I received the Samsung Blast phone two months ago from a T-Mobile dealer in the mall for a small fee. I have been very satisfied with the phone, I actually find the two letter buttons better for texting than full keyboard cell phones. I have always liked slider/flip phones so that is a plus but there is an issue. Since day one, the phone could not even hold a day worth of battery power...I even had the battery replaced and it still held little charge.
