A Horrible Phone!

0/10

This phone was nice and all for the first few weeks, after that went all down hill. Has no camcorder, terrible picture quality, the phone randomly shuts itself off, and the back casing is garbage and falls off by itself. I mean, for the price why not, but if your looking for a good phone, spend a few... More

The only problems i have had with this phone is that there is no memory slot, there is no camcorder and that the phone had smaller buttons (my fingers are very fat) than my old phone. But over all this phone is way better then all of my old cell phones.

i do love this phone tho, im not into spending alot of money, just need a good phone for texting and... More

I had read reviews on the Samsung Hype phone on other sites and frankly I felt disturbed by some of the negative connotetions since I already had my heart set in getting one to replace my aging Nokia 2610. I have owned the Samsung Hype phone for the past 3 days and managed already to have a working undertanding... More

Short term usage

I got this when my old krazr broke in the spring to use until my contract with rogers expires in November. It's really pretty, but the camera SUCKS and since I didn't enable internet it has really crappy ringtones and default pictures, and I can't really make my own background by taking... More

Simple phone. & A TRICK TO MAKE YOUR CONTRACT PHONE PREPAID !

Tayler ( about 1 year ago )

I was sick of paying for a very expensive contract plan so i decided to switch to pre paid. i really like the look of this phone , the keyboard and also how thin it is. i was very disappointed with the low quality camera though . the phone is very easy and simple to use . i latyer discovered that if... More

All applications (tools, calculators) are easy to use
Sound quality on phone calls is great
Everything about text messaging is great

BAD:
Internet is slow to load... More

I bought this phone because I broke a few buttons on my other one and needed something until my plan was ready for an upgrade. I was a bit sad to find the picture quality not great when it cleary seems like it's trying to show it's got camera ability (the back looks cameraish) The buttons are... More

Nice phone

I got this phone a few months ago.
It's a very good starter phone for people who haven't had much experience with them. It looks nice, the buttons are small but you get used to them.
I have recommended it to friends, and they ended up getting one too.
I think it's a nice little phone... More

If you want a qwerty phone without upgrading to a blackberry this is perfect.
It's part of the pay as you go plan, but Rogers never tells you that you can simply buy this phone outright (89.00) and stick your simcard in it even if you are on a plan. Just because it's not part of the hardware... More

I got the Samsung Hype two months ago and it's very easy for someone who doesn't need high tech features. I use Facebook on it though. The internet is fast and it is lag free.

Pros:
- Sim card

- Easy to text with. (Qwerty keyboard)

- Fast internet

- Camera is good quality. (Cool effects,... More

Down Load Ring Tones

I have had this phone since Dec. I am not happy with the selections of ring tones. I have gone a head and found some new ring tones, but it doesn't look like the phone will allow me to change it.

Wicked Phone

Very affordable phone for the quality you get. the Qwerty keyboard takes a little time to get used to but overall very easy to use. even though it only has a VGA camera it seems to take very good quality pictures. I recommend this phone for anyone looking for a nice phone at a very cheap price. I got... More

Okay, so ive had this phone for a month and a half now and i am with rogers prepaid. at first, it was a pretty good phone but the longer i had it, it started doing things like reseting at random moments, closing down the internet while i was on it and freezzing. my phone broke about 4 hours ago, it reset... More

This is the first phone I've ever had, and it's amazing! Even though the buttons are a little small, you get used to it. I love this phonee

Love the phone

I love this phone. It's great. To the person who said you can't set repeated calendar items this is not true. When setting a calendar item put in an end date say years down the road. Then select Repeat. Then it will ask you the frequency (everyday, every week, every month). Very easy.
