Clark Thu, 04 Feb 2010 19:40:48 +0000 http://www.mobiles22.com/samsung-a707-sync-blue-phone#comment-702 I've had two of these, the first being black and the second being blue. I like this phone but I'm afraid there are a few too many issues with it for me to consider a 3rd one. Here are the two biggest problems I've encountered: <br /> <br />1) Durability. I dropped the first one a lot and it actually lasted quite a while and only started to malfunction gradually, making the break predictable. I was super careful with the second, only dropped it a couple times and just a few days ago it snapped in half. Waiting for a new Slvr to come. Neither phone held a charge very well, at most held one for a couple days. Otherwise, it would just die within 24 hrs. <br /> <br />If you're going to get this phone, be extra careful with it and expect problems with the battery life/charger. Otherwise, the other problems are rather trivial and the phone's menu setup and everything is nice. <br /> <br /> Rating: 4 / 5 I’ve had two of these, the first being black and the second being blue.

Yeah it's fast downloading on the 3g network, and the screen has a nice display. The picture phone is cool and once you figure out the menues and how to access all of the features, it's a handy, sleak phone with a OK battery life. However, scrolling through the menus has a delay from when you push the button, to when the scrolling actually takes place. Very annoying. For instance, I want to turn the ringer volume down from 7 to zero. I push the ringer down button 7 times. After about the 5th click, I then see the ringer volume meter start to decend. Same with the phone book. Dont get me started on Text Messaging. I'll be 4 letters in before it will try and catch up on the display. Everytime I use the phone, delay, delay, delay. Then, sometimes (confirmed by several other users), the phone reception signal bars turn gray and the phone says "for emergency calls only." You have to power off and reboot for it to work. The phone itself is cheap. The LCD screen on the front cracked by a MINIMAL tap on it. Also, I have never removed the casing to access the battery and one day it just fell off and wouldn't stay on. Let me tell you I have been so careful with this phone and it has never been dropped or mishandeled. The volume is also not that loud, but the speak Rating: 2 / 5 OK, so here’s the deal.

Samsung won’t replace the part, despite their 1 yr warranty for “defects in materials and workmanship.”

They simply do not have the part in inventory – and the battery slips out easily, without the cover.

The main complaint is that samsung will not stand behind the product. We were asked to send $95.00 before they would even look at it. Or put it on our credit card, then maybe they could fix it or not, those were his exact words. We hung up and decided we will never buy anymore Samsung products. My niece has a nokia and they replaced hers for free and even paid all shipping. Think twice before buying this one.
