      <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;blancajim submitted this review of the Samsung Messager R450:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall rating: &lt;b&gt;1.5&lt;/b&gt; (out of 5)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The only thing going for this phone is the large, easy to read display. Features like included ring tones provide little choice, I guess they want to make more money from you by selling you more ring tones. What I really hate, is when I pick up the phone to make a call, I always hit the camera button and activate the camera. I'm going to try to disable that button with some glue. Overall I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

One of the greatest of the great. I would put this over a phone with smart phone features any day. I think this deserves a 4.8 rating actually but that option isn't available&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      Pros&lt;br /&gt;Very Durable- I've dropped this phone at least ten times a day, its been in the toilet, and through everything else possible. It still works almost perfectly!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Battery- Before my phone took a nose dive in the toilet it had a great battery, for me. I text pretty much every five minutes so my battery lasts around two days. However after the toliet it got worse but now its back to normal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Great Signal through Straight Talk&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Very sturdy and I love the heavy weight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      Cons&lt;br /&gt;The vibrate tends to come and go since I dropped it in the toilet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has turned off randomly maybe one a week before the toilet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No matter I can't complain, I've had it since May and even though the phone itself is old and outdated its perfect for me&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;skittles19 submitted this review of the Samsung Messager R450:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall rating: &lt;b&gt;4.5&lt;/b&gt; (out of 5)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I admit that it wasn't perfect but it was pretty damn close...., it was by far the best phone from cricKet and i wish i would have never bought a new phone and decided to play in some water with it to see what would happen. I definitely found out what would happen if you put it in water and i reallllllyyyy regret it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PROS: Awesome for texting, nice QWERTY keyboard, fast for texting, T9 worked very well, the speaker phone was loud &amp;amp; clear, I got service in places where you wouldn't think were possible, nice design, themes were awesome and thats about it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CONS: small screen, slow internet, slow sometimes when you are doing a lot of texting, it only came in two colors (Blue &amp;amp; Green) ringtones couldn't be set to certain people, couldnt send anything from the SD card, buttons got kind of non responsive after awhile, the slider was wobbly and a case mad it worse, dirt would get in the tracks on the slider and make a gritty grinding noise, it wouldn't send messages sometimes and I would have to cut it off for it to work, and thats about it for this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If they still have this phone for any other company (Straight Talk) then i would totally get it. Now just a little note, if you do get it for Straight Talk it will be different from cricKet or MetroPCS.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I used this phone at wal mart bc they have it on display.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I noticed that the keypad is  really good with the qwerty and all, but the card service (net10) has really limited this phones features. A friend of mine had this and it has tons more of features. I gotta say that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But really this phone review is the Messager and not the Net10 r450 so I continue with this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm a big fan of samsung, so it's top rated. Samsung is the best&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DA BOMB!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Exavier submitted this review of the Samsung Messager R450:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall rating: &lt;b&gt;4.5&lt;/b&gt; (out of 5)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There doesn't seem to be a review for the Samsung R451c so I thought I'd add one. I bought one for my daughter for Christmas through Straight Talk at Walmart for $99 and she loves it. It seams to be similar to the Samsung R450 but I'm not exactly sure what the difference is. Ours has a full slide out qwerty keypad which she says makes texting so much easier. It also has a 1.3 megapixel camera, mp3 player, bluetooth (unrestricted), microSD memory slot, voice dialing, speakerphone, web browser, voice recorder and the standard suite of organizational tools.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The phone is black and shiny and could get fingerprints which may bother some people but it doesn't bother us. It is very bulky and rather heavy but not too much to worry anyone. It's just a bit bulkier than the ultra thin and light smartphones. The size is of course due to the slideout keypad which is nice and sturdy, it slides smoothly and clicks into place in both directions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The signal strength is strong which is probably because Straight Talk is on Verizon's network nationwide which has good coverage. The appealing factor of Straight Talk is the unlimited everything for $45 per month so I never have to worry that my daughter will run up a huge phone bill.