I'm enclosing my views of Samsung Memoir phone to better assist you with your purchase. I know the importance of being a smart consumer; therefore, before I purchased this phone, it was important to hear and read all the reviews I could to ensure I was buying smart. :)
I've had the Samsung Memoir for over one week now and I'm enjoying every moment. I believe it's well worth what you pay for it. Here's why:
*** THE PRO'S: ***
I enjoy all the features...
- The built in GPS has already helped me find my way to important destinations with no hassle. The camera is higher quality, than my previous Iphone.
- Almost all my friends have asked if I took the pictures with a regular camera...it's my secret now!!!...the Samsung Memoir has made picture taking a whole new experience. With 16G storage, I think I can take a lifetime of pictures to share with my whole family. :)
- The call quality is excellent compared to my previous Iphone. It sounds like the person on the other line is in the room.
- The touch screen makes it easy to text and the rotation of the phone changes the keypad and features to allow for easy use and viewing.
- In my opionion, this phone is a lot like the Iphone.
*** THE CON'S: ***
- When I first purchased the phone I had problems with the phone calling random people. I realized later that the Samsung doesn't place the phone automatically into locked mode; therefore, I caution you to do it yourself.
- Battery life is minimized when you don't place the phone in locked mode. I'm used to the phone doing it for me. Don't let it fool you...the screen will turn black after not using it for a couple minutes (or whatever you set the settings to), but it's not in locked mode; you must do it manually (with the side button). This allows the phone's battery juice to last longer. Using the internet does suck up a lot of juice...so keep that in mind. I try to only use it when I'm hooked up to a charger.
- I urge consumers to purchase a stylist for this phone; as it doesn't come with one. It makes the touch screen easier to use. It's not difficult to function with your finger...but often times when you rush though it you touch keys you didn't wish to. I find myself wishing Samsung placed one in the phone to use, like the Iphone.
- Another thing I've had problems with, (though, maybe I just haven't figured it out yet) when on a call the phone turns black (as it would when locked). When I try to touch the screen to light the screen back up, it has diffulties and only stays lit for a couple of seconds before going black again (not enough time for me to find and click the features). It makes it difficult for me at times to conduct a conference call or select numbers when conducting business calls. Maybe it's just a setting...or maybe it's just the way the phone is programed...time will tell.
- The internet is great...though, I do urge Samsung programers to add a bookmark icon, so I can save all my favorite webpages. It makes it irritating to always have to manually enter all the webpages time after time. Again, maybe it's the phone...or just something I've overlooked.
*** SUMMARY ***
Dispite the con's...I find the pro's to the Samsung Memoir have kept me happy with my purchase.
~ Best wishes!
