[nin131]

I have this phone and use it as a doorstop! I sometimes step on it, and kick it. It fucking sucks big dick. I had to use this embarrassing phone for over two years now, and was ashamed every minute I was seen with it. My contract finally expired and I have just purchased the HTC PRO 2! I will destroy this little fucker and film it and post it on YouTube for Samsung to watch. They shit sucks!! Never again will I buy Samsung, never!!

[GoW1BallhArD]

[patriotsfantillidie]

Ugh i fucking hate this phone, and my fucking mom wont buy me the palm pre even tho ive had the upstage for more then a year and she got a new phone not to long ago :/

I get mad just looking at this phone..lol

[butitsbetterifyou100]

i have it.

its okay.

but i really dont want it.

im getting a env2 and im happy im upgrading!!

[RazorxTC]

I hate this phone beyond anything. had it for a year and im finally upgrading. The battery sucks, the mp3 sucks, only thing i liked about it is that its small and thin.

[starburst765]

I had that phone for about a week and i hated it that phone was dumb i should of look into it more so i got a Sanyo KATANA 2 i like this one better I bet they get alot return to them

[xlucky7x01]

i have this phone and i think its sweet. but it does get annoying having to have that extra battery on and if u dont have it on the battery does not last very long.... but the size of the phone is great and the mp3 screen on it is sweet to....

[DrzLoko08]

I'm getting the Red Blackberry Curve tomorrow..have this phone...CAN'T WAIT TO UPGRADE!!TIRED OF THIS PHONE!Music is NOT loud at all as they say!!Camera is OK.not as bas as people say!.But I've had this phone for 2 years now and i'm so ready for an upgrade..Music sounds way louder in this video than it actually is..I heard the Blackberry Curve is way louder than this and the Camera quality is 10x better than this..Can't wait to get my Curve tomorrow!!

[nymphognome]

i made the mistake of getting this phone. it was free the sign said. you can't argue with free can you? erm, yes you can. i hate this phone. it had a lot of potential if the people making the software had actually made some effort but they just slapped generic software on this phone which makes it a pain in the ass to use.

[h3rman02]

this phone REALLY sucks ive had it for about a year now, and its not going to last another year, camera sucks, the touch pad is the worst even on high sensetivety, is scratches really easy, me keyboard fell, off, and i did take care of this phone.

[bbyxpnaii]

such a small screen

[ItsJakeXD]

I havi it, it sucks, the games for it suck and the touch buttons are unresponsive and sensitive at the same time

[DonaldHellsing]

I have this phone it's actully pretty good I'm fine with it, it's not horrible, tons more phones better than this one but I like it because people go like "ZOMG!!! THERE IS 2 SIDES! BADASS!!" lol But i'd rather have many other phones

[StakeHIGH]

i had this phone for over a year. this phone sucks. i have an iphone 3g now...i feel sorry for those with the upstage.

[TuscaniPassion071]

I hate this damn phone! Ive had it for about a year. Just recently it will freeze,and the screen wont shut off..it will stay lit for a long time! It costs to much to buy and download songs...i hate it,it was a waste of money haha!

[tyjramirez08]

i have it but now i hate it im tired of seeing it but i guess thats what you feel when you have a fone for a year you get tired of it

[Cheerleading4Ever]

i have it and i like it... i dont see a problem lol

[gershomjr]

this phone is so stupid! omg! i hate it! i dont have it though...but still...its stupid!

[BlackHawkPunk]

I have this phone and I absolutely hate it.

I've gone through 2 of them. The internal battery will give out after about a year or less and then you'll have to use the spare plug in battery or pay $70 for a new phone, which will do the same thing later on.

I hate it so much.

[brilliantroxas]

If you've gone through two of them, then that means you spent $140 or more on the same phone. Why didn't you just get a new phone?

[BlackHawkPunk]

I spent no money on the new one.

And I'm on a contract. In order to get a new phone I'd have to spend about $400 for just a phone itself. or $200 to cancel my plan.

[brilliantroxas]

Oh I see. But, if you're willing to wait 2 years, at least you'll get $150 off when you upgrade your phone to a new one. I've had my Upstage for about 5 months, and i'm already starting to get battery problems. Not cool...

[cancelledczech]

great phone up until about a year then it just starts shitting out, trust me mine just did and now i'm getting the highnote :)

[jboidaman99]

i hate this phone so much that i just broke it in half, and i am not even kidding. I have had it for about a year and have had so many problems with it that it is not even funny.

[YuseiSai]

i hate this phone im getting a blackberry storm.....

[kmitchell95]

ive had this phone for about a year and i hate it! the first couple of days i had it, it was cool, but now its all broken. i cant wait to get a new phone!

