You can easily navigate and figure out the phone without using the instruction manual. <br />I have had my phone for about a year and am very satisfied with it. it's easily personalizable. i have had no problems with it and reccomend 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=2051 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2051&r=37502#review37502 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2051&r=37502#review37502 Sat, 24 Jul 2010 01:01:25 GMT <p><i>narn3049 submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T239:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>It's REALLY great, ( and highly customizable with its ringtones. My friend had the t629 went to this and liked it but then went with a sidekick. So this phone is good and a good phone for users who don't need much on theyre phones. But my friend wasn't that user and had to have a keyboard lol</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=2051 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2051&r=37380#review37380 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2051&r=37380#review37380 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 02:44:43 GMT <p><i>ssmithfam submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T239:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I bought this phone in December 2009 to replace an aging Nokia bar phone. The price was right at WalMart--$39.95 from the T-Mobile Pay as You Go. I just put my SIM card in and I was up and running.<br /><br />The screen was colorful, and the menu fairly intuitive. The keys were large--an important point for my 55+ year old stubby fingers. Battery life was good overall-- 3 days or so between charges with moderate use.<br /><br />Some of the phone's flaws were apparent fairly quickly, such as the flat keys that make it easier to "fat finger" two keys at once (a raised sections in the keys would allow more precise dialing) or the maddening lag time between pressing the key and having the character appear when texting. Picture quality from the camera is quite poor as well...<br /><br />The worst problem is that, for the last 4 months, the phone drops calls and shows no network even while showing 2 or 3 bars. It also has poor reception indoors. In addition, information put into contacts disappears and can't be retrieved.<br /><br />I would not buy another T239, and have become extremely wary of Samsung phones in general.</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=2051 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2051&r=36739#review36739 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2051&r=36739#review36739 Wed, 07 Apr 2010 21:30:22 GMT <p><i>davidbagga submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T239:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>not a bad phone, the only thing i would say that sucks is the camera on it, i don't really use a camera but i thought samsung would've come up with a better camera but overall its a good phone, the talking clarity is good and its good for people that want a simple 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=2051 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2051&r=36733#review36733 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2051&r=36733#review36733 Wed, 07 Apr 2010 01:16:31 GMT <p><i>lcoger26 submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T239:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I bought this phone because I wanted a change from the Motorola w490 I had. I popped my SIM card in and I liked the phone right away. It does the basic things a cell phone is supposed to do. I bought my daughters the phone and they liked it too.

I wanted a basic phone - don't do the texting, etc., but I was expecting relatively good service. My experience: <br /><br />Pros<br />Camera okay.<br />Good battery life - no need to charge everyday.<br />Easy to use features. <br /><br />Cons<br />Extremely poor call quality.<br />Very slow response dialing input numbers.<br />Even when closed/locked and in purse, slight pressure against phone caused calls to be initiated.<br /> <br />I got rid of the phone because I was tired of the poor quality of the calls - I need reliability.</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=2051 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2051&r=35030#review35030 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2051&r=35030#review35030 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 18:26:27 GMT <p><i>myPhone2008 submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T239:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone has nothing high tech in it where it compares to any smart phone, although it is a great little phone. Its sturdy and can last a while if you take care of it. It has an "ehh" camera on it, but for someone who doesnt need something fancy just needs to recieve and make phone calls, this is a PERFECT phone for them! And it is cheap as well!<br /><br />=)</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=2051 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2051&r=34620#review34620 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2051&r=34620#review34620 Sat, 01 Aug 2009 19:02:12 GMT <p><i>knuckleballer34 submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T239:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Although it doesn't offer anything bold or exciting, the more I use the t239, the more i'm growing to like it. It's a nice little basic phone that looks good, and performs rather well for the price. <br /><br />Pros:<br />-Very good call quality, with loud earpiece and speakerphone<br />-Battery life is excellent.<br />-Attractive design and easy to use. The keypad and navigation array are both very well designed. Comes with dedicated messaging and internet keys, which is a nice touch.<br />-Light and comfortable to use<br />-Menu is simple, which nowadays is always a welcome addition<br />-Web browser was surprisingly quick. The specs list it as "GPRS" capable, but that's a snafu-it has EDGE data speed. Don't go expecting full html sites though.<br /><br />Cons:<br />-Reception. This is not the phone for fringe areas. If you normally get an average signal or better in your area, it's not a problem. If you normally get 1-2 bars of service, it's not the phone for you.<br />-Ringtone quality is terrible. REALLY terrible. <br />-Camera could stand to be improved a bit, but it's not totally bad.<br />-Bluetooth function is limited to using a headset, and cannot be used to transfer data. <br /><br />Overall, I am very pleased with the Samsung T239. It's a basic phone that has good call quality, good battery life, and a responsive basic web browser. It also looks much better than T-Mobile's other reasonably priced pre-paid models. Those looking for a signal puller or camera/multimedia device, search elsewhere. If your in a good reception area and don't want to purchase a replacement phone that looks like a toy, the T239 is worth a look. I'd recommend 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=2051 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2051&r=34014#review34014 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=2051&r=34014#review34014 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 17:53:55 GMT <p><i>Qbanbull submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T239:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Ok here it goes. I bought this phone to use for my Tmobile Service. Although it sells for prepaid, I was able to pop in my own Sim Card and it worked like a regular Non-Prepaid phone. Anyway, This phone is not all that great, very Basic. <br /><br />Pros<br />Good Call Quality<br />Great Camera for being a VGA, I thought it was a Megapixel<br />Awesome Battery Life. Didnt need to charge everyday, And Im a talker.<br />Very nice and slim. <br />Slides very smoothly<br /><br /><br />Cons<br />Very slow reponse in almost eveything<br />Texting is horrible, takes forever. Im a fast typer, the phone can't keep up with me. <br /><br />Thats all I can think of. I got rid of the phone in less than a week because I got really frustrated. <br /><br />Overall... If you want a basic phone and dont want to spend alot of money, this phone will be ideal... but JUST BE PATIENT.. if not buy something else that will keep up with all you fast texters.</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=2051
