Samsung UpStage-M620 Cell Phone User Reviews

Pros: I think the phone is very easy to use, small and feature packed.

Cons: Navigation pad needs to be a little bigger. I have large fingers and in the beginning found it hard to scroll, but after two days, I won tha battle.

Summary: I have been a devoted Sanyo customer owning over 15 in the past 9 years. I have had only one Samsung phone in my life, and that was the A640. I was SO disappointed with the quality of that phone, I swore off Samsung. That was in December of 2006. When Sprint announced the Upstage I was leary on getting one. I was leaning towards the Sanyo M1. Weel, Sprint decided to discontinue the M1, so the Upstage crossed my mind again. I purchaed one, and so far, have not had any problems that I have seen in reviews of the M620.

Pros: All in all the design is great. the touch sensitive pad is tricky at first but after a little practice becomes very easy to use. Also the batter and extended battery are superb! Media player is awesome. T9 texting is incredible with the ability to add words to the dictionary and even search through contacts and text inbox for new words. No more tap typing people's names.

Cons: You have to flip the phone back an forth a lot to use some features. Also google maps is pretty much worthless on this phone because you can't use numbers and if you flip it to the phone side it will terminate the app. Huge let down as this phone is gps capable and I use google maps on my phone several times a day. Almost considering taking it back for this reason alone.

Summary: Solid phone with incredible batter life. Very sleek and slim out of the case and very functional as a phone and a media player. Unfortunately, as I mentioned some things are a bit challenging or impossible to use on this phone. would have been the perfect phone if you could still use the number keys while on the media side of the phone without using the flip button.

Pros: Battery life! There is no longer a need to pack my Ipod.

Cons: The stupid phone case and Get a screen protector for this phone. It scratches very easy.

Summary: I've had many many phones with Sprint. I swore I would never buy another Samsung after the a900 (battery life sucks on that phone). So I stuck with Sanyo, until the upstage came out. This is by far the best phone Samsung has ever put out. It does take some getting comfortable with all the features.

Pros: non-flip, slim, TWO batteries, included case and dual purpose.

Cons: Buttons wear out, and programs are limited on the "phone" side of the well, THE PHONE! Also, no replacement charger.

Summary: I bought the phone simply because I didn't want a flip phone. And because it was so new.

It took 4 hours to charge (twice the batt. means twice the charge time.)

Recently my phone charger was stolen out of my house, and it cost $20 for a cruddy car charger since there's not a wall charger available yet. Even though I had a protection plan on the phone I still had to pay for the dang charger!

The iPod-like scrolling device gets on my nerves, and I end up scrolling around and around trying to get to the very next icon! It's kinda tiring in a way!

Texting is great on the phone, but after a while some of the buttons stick. Considering I've only had this phone for about a month, it's something you definately need to get used to but after you do, it's actually quite fun!.
