Awesome by Amy Hawkins "pysceez" on amazon.com Jun 3, 2012
I got these earphones because I was tired of having to take out my regular earphones just to answer a call. These are awesome not only for the price, but the sound quality is fantastic. When I'm talking to someone through the mic we hear each other perfectly. ...

I must say I was skeptical about buying a phone from LetsTalk, but this has got to be one of the best deals and service from a cell phone company that I have ever experienced. The quality of the Samsung Craft is very good for the price. But what really ...

I must say that I really love this phone! The master volume at it's highest level... by Dionne on letstalk.com Feb 3, 2012
I must say that I really love this phone! The master volume at it's highest level is still a bit low, but this is made better if you acquire a bluetooth. The battery life falters easily if you use the internet a lot or spend a lot of time on the apps ...

Piece of GARBAGE by SessionKing on cnet.com Sep 25, 2011
This phone is a waste of 299.00 dollars and then to think you would have to pay an additional 80 just to replace it with another rebuilt piece of crap. This phone is worthless, I will nevery buy or support anything Metro PCS again.
 
4G speed but on the "wireless web"; whats the point???? by metropcssucksasss on cnet.com Feb 16, 2011
If you just have to have the latest metro phone and don't care about being able to use all of those features they advertised; then by all means go out and spend $300.00 on this piece of crap.. Unless the hacking community comes up with a way to install ...
 
Terrible phone for the price by johnfleckinstein on cnet.com Feb 1, 2011
Phone is horrible for the price you pay at metro pcs! a complete waste of money. My opinion is just get a android from the metro cheaper and technology is much much better. The craft is using the same technology as a phone that was made in 2007! this phone is not a Smartphone at all

I got these earphones because I was tired of having to take out my regular earphones just to answer a call...The placing of the mic closer to the face was a pretty good feature, but could become irritating to have it dangling so close...Not bad for this price if you use it to make calls...

Samsung Craft SCH-r900 Review - Watch CNET's Video Review
The Samsung Craft is the 4G-enabled phone for MetroPCS...It has a bright, crisp AMOLED display and it supports 32GB expandable memory and HD video playback....The Samsung Craft's processing speeds were slow, and 3G support is limited....Familiar touch-friendly icons make it easy to navigate around the dialer, address book, text messages, and Menu...Too bad the e-mailing app is a bit cramped for touch navigation...On the left spine you'll find the volume rocker,...

World's first First LTE phone...Best camera phone on MetroPCS...Excellent video player...High-res screen....Not a smartphone...4G services feel like 3G....The Samsung Craft SCH-R900, the world's first 4G LTE phone is certainly the flashiest handset on MetroPCS...It's the carrier's best cameraphone, it's good for social networking and the screen really pops...I'd say, stick with a clock and a good wallpaper...Compare the Samsung Craft SCH-R900 (MetroPCS) with...
