Samsung Illusion I110 Verizon Prepaid Smartphone

Phone came in the mail, locked.

MOST ANNOYING thing is when people text you the phone SPEAKS - "new message from blah blah blah" and you cannot disable this annoying feature. Vibration intensity cannot be adjust. Auto shut off music is also not available - let music play for a certain amount of time b4 it auto stop such as you going to sleep. WIFI & DRIVING MODE is not available on the quick pull down menu like the rest of smartphone. Had to go through lots of menus just to turn on wifi. Pretty inconvenient. WIDGETS are not downloadable. What's there is only whats there. So far it's just complaints from me but can't expect more from a $55 phone. Have had a few smartphones. By far this is the worse. Wouldn't recommend it but for me it's just temporary.

I absolutely love this phone. It is not too big and not too small; its just the right size. The Illusion is fast & has plenty of features. Thank you Samsung, another great product!

This phone has a terrible battery life, horrible camera, and I often have no service in most areas. I am surfing the internet on my phone in places where I should have great service, and all of a sudden, my internet crashes. I would not recommend this phone at all, unless you need a phone just to own a phone.

The Samsung Illusion is a good value for those looking for their first smartphone, but expectations shouldn't be extremely high for anyone else. It runs 2.3.5 Gingerbread and the 1Ghz processor suffers from some stuttering/slowdown, especially when exiting apps (in the time from exiting to displaying your home screen icons). The design of the phone is unique with its curved edges and textured rubber backing. The screen is durable but is prone to surface marks even with the most gentle of swiping. The earpiece is quite loud and it handles basic android functions fairly well. It has a massive 1GB of internal storage for apps, which is a definite plus, while still allowing up to a 32GM microSD card. Pictures are crisp and video quality is passable. Overall, a good entry-level phone for a good entry-level price.
