Samsung Highlight Review - Hands-on - Wirefly.com

[kirsty1517]

ive had this phone for about a year and id only say its good for a temp phone. if you over load it with little comands it will shut itself off then 2 months ago i couldnt send pictures for some reason guess it was to much to ask also cuz everytime it would shut itself off. my brother has the same phone and his did it too then lately his home screen, all the wigets move around and wont let him do anything. but hey that could just be us so if you really want get this phone

[supergt222]

[khirakiwi]

@StevenSupernatural ur stupid. Highlight has more features, i would know i was just in T-Mobile today, looking at both of those phones, and the gravity.

[polish4life7]

does it work without a data service??

[StevenSupernatural]

@polish4life7 yepp, and it does it perfect. Not supposed to delete your contacts like the sidekick

[dangerskater123]

@polish4life7 yes

[BIP265]

wat came out 1st the highlight or the tmobile tap

[StevenSupernatural]

@BIP265 I think the tap b/c the highlight is a light more complex

[richyman416]

How much does this phone cost by itself?

[wensable123]

[soubiluv98]

@VampireEmpress16 - nope, but trust me you're gonna want it when you get it. ;) It's not that expensive, only $10 a month.

[VampireEmpress16]

@soubiluv98 well thats good. my parents don't want to pay more just as long as it lets me text and IM i'm fine :D

[cococrazy1125]

Is there a way to press the phone without so much pressure ?

[theguyinthered]

@cococrazy1125 um not really but really you dont have to apply too much pressure on the phone but if your thinking of getting this phone i recomend it 100%

[joey101ist]

[spiritB0mber]

Do u have to have a data plan with this phone???

[ily3oh3]

nopee

[f41l3n4ng31]

@spiritB0mber There is no data plan with this phone. T-Mobile has unlimitted web for an additional $10 a month. There is also unlimitted messaging for an additional $10 a month. The T-Mobile MyTouch and others, however, do require a $30 data plan (not including messaging).

[Gutsyndicate]

What if I don't need internet, will I still get CNN/ESPN wiget?

[blueaeagle11]

i was wondering the same thing

[thejizzer100]

would you recommend this phone, the memoir, or the behold II?

[xtina526]

dont get the memoir i had that phone and it is not good.

[alasdair529]

yaaah i get this phone in about 1 hour when the ups guy comes. i ordered over the phone and cant wait to get it today woot

[ckrizel]

[CourtneyLovesMileyC]

[801JuggaloSLC]

is there a away to have volume with out the buttons makin a sound.

[alasdair529]

ok great thx for the advice my phone will arrive here on tuesday i cant wait. also does anyone know if i can load movies onto my sd card and watch them on this phone?

[alasdair529]

also does the screen scratch real easily?

[pilotwave]

@alasdair529 i would recommend getting a screen protector for it; and a case.

[alasdair529]

i know some phones can support watching movies off of the sd card. so i was wondering can i watch movies on this phone? like if i download a movie to my sd card? i ordered this phone today and wont have it for a couple of days so any inside info on this phone would help thanks

[mamitchi123]

i dont like the buttones on it :( is the samsung come bakc good and is there going to be a new sidekick

[Myuzaki]

is it a smartphone?

[firesage231]

does it support apps like facebook?

[801JuggaloSLC]

i was thinkin of gettin this couse my contract ended and they said i can upgrade. could i upgrade at walmart someone told me that and it would be cheaper there and a T-mobile store

[1Mizzou]

AAAmazing fone. I love everything about it. it is only 18.88 at wal-mart on upgrade

[vegetablesoupify]

Not bad. I've been shopping around and this seems like a great touch screen phone. I don't need a smart phone, I just want to text and check e-mail and make calls. I really like the interface D: I think I might look around but the unboxing vids for this phone really have me thinking it's "the one".

[christelle2194]

this is a great phone. worth getting. the same as memoir. kinda. but this one only has 3 mp but its good enough.

[princessaku12]

which is better tha highlight or tha behold??

[rawkenday]

they are the exact same trust me i had both at one point but i prefer the highlight because its camera takes less quality pictures but r taken imediately whereas the behold has a noticable lag when taking its higher quaility pics

[febreze858]

does it have wifi?

[eternalfury12]

no wifi :<

[xxoNikkieG]

[monia42594]

[2020jwp]

YUp!! im getting that phone in the fire color cause i think the ice is for girls o it look like a girl phone!

[jbiggioATL8]

thats awesome that u get all that and it doesnt require a data plan. i just ordered a highlight fire.

