I own and use one of these, I love the phone, it's made very well, good features for a older Samsung

I have owned a Samsung 8500 mobile phone for about six months. I have no problem with Sprint or the phone.

The Samsung 8500 flip phone is a lightweight mobile phone but has a sturdy construction. The phone is full featured with all the important and none of the useless features. Easy to read keys, easy access to menus and options and very easy setup make this phone extremely practical for my use. This is a very intuitive phone. I have read a couple of reviews regarding the dropping of calls with this phone. My service provider is Sprint and I have not experienced any extraordinary dropped calls within my city or on my travels. Interestingly, on business I travel to very small towns within the U.S. and find the reception to more than adequate. Overall, the best mobile/cell phone I have owned to date.

I have service for my Samsung 8500 flip phone through Sprint and got this phone 2 days after it was introduced almost 2 years ago. I've had very little trouble with it except that the battery doesn't last more than a day and a half with average use, and it seems to have a hard time keeping a strong signal (lose calls now and then). My wife's Sanyo SCP 4500 gets better reception than my Samsung 8500. I like the compactness of the flip phone design, and the voice activated dialling feature is great. If you use an earplug with a mic - the voice dialling feature makes things really easy.

Overall the Samsung 8500 is a good phone. Durable, clear voice conversations, plus all the features including the voice recorder. Good for business people, and students alike.

This phone is very small, easy to handle, looks very nice. The display is very clear, with the aid of backlight and nicely legible font. The options are very easily accessible, with quite a few shortcuts provided. The great memory allows for several hundred name/phone# entries. Added bonuses are the web-browser capability and voice entry.

I LOVE IT!

Overall a great product and I would recommend it.

This phone is definitely worth the money! You would expect that a nice phone like this one would come with a holster to clip on your belt, but it doesn't! Well the holster is only $7.99 to $9.99 at most, so it's not that bad!

It is a good phone overall. Nice features. The best of all
it cheap, I got it for $50 from www.telcomstar.com with
2 years sprint contract. I love it.

pretty expensive but does very well what it is supposed to. Haven't programmed it for voice activated dialing
