During a call, the quality is pretty good, but honestly, what cell phone has great quality? None that I've ever used. One thing about this phone that AMAZES me is that it is like, unbreakable... even if dropped in water. I once dropped it in the water, and thought that it would be the end of that phone.. but still had hope. I quickly got it out, took out the battery, and let it dry. As soon as it was dry I found out that it worked fine, but the volume was quiet. I was still using it until I found another good phone, and I was using the speaker phone, and found out it was back to normal!<br /><br />PRO'S-<br />*Speaker Phone<br />*Flip Sounds<br />*Customizable<br />*Good Quality<br />*Can see the clock still when closed<br />*Can set dif. ring tones for dif. people<br />*Can record then use as ring tone<br /><br />CON'S-<br />*Not bluetooth accessible<br />*No Camera<br />*Easy Scratch</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1103 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1103&r=28780#review28780 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1103&r=28780#review28780 Mon, 05 May 2008 04:41:52 GMT <p><i>alanforsberg submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T219:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Great Phone, basic, and reliable.<br />VERY SMALL!<br /><br />Pros: Small<br />Light<br />Simple<br />Bright<br />RED KEYPAD<br />Loud Ring (in the newer versions)<br />Fast No lag.<br />Very Very cheap<br /><br /><br />Cons:<br />Nothing extra<br />No mp3</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1103 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1103&r=27885#review27885 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1103&r=27885#review27885 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 20:54:54 GMT <p><i>danbright submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T219:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>well i got this phone for free with a flex plan from t mobile.

This phone is good for users like my mom that need basic phones that simply work well. Both of our phones are the newer t219s, which include the T-Mobile network address book backup feature, which works automatically (good for my mom, as I can login to my.t-mobile.com and add contacts to her address book for her). The updated t219s also seems to have better call quality and volume, plus it can ring and vibrate at the same time. The Myfaves software is also updated, allowing it to be minimized so you can see your wallpaper, while being able to press the OK key to bring up the Myfaves ring. The phone is quite responsive, better than the Nokia 6030 or 2610 when answering calls. The CSTN screen does look washed out at default settings, but can be improved significantly by adjusting the contrast and brightness. One good thing about the CSTN screen is that it saves battery life (this phone has great battery life). <br /><br />One thing I would change about the phone is the location of the microphone. It is on the bottom of the phone, like a Nokia candybar phone, instead of on the front under the keypad. It still sounds fine if the base of the phone is close to your face, though some other Samsungs have slightly better sound quality from the mic because the mic faces the mouth. Words with the "s" sound are a bit more natural sounding with other T-Mo Samsungs such as the Beat, the t629, and the t409. It's really only noticeable if you do a side-by-side comparison by having someone call you using the t219, then calling using one of the other phones. The sound quality is much better than the Blast, which also has the mic on the bottom of the phone (though you can't get it close enough to your mouth due to the phone's design). <br /><br />Overall, this is a good basic phone for those who want or need a nice looking phone with no camera.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1103 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1103&r=24578#review24578 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1103&r=24578#review24578 Wed, 08 Aug 2007 21:27:17 GMT <p><i>rhstenor submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T219:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>The Samsung t219 is a great phone, if youre looking for a phone and nothing else.<br /> It is confusing with the features listed on the Samsung website, but this phone DOES NOT have bluetooth.<br /><br />Pros:<br /> Awesome design.

I love the color red, and it looks good on this phone. This is a basic phone, so I didn't expect a whole lot from it. I had to take some points away because of the internal screen contrast. The screen is TFT, but the colors look a bit washed out. <br /><br />PROS:<br />Very small &amp; Attractive<br />Has Speaker Phone<br />Good at making and Receiving calls<br /><br /><br />CONS:<br />Screen look a bit washed out<br />Can't change the skin or color scheme<br />Can't customize the menu<br /><br />All in all... this is a nice basic phone.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1103 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1103&r=24161#review24161 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1103&r=24161#review24161 Mon, 16 Jul 2007 07:01:12 GMT <p><i>technomantra submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T219:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Looks: 8/10; this phone is definitely a looker. Red, and silver, with black on top of the flip where the glass is. It has a RED KEYPAD! <br /><br />Ruggedness/Physical build quality: 7.5/10<br />Feels strong like diecast metal. Battery cover is thin, flimsy and scratches somewhat easy.<br /><br />Call quality: 6.5/10 <br />What cell phone is always clear? None I have owned..:) <br /><br />Internet capability: 6/10<br />OK for text, checking your webmail, this will work OK. Sites with lots of graphics will SUCK BAD! You can't scroll left/right with it.<br /><br />Battery life: 9/10<br />Excellent; I could have used it for probably 4 hous of constant web and voice. Excellent backup phone to keep in the glove box or in the purse for you ladies.<br /><br />However the battery cover scratches VER EASILY. It is silver, not red, so the scratches are not as noticeable. The rest of the body of the phone does not scratch like the battery cover does.<br /><br />I could easily take the battery cover, and a can of primer and a can of red duplicolor spray paint and go to town on this battery back, but that's more then most would want to do of course.<br /><br />Menu and Software/OS: 6.5/10<br />I really don't think they put much time into this menu system, it's not very customizeable aor intuitive. Some things take 3 menu levels to get to. But you can assign shortcuts to the 4 way toggle button which is a good thing. However, you are limited in the things you can link to it; you cannot have the contacts/phonebook be one of them. I think you can make a link to those on the 2 buttons that appear on the bottom of the screen, but not sure yet.<br /><br />The menu system is fairly simple, though.<br /><br />The keypad is nice, it's red and it has partially raised keys, I felt it was pretty good. A little small, but that is what happens when you buy a small phone!<br /><br />JAva support: 4/10<br />One thing I don't like about this phone is that if you install a java program, like say Gmail, it does not give gmail access to the internet.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1103 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1103&r=22697#review22697 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1103&r=22697#review22697 Sat, 28 Apr 2007 11:52:19 GMT <p><i>rdav93 submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T219:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone is so gay.
