A500 CDMA

Date of Review:  May 8, 2003
The Bottom Line: you can still buy a phone that's much cheaper and work just as good.No phone should be worth more than $200 unless it's got a diamond stud in there.
Review: 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...

Wasn't worth $300

Date of Review:  Feb 27, 2003
The Bottom Line: Very flashy w/ its design and color screen but lacking in the reliability department. Needs longer battery life and better signal strength
Review: I was offered the a500 as a demo phone for the company I work for. Having never used a Samsung flip phone I jumped at the opportunity. I was picking up lots of features that the Sanyo 6000 I carried didn't have. Unfortunately its a bit of a let...

Image IS everything, isn't it?

Date of Review:  Nov 2, 2002
The Bottom Line: This is not a business phone, but trendy and stylish phone for young people. You will love to use it, even just to look at it!
Review: If you are from Europe, you will probably know this phone as Samsung SGH T100, and you ll probably fell in love as soon as you see it, wherever you are from. But wait a second, it might not satisfy you completely. It is sleek, stylish and you will...

awesome phone!

Date of Review:  Mar 13, 2003
The Bottom Line: the a500 is a gadget-lover's phone. if you don't care about phone being cool and just want to talk, get some other phone, its too expensive.
Review: Good stuff:
well, for one thing, the color screen is a TFT screen, not an LCD. It is much sharper with more brilliant colors, and i must say nobody can really complain about the screen because it is so clear and bright. of course it has nice...

The best phone i've used

Date of Review:  Feb 23, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you want an awesome light phone that works well and is stylish too, this is the phone for you!
Review: I've had plenty of cell phones and this one is by far the best. The first thing my new phone had to have was a loud enough ringer and great voice clarity. This phone has both and plenty more. When I got it and called my wife for the first time she...

Defective product

Date of Review:  Feb 4, 2005
Review: As some others have reported, I am also having charging problem with the phone.

Symptoms:

the red indicator light cycles between on and off when I try to charge it, instead of being just solid red (solid red means it's charging...

NICE PHONE, GREAT SCREEN QUALITY

Date of Review:  May 3, 2003
The Bottom Line: Once you get the firmware upgraded, you won't have many problems with this phone
Review: 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...

Best Phone yet!!!!!!!!!

Date of Review:  Sep 25, 2002
The Bottom Line: Lexus of Mobile Phones? Samsung has to be consumer oriented for their mobile phones. Perhaps they should take a lesson from Lexus on how to satisfy the ultimate user.
Review: 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...

flagship? i think NOT

Date of Review:  Sep 5, 2002
The Bottom Line: A very cool, small, sexy phone that looks and sounds great. However, this phone is not user friendly and is worthless to me because it lacks basic functionality.
Review: 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...

Samsung A500 Great phone

Date of Review:  Sep 8, 2002
The Bottom Line: Bottomline this is the best phone I have every owned. Great colorful screen, great ringers, great web access, great games, and sleek and lightweight design.
Review: 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...
