  Duration of ownership: 2 Months

  Strengths: Great signal strength MP3 Small & light Able to text while in roaming my old phone didn't do that.

  Weaknesses: Flipping can be annoying but u get used to it. the scroll thing is sometimes a prob if u use it alot.

  Overall: I really love this phone, i think i went to a small town and i had a thought i have the most advance phone in this town I like the fact that its small and can fit into your pocket easy. Also love the fact when im at work i can easly text without anyone seen that i am and fast. The mp3 player is sweet sucked only got the 64mb chip but still ws good but i went and bought the 1GB and loved even more. I was amazed that you actually had about 100MB of memory size with the phone, and the extendanded battery is awesome but looks funny when u talk on it. I do recommend this phone. Its not expensive and i find it resonable price for all what you can do on the phone. It does suck thow that you dont get software to do your contacts etc thow but paying 2.00 isn't bad but still i have a high bill as it is. but anyways yes GREAT PHONE like everything else it has its flaws but some flaws can be worked around.

  Strengths: MP3 and Digital Camera

  Weaknesses: Headset, Flipping the phone a lot

  Overall: I love this product find it useful for more then just a phone on long commutes from my apartment in NYC to work. Granted not many MP3 could fit on the phone as sold to me but still a great product.

  Strengths: MP3 player and phone in 1 very small package. Bright Displays on both sides.

  Weaknesses: you'll do more "flips" than a three ring circus. Camera 6 of 10.

  Overall: I just sold my pocket PC-6700 to get this and I also use a RAZR and this phone kicks both of their butts!! When you are rollerblading, gopeding or bike riding and you want to listen to music and can't miss that special call this is it! Also comes with nice little carry case/external battery pack for extended listening or emergency back up battery. Graphics for both screens are easy to read and colorful. Camera only useful if CNN has no other phones to hire...not recommended for photography class. ALL IN ALL...I'd buy another without a doubt!

  Strengths: price, features

  Weaknesses: schizophrenic interface

  Overall: Using the Samsung M620 Upstage is like trying to have a one on one conversation with a pair of schizophrenic Siamese twins.The concept seems pretty smart. Use the back of the phone as a secondary screen, and I?m sure the engineers thought it was pretty clever too. But the reality of the situation is, you are constantly needing to flip back and forth. The keyboard on one side, and the actual screen to do anything other than telephone someone is on the other side. This phone is a Jack of trades, but a master of none (except maybe telephoning someone). The camera and video phone won?t win any awards for best Cinematography,Typing in text can be done, but an automobile can also be driven using nothing but your feet, however Its not recommended. So far their doesn?t seem to be any interface software for the PC so one can type in phone contacts ,etc via the PC. The USB cable only seems to be useful for the user to download music, but seems very useful for Sprint Inc. to try and sell you just about every good and service under the sun at every juncture. The streaming TV is pretty good, no complaints there except you have to pay more for TV on a 2 inch screen than you do for TV at home on a 50 inch screen with digital surround.If I had it to do over, I believe I would look at a Palm, or some other blackberry type phone and leave this one alone until they come up with a computer interface and a firmware upgrade.