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;iTunes submitted this review of the Samsung Messager R450:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall rating: &lt;b&gt;5&lt;/b&gt; (out of 5)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You know, most people who leave comments about this phone have only had it for a short period of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was given the Samnsung Messenger R450 as a birthday present back in November 2008. If you do the math, I've had it for a year. [It's currently November 2009]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm an on-the-go kind of person. Not much of a phone-talker, but when I am, boy, am I ever. I can be on a call for HOURS on end. I'm a compulsive texter. I check my e-mail constantly. And I mean, like, every 30 minutes. I'm also a Facebook addict, so I'd constantly be online. To top it all off, the alarm and agenda/calendar dictated my day-to-day activities. Suffice to say, my phone had become somewhat of a bible to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With that said:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros:&lt;br /&gt;- Great internet service.&lt;br /&gt;- Texting was fast and easy [also, deleting inbox and outbox was a breeze].&lt;br /&gt;- Battery life is average - lasts even longer if you shut off the backlights.&lt;br /&gt;- Great camera quality.&lt;br /&gt;- Great memory.&lt;br /&gt;- Can create/save text words.&lt;br /&gt;- Dropping the phone a thousand times won't break it [personal experience].&lt;br /&gt;- Great reception.&lt;br /&gt;- Receives texts/picture message/and audio messages INSTANTLY.&lt;br /&gt;- The space for ringtones is INSANE. I have yet to reach a limit! And I've had the phone for a YEAR. [I download A LOT].&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cons:&lt;br /&gt;- Thicker-than-usual phone.&lt;br /&gt;- Space button on the keyboard has to be pressed down on hard (occasionally) to work.&lt;br /&gt;- Screen and buttons are fragile. But just take good care of it, you should be fine.&lt;br /&gt;- No videos.&lt;br /&gt;- Will turn off randomly - rarely, though.&lt;br /&gt;- Inbox/Outbox space is 70/30. [That's very little for an avid texter]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All in all, I loved that phone with all my heart. It was great. The screen ended up breaking because my [overweight male] cousin cracked it by [repeatedly] stomping on it with all his might. I nearly killed him. That phone survived it all: for a YEAR. Except that. Which would?! No regrets. In fact, I had bought it when it JUST came out - when it was most expensive; mark my words: WORTH EVERY CENT. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My company: Metro PCS&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Not only is the phone great eye candy, but it delievers with great service as well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros:&lt;br /&gt;Large vibrant screen&lt;br /&gt;Loud speakers&lt;br /&gt;Spaced out Keyboard&lt;br /&gt;Easy to personalize phone&lt;br /&gt;Comes with MicroSD Slot for extra Memory&lt;br /&gt;Great Reception&lt;br /&gt;All features work great...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cons:&lt;br /&gt;The phone: great. The battery: Not so great.&lt;br /&gt;Can't enjoy all the phone has to offer without extra memory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all that said if your a MetroPCS Customer this is truly one of the best phones they have... GET ONE =)Or get the new messager, either one...&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;ladykennyg submitted this review of the Samsung Messager R450:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall rating: &lt;b&gt;3&lt;/b&gt; (out of 5)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I'm have service with Cricket in Phx, az. I had the samsung basic flip, and while it worked great and stuck out with me for a couple yrs, it was time for a new phn. It doesnt come with the card, but its only 14 bucks...in AZ anyway.  It has pretty good service thru the ear piece, The bluetooth works great. There are no built in games. The phone haa a lot of bugs and freezes up all the time...that was one thing I hated. There's no email client but who cares, thats what a lap top is for. The slip where the card incert is pretty easy,  unlike my hint which is what I have. I couldnt even find the navigation but thats what a garmin is for. I like that I can use my music as ringtones, it saves money.  What I really like about the samsung 450 is that it had the music player, and a slot for me to put in my card, and at the time that was my first music phn experience. However, the music does not play clear and it is very fuzzy, it was enbarrassing to play it in public even. The Keyboard wrks great, and even now I miss that phn because of the large numbers and letters. The battery life was very good, it lasted for days. The camera screen was nice and large and the camera took great pics. Overall though this is a very good phn, it has no video capture but i loved it. The only reason I dnt have it is because my BF smashed my phn, during one of his anger tantrums, buts it never drops calls. Its really heavy and it would never fit in your pocket, but it was the best phn i ever had, unfortunately, it discontinued with cricket so...:-/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros: &lt;br /&gt;large screen,&lt;br /&gt;keyboard buttons are large,&lt;br /&gt;can use mp3 music as ringtones,&lt;br /&gt;good battery life&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cons: &lt;br /&gt;The MP3 player plays music terrible, too much static.