Samsung SCH 8500

This phone was one of my favorite phone that I ever owned. I still think of it that way now having owned an iPhone and a Droid. Now of course they are smartphones and can't really be compared. But the quality and durability of the Samsung SCH-8500 keeps me thinking fondly of it. It could also have something to do with the craptastic LG TP5200 that I had after it and broke easily. They replaced the model with the 5250 quickly. The SCH-8500 worked flawlessly and I would not hesitate to buy a Samsung phone in the future.

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

I've had my Samsung 8500 mobile phone since it came out. I have to admit that this is the most perfect phone I have ever seen except the slow modem. Now that A600 is out, I want to get that one only because I'm trying to access the Internet and 8500 does not work due to its slow modem. Everytime I went to the store to see if I can find something that can beat this phone I walked out with my 8500. All the features are useful, and as I said except its generation, it's a full package phone.

I've had my Samsung 8500 mobile phone for 3 years now. I use it heavily every day. Never had a problem. Not only is it a great phone, but I keep going to the store looking to see if I find a better phone with more features and so far I keep walking out with my old 8500. I own two batteries so one is always charging while the phone stays on 24/7. This phone is a work horse and by far the best phone I've ever had. It has yet to break. Don't leave home without it.

The samsung 8500 has been the best sprintpcs phone i have ever owned going on 3 years now, and have not had 1 problem. this phone is very durable, and i have not had no problems with getting a signal, every function of my phone works just like it suppose to, i recommend this phone, i rate it a 10.

NOT SO GOOD

I HAD THE SAMSUNG 8500 FOR A YEAR AND A HALF AND HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS. EVERY FUNCTION ON MY PHONE WORKS GREAT A+++. I PLAN ON KEEPING THIS PHONE AS LONG AS I CAN. THIS PHONE IS VERY DURABLE, AND CALL ARE SUPER CLEAR.

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 owned the Samsung 8500 phone for about 1 1/2 years. My service is through Sprint. I have yet to drop a call, people hear me very clearly and the only time I took it in the Sprint store was to update. This has been the best phone I have owned. For the value and style is great. It is a shame that they discontinued this phone but I hear that an upgrade of this phone is coming soon.
