With the mobile versions of these social networks, you can quickly update your status, post tweets, reply, like, comment and share your freshest thoughts while on the go.

Have had previous Samsung Brightside phone and would highly recommend it if you do not need a phone with data but do text.
I was looking for a basic /entry level phone. But I was pleasantly surprised with the performance and features. I am learning something new every day I use it! Great sound quality, touch screen, keyboard. Maybe the name should be changed to "surprised " instead of Brightside.
I love this phone. This is the smartest basic phone I have ever had. Its as close to a smart phone as you can get without actually having one. You don't have to have a data plan but you can still access 3G and get online, friend networks, and get basic phone games. If you don't want to access these all the time then you don't have to have the data package. If you do want to use it all the time I would suggest a smart phone so you can view websites better. If you just want to access the web for a couple things in a pinch this is great. I like the calendar feature. The alarm is simple to operate and get to. All the features of this phone are easy. The only thing I was dissapointed on was the camera. Pictures taken outside are pretty good, but inside they get blury if your subject moves. I do like the speaker phone, the speakers are loud and I can hear the caller clearly in the car. It is a little slippery so I reccomend getting a cover, much easier to hold onto. I do wish I could add a background, its perminantly on the menu. But you can add a background pic to what I guess would be called the screen saver. Its not a big deal to me, but some reviews I read online it bothered them. That was the only negative thing I found online. Bottom line, the phone is amazing!
The samsung brightside is the best phone I've ever had. The touch screen beats tons of other basic phones and the performance is beast. The camera is so-so but doesn't have a flash. That is fine for me. I love the slide out keyboard for texting. It makes it so easy. I also like to play music on it. I would recommend this phone to anyone
This phone is fantastic with it's bluetooth connectivity to my car's audio system. It works flawlessly. In addition, the voice commands feature makes it a truly hands-free phone. The touch screen is inconsistent and not very reliable. I'm still learning all the features and so far, I'm very impressed by its performance. Battery life seems to be pretty good as long as I plug it in at night. I like this phone!
This is a feature packed "basic phone" but samsung still has work to do. It is very much like a smartphone w/out the high price tag & it features a HTML web browser. Heres my complaints that i hope they will address: 1. those stupid black shaded bars that appear behind the Clock & Banner's, u cant turn them off (no matter what samsung tells u, i tried everything suggested & even got a different phone) SO ANNOYING 2. nobody knows what the "transition effect" actually does, i can find No difference's On/Off 3. even w/Mobile email alerts OFF it still alerts me w/icon every time i get a new email 4. ONLY 2 Themes....Orange or Green (yuck)
If I could merge my Samsung Brightside with my Samsung Reality, I'd be in heaven!!! Customization is absolutely lacking in this phone, which was a huge disappointment. I find I'm getting used to not being able to choose my own background, though. Call clarity seems to be great (altho maybe my old phone was just terrible). Ringtones that come with it are great, kinda suprised me. Nothing to say so far about the camera/camcorder. HTML browser stinks... Opera Mini is what I had on my Reality and it was fine, seems a bit jerky on the Brightside. Just overall I was kinda disappointed, and I've owned Samsung cell phones for 8 years now. Cmon Samsung, we expect better of you!!!
I might recommend this to a friend, but only after explaining the negatives. It's not a top level phone, in my opinion. It could have been great and is only so-so. I have had this phone for two weeks. It was an upgrade from the 820, which I loved. However the 820 battery was failing and I got talked into the 380. PRO: The screen is bigger and wider than other QWERTY phones I have used. However, comments you may have seen about the lousy viewing angles on the screen are accurate. I bought an anti-glare filter and it seems to help. CON: I was told this phone had a very responsive touch screen. I have found it to be less than responsive. I frequently have to hit "buttons" several times to get the phone to react. When buttons are near the edges of the screen this is especially noticeable. I am female and have small hands. What men with big fngers do I have no idea, it's pretty irritating. PRO: The browser does indeed seem faster. One big plus for this model is email. I have two web accounts set up and the phone display provides a tab for each one. I can easily go back and forth between them. CONS: The phone is not particularly well organized. Navigation is not always intuitive. I don't like the grid home screen. Some customization is possible but not nearly as much as the 820 and you only get one screen to set up oft-used options. For example: speaker phone. Where is it? only within the call options, while in the call. You can't set the phone on speaker within sound settings, which is simply mind-boggling. BIG CON: Battery life, though advertised as when not in use up to 14 hours, has been noticeably poor for me. Even after a full charge, within a few hours the phone drops to 3 bars on the battery charge icon. In less than 24 I'm down to two. CON: The phone, when opened to the keyboard, seems top-heavy. I like the keyboard, it has a nice feel, but the function key has been put in the bottom left corner. Using it to get symbols then means the top heaviness becomes an annoyance. The Fn key should be higher up. PRO: it is nice to have the Star key for favorite contacts right there on the keyboard. But since one would almost certainly use the Fn key far more often, why aren't they reversed, location-wise? Calls have functioned fine, no drops so far. One design plus is no more of the little mini-clips you have to open out to plus in the charger or headphones, leaving them at risk of breaking off. The charger opening is in the bottom edge of the phone, very conventient. No clip. CON/PRO: The camera seems sort of okay, not great. An annoyance is when one takes a picture, the phone files it away. To do anything with it, such as send a message, the primary reason I take cell phone pics, I have to close the camera, go into My Pictures and wait for them to load, or start up text messaging and load the photo that way. If you like to have your own photo as wallpaper on the open screen, know that it has a big date/time bar right below the halfway point, vertically. Good luck seeing your loved one's face. You can't move it or make the font size smaller. This was the best choice at the time for a feature phone; if there had been another choice, even for higher price, knowing what I know now I would pick the other one. This phone is liveable but I won't ever get to the point of raving about it.
I love the concept of this phone. It is a great alternative for those who want a little bit more than a basic phone but not a smartphone/phone that would require a data plan. I was mainly interested in this phone for the Querty keyboard. Unfortunately, the ALARM doesn't work. At first I thought I was sleeping through my morning alarm, but I ran some tests, and it is not working. I guess this is a problem others are having too. There is also issues with the calendar alerts. I know that the alarm worked initially, but I have tested it a few times, and it no longer works. I have only had this phone for a month or 2. I use my phone alarm as my morning alarm. I never had this problem with my previous LG phone. The Brightside is Very unreliable and disappointing. I hope a software update will come out to fix the glitch. Then maybe I might have more praise for it. Until then...
If you make automobile bluetooth calls you can not end the calls with normal automobile phone disconnect. Either the party you called must hang up and phone will time out or you must select end call on the phone itself. Not good or safe for handsfree usage. Otherwise it is a good phone.
