Samsung Reality Review

[Ziggy1570]

I bought mine thru Verizon over a year ago. At that time, $10.00 per month minimum, $29.99 unlimited. All that has changed. I suggest you visit Verizon to see their new offers especially their new data plans. Good Luck!

my reality is coming monday! quick question what games are built into the reality?

[Ziggy1570]

@Soxnation15 Dice (which is free). Ms. Pac_man, Testris and the Oregon Trail are trial versions but cool. I have owned the Reality for 5 months and the phone is awesome. Have fun.

im getting this phone tomorrow is it good???

[Ziggy1570]

@soccergrl308 Not only will you be surprised at all its functions, you will have a blast. I might suggest you get a cover protector and shield protectors. They have many colors and types including one that had "bling" - a rhindstone with butteflies or skulls, etc. on eBay that are very reasonable. I honestly think the Reality is awesome. Enjoy!

Whats your case?

[Ziggy1570]

@EpicLucas My phone's case protector is a "Body Glove" which I purchased on Ebay. It is rubberized with a plastic shell. Works great.  I dropped it a few times and the case is worth the money. If I recall, I paid $10.99 on eBay plus bought some screen protectors which are really useful also.

@Ziggy1570 Thanks for the help

Hey Ziggy, I wanna thank you for commenting on my video. You said you did some research on the phone, what sites did you use? I do like the phone, but one of my friends has it, and the touch screen is VERY unresponsive. And I`m not sure if I want to calibrate it all the time :\

[Ziggy1570]

@mikegh13 Since I already had Verizon, I watched every unboxing video. I leaned towards an enV but the Reality's battery was said to be better. Also, going to the store, I preferred the feel, size of the Reality. It just looked very cool. I did mess with the calibration a couple of times but the last software update was to improve Touch response - either did or I got used to it since I havent calibrated it for a long time. Its just finding the right balance for you - good luck.

@Ziggy1570 Okay, I'm most likely going to get this phone because I think it's the closest phone to an Android phone with the widget bar and multiple home screens. I really wanted an android phone, but since I'm only 15, my uncle said no lol. But I do have 2 questions, 1) can you make the message font size bigger, like go into message settings then message font size, does it have that option? And 2) can you watch Youtube on it? Please get back to me asap. Thanks.

[Ziggy1570]

@mikegh13 Yes, you can make the message font bigger. Just tried it. 2 choices Normal or Large. It works. Youtube is under the Media Center>>Communities. Just click on it and you can login (its also in the Widget bar). Caution - Youtube videos are data hogs. Works great, just have to monitor your data usage unless you go with unlimited dats plan. Good luck.

@Ziggy1570 Okay, thank you very much!! I'm definitely going to get this phone now! I was a little bit weary about the keyboard and some of the key placement because I'm used to the G being where the left thumb is and the H being where the right thumb is. But on the Reality, the H is where the left thumb is and the J being where the right thumb is. But I'm sure I can get used to it. Thanks again! :)

[Ziggy1570]

@mikegh13 Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Have fun.

Do you think this phone is worth getting? And can you get it without the datapackage? Cause I know that if they block the data package then you cant get picture messages. Or is that not true and you just cannot get it without the data package? Thanks

[Ziggy1570]

@sparkles1628 To the best of my knowledge, the minimum $9.99, 25mg data package is mandatory through Verizon, so to get the phone does requires getting at least the minimum data package. Is the phone worth it? YES. When you have time, check out the cool cover protectors for the Samsung Reality on eBay - all kinds of colors, designs including butterflies, skulls and even "bling" covered in Rhinestones! Good luck.

@Ziggy1570 Thank you :)

Hey, I am thinking about purchasing this phone or the env3, I have a few questions. My first question is, when you text with out the keyboard is it like normal texting on a phone where you push the number like three times to get the letters like for for instance: You click the number 8 twice to get u? My second question is, do you like the touch screen because I have never had a touch screen phone but most of my friends say that they are bad. Also where did you get the body glove?

[Ziggy1570]

@sputnikpotato - Yes, texting w/o the slide-out keyboard is just like normal texting as you point out; except it is using the touch screen. I use both - the slide out qwerty keyboard simply because I prefer it and the touch screen for quick replies. Verizon just recently did a software update and the touch screen is more responsive - since getting use to the touch screen I am learning to like it the more I use it. I bought Body Glove on eBay for $10.99 - also screen protectors. Good luck.
