I dropped it sooo many times and it still worked. I liked that it didnt have a camera and I disabled the internet that it had. I loved the keypad, very durable. It was always reliable and I think it was the best phone Samsung ever made. The original battery lost a lot of life quickly but the extended battery was pretty good. It came with a few games and the menu's were very user friendly. After 2-1/2 years I did have a major issue with the phone all of a sudden going on Analog and Roaming in an area where that had never happened before...It may have been the circuit board inside the phone or it may have been my prepaid service...not sure. I never went to get it checked out.</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=127 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=127&r=22097#review22097 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=127&r=22097#review22097 Fri, 16 Mar 2007 01:36:07 GMT <p><i>Elsbtho925 submitted this review of the Samsung SCH-A310:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Excuse me to those who find the A310 not a workable phone ... how wrong they and you are!<br /><br />This phone is the reason I love all Samsung phones - to me, they're so much better than Motorola or anything else. I associate a Samsung as being a Lexus vs a Corolla (Motorola) - now, honestly, which would you prefer ... a Lexus of course! <br /><br />The a310 was so good that when I upgraded to my NE2, I passed this phone on to my Father (who has hearing problems) and this phone is still in the family. My Dad who has a hearing aid and a tube in his other ear states this is the best phone ever for being able to hear conversations clearly without any static or other problems. <br /><br />Samsung - thank you for always having the best in the field ...</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=127 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=127&r=19896#review19896 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=127&r=19896#review19896 Wed, 15 Nov 2006 05:30:20 GMT <p><i>mike06nyc submitted this review of the Samsung SCH-A310:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I really miss the phone. I used it in early 2003 with Verizon. At that time Verizon's CDMA Network (at least in New York) Sucked big time ( constantly dropped calls, sound degrading at night time and extremely fast power draining of battery).<br /><br />Today, I know for sure-Verizon has fixed those issues. So it would amazing to have this excellent and simple phone back on normal Verizon's network!!!!<br /><br />Phone's <br />PROS:<br />-Excellent voice clarity (no hissing, very loud/clear, smooth, bassy)<br />-Excellent polyphonic ringtones<br />-Cooling and excellent screan resolution without iritating color screan!!!!!<br />-Excellent menu structure<br /><br />VERIZON:<br />Why can't we have such a simple phone<br />today? Why all we see from you today is ugly small color irritating toy phones?</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=127 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=127&r=15925#review15925 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=127&r=15925#review15925 Fri, 31 Mar 2006 21:41:17 GMT <p><i>xrilander submitted this review of the Samsung SCH-A310:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Just purchased this phone, was NOS. I read the reviews, and experienced some of the problems right away. The poor signal strength, and crappy ringtones were solved by having the latest software installed for free at a Verizon Wireless store. The original software version is V17, have the latest V23 installed. Don`t forget to dial *228 option 2 afterwards to get the latest roaming capabilities. As for the right hinge breaking, don`t force the top half backwards while talking!</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=127 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=127&r=14392#review14392 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=127&r=14392#review14392 Mon, 09 Jan 2006 00:59:15 GMT <p><i>bsballdude27 submitted this review of the Samsung SCH-A310:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I got this phone from a friend and he said it was like new.

Since I use it as a phone only and am not interested in other features I have not upgraded in the last few years.<br />I get excellent battery life from the extended battery I bought. I can go two to three days without charging if need be.<br />The cons I have are the ringer volume, which is not very loud. When the phone is in my pocket while in the car I sometimes don't hear it. <br />Also, at my home, there is a problem with reception. It seems when I pull into the driveway, the signal strength drops quite a bit. <br />Other than those two items, I have had good service from it. no repairs in two years.</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=127 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=127&r=11281#review11281 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=127&r=11281#review11281 Wed, 10 Aug 2005 10:26:51 GMT <p><i>drh3b submitted this review of the Samsung SCH-A310:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I bought this about 2 years ago after 2 bad lgvx10 phones.<br /><br />Pros: Great sensitivity, only phone I've owned that works in my basement.<br /><br />Cons: Locks up on dial outs sometimes, and the outside screen died on me after a few months.<br /><br />Getting two Motorola v276's today, wish me luck!</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=127 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=127&r=11251#review11251 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=127&r=11251#review11251 Mon, 08 Aug 2005 21:35:08 GMT <p><i>RACHELLEL submitted this review of the Samsung SCH-A310:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I have had 6 Samsung A310s in one year, all crack after 4 months at screen base, followed by a chunk falling out at hinge, followed by the hinge loosening totally.

