feature.
Reception: I always have great reception with this phone. Even at just one or two bars, I am always heard clearly. If it's down to one bar, I pull out the antenna and it goes up a bar or two. No problems.
The display is big and bright, and the sound quality is great. Verizon is the best telecomunications company I've ever been with, great customer service, no hassles. Overall, a good phone at a great price, with good service to match.
