Sexy Phone with Overall Good Build Quality
i have had this phone for over a week now, and i am very satisfied. let me tell you for the price you are getting is a steal. how can one make money by getting a new phone? i dont know but i dont really care either.
Poor design
I can hardly pick this phone up without accidentally hitting the volume or speakerphone button. The manual that comes with it uses little icons instead of written words. Besides being almost indistinguishable from one another, these icons make reading the instructions akin to reading a coded message. You really have to stop and study each icon to figure out what the hell they are talking about. From brand new, the battery needs recharging less than every 48 hours. Just doesn't seem to hold a charge worth a darn. Poor reception... really poor inside. The menu buttons seem to be strategically designed to get you to use the various V-cast and additional charges type functions. It makes it harder to use simple phone functions. I bought the case for it and it's a bust too. The way it's made, the phone won't close properly and the clear cover over the keys, makes pressing them individually almost impossible. I have nothing good to say about the design or function of this phone.

Why I like the Samsung a930...
I don't know why people rate this phone so bad, when it really isn't so bad.I'm writing this review for my mom since we both own the phone right now (My name is Keli speaking for mom - Deslina).We got it as a deal by just going to the Verizon store (2 phones with new contract for $100 with a $50 rebate = $50 spent for 2 of these phones).That was just the first positive option I found for this phone.

Phancy Phenomenal Phabulous Petite Pink Phone
First of all, pink just makes a Mamalinde happy.After spending WAY too much time on the phone with Cingular in a long and drawn out "upgrade" request and after being promised the phone twice and having it not shipped as promised, I had about reached the point of switching carriers and stopping the torture.But, I finally got my phancy pink phone and it was worth the wait.Where to start?How about with one thing at a time, which is how I managed the learning curve on this pheature laden phone
I REALLY REALLY wanted this pink phone
but the review before mine about radiation really concerns me.

Long Term Reliability
Bought this phone model back in December '05.Had to return it after a couple of days because it would turn itself off several times a day.But since then, it has turned out to be a most reliable and useable phone.
Good enough
Got this phone when it as -$50 with 1 year verizon contract, so far so good.
Poor service from Verizon
Verizon has had a lot of trouble porting the number from the old phone to this new one. Worked hours on phone with tech support to no avail. They still can't get the new one working and now the old one doesn't work because the number was porting. Very incompetent technical staff. ... Read more

A very good PDA/phone with some minor annoying defects
I love that phone. This is a highly customize and flexible device, I totally recommend it to anyone who has a busy schedule and doesn't mind a big phone.Phone function works great, although it takes some time to adjust to it's big size. I was using small flip phones prior getting Treo 650.Battery life is great, it can go easy 2-3 days without charging. Bluetooth surprisingly doesn't eat up battery. Earpiece works really well, I don't like that earpiece jack isn't standard. The display is very bright, and sharp. The camera pictures quality sucks, but who really uses phone-camera to take photos?:)Users should install the latest Palm os patch to fix up resetting, battery life, and other problems. I find it annoying that thequick-shortcut buttons are not protected by keylock.Also, there is no multilingual support available unless third-party application is installed. The PDA reset a few times on me, but have installed quite a few third party applications on it.

bad on all counts
The email doesn't work. Especially ridiculous with Gmail. The device crashes a lot and resets. The people at Cingular don't know how to fix it (although someone in the data support department admitted aloud that the 650 is NOT compatible with Gmail -- no one in the customer service or warranties department will admit it), and Cingular is perfectly willing to send you new devices to replace the "faulty" device under the manufacturer's warranty -- and with each replacement device that works as poorly as the previous one, Cingular is still unwilling to admit that the device is a problem. Unwilling to simply get you onto another device. Unwilling to admit that the phone is incapable of actually doing what it is supposed to do. As frustrated as I've ever been with a cell phone company -- I have never been as infuriated with both a provider and a manufacturer.

RUN AWAY - this product defines caveat emptor!
I do not review things, and I have an extremely high level of tolerance for product functioning.Nevertheless, I am so fed up with my palmOne Treo 650 (which I have owned for a year), that I have called Verizon today, complained to Palm, joined a class action, and reactiviated my several year-old flip phone that has water damage.Yes - my water damaged, cheap LG phone functions better than my palm treo.

Excellent consumer smartphone
I replaced a phone and a PDA with the Q and have been pretty happy since. The display is sharp, so I'm not finding the smaller size a problem, and the qwerty keyboard is a whole different world from on-screen keyboards and a stylus. It is a little sluggish compared to my iPAQ, but still very useable.
Previous owner of an SMT-5600, really didn't like the "Q"
I've had a Smartphone for about two years, so I'm not one of those people who didn't like the "Q" because I expected PocketPC features on it.I switched from Cingular to Verizon for service reasons, and the Q seemed like the closest phone to the Audiovox SMT-5600 that I had and liked.It was definitely wider, but thinner, which seemed like a reasonable tradeoff.
Some simple points
-- The screen clarity is exceptional, much better than a PDA I own.

