Samsung Stratosphere II i415 Black Verizon Wireless

I had a different QWERTY phone before this one, and the move to this phone was definitely rough. I thought I would just need time to adjust to the different feel of the keys, but even after a year and half and with tiny fingers, I can't type on this phone without pressing 2 keys at a time. I tend to use the swype function as often as the keyboard. The operating system has more features than my last phone (which was also running android os), and I was excited to have more flexibility and better design in my features. Not to mention, this phone makes it very easy to set up a wireless hotspot for times when I really need the data. The phone voice quality is not particularly great, but passable. I've found the battery life to be great on this phone - I can forget about it for two days before I need to recharge. The camera has been sufficient for my needs and the focus is good. A year and a half into my contract, the phone is now almost unusable - it's unresponsive and horrifically slow. I can wait 10 seconds or more between a touch on the screen and a response. There is no way this thing will make it until my contract is up. The quality of the phone is just not durable or long-lasting. The screen cracks easily and I would not use this phone without a protective case.

This phone worked great for about nine months. After that, it went downhill. The worst problem is the charge port on the phone stopped working at nine months. I have insurance so I was lucky enough to get replacements but in months 12 +. I am currently on my 3-4 th phone all with the same charge port problem. I have had to get it replaced so many times that I have lost count on how many I have actually received. If you buy this phone, GET THE INSURANCE.

My husband requires a pullout keyboard. He doesn't replace his phones very often. He really likes this phone. He has been happy with it, and he has had it for 7 months.

this was a good phone to transition from my blackberry to a smartphone. i was used to having a keyboard to type on. works fairly well but have had problems with it locking up. the only way that i could resolve this was to remove the battery.

My phone is excellent it has plenty of storage space and great features. I also have a Samsung smart TV that I highly recommend!
