I purchased teh sch! 870 about 2 months ago and love it. I also loved my previous Samsung phone as they have a clear color display, good volume and connection and battery life is decent. I have no complaints about this phone. I think it is super easy to use for novices and you… read full review »

Less than one month after buying this phone brand new it started powering down for no reason. I would notice I haven't received a call for a while so I would check my phone and it would be off!

The Samsung SCH-A870 is a good phone for the money. There aren't many bells and whistles which tend to increase the cost of a phone while not necessarily increasing the quality. It's a very lightweight phone and not super-thin or tiny which can be an annoyance in my opinion. You can text with this phone and there are several emoticons to choose from. However, if you are an avid texter, this phone may not be for you as you may begin wondering mid-text why you didn't just call instead.… read full review »

Nice size, good sound quality & features, a little hard to use.

If you use Verizon, this is a good looking phone that is comfortable to use and inexpensive, especially when they are offering twofer deals. It took me a bit longer--and more use of the manual--to learn how to use its features than previous phones have taken me. — — Major downside: the speakerphone button is on the side, and it is easy to hit by mistake.

Samsung is a name you can count on. Great reception. The battery has a long talk time. This phone is easy to use. I love the large number clock on the front of the phone, very easy to see the time. Another nice feature is that you can put a picture in the phone so when someone calls you who you have a picture of, it show up. A simple way to screen calls. It is nice and lightweight. And is blue tooth… read full review »

i've preferred samsung phones from verizon for the past four years, i've tried some of the motorola's but they're not worth the extra cash. this one is small, has great battery life and has taken a beating without giving in. i'd definitely buy it again (if they didn't replace all models every… read full review »