&lt;br /&gt;phone is heavy&lt;br /&gt;does not come with usb cord or headphns,&lt;br /&gt;you have to exit the music player to do anything,&lt;br /&gt;pics take forever to load,&lt;br /&gt;phn is slow and freezes, a lot of bugs,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a phn that cost me 220 dollars, its pretty much worth the money.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I absolutely love it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros: good signal, great sound quality, great battery, everything is great.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cons: none&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The signal strength and sound quality is great. I am with metro pcs in the dallas/forth worth area. If you are with metro pcs and do not have this phone, you should really go out and by it. I don't know about how good it holds up when you drop it because I have not dropped mines [[yet]] =] but I'm pretty sure it would hold up well, its seems like a pretty sturdy phone. I also love the qwerty keyboard since I'm a txt addict =]&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Period. The hardware has capabilities that are crippled by the OS. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Examples: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am unemployed. I want to be able to e-mail my resume from the SD card. Nope, it only allows pictures and music to be sent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has a GPS chip. (So everyone tells me). I cannot get software for it. I have cricket. Only MetroPCS has the software, and they won't share. Google maps does not work on it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want other software for it like a Bible. Nope. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It says it has stereo bluetooth. The range on the bluetooth is soooo bad that I have to hold the phone in front of me so that I get a clear signal to my earpiece. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hardware will handle these functions. The keyboard is not that great either. I only give a vendor one shot at screwing me on a purchase. This was my first AND last Samsung phone purchase.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I instantly fell in love with this phone as soon as i started browsing around in it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pro's:&lt;br /&gt;-big screen&lt;br /&gt;-texting is amazing ( at first its hard because ur hands hurt after doing it for so long but after awhile u get use to it and LOVE it)&lt;br /&gt;-have a music player&lt;br /&gt;-signal is great.&lt;br /&gt;-the persons voice u talk to on other line doesn't sound terrible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;cons:&lt;br /&gt;-The battery life could be a bit better.&lt;br /&gt;-internet is kinda slow (metro atleast)&lt;br /&gt;-camera doesn't have flash. (IT'S decent, The pictures r mostly pretty when ur in sunlight&lt;br /&gt;-no video taking.&lt;br /&gt;- turned off and on like 2 times. (rarely ever does that)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this is a really good phone and i know that u won't regret getting it.&lt;br /&gt;If u do u purchase it go to http://www.myxer.com/&lt;br /&gt;which can give u free ringtones, wallpaper, videos, and games((:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Good reception, great sound quality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Nice loud speakerphone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Buttons on keyboard are large and far apart, waaay easier to text/email accurately on than a Blackberry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cons:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Bigger, heavier and especially *thicker* than you probably expect. Not a comfortable shirt pocket phone. Barely ok as a front pants pocket phone, but you're not going to forget it's there, that's for sure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Otherwise excellent keyboard has no return key! WTF?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Accessing email or IM requires sliding open the keyboard, even if you're not going to use it and just want to read messages. Bye-bye quick one-handed email checking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Themes are limited to two, both of which are kind of ugly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Factory ringtones are seriously lame, and adding your own requires purchasing and installing a memory card first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall, decent phone for someone who keeps it in a bag or purse and talks on a Bluetooth headset most of the time, and who texts and/or emails mainly when sitting down. Less good for someone who doesn't carry a bag or needs to check text/email on the go.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I get mostly good feedback from it. The only issues I generally receive are that when the phone isn't turned off in about 3 days the phone turns itself off and on again. &lt;br /&gt;With Metro PCS most of the phones aren't very good quality but this one works very well, and rarely has any issues occur.&lt;br /&gt;I also get very good reception on the phone, almost always have at least three bars. &lt;br /&gt;The battery life isn't too bad for me. It lasts me throughout the day if I don't text all day.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
