Heinous for music
I bought these for listening to music on my stall phone not as a hands free way to talk on my phone. They clothed great sound. As a hands free phone i used it one sometimes and it works good enough. I bought another pair for my mate she loves them too.

Slighly beneath average sound
I got this because I downgraded to a legitimate talk Samsung phone and needed some earbuds for it. In that bearing it works great, it takes calls, people haven't complained everywhere the mic quality, and you can listen to your mp3's on it. The sound quality for mp3's is below typical to poor. Expect midrange bass and a hard time hitting effulgently highs. I allowed a break-in time and seen a little bit of rehabilitation on the lows but not much. The also could be do to the straight talk phone that has no settings at all for eq harmonization or base boost. Dont expect them to sound somewhere close to beats by dre but they are usable and durable.

Business with the Alias2
I bought these receiver so I could listen to music on my Samsung Alias2. They vocation great without any setup, the sound is clear although I place of safety't tried making any calls with them. The earbuds and restraint knob are both small, you can easily put them in your help oneself to and not notice any extra weight.
My normal headphones at work are Jbuds, and while the voice isn't quite as good as that set it's not far off - which is great considering the premium. Overall highly recommended.

Works Marked with Samsung Rant
These calling fantastic with a Samsung Rant phone. I have tried many blue tooth head sets, but they always sound to have problems with clairty, volume, car noise, etc... When driving, I solely use one of the two earbuds so that I can still hear other outside noises. Induce never had any problems with people hearing me.

Customer Reviews
customer beware
like all of the phones now years offered by verizon, this phone had its ability to play mp3s harmed by verizon. like the lg 8700 my kid got and a new 8300 a friend got, verizon untouched the software to eliinate your ability to enter the 'secret' menu and OK mp3 playback.
the camera takes great pictures. had to add an internal sensor booster to prevent calls from dropping- my old lg phones with the surface antenna stub ( 8100, 8300) had much better reception.
if you thirst for to playback mp3s, better to go with at&t samsung synch instead of verizon. wma versions of the music aspect like cr*p compared to mp3s. but corporate greed for profits wants to weight you to buy songs from them instead of transferring your mp3s to amicro index card for playback.
btw, unlike lg phones, this model has two secret menus.
update: the mess with calls meant they exchanged my 'new' one for a refrub with updated samsung software 'zh07' on it.

Exciting....well maybe not
I play a joke on owned a number of phones over the course of the last several of years - Blackberries, Treo's, LG Phones including the LG VX9800, Chocolate and the Motorola Razor.
Phone
Imposing call quality. Much better than my chocolate anyhow, the reception is not quite as good as the chocolate. That is not to say reception is bad it legitimate isn't as good as what the chocolate could do. The chocolate was one of the best phones for party that I have ever used.
Camera
Very adequate image quality. Keep in mind that it does not fool a zoom when in still picture mode (camera). The zoom is solely active in video mode. If you do buy the phone make sure you substitute the default setting for the camera to auto. It comes set on portrait photos.
Music
The phone uses a mini-SD and WMA plan for songs. This can be annoying since most online services fix up with provision MP3 format only. To convert your MP3s to WMA format you have to buy Verizon's music nuts and bolts kit for this phone for 30 dollars. I have also capable some skipping in playing back songs via the headset that comes with the music nuts and bolts kit. It is not serious but it is noticeable.
Texting
I am very impressed with some of the texting features on this phone. It has the talent to do a delayed delivery. I get up early in the morning and lots of times last will and testament create a message and save as draft because I don't want to wake the beneficiary up. With this feature you can finish the message and do a delayed childbirth and at a given date/time it will be delivered. Very genial!! Also, a prior review said that you couldn't set the T9 as non-fulfilment. That isn't true. Just go into messages, settings, entr mode. Set the entry mode as "word" which is what Samsung refers to their T9 form as.
Bluetooth
I am currently using a plantronics 655 Bluetooth headset. Right quality is excellent and there have been no complaints from population on the other end.
Ringtones
Ringtones on this phone are very little. However, I have figured out a work around. If you know someone with an LG or Motorola phone (like my strife), have them create a Pix message and attach one of their ringtones to the communication. They can send it to you, you save it and then can use it as a ringtone!!
Update 1/13/07
I returned the phone this evening. Themselves, I had to issues with it. The most serious issue - poor levee. My wife has a Motorola RAZR. When I put the two phones side-by-top and compared signal strength, the Samsung was about a 1/3 less. Our congress location has poor reception anyway, so this was a significant problem. I was constantly loosing calls because of this.
The second culmination, which I mentioned above was the skipping of music. It is my opinion that this is due to the processor. The processor bogs at times, causing the pauses in the music.
I ended up getting the new LG 8600. I ordain be writing a review on it soon but want a few days of usage previous to I do. Stay tuned!
Update 1/14/07
Have used the new LG VX8600 and the treatment is much better than the Samsung. Also, the music doesn't acquire the pauses/skips that I mentioned either (and yes, it was the exact uniform MiniSD card and music).

