Great Slider Phone

I swear by Samsung cell phones. The Sway is the third in a series of Samsung phones that I've owned (my last Samsung lasted three years and still held a battery charge for four days at the end of its life). When shopping for a new phone, I knew I wanted a slider phone and was hoping Samsung had one available. They did: the newly released Sway. So far, the phone has met all my expectations for the quality I have come to expect from the company.
The LCD screen is bright, large and colorful, a wonderful display that rivals anything less than a touchscreen. The 2.0 megapixel camera is a real gem, snapping large, high-quality photos with ease. The menus, too, are easy to navigate with lots of cool extras: three calculators, MP3 ringtones, games, VCAST and Web browsing. Calls come through loud and crisp, and the speakerphone performs its job adequately.
There are a few downsides I've encountered, but nothing to make me resent buying the phone. Perhaps the biggest is the lack of any grip when sliding the phone open. It will take a few weeks to loosen the sliding mechanism, and forget about opening the phone if your hands are greasy or sweaty.
The other downside is the lack of a headphone jack. This means that any wired earpiece you might own is not compatible. The Sway is bluetooth enabled, so you'll have to get a bluetooth earpiece if you want/need hands-free use.
Otherwise, Samsung has released yet another capable phone that is sleek, stylish and packed with features for both the casual and die-hard user alike.