Blue Razor
I got a wonderful deal through Amazon and Cingular.Getting a Razor for one cent was terrific and I love my new phone!

Reception problems
I ordered a black and blue razr phone thinking there was absolutely no difference between the two except for color.My wife's phone, the black razr, has excellent reception.In contrast, the blue razr, has little to no reception.I exchanged it for another blue razr and discovered the same problem.Irritated and frustrated I decided to switch to the black razr thinking there might have been a manufacturing defect on the blue razr's.I received my black razr yesterday and voila the reception is far superior than the blue (which is supposedly the exact same phone).Of course my wife's phone still has better and consistent reception for some reason;Maybe because it is considered the primary phone it has better reception.My thinking is that if you wish to purchase a blue razr, you should wait a month or so before purchasing.Wait for those "defective" batches of blue razr's to be out of the system.Or, I just may have been an unlucky person to have gotten two defective blue phones in a row. ...

Different pinks with different carriers
I recently got this phone and love it.T-mobile's service may not be the best, but I have had no problems with the phone itself.For all the people saying that it isn't really magenta-It is.The pink razr offered by Cingular is a pale pink, the t-mobile phone is the hot pink magenta shown.I looked at them at bestbuy before buying and saw that the different carriers have different shades.

Love the phone, hate the battery life!
Having had every new gadget imaginable I must report that I LOVE this phone because I can take pictures and make videos! I LOATHE having to charge the battery everyday! Perhaps I just got a bad battery but I've NEVER had to charge any phone daily. Keep in mind that I leave my phone on 24/7. Maybe I should turn it off. Does anyone else have this same syndrome?
HATED IT
I actually went through three of these phones.Each one that I had would just turn off in the middle of a call...not just drop the call I mean the phone shuts off! Then I would try and start it again, no go! So I had to take the battery out of the phone put it all back together and then restart it. Half of the time it would start and say invalid battery and I would start the entire process over again. I complained so much to Tmobile that they exchanged it for a Motorola V360 which has all the same features, except BETTER reception and an MP3 player.I wouldnt reccommend this phone to anyone....p.s. My husband has the silver one and the same thing happend to his! ... Read more

The perfect PDA!
Lawdy lawdy - this is the best PDA I have ever had....I used to like Palm more than Windows-based PCs but this one is finally made the correct way....
Never received it !!!
I am giving it 3 stars because I am unable to rate the phone yet. I ordered it about a week back and was supposed to get it in 2 days. Amazon website kept saying that there is a delay in your order. I called them up and they said that they have not received an approval from Cingular. They were nice enough to upgrade the shipping to next day delivery upon receipt of approval. But apparently they never heard from Cingular and automatically cancelled the order.
Best yet but not perfect
I am upgrading from an audiovox smt5600 with the Windows mobile 3.0 operating system.I really like that it syncs with the outlook contacts and calendar.The windows mobile 5.0 OS is a real improvement. The keyboard works great and rotates the screen to landscape but I find that I rarely use it and input using the touchpad keyboard - so the extra weight and size are not necessary for me.The speaker phone is annoying to my callers so I stopped using it.I can cruise the internet using wireless but not too much fun on a 4" screen.Ditto working with word and excel files.Camera is disappointing.

Love it - but wish it was better....
I have had a Razr phone for three years.During that time I confess I have gently dropped it at least three times and the phone always reboots and gets itself working again.However,yesterday, weeks after the last "drop", it seemed to be losing its durability.Out of the blue, the camera turned on and randomly started to take photos.When I turned it out of camera mode, it switched into the voice record memo menu and would not exit until I hit the end button.From there the keypad would not work.I went to a friend's house to call Cingular and they said they would send new "software" to the phone.It worked for the day, but last night, it started working in the same erratic fashion.I rebooted it and charged the battery and hope it works today.I am going to see if it acts up again, but pulled out my old samsung freebie which I saved in case I need to use a reliable phone.
IT BREAKS ALL THE TIME!!!
Ok, so I bought into the hype about the Razr when it first came out.Now, however, I HATE THIS PHONE.IT HAS CAUSED ME NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS.Due to the fact that it is so slim, the wires are super thin as well and constantly break.It costs a lot to fix, including a day off of work to travel the extensive distance to someone who knows how to fix it.Then I finally got fed up with the phone breaking and decided to buy a new one, a completely different brand, but Cingular said I wasn't ready for an "upgrade" so I had to pay full price!I got screwed... beware the Razr (and any Motorola products for that matter--their Blue Tooth headsets are no better!!!Even my boyfriend who works for Moto won't buy their products!)

Don't buy it
Although this phone is thin and looks nice. I'm disappointed I bought it. It just doesn't work well. I agree with many of the negative reviews of this phone. I had my old cell phone (Nokia) for years and it worked great. I've had this one less than six months and have had nothing but problems. ... Read more
