Perfect features for the money by G. Alexander on amazon.com May 17, 2012
This phone is great for the money spent. It has all of the features I needed and a great deal more. The downloadable aps are pretty good also. I recommend getting a protective rubber type case for this phone; which is also very affordable right here on Amazon, and it works well.

My first smart phone by Vera on amazon.com Apr 19, 2012
It came with an sd card, but i ordered a bigger one. I didn't need to though it has plenty of space! it opens everything fast. It charged quick, it plays music loudly! The apps are fun.. easy to figure out. It's a nice size, its totally customizable, I'm in love <3
 
Well, I Have Had a Wonderful Experience by Michelle My Belle on amazon.com Jan 18, 2012
Despite what other reviews say. I have had NO problem with this cellphone. This is like a high quality cellphone NOT a cheap piece of junk. Much better than the more expensive Verizon I had. The touchscreen is awesome. Works with long finger nails and ...

Worst phone ever by Scott Neth "Author of Where Shadows Scream" on amazon.com Jun 21, 2012
I am tech savvy and understand electronics. I know what a phone needs to do and this device comes nowhere close. I HATE this phone, the processor is slow, the memory is far too small and the screen is not responsive enough. This is the worst phone I have ...
 
Great looking phone with serious out-of-the-gate Flaws. by nxsdesigns on cnet.com Aug 23, 2011
Over all, if this is what we have to expect from the first batch of this Android, I would stand clear. I returned to the MetroPCS Corporate office to have the issue reported and fixed and was told that since it is such a new phone, Samsung does not have ...
 
A phone with nice features but the big flaw is that it FREEZES by Faith B. "Faith B" on amazon.com Jun 16, 2012
I would have really liked this phone had it not been for the frequency in which it freezes. There are times when it actually turns itself off. Except for that major flaw, it's a neat phone.

Abandon All Hope Ye Who Purchase This Phone by Reece on amazon.com Mar 29, 2012
WORST PHONE EVER. It freezes ALL the time, to the point where I have to restart it at least three times per day. Rather than list everything that is wrong with this phone, I invite you to think of the worst phone you could possibly have; think of the ...
 
Phone is garbage!!!! by Irene "IR" on amazon.com Dec 18, 2011
This phone is no good. Bought on 9/2/11 by 10/18/11 I was on the phone with MetroPCS, who also sucks. The phone has froze several times, MetroPCS does nothing to help, customer service really is awful. Phone is totally dead, Samsung will repair it but ...

Not to mention, the clarity of the videos is just as good...In other words, if you are in a bad location, you may not be able to successfully watch YouTube videos...Works with long finger nails and short, so typing is overall easy...

Phone does look nice & sleek, although the battery cover is very thin & flimsy (it'll be fine once u use a good phone protective cover...The camera truly sucks though, only 3.2 mega pixel w/NO flash (hopefully your not planning to use it mainly for self portraits)cuz pic quality is not good at all...I have missed a text message (never received it)when I was online--that's no good...

Samsung Admire (MetroPCS) Review & Rating | PCMag.com
Runs Android 2.3...Inexpensive monthly plans....Mediocre call quality...No 3G (or 4G)...Low-quality camera....The Samsung Admire doesn't look or feel like a luxury device...The Samsung Admire is a tri-band, 2G 1xRTT (800/1700/1900 MHz) device with 802.11b/g Wi-Fi...On the other end, calls made with the phone sounded muffled and unclear, though noise cancellation was very good...That makes for some slow data speeds on the Admire, though MetroPCS tries to make...
