GET IN MY BELLY

[jubmasterflex]

@maddie3rocks I lol'd.

[texasdude247]

Put some life into ur vids, god every video I wana fall asleep!

[bqx4u2]

@texasdude247 hahahahaha this one is the abs worstttt thoooo

[sortman94]

i have this. shit. battery barely last 24 hours, buttons are breaking, and it just sucks. if it wasnt for verizon ALWAYS having servixe, i woulda smashed it with a hammer. so glad i ordered a devour

[minirey360]

but it broke cuz the 1-2-3 buttons wouldnt work so its in the trash right now

[minirey360]

i had this phone. i wanted to throw it in a lake. it sucked the battery was like one day long. it was scratched as hell. hard to text. and almost blinded me cuz its to FUCKING SHINY!!!!!!!!!

[FlemanX360X]

I've had this phone for about a year now, and I've enjoyed everything about it. The sound from music playing is very clear and loud, the camera is decent, and all of the features are nice. Only complaints I've had are the front screen, and the camera. The front screan cracks very easily, so now my whole front screen is turning a weird green color. The camera is usless in the dark. The memory card slot is retarded, why behind the battery? Overall, I'd give it 4.5 out of 5.

[TomyTomyDur]

Is it just me or does every video this guy makes sound really annoying ? its like hes reading everything from a card he doesnt flow through his presentation at all

[JCM123ful]

í just broke this phone's screen yeah it was sad but i didnt like it at all now i have a blackberry touch yeah this 1 rocks it it way better than da gleam because the gleam's speakers are crazy when ever i played a song sometimes it was loud and sometimes really low oh yeah and the camera it doesnt have a flash. try taking a picture in a room and it looks orange that is dumb but the video is great in that phone you can record tv shows i used to do that all the time but that is soooooooooo cool

[Kieran321x]

I have this phone, im not a fan.

1. its too fucking shiny

2. no qwerty

3. battery sucks. living wallpaper will kill it even faster

4. camera sucks

5. scratches, and shows fingerprints like mad.

6. speaker phone sucks. not loud enough at all.

7. battery case falls off all the time

its a very straight forward phone....

but I wouldn't recommend it

[whitebread79]

if your hard on a phone, its not for you . it scratches very easy and its not durable.

[drum4tacos]

true that, ive gone through 5 of them just from having them in my pocket. well, i did hit one of them with a drumstick (that only fucked up the face, it still worked fine)

my current gleams front screen will randomly turn on when its closed. no, i did not hit this one with a drumstick lol

[K6G9]

i liked this phone more than my env touch. its a really nice phone but the only thing i didnt like was fingerprints show up very easily.

[maxpoma]

this is a very cool phone. I like it because its small and stylish and does everything all the higher priced phones can do. It also is much different then all the other verizon phones. The internal display and everything is awesome. Great phone reception is great and is very durable. Only thing that is bad is it shows finger prints but i keep it cleaned so who cares. i would rate it 9 out of 10. camera is good but no flash...thats my only complaint.

[spencer769]

Mom has it. The purple got it for free from VZW. I don't like it. She texts and it's hard to do from it.

[theMNmetaldude]

I have this phone right now for another year. I would give it an 8 out 10. There is one thing that I don't get about this (well I don't like) is every now and then when I have my sound set to a certain volume level (whether its ringtones, sounds, or music) it sometimes plays at a very high level. Sounding like the speaker will blow. To fix this, I just restart the phone and it's back to normal. I don't get how to fix that. But other than that, the phone is great.

[spartansfan868]

camera sucks and my phone struggles to turn on it wont

[XSteelCobraX]

It's a really good phone don't listen to any of the people that say it sucks. It doesn't...

[12345timm]

my fone's camera just died. wenever i press the camera button it says " camera error" anyone know how to fix?

[metallicman94]

good phone

[OMGYouJustKilledIt]

i had this phone for almost 2 years and i wanna take a poop on it, throw it into britney spear's vagina, light it on fire and throw holy water on it. thats how much i hate this phone....dont get it trust me you'll hate it.

[whaojen]

uuhg, I hate my gleam. I got it replaced because the screen went to static and wouldnt budge no matter what I did.

[sk8terpimp1245]

this phone is okay but it doesnt last long on battery life and when u text it decreases by half besides dat its okay but im gonna go back with metro pcs and reactivate my razr which i think is better

[BloisFulcher]

Decent review, but sounds very automatic and lifeless, like you were reading from a piece of paper with bad handwriting.

[MeganDaniellexox]

does it have a place for a charm.

(:

[FHgoalie24]

no it doesnt =[

im sure you could drill a hole in it. haha =p

[panjfl]

Too bad the phone isnt combatable with Microsoft Sync system. A firmware update is needed!!!

