Bought for my wife to replace lost (LG L55C) phone, and she feels it is even better than the old one in terms of functionality and navigation. Thin and light, it still has a nice sized screen and the camera takes decent pics/videos. I would recommend this phone for those unconcerned with having to impress your friends with the "latest" model phone from the trendy company that bears the same name as a fruit.
I absolutely love this phone. It's the perfect size that I can fit it in my pocket and it not be too big. This is my first android phone, but the web works great on it and it doesn't matter if I'm connected to Wi-Fi or not. Great 3G speed. My only complaint is having to charge it every day, but from what I've read, that's standard for android phones. Sometimes the GPS seems to lag a little, but I'm using it more for web, checking e-mails, texting and making calls. The game apps you can download work great too. Try the free Ruzzle app, it's great if you like boggle or scrabble! Playing music on it works good too. The built in speaker isn't great for music, but plug in some headphones and you are set. You can't beat the monthly bill with StraightTalk. Overall a 9 out of 10!!!
I love this phone! It is on the Verizon network for starters. That is such a plus but the phone itself is very nice. It responds to touch as it should-instantly. I read a lot of positive reviews on this phone before buying. It is definately worth the money. My wife and I owned Huawei M865C phones [that only lasted 4 months] before switching to this ohone.
1 GB of internal Memory. 1 GHZ Processor The internal memory is the most overlooked spec on any phone. Depending on the version of Android you are running, you may not be able to store programs on your SD card. All the other phones I looked at in this class only have 500 MB. This phones hardware is matched perfectly to Android 2.3. Bonus! -->>> VOICE RECOGNITION input that works without training. Just amazing. This model is on the Verizon Network. CDMA 1xRTTI for more detailed info. This was my main reason for giving up my Net 10 LG 800. I now have a good signal inside my cottage with a tin roof. It runs Netflix perfectly over my WiFi along with Live 365 internet radio. I loaded Skype onto it and it would make calls over my WiFi but the calls kept dropping ... which could probably be fixed with some research. But with unlimited call time, who needs Skype anymore. .... The call quality and sound is excellent and it works great as a speaker phone. The included music player gives me the option to play my music files according to their file structure on the SD Card so I do not have to mess with playlists and tags. I do not have a Google account and have downloaded my apps from Amazon ... Except for the Nook Reader which I downloaded from the SlideMe website. The SD card will show up as an external drive when plugged into my Win 7 PC. GPS: I live in the Adirondacks and hike and bicycle ride a lot. With a proper app, this plots my course and records speed, distance and other info. In my first critical test of the GPS, I found the repeatability to be within about 6 feet. More than good enough for tail survey work. It will use the battery up quickly on GPS but that is the nature of the beast. It seems that there is a learning curve in understanding how to manage the battery properly and I'm still down at the lower end. I'm willing to buy spare batteries for this feature. I learned to navigate Coast Guard Aircraft using 1950s vintage Loran A hardware, time delay charts, and calipers... This just blows me away! Camera: Good quality. It needs bright light otherwise the blacks are a little blotchy and some other colors are mottled. I have not had it out in bright sunlight in which I would expect it to make very nice pictures. Maybe I should say that it is only a little bit lesser quality than my friends 5 MP I-phone camera. I am a serious photographer and am probably being too critical of the photo quality. It has no flash but the exposure setting is easy to adjust. The real drawback of the camera is that it will not load any of the camera apps from the Amazon store. I was at least hoping to get Cam Scanner to make PDF documents. The upside is that it takes fine document photos that are readable but just not post processed like CamScanner would do. Do not buy a Droid phone because of the camera MP size. 3 MP is a great size for most common purposes. 5 MP is only a marginal increase over 3 MP and some of the 5 MP Droid phones have smaller memory and slower processors. I still have a lot to learn about this phone and the Android OS but this appears to be the best piece of hardware on the market for the price.
I bought one of these phone for my husband and when wegot my daughter loved it also and she went and bought her onee. Our biggest thing isit run off of verizon towers has most of straight talks phone run off of AT&T which doesn't get service in our area . But love the phone would recommend it :)
We are rather new to this area, so getting lost was getting to be a habit. I wanted a cell phone that had a browser and would let me find directions from where I happened to be to where I wanted to go, and I looked at quite a few cell phones. This one has a lot to offer. I highly recommend it, in fact I am getting one for my husband for his birthday.
I just left Sprint! No more contracts! No regrets! I started with Walmart-Straight-Talk. No worrying about going over my minutes, texts, or data! Also, it's my first smart phone, and I'm pretty pleased. I paid a little more than I thought it was worth, I think. I was even able to port the number that I have had for YEARRS!
I needed to upgrade my phone to something better than I had. After much research, I decided to choose the Samsung Galaxy Proclaim. It was the best phone for the price, and had many useful functions. I am a storm chaser, so I need a smartphone that can run my radar programs, satellite data and much more, in a timely manner. I just got back from intercepting 8 tornadoes in Kansas this past weekend (May 18/19) and this phone worked phenomenally. 3G data, quick browsing, ease of use. Apps load quickly, they work efficiently, and multitasking is a breeze. The only real problem I had was sharing video clips in text messaging. I keep getting an error that the file size is too large when I shoot in full res. Other than that, this phone works like a charm. I love it and would definitely recommend it to someone else. The phone fits in my hand very well. The photo shows one of the tornadoes I intercepted while on the chase.
The Samsung Galaxy Proclaim is a decent, entry level smart phone, and is the first such phone I've owned. The telephone feature works quite well. I replaced my original phone about a week after I received it. The original phone was not properly shifting the screen from vertical (portrait) to horizontal (landscape) when turning the phone "on its side." The view changed from vertical no more than than a quarter of the time. This caused problems for me trying to use the small keypad when in the vertical mode due to my large fingers. I exchanged the phone for one of the same model and am using it with no more problems.
I bought this phone after checking the reviews online, thinking I'll make a good deal. But it was the beginning of my nightmares. After 3 weeks with the phone, I couldn't make a single phone call and people couldn't get in touch with me. I asked ST customer Service but they couldn't do anything about it. They asked me to ship the phone back to the ST Corporate so that they'll same the same Samsung Galaxy Proclaim, thinking that the first one had set up and programming problems. But when I shipped the first one and received the new one, I contacted the Sr Manager as they told me to do in order to program the new one, and At my surprise, after programming the new Galaxy Proclaim the same problems I had with the first one happened: I couldn't make no phone calls. I was always receiving recorded messages after trying to calls my contacts.... I had nightmares for 3 weeks with them and lost my money. Stay away from ST phones everyone. I won't recommend them to no one...
