New Samsung P207 for Cingular

Apr 20, 2005 11:02AM PDT

Has anyone gotten this phone yet? How is it? Also, how are Samsung phones in general (I've never had a Samsung).

I am about to migrate over to Cingular from ATT and will have to get a new phone...I'm considering the new Samsung p207. This looks like a great phone with a lot of cool extras...just wanted some other (maybe more knowledgable) opinions.
Thanks!

Keep in mind that it is only available online, not at the retail stores yet.

Be forewarned that Samsung's Repair Service Sucks
Jun 17, 2005 7:03AM PDT

In Sept 2004 I purchased a Samsung D415 cell phone - the handset completely discharges the batteries within 14 hours of standby mode, talk time about 5 minutes. I?ve purchased 3 batteries. It's been to Samsung Repair in Texas twice now, shipping at my expense, for average of 7 weeks per visit, average ?hold time? to speak with next customer service representative 20 minutes, etc. It?s June 16, 2005 and it STILL doesn't work.
Samsung will not repair/replace their product.

So if your Samsung cell phone works - great! If it doesn't - you're in for a world of frustrations because the Samsung Repair customer service process is pathetic !!