[howlettman]

whats that do i got this phon 30 min ago and i cant get the write drivers for it via bluetooth on my PC

[XxLiLCuTiE5xX]

thx!! after i saw this review i bought it!! that waz just now!! :) r there any other cool 3-D wallpaper things??

[FHgoalie24]

there are "living wallpapers" which are pretty much 3-d.

you can have city of country background.

the sky in the wallpapers change from light to dark depending on the time of day.

its really cool

[zipmouth619]

this phone looks tight

[FHgoalie24]

i have this phone and i love it.

with the whoel smudge thing, you can just wipe it right off with your shirt or anything really

[ash6196]

is the camera and texting good?

[FHgoalie24]

yeah the camera quality is really good actually. and i love the texting on it. since the keys dont stick out, they are pretty much silent when you type, so if you need to be sneaky and text during school or somewhere quiet no one would be able to hear it. unless you make the keypad have sounds. but yeah, ive had it for about a year now and i havent had any issues. im actually planning on getting the enV2 just because i want full keyboard now.

but yeah texting and the camera are very good =]

[ash6196]

im only 2, do u think it will fit me?

[meetmeatthearmpit]

lmbfmfao

[ash6196]

lol

[FHgoalie24]

2?

if you meant 12 then im sure you would be fine. it all depends on you really.

[ash6196]

lol i was kiddin im 13. i'm plannin to get the motorola krave. i heard it's a great phone

[FHgoalie24]

haha oh :p

i have also heard good things about that phone :]

[sobeaholic11]

gleam or sway?!?!?!? Helppp

[falloutgirl874]

the gleam is pretty ugly! get the glyde its the best!

[ashleyacre]

Just got one today and changed the wallpaper in 2 mins. Try tools/settings. display. wallpaper, main, and select what you would like.

[JTC2films]

can u change the wallpapers? i dont really like that cars on the road wallpaper. i just want the normal wallpaper where i just choose one of my pictures or vids to be wallpaper. PLZ ANSWER cause i think i might get this phone if u can!

[XxLiLCuTiE5xX]

yaa u can change the wallpaper!! but idk if there's any other cool 3-D things!! :)

[JTC2films]

thanks

[iluvtheboiatchurch11]

ok im gonna get a new phone and i dont know which one i should get the purple gleam or the new chocolate?? someone help

[GamerAntman]

Today I'm decide the Chocolate 3 or Gleam we have the same problem.

[iluvtheboiatchurch11]

haha both of um sound nice.

[thatmaninclothes]

Gleam:D

[chltmdwp]

wtf is wrong with you people? i dropped it so much time and it still works. Those Gold color parts are steels. solid phone, with great design inside(layout of the numbers) If you hate it, you've never owned one. For those who says this phone lags, you must be a retard. For those who says buttons are flat, you've never had razor b/c razor too has flat number buttons. Every friend who saw my phone says that is a sick phone. so piss off

[ABR928]

it's a piece of shit i hate it! fucking phone

[AdrianTheCorruptor]

This thing is so smudge-prone. Hell, it came perfectly packaged with smudges already on it!

Unfortunately, the image verizon has shows it as having a silver border... so I was saddened when the one they sent me ended up gold (I don't have anything gold, it looks so out of place). I hope they have a silver one I can replace it with :(

[gaming518]

I've had the phone for a month now i dont like it the bottons are so flat its very easy to over lap the bottons with your fingers when dailing..my old razor phone is a zillion times nicer than this peace of junk ..

[soccerchick6767]

i just got this phone 2day and im pist i had the venus and i loved it but it broke so now im stuck with this ugly ass phone.i had to pay for half but i wanted a phone not a piece of shit

[t8theegr8]

SO ugly...

[BCAFSPA]

I have this phone and i luv it the one thing i h8 is it smudges alot and gets finger prints on it

[david10291029]

i hate this phone its sitting in my lap and it fucking fails it laggs alot, and ive had it for abt 6 months and now its totaly fucking up for no reason it sucks asshole.. =[

[bmxer193]

I have had mine for 10 months with no probelms, I have even dropped it in a lake while boating and it still works 100%. But you do get alot of finger prints on it

[xfigurexsk8rx4evax]

i have the voyager :} it rox. i used to have the chocolate but i didnt like it at all

[ABSOLUTEROYALTY619]

ive had this phone for bout a month and altho it has a couple glithcehes, i love it, the picture button on the side could be bigger, or maybe i jus have fat fingerz lol, but its a great phone and i would recomend it =]

[melly6970]

I just ditched the samsung glyde for this phone, and couldn't be more happy, very nice phone.

[eastcoastswells]

ive had this a year  great phone but im upgrading to voyager

[Fireinme81207]

nice phone, just dont drop it, the whole front plate is glass, that can break pretty easily, and you dont get scratches when you drop it, you get craters

[bmxer193]

ive droped mine many times on tile and have crashed on my dirtbike with it, leaving a huge square on my leg but its still in great condition

[TheGame55]

I got this phone today, so stoked.

