I got this phone for a penny (that was a heck of a deal) and its been worth that and much more. Great nice and simple phone.

I had a LG chocalate 3 and my wife washed it. Thank god for insurance but anyway. My replacement fone is a Samsung Sway. It does all I need it to do other than dont coming with the usb cord to transfer music from my computer to my fone. That is the only complaint I have about theis fone.

I love this phone- but it does annoy me at times. As everyone else has said, the battery life is horrible! You make one long phone call and your battery is down to one bar. I have to turn the phone off at night just to save battery. And I have lost screen pictures a couple of times but other than that I love my phone. Wouldn’t pay any money for it if you are thinking about getting a phone- Verizon should give them away for free. Not a good texter phone by any means

I have had the Samsung Sway for six months so far, while it does have some nice features all in all the phone is a piece of junk. My biggest complaint is the battery. It dies out before they day has ended and that is on a full charge. I have fought tooth and nail with Verizon wireless over this phone. I have been giving 3 battery’s so far and a software flash, neither have fixed the underlying issue that this phone is poorly made. Avoid this phone at all costs! Instead opt for a LG or Sony Erickson.

I have had this phone for a while now and I have only had the screen problem like once if at all. The battery trick works if you take it out for 10 sec. not 5. Other than the defect with the battery meter, no complaints

I just got this phone, and it is annoying me with talking to me when I go through the menus. The only way I can get it to stop is turning the volume off? Am I missing something? How do I shut her up? Please help if you know the answer. thanks!

This phone is a piece of crap. The battery life sucks, and after a month or so the screen will stop working. Don’t bother with this one!

Update from Edd,

The phone got a firmware and tower list (Preferred Roaming List) update from Verizon. After 3 days, the battery is still good and the phone appears fixed. I don’t know whether it was these fixes or if it had to do with Verizon removing and recharging the battery. (One method the blogs talk about to cure the battery problem is to remove the battery for 10 seconds before or after charging. It appears to correctly reset something in the phone that allows a full battery charge or reduction in idle current).
