Samsung - Behold Cell Phone — 

I got this phone with such high expectations of it and they fell far short for me.   One of the biggest attractions of this phone was the camera.... and yet for a 5 megapixel camera, the pictures are attrocious!!!!!  I'm a photographer and they always say the best camera is the one you always have with you.... your cell phone.   I wanted something to snap pictures with so I don't have to carry my huge camera around with me all the time,... and this cell phone camera was supposed to do that for me.  It falls far short.  

Then we have the picture viewer.  Another reason for my purchasing this phone.  I wanted to be able to share my portfolio of photographs with people... and yet when I try, the phone goes off on it's own!  I start scrolling through images and it decides to whiz through them all on it's own at a hundred miles per hour and there's no stopping it.   It's terrible!!!

Phone quality is good.  The video camera is acceptable and it's nice that my son can watch movies on it when I'm grocery shopping!   Still a good phone, but it feels to me as though it was thrown together really quickly and it shows. 

Oh, and for the record I have had two of these as I returned the first one because I was convinced the picture quality was simply because it was a faulty phone, but apparently not.  The picture scrolling problem happened with both phones also.   The camera quality is acceptable in very, very good light, but it's PHENOMENALLY slow and inspite of having a flash, the indoor pictures are useless.
