Samsung A187 Gsm Phone, Blue (unlocked)

I have owned this phone for a month and like it very much. After using simple phones for years, I wanted a phone with more features (especially a keyboard), but do not need all the bells and whistles, or extra expenses, of a smartphone. For my uses, this phone is a perfect middle ground. It took a while to learn to use all the features. The Email access is a bit complicated, and I had to purchase a memory card and reader to transfer files between the phone and my computer, which I don't mind. The camera is good. I love the freedom of using a Bluetooth headset for calls. The SMS mobile browser is sufficient for my needs. If you need more features and apps, go with a Samsung smartphone. I like this one.

I've had this phone about six months. I like the portability, size, keyboard very much. I'm afraid that the access menu for the programming is not very user friendly; but with perseverance and practice one gets used to it eventually. All in all it's certainly better than the old phone I had and I'll keep it until something better comes along that's in my price range.

I just got this phone and overall I've found it to be a good phone. I have had a few calls that wouldn't go through but I don't know if that was the phone itself or the service. Overall I'm satisified with the phone and will update this if things should change.

I am very unhappy and disappointed in this phone. It has poor memory. The pictures aren't too good looking. pretty mediocre. It falls apart easy the minute you drop it. The audio recorder is horrid. Its a total pain to navigate this phone. The buttons are tiny and hard to press. Takes a really long time to get use too. It looks like a decent blackberry clone. But all in all its total junk. constantly gets turned off too, in my pocket. Alot of other flaws, but not enough room to put them. All in all, bad phone, i wouldn't recommend it.

I picked up this phone because I text alot. My previous phone was nearly impossible to text with. I bought this one in hopes that it would solve my texting issues. I've had no such luck in that area. Being a male I have large hands, but not huge, and I've found that trying to text using this phone with it's very small buttons is extremely difficult. The t9 feature helps somewhat, but I find myself pushing more than one button which makes misspelling a word common practice, and therefore t9 impractical. I've also noticed that when you go in to create a message, sometimes it starts off the first letter capitalized and sometimes it doesn't. Not sure what's going on with that. To me is seems like this would probably not be a bad phone with a girl that has long finger nails....but most guys I know don't so it's not a very practical phone for that reason.
