Samsung m620 UpStage / Reviews

The least pocket-filling of all the phones we checked out, the 0.4-inch-thin UpStage uses a two-faced design: a keypad on one side, media player on the other. But some of the phone tasks (dialing, texting, entering contacts) must be handled on a minuscule 1.3-inch screen, and the constant flipping, just... More

This phone features an excellent music player and a unique--if ultimately impractical--two-sided design.

I might be dating myself here, but do you remember those Reese's Peanut Butter Cups ads that hawked chocolate peanut butter cups under the slogan, "Two great tastes that taste great together"?  Every time I used the Samsung UpStage over the past few weeks I thought... More

I have to admit that when I first removed the Samsung UpStage from it's yellow Sprint box, I was enthralled with it. Without having yet turned it on, I told my wife how "cool" it was. I knew what its capabilities were, and the physical design was quite appealing. That seemed a recipe for success.

Alas, the Apple iPhone is still months away. While you're waiting, why not check out Samsung's UpStage, one of the niftiest music-oriented cell phones running, but not one without its flaws.

then slowly the touchpad started acting weird...it felt like the buttons were raised up and didnt... More

I hate this phone. I have had it for 1.5 years and now the battery is gone on the phone. One call and it is dead. At first it had great battery power and my only complaint was the touch screen, very frustrating. Terrible for browsing the web. Now I am stuck with a phone that doesn't work and another... More

this phone lasted a year and a half before it just stopped working without any indication. now, you see a lot of reviews here regarding the user interface, dual screens, and what not. obviously this is how the phone was designed, and some people will complain, some will not. I personally found the design... More
