Cons Battery Life soso. The battery gauge screwy. Sprint PCS Vision
Recommended it? Yes

I brought this phone simply for its look, but when i ordered it off e-bay it was a lot better then i ever imagined. I've never seen a color screen on a phone this small thats so vibrant and sharp. It makes surfing the wireless web less painful on other phones the same size or even Larger. And, for... Read full review »

Pros Sleek and stylish, best displays in the market.
Cons Some interface quirks, PCS Vision service pretty unreliable.
Recommended it? Yes

The Samsung SPH-A500 is the flagship phone for Sprint's new PCS Vision service. The PCS Vision service is the first third-generation (3G) cellular network to launch in the US. The much-hyped 3G networks are supposed to offer a wealth of new functionality and services and the A500 is equipped with... Read full review »

Pros Lexus of Mobile Phones
Cons Short Battery Life, not user friendly, carry additional accessories
Recommended it? Yes

This is a cute and nice mobile phone. The outside screen tell you everything without opening the phone. Screen has color display and its lightweight. The mobile phone is not as user friendly as I expect. I purchase the phone from a former user and for the money I paid it was worth it. Check the... Read full review »

Pros Small size. Nice color screen indoors.
Cons Impossible to see screen outdoors. Signal strength indicator horribly inaccurate.
Recommended it? No

This phone looks cool....the screen really captivates you if you are indoors. Unfortunately, as soon as you walk out the store, the screen disappears completely...you cannot see it during daylight hours if you are outdoors, even on a cloudy day. Also, the signal strength indicator is terrible...it... Read full review »

Pros Beautiful screen, polyphonic ring tones, 144kb/sec internet access, free second battery.
Cons LOUSY battery life.
Recommended it? Yes

Three hundred dollars? Are you nuts? Who would buy a phone for three hundred dollars? Well, a lot of people. This phone is gorgeous.

With an LCD screen this is the nicest image that you will find on a phone in the US. It's got colors, crisp resolution, and a really nice form factor. The... Read full review »

Recommended it? No

Two things attracted me to this phone. One was the color LCD display, and two was that it came in a small size that fits in my pocket. I've had this phone for a couple weeks now and while I am still happy with the display and the size, there are some MAJOR shortcomings for a $300.00 phone.

Pros Cute Appearance, Cool Ringers, Excellent Color Display, External Caller ID, etc..
Cons Short Battery Life, Expensive
Recommended it? Yes

Since 1998, I've been using many different kinds of mobile phones in New York area. And, about two weeks ago, I purchased Samsung SPH-A500, a kind of mobile phone that I have always dreamed of.

In Asian countries including Korea, a mobile phone such as Samsung SPH-A500 is pretty common... Read full review »

Pros Great colorful display, great ringers, Small and Lightweight, wonderfull features.
Cons The battery life seems to be a bit on the short side.
Recommended it? Yes

I think this is by far the best phone on the market as of right now. I dont include the PDA phones because those are a different breed of phones in my opinion. This phone has a beautiful color display, the best I have ever seen on any phone. The ringers are by far the best I have heard on a phone,... Read full review »

Pros cool ringer, nice size,hi-res color graphics
Cons 12 character name field!, no mobile/home/work icons in call history
Recommended it? No

With all the great new technology and multimedia features, one would expect basic functionality as a given. This is not the case with the A500. The contact name field is limited to 12 characters! I can not fit the last names of most of my contacts. There is a cool birthday field for the contacts,... Read full review »
