Pros small size,brilliant screen,excellent ringers
Cons battery life, heats up a bit while in use, mediocre service(Sprint)
Recommended it? Yes

Well to start off with, Samsung always makes excellent phones. This one is no exception. After having it for 3 months now, I'd say its one of the best out there. If you are not looking for a camera phone, then this is the way to go. To begin, the color screen is EXCELLENT. It is bright and... Read full review »

Features that people say it doesn't have are really there, they're just hidden!

Pros Sleek, stylish, light, feature-laden, Samsung quality
Cons Batter life (not too bad though), no external color display (I know, picky)
Recommended it? Yes

I picked up this phone after accidentally throwing my old, trusty SCH-3500 out of my car window out of rage with the Sprint PCS service. The Dallas area highway it landed upon didn't exactly treat it kindly, shattering it into 4 pieces (still pretty good considering I was traveling at 70 mph). I... Read full review »

Pros Sleek style. Tiny size. Lightweight. Bright/colorful display. Beautiful sounds. Runs...
Cons Short battery life. Mediocre reception.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought the Samsung A500 phone for a practical reason as well as to have a toy that I could play with when traveling or when bored. I wanted a phone I could show off to friends. A500 is ideal for that end. It also has a small form factor and is very light. I will not bore the reader with the... Read full review »

Pros Colour screen, polyphonic ringtones, size & weight
Cons Battery life, price
Recommended it? No

I am an expert on phones...trust me, I work in a call center (no names) and I deal with issues/complaints from hundreds to thousands of customers regarding all types of matters related to cellular phones. This phone is an excellent phone in essence to the fact that 'yes' it does work. But you have... Read full review »

The Samsung SPH-A500: Stylish and functional. Great for any occasion.

Pros Stylish design, great display screens, plenty of strong features.
Cons Expensive, battery life slightly low, navigation can be difficult.
Recommended it? Yes

Because the cell phone industry is so fast paced and competitive these days, it really takes something out of the ordinary to attract the attention of consumers. Samsung attempts to do this with the extremely flashy SPH-A500, hoping that the obvious eye candy will at least raise a few eyebrows with... Read full review »

Pros EXCELLENT SCREEN CLARITY, AND SMALL COMPACT SIZE
Cons PCS VISION INTERNET BROWSER, FREQUENT LOCK UPS ON OLD FIRMWARE
Recommended it? Yes

At first, I hated this phone. I was unable to place calls and I unable to use the internet. After living with frequent lockups for about 5 months and experiencing numerous connection problems, I was able to get the software firmware upgrade to version VI16.

Now I love the phone. I never... Read full review »

Pros Very small and lightweight. Great color screen. Trendy.
Cons Signal clarity is iffy. Hard to use. Buttons too small.
Recommended it? No

I recently had to purchase a new Sprint PCS phone because I was stupid enough to drop my old Sanyo 4700 into a lake. That was a truly great phone, and I recommend Sanyo phones to everyone. But this is not about Sanyo. This is about my Samsung A500. The reason I initially went with this phone was... Read full review »

Recommended it? No

When I saw this phone I instantly fell in love. It is small, stylish, and wow that screen looks great! The flames of my passion for technology had been stoked. You know what they say though...the hotter a flame burns, the quicker it burns out. Such was the case with my A-500 experience. The... Read full review »

This is the Phone you Want (although you don't need it)

byjadaniels7 Apr 8, 2003
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros TFT color display, Ringers & Wallpaper, Web Display, External Display
Cons Battery, Minor Issues (see below)
Recommended it? Yes

Before I start, I think it's important to separate the quality of the phone from the quality of the network. This is my 12th phone on the PCS network and I've been to multiple markets and the one thing to keep in mind is that each phone works differently in each market. That said, in my market...
