Samsung - SGH-d357 Cell Phone Review

Need to hear what the person you're talking to is actually saying?
If so, this phone is NOT for you.  It is for psychics only.   I was unable to hear the other end of any conversation, and the problem was so bad, I actually considered having my ears tested.  

First Stop:  Cingular
"Let's see, you bought that phone from us a couple of months ago at a big discount, but you have 16 more months to go on your contract, and it's too early to "upgrade."  How about buying this other phone for $300?"  

Next Stop:  Radio Shack
The competent folks at Radio Shack taught me I could buy an inexpensive Motorola go-phone (see my review) and insert my SIM card in it.   Problem solved, for $50.   Cingular, kiss my grits.  I will be shopping for a new cell company, since you don't understand that customer loyalty is something you want to ENCOURAGE, instead of PENALIZE. 

Possibly a lemon?
My phone was possibly a lemon, but I'll never know.  So I won't try Samsung phones again but will just stick with Motorola or Nokia phones.   My Samsung now makes a dandy $100 paperweight. 

The Bottom Line:  Libby Loathes It.