[Nickdogg42]

which should i get this or th samsung behold. heelllp!!!

[serjeylovesjesus]

what does resistive touch screen mean??

[xxmiaxx95]

@serjeylovesjesus it means that you kinda have to press the screen, unlike idk say the iphone how its very sensitive to touch. i hope i helped

[chongolicous]

it means the phone vibrates when u touch it and u have to press harder unlike the iphone

[FantomLightning]

no thats not what it means go to wikipedia

[sarkerm2]

i don't want a data plan, so i was wondering if data plan is optional with this phone...

[trishkb]

yea i dont want a data plan too lol Im called them and they said you dont

[mkmanmalana]

I got one two

[krkghostgirls]

i have a samsung gravity but i wont this phone

[Brookizzleeee]

which one should i get. highlight, mytouch 3G, or blackberry curve 8900?

[the5thfloormassacre]

highlight

[two6nine]

I exchanged the highlight for the mytouch 3g and love it! mytouch is like the iphone with THOUSANDS of free apps and the ones that cost $ are cheap; .99-$5

[xxmiaxx95]

@Brookizzleeee highlight, you dont need a data plan for this 1 but you do for the other 2 or its not worth it

[trishkb]

Highlight is the cheapest and doesn't require a data plan(extra 40.00 a month with tax) It also comes with Wifi (like the ipod touch). All out its a great phone. My touch is like the iphone, its a fantastic phone BUT it will cost you. It REQUIRES a data plan which is extra 40.00 on your bill. So since you need a voice plan, your bill will be around 90$ a month when you can get the highlight fore only 49.99 a month...blackberry is the same(all)..anyway the highlight does eveything the touch does

[abbycandon]

this phone doesn't come with wifi...you can get the $10 web2go plan with this phone

[Riapooh1]

is it $10 monthly?

[abbycandon]

yeah it's $10 every month. my internet is pretty fast on this phone with that data plan...way better than paying $40/month

[Riapooh1]

ur right except the higlight doesnt have wi-fi

[nads4386]

when you go to youtube can you watch video off the site?

[abbycandon]

yes you can, and it loads very quickly

[krmlgrl08]

This or The Tap?

[xxmiaxx95]

@krmlgrl08 this

[trishkb]

this the tap is HIDEOUS IN PERSON

[jollie158]

Omg im dying to get this phone xD!!

[tvdotted202]

i love dis phone i got it yesterday

[pochama870]

does it have radio?

[krmlgrl08]

no, thats the tap

[sexytime73]

If You Want This Phone Go To Wall Mart It Is Only $18.88 For 2 Year Contract (upgrade or new). At The T-Mobile Store It's $150

[fdcsm]

really?? with a existing family plan also??

[sexytime73]

yes.

[abbycandon]

I got mine at walmart for $18 too....they have other phones for cheap too. like blackberry for $30 with upgrade or new contract

[whitewingsbaseball]

Abbycandon, how much is the Highlight overall?

[abbycandon]

It is $299.99 retail at t-mobile. Differs in price at authorized dealers..like walmart or radioshack

[majrascal863]

should i get this or the tap or the behold

[CaptJack88]

Is the internet free on this phone?

[CrazinDancinChild]

no it is not free, but you can get the phone without internet

[kingyahoo123]

i might be getting this phone for christmas

[gymcutiexoxo98791]

OMG I WANT THIS PHONE

[snakedoc1306]

Does anyone know if this has chat-style messaging?

I just got this phone for free, and cant wait to get it!

[Live4Christx7]

when i go to t mobile's site it where you view all the phones it says its free. But when i go to upgrade it says its $150. I dont know what to do

[xAPoKnightmare]

It says free because thats the price without a plan.....the 150 is the price to upgrade......this is actually one of the least expensive phones to upgrade to.....i also recommend the samsung t349....i have it rite now and i love it

[fdcsm]

what do you mean when you say price without a plan? because im having the same problem also

[xBuRToN126x]

does it have WIFI

[kingyahoo123]

no it dosent have wifi sadly =(

[mrAcustico]

is it a good phone or not??

[kingyahoo123]

it looks like good phone to me

[Californiano1010]

how do i use the gps?

[PSNshadow94812]

Telenav, it should be on the gaming app for you.

[Californiano1010]

how do i put music in?

[jayvash22]

its best to download the PCstudio and transfer via Bluetooth

[coolpinkgrl159]

[jayvash22]

[pvtrojan101]