Loving terrible phone compared to others!
I bought this phone in the long run because I like new cool electronics. It had the swivel screen which on impulse activated the camera, bluetooth and other features.
Pros:
**Turn screen, automatically starts camera after being turned.
**3.2 Megapixel camera (takes superior images).
**Manual camera functions- ISO: auto, 100-800. Metering: general, center, spot. Scene Modes: auto, portrait, view, macro, night, daylight and backlight. Self Timer: 2 sec, 5 sec, 10 sec. Explode Mode. White Balance: auto, sunny, cloudy, tungsten, florescent. Redden Effects: black and white, sepia, negative, emboss, sketch.
**Reveal and close flap for camera, great for dropping it in the dirt. Camera drive never get dirty.
**Video w/ zoom.
**Contacts button is normal on the keypad.
**Very nice media player, plays mp3s either downloading on the phone or transferred from machine to phone.
**Loud speaker phone.
**Loud ear piece, then you even have to turn the volume down because it's too splashy.
**Voice command works, but you can't be in extended network to do it.
**Lots of built-in honour on the phone.
Cons:
**Can only set one shortcut key, so if you need missed calls and alert on the keypad you can only have one of them.
**When zooming into a facsimile that is already taken it takes forever for the picture to be communicated up.
**Menu options are confusing, locating certain options is onerous.
**T9 text: for you quick typers who like to use T9, be ready to switch sneakily and fourth from T9 to abc mode. There are so many words that aren't in the glossary. And you can't program new words in. Also once you start a text report it automatically starts in abc mode, you have to switch to T9. My old motorola hardened to stay in T9 and I could program words into the dictionary.
**Not the easiest phone to profession with. I've had it 3 months and i'm still going to the manual sometimes to physique things out. And this is like my 8th phone I've ever had.
Overall it's an remarkable phone. I absolutely love it. Aside from the T9 (which is the chief downfall for me) the phone is perfect. Spending the $350 on it also stunk, but hey if you scantiness a phone that does tricks, this is the one for you!

Honourable Phone
I've had this phone for on every side a month now and I must say I like it quite well.
The Good:
The primary reason i bought this phone was for the camera. For a phone, it is an astonishing camera. This is the best resolution on a phone in the US right now (there are equally some Nokia's with 3.2, but twice the price). The car focus is very good especially when i want a duplicate of something really close. Another plus is that verizon definite to include some pretty cool picture editing programs in in this. There are the basics: sepia, black and white, and also throughout 13 others. You can decorate the photos with little lop off art and stuff, and probably my favorite part is that you can copy a chest assemble out of a photo and put it on another picture. This is useful for laughs like putting someone's turning point on someone else's body. Also, whenever you take a photograph you will get a big 'wow' effect (or whatever it's called) from the people on all sides of you (because the screen swivels). It has an included multimedia player and an mp3 speculator (has to be unlocked in the secret menu :/ ). One thing i really like is the faculty to start and play songs with the phone closed, but it does experience a while to load. This is a vcast phone, like most of verizon's new phones, but i establish i really haven't used the vcast that much (due to toll). The sound on this phone is very good and it has 2 speakers on either surf for good stereo sound, and the ringtones are loud enough to be heard powdery. Of course it includes picture, text, and video messages (be that as it may the picture and video have to be downsized to be sent). The phone itself is completely sturdy in my opinion and i have even dropped it a few times (it lands like a rattle) and there are no scratches on it. I also do like how everything has a cover remaining it, which protects from dust (major problem for me previously). Everything else has the basic verizon interface (not too big of a fan) and functions exactly fine.
Cons:
Most of the cons here are nothing to do with the phone, but pretty verizon. I switched to verizon because they rumour has it have the best network and service, but i found that sprint had much well-advised reception. Like i said above it does include vcast, but i almost never use it becaues the rediculous 1.99 charge for a 64kpbs song. What i typically do is download the ado off allofmp3 and then tranfer it to the memory card (no need for the music nitty-gritty kit, other than the headphones, becaues i have a SD card hollow out on my computer). But a good idea is to just get the memory membership card because if you get the 'kit' (with usb cable) then you can only access music, while the honour card allows access of pictures, sounds, music, and videos. One item i really don't like is the headphone slot. Samsung has included their 10-pin (i characterize as it's called) slot, but it comes with an adapter to 2.5mm headset. I can't really find any good 2.5mm headphones, so right now i'm buying an adapter from samsung to 3.5mm (equal-sided) off ebay for like $5. The cover for the headphone slot is a genuinely cool sliding one, though it took me about 5 minutes to make heads it out (nearly broke it). The camera is very nice, but the autofocus takes a bit too lengthy (can be turned off). The multimedia is also kind of slow and there 1 in 30 causes the phone to restart when i try to play music (pulchritudinous annoying). Text messaging and picture messaging are great, but ostensibly on certain versions of the firmware, you can't add a word to the text dictionary, which can be maddening. There may seem like alot of cons, but these are the merely things wrong with the phone (mostly petty things), and they can be gotten over in less a week.
Overall:
Even though i listed a lot of cons, i would influentially recommend this phone. Especially for the price now on amazon ($350 in the verizon believe in). The camera is great, and the music features (though laggy) are in the same way very nice.