[dragking02]

the best phone ever i wanted that thing for a year/long time im finally getting it its the best

[bersociety999]

i have that same camera........

[Pocketdisk95]

Im Getting That Or The Alias

[insanecandy998]

to b honest, the alias would not make a good phone in my opinion, although ive never had it, my friend has, and it can get kind of confusin. but it has a very nice style

[XtremeMoviez]

Get this one. I have it now and it's really nice and fast. I'm upgrading to the Voyager though :)

[cvin519]

get the env2

[JJOSamsung]

i wish there wasn't that little donut around the camera lense.

[insanecandy998]

i feel the same way

[leedsunited123]

i dont lyk this fone at all everything about it

[schillaciowen]

i have owned this phone for six months now, worst cell phone i have ever had. when i first got it it was cool the living walpaper was neat and the battery was good. now i get like no reception anywhere. it turns off every hour and takes atleast 5 minutes to turn back on. the battery lasts a good ten hours when i dont use it...if i send more than 100 texts i lose over half of the life. i would not recomend this phone to anyone...i still gotta live with it for one and a half more years!!

[BrownEyedbballer18]

really? i want the FlipShot

[chubechpmnk]

Sounds like a battery issue, not a phone issue. When I bought this phone, I was warned that since it's so thin, the battery life wouldn't be as long as some phones. I charge mine every other day. Awesome phone. I get lots of compliments on the sweet purple style!

[schillaciowen]

its not a battery issue, i have gone into verizon many times and they finally admitted i got a defected model and sent me a new one, it is better but still not a great phone

[SkinnyGuy59]

I don't think you can get it in blue anymore. I think that was a limited time thing back when the phone first came out. But I may be wrong.

[AjaLinder]

it was actually purple

[SkinnyGuy59]

No they had a blue and black one that came out last year when the Gleam was first released. It didn't last long. Before they went to the gold model. Then just recently they had the purple version for the limited time.

[AjaLinder]

i went and got this phone today, i am with verizon, and it is definitely purple, not blue...i got the chrome colored one, but i am going to go back to see if they get the purple one in soon. it is in high demand.

[musicinspector1]

which 1 is better the samsung gleam or the lg enV

[DeEOfsPaDeZZ34]

enV

[tonythebaker]

neither

[paulfatkid]

samsung gleam but there completely different phones

[Fireinme81207]

holy crap that thing is shiny!!

[razrvin]

pumpkinking77, yes there is a digital clock (with the option of no clock display and analog clock display), and yes you can record videos (either 30 seconds for a Flix Message or as much as your phone/microSD card can hold).

[jeffly]

obviously the phone is called gleam. it would have shiny parts on it. the numberpad being shiny is part of it.

[pumpkinking77]

can anybody tell me if this phone has a digital clock and can record videos??????

[paulfatkid]

i dont know about the digital clock but most samsung phones do, but this phone does record videos for about an hour(if you have memory)

[razrvin]

Yeah I just got this phone for myself about two days ago. It's a great phone, and I love taking pictures/recording videos etc. Also, the gold trim looks pretty cool. Great phone! Anyone looking for a great phone, (plus inexpensive), then get this phone for sure!!

[SkinnyGuy59]

I was thinking about getting this phone and was wondering if there was a usb cable you could buy to sync music to it from windows media player. I don't have a media card reader on my computer and was hoping the phone had the capabilities to sync music with a cable. If anyone knows thanks in advance.

[razrvin]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that there is a USB plug that you could buy, I'm not entirely sure.

[vaballr23]

yea there is a package that comes with a bunch of stuff u need to download music...I have it it includes a USB

[karatePrincess67]

i have this phone and i love it! excpet for the fact that i can't figure out how to download stuff from my computer (it doesn't have a USB plug) but thats ok...love it anyway!

[fritzieca]

i havethis phone...& i really love it especially the camera & viodeos coz its very clear...

[kaykaybebbs]

i just got that phone like 3-4 days ago! its a great phone yo!

[oceaneyes2792]

i just got this phone today and i love it! i was about to get the lg 8700 but i liked the way this one was built better! i would suggest buying it if you want to i havent found anything bad about it

[kelleywashere565]

ive got the u540, great phone, exactly the same,but lot cheaper.

[billztheman]

same here its a great phone

[mrgibby33]

not really exactly the same, looks a lot cheaper too

[carsismeZ06]

I'm thinking about getting a Samsung u410, do you have a review? Or know of a video review? I'd like to see all of its features and stuff

[Hardstyle1OOpercent]

u410 is a good phone, its not the best but its pretty fun and its durable

[jzbo1]

wow