I didnt have any problems besides a few dropped calls but thats it. I dont know who was talking about the ringtones not being loud enough, but on the phone i had-the ringtones were quite loud-i mostly had it on vibrate. Even though it doesnt have a color screen-it has a nice bright blue screen and i loved the colors on the caller id when someone called. It also came with a car charger (big plus), home charger, and a belt clip (another plus). I also had a leather case, so i guess thats why my screen didnt crack like others have been saying. I dont have this phone unfortunately because it got lost somehow when i got to college, so now 4 cell phones later i have ended up with that sucky Kyocera Phantom phone, but im really thinking about buying this Samsung phone because i really liked it. Yea the wallpapers were a little cheesy and it doesnt have Get It Now-but that stuff doesnt matter to me anyway-Get it Now sucks anyway. This is a good phone-if you dont want to pay a lot for a nice phone-i suggest you go to Ebay or something and buy one-u wont regret it.</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=127 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=127&r=8849#review8849 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=127&r=8849#review8849 Tue, 15 Mar 2005 11:03:18 GMT <p><i>Headhunter submitted this review of the Samsung SCH-A310:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>0</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This is the worst phone in every category I can imagine.

My girlfriend was trying to put it in her purse on the floor while sitting at dinner, it slipped out of her hand and fell 1.5-2 feet onto the floor blanking out the display. The phone is virtually useless now. I've seen friends drop their Motorola V60 down flights of stairs and still work.<br /><br />I realize that manufacturers cannot create products that never break, but anyone who makes portable cell phones should put more effort into producing products that can withstand normal wear and tear. Correspondence with Samsung support has been fruitless as they refuse to acknowledge any responsibility for poor design (cracked flip screen connector) or poor quality.<br /><br />I'm forgoing the insurance replacement this time and getting a completely different phone. I will never buy a Samsung phone again.</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=127 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=127&r=8141#review8141 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=127&r=8141#review8141 Fri, 04 Feb 2005 00:21:43 GMT <p><i>reducedfatoreo submitted this review of the Samsung SCH-A310:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I had no problems with this phone until I lost the first one I bought after 14 months. Asurion insurance sent me a replacement refurbished A310 (check the total calls made...that normally can't be deleted and it can let you know if 3000 calls had been made on your phone before you had it, as was the case with this one). Within two months the phone started freezing both during calls and while in idle mode. The phone would not turn off unless I disconnected the battery and would not turn on again unless the battery was out for at least a minute, then the whole thing would happen again within a short amount of time. I sent the phone back to Asurion and they sent me another A310. This time it only took two weeks for the same thing to happen. It's a shame, because I did like this model, but it's not likely that most people will have their phones for long enough for this problem to occur anyway. Watch out for refurbished phones, though!</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=127 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=127&r=6252#review6252 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=127&r=6252#review6252 Fri, 22 Oct 2004 13:08:02 GMT <p><i>Trilla12 submitted this review of the Samsung SCH-A310:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This wireless telephone is the first I've owned, but I still realize its problems.<br /><br />PROs:<br />Exterior multi-color screen<br />Large, bright internal display<br />The Push-Push game (except for the unbeatable Stage 28)<br />Scheduler<br /><br />CONs (here we go):<br />Ringer is almost SILENT at the highest volume level (5), calls missed!<br />Can barely feel the vibrate, calls missed.<br />Battery life horrible.
