I can't understand any of the bad reviews. I have owned a total of 4 samsung phones, this one being the 3rd and best (they have all been good). I have never had any problems with dropped calls or anything. The speakerphone is awesome, loud and clear. The camera is great and is way better than the new phone I just got that has a 1.3 camera. I am thinking about returning my new phone, even though it has some nice extra features, and just going back to this one. Everything about this phone is wonderful. I have used this phone for two years and the the only negative thing I can think of about this phone is that it can't ring and vibrate at the same time.</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=802 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=802&r=30490#review30490 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=802&r=30490#review30490 Sat, 16 Aug 2008 00:20:46 GMT <p><i>Melz submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T309 / T319:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>0</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I can not even give this phone a 1.

I am a huge fan of texting, using about 12,000 a month, and this phone is simply not built for texting. The buttons are starting to come loose. Not to mention the fact that the phone is constantly shutting off during texting.<br /><br />The sound quality on calls is also poor, speaker phone drowns everything out, and I have to shout for people to be able to hear me on the other line. <br /><br />This phone has been dropped maximum 3 times from about 3 feet, never been wet. (The sticker in the battery compartment is still white.) I take very good care of the phone, and am not getting much back out of it.<br /><br /><br />Bottom line, I would not recommend this phone to anyone, not even an enemy. Don't waste your money, unless you will only have the phone for a short time.</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=802 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=802&r=25221#review25221 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=802&r=25221#review25221 Wed, 19 Sep 2007 01:38:50 GMT <p><i>treed submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T309 / T319:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3</b> (out of 5)</p><p>We really like this phone for its basic design and function. But, there is no way to turn off select "pay for" features. My husband has a big thumb and depresses the left arrow on the main function key often when he is trying to "submit" a call with the green phone icon. Therefore we get text message charges when neither of us would be able to see the keys to send that type of message. I warn all of you to not depress the left arrow and the call button at the same time. You will be texting your pizza shop land line. All the best.</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=802 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=802&r=23299#review23299 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=802&r=23299#review23299 Sat, 02 Jun 2007 18:07:51 GMT <p><i>jmm19921992 submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T309 / T319:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>So i got this phone in November 2006 .. and like most of my new phones, i like it from when i get it to about a month later..

I've had it for about a year so far. It will randomly and frequently turn off but then turn right back on again. Also sometimes it won't stop vibrating so you have to power it off and then power it back on again. The sound on the phone isn't that good, for example if you're making a phone call you can't hear the other person talking very well. But the ringtones you can hear clearly, except they aren't that many too chose from. <br /><br />PROS:<br />-says the time on the outisde of the phone<br />-says whose calling on the outside of the phone<br />-you can see the numbers on the phone very clearly <br />-ringtones are loud<br />-can have vibrate and your ringtone at the same time<br /><br />CONS:<br />-doesn't have many ringtones<br />-you can't see your phonebook on the screen, you have to go to menu and so on<br />-randomly vibrates and powers off<br />-signal isn't great, it will show that you have bars but it will still say no service<br /><br />-you can't see the picture ID on the outside of your phone<br />-you can't record something and set it as your ringtone</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=802 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=802&r=21920#review21920 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=802&r=21920#review21920 Sun, 04 Mar 2007 23:07:21 GMT <p><i>neh submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T309 / T319:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This is the best phone with the best service that I have ever had. It is great. It has many features, such as a -zones, a voice recorder, and much much more. I have the Samsung T319 on the T-Mobile To Go service. It allows you to make calls to 611 (T-Mobile Cust. Service.) for free! The phone has a total of 6 bars. The display is great. It is very clear. The sound is great too. It comes with many great ringtones and MegaTones. Most people that I call do not know that I am on a cell phone. They said I sound like I am calling from a landline. The picutes are great too. The pictures are better than the Kyocera Cyclops which has a 1.3MP camera! If you do not have a good signal, try turning the phone off for 15 seconds and turn it back on. That usually gives you a better signal. This phone also have Instant Messenging (IM). It works great. You can have the phone lid shut and still recieve instant messages. T-Mobile charges them as text messeges. The battery life is great. It will give you a warning if it is too low and it will shut off the backlight so it will save power. I have traveled a lot with this phone and have never gotten a dropped call. T-Mobile To Go will refund a dropped call if you do the following. <br /><br />1. Know the time the call was dropped and the number that you were talking to.<br /><br />2. Call the number back within 5 or 20 minutes. (I am not sure.)<br /><br />3. Call custermer care within 24 hours.<br /><br />Like I said, I have never had a dropped call, so I have not gone through the process. You cannot send an email from this phone. If someone sends an email to it, it will allow you to reply, but not send to a new address. I get between 4-6 bars in a 3 bar area. In a 1 bar area on the coverage map I have gotten 6 bars. This phone lets you take plently of pictures. It has a lot of room for them. Again, this is a GREAT phone. The best one I have ever had.</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=802 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=802&r=20605#review20605 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=802&r=20605#review20605 Mon, 18 Dec 2006 23:57:14 GMT <p><i>SamT309 submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T309 / T319:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I LOVE my Samsung T309.

At least not to my knowledge.<br />*Phone sometimes freezes if you try to make it do too much. You'll have to take out the battery to reboot it at this point.<br />*zomg 3mb is not enough to store stuff with. I know it's cheap, but add a memory card slot or something.<br /><br />Pros:<br />*Cheap. This is a major concern for me as I am poor.<br />*Decent camera. I didn't think it was that great, personally, but I continually get compliments on picture quality from other camera phone users. It's my first phone, so I'll take their word on it.<br />*Lots of little boredom features. Yeah, you CAN get directions with it. If you feel like waiting fourteen hours. That's not the phone's fault, though - it's the slow internet connection. Which is also not the carrier's fault. It's just like having dial-up all over again. Only with a smaller screen. :( Emergencies only.<br />*E-Mail works great! Good job phone, gets messages pretty quickly and alerts you of them promptly.<br /><br />Don't take my good review to mean this phone is the best. It's not. It's probably the best for its' price range and maybe one range above that. It certainly exceeded my expectations for such a cheap 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=802 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=802&r=19843#review19843 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=802&r=19843#review19843 Sun, 12 Nov 2006 07:04:51 GMT <p><i>prettyprincesscorn submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T309 / T319:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I got this phone for free from T-Mobile and it's pretty good..<br /><br />PROS:<br />Pretty good camera and video camera, zoom is great too<br />Never had a dropped call<br />Menu very easy to navigate<br />AIM is always good<br />Ringtones are loud<br />Speakerphone is loud and clear<br />Very very sturdy, I have dropped this phone many times and not once has it messed up the phone, aside from minor scratches<br /><br />CONS:<br />Every so often shuts off on me, especially when I text message or go on T-Zones, very annoying<br />Sometimes when I am calling or receiving a call, I cannot hear anything, but if I just hang up and call again it works, also annoying<br /><br />Over all great 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=802 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=802&r=19477#review19477 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=802&r=19477#review19477 Tue, 24 Oct 2006 01:15:17 GMT <p><i>yanike submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T309 / T319:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I just left ridicules Boost Mobile.
