The Samsung Galaxy Ace is a good phone in this price range. The 3.5 inch screen size is attractive, the 5 mega pixels camera works well, the battery life is amazing and the features embedded are rich and abundant. But there are few options that could have make it best in this segment like, front camera, Android gingerbread version, at least 512 MB RAM, HD video resolution, etc. overall we give this phone 3.5 star rating.

This phone worked well for the first few weeks.... then the quality started to somewhat diminish.
Problems:
-randomly turned off and on 1-5 times a day
-dropped calls constantly
-had a very very hard time sending any sort of sms, picture message, etc.
-glitchy

For this price you can get other phones that may not carry fancy settings or features but will be stable and at least keep their promises. Sorry to say this hurt my love for Samsung and have switched to and HTC phone.
If you are comfortable with a smartphone, however do not want to spend up to $700 on something that you sparsely or use only for a very limited amount of things, I would recommend this phone. For example: if you think you'll like a goof with a flip phone but don't want anything fancy or expensive.

I had an LG Optimus One and the biggest problem was the back button failing probably due to having it in my pocket doing construction for a year. Everything else worked great.
Got the Galaxy Ace and it's definitely a downgrade from the Optimus One. USB connection doesn't work very well, the screen brightness lowers when the battery is low and you need to reset it every time you use the phone (try doing that in the sun), speaker volume will not go to max in phone calls, possibly because battery is low, and last but not least, the battery doesn't last very long even when I followed instructions on charging properly the first time. Power button is on the top right side so holding the phone up I constantly accidentally touch the power button turning the screen, or the whole phone, OFF.
I've had the phone 5 days and constantly find annoying quirks with this thing. I will be returning it before my grace period is over, for a new LG Optimus One even thought the screen is smaller. I tried the HTC One V the week before I had this one, and it was just as quirky and annoying, ie. turning itself off and back on every 30 seconds for about 20 hours.
