| DharmaJairam's Full Review: Samsung SCH-u620 Cell Phone |
I recently got this phone when the store had a special on it for $99. To be honest, the size of it was one of it's selling points. I was tired of using phones that didn't fit in my pockets well or were too big and clumsy to use. I was also sold by the fact that it had an internal antenna (one less thing to break).
However, as I started using the phone I realized that I made a mistake. The phone is way too small for any normal sized person to use. The power button is so tiny that you have to use you fingernails to turn it on, even then sometimes you miss. Once you get the phone on, the numbers are pretty small to dial as well. Worst of all though, is actually using the phone. Because the microphone is relatively far from your mouth people are always saying to me, "I can hardly hear you."
The Internal Antenna was a great idea, but you compromise you reception with it. If you ask the store clerks about it, they will tell you reception is fine, but they are wrong and they lie. Afterall, they're salespeople.
The calendar and games on it are completely a joke. Don't even waste your time reading the manual about or trying to play with it.
The only people that should buy this phone are really really small people. I have returned the phone and am a lot happier with a real sized phone.