[Avalava9]

i have this phone... but its giving me probelms.. thats y i am getting the samsung insticnt!

[1mrparker]

i am 10 years old an i have this fone. mine is red too. it does not have a ipod. it has a mp3 player. i have had my fone for 2 months and i have had no trouble at all. i know i am spoiled but hey.

[HoneyGlazedDonut]

The phone pretty good. Flipping isn't that annoying after getting used to, and the battery is stable if you don't use it 24/7. You should get the insurance because the large screen tends to break, but other than that, its okay.

Phone Rating: 4 stars

[supermanthat300]

yur all fuckin crackheads. i got this phone and its the fuckin shit.

[frieands7]

is it have a ipod in it

[bluedevilskid34]

this phone does blow, i have it and i regret getting it. it's broken twice on me already in like 4 months

[raftermanguru]

phone sux,gonna get me a m520 tommorrow

[Mrdegater]

i have the phone and it sucks i mean its better then nutin but com on wat is sprint tryin to prove

[iTsYaYa09]

[jdogwar]

yea me too

[sweetzcara06]

fuckin blows!~

[mikebuck820]

the upstage fuckin sux i juss got it for free on a upgrade bullshit and wen i first got and and started exploring with it i found out that it was gay azz SHIT, So i suggest u not get this fone it would be a horrble waste of fukin money

i juss traded this bullshit in the the MUSIQ i think it will be better than the upstage, well matter of fact i think any fone is better den this SHIT!!!!

[martinblank2]

This review isn't as good as others by Phone Arena. Too much time was spent on the music playing abilities but I guess that is what this phone is good for.

[12we34be]

I'm sorry people, but this phone is one of the stupidest ones i have seen in my life. Come on. An itty-bitty screen for calling and an MP3 player on the other side. Hands down, piece of crap.

[mikebuck820]

i agree 10000000% percent

[brilliantroxas]

Just got this phone. It's a pretty good phone if you're using it mainly for music. Unfortunately, the battery doesn't last very long. But that's where the battery wallet comes in. PLUS, if the battery dies out completely, as in you cant recharge it anymore, you have to send it in to get a whole new phone. Overall: 8/10

[ayochrisso]

wait....i didnt know that.

do you have to have insurance to exchange it for a new one, or will they do it regardless?

[brilliantroxas]

You actually have to pay about $80 to send it in and get a new one. Honestly, you're better off getting something else. And hey, It'll save you money.

[tandersn9]

that phone and the env2 are two of the ugliest phones on the market

[NeilXY]

this phone is not bad, but the env2 is quit ugly!

[SlapSaggx30]

It's an okay phone. Of course it gets annoying, but doesn't every phone get annoying after a while? Look at the Instinct. Give it a month...maybe a year. It'll soon freeze.

[dp100eboggan]

I got this phone a year ago, after 5 months, I switched back to my a920. The flip feature that I thought was so cool became increasingly annoying. I still love samsungs though.

[zyy1021]

hey im quite interested in this phone....but can anyone tell me about the average monthly bill of this phone? like how much does it cost to buy 1 song? is there extra charge if u go to the sprint music store?

[dp100eboggan]

You're better off sideloading music. I had this phone and tossed it into the trash. The speaker sucks, you have to carry the wallet battery everywhere because the phone's internal battery ain't worth a quarter, and the touchpad WILL get annoying after a while. It's a gimmick phone and the gimmick gets boring after a few months.

[sgsgsgE3]

i have this phone too it is good but you get tired of it after a while..

[xXFallen1018Xx]

I have this phone and its really a great phone. People just like to bitch about stupid things like having to flip it.. thats not that annoying -_-

[mikebuck820]

can u put music off ur computer on this fone

[brilliantroxas]

yup. they give you a cd for the sprint music manager. you can import songs from itunes or whatever you use. suggest you get a new memory card though. they only give u like 64mb card with the phone.

[punjabiba11er]

i have this phone, and i have to say i love it. If you like texter, then that might be the only weak spot for this phone. Otherwise, it's awesome.

[skarekrowkomplex]

What do you mean by that? And, how good are the photos if you send them to MySpace?

[GiANNYTSUNAMi]

the photos are really good for myspace they come out huge on ur albums but the phone sucks.. dont get it

[skarekrowkomplex]

Ok. Thanks.

[rikkayyy]

i have this phone and it sucks. i wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone.

[Karatepotato13]

I have this phone and i like it =)

[CMvids12]

umm i have this phone, if you're a texter, do not get this... buy the rumor. it is a much better phone.

[dq5180]

This phone SUCKS!

[baygamer]

i have it black

[coolred75]

I have this phone and I hate it too plus and I can't use it for internet.

[PS3vidvids]

i got this for my birthday last june and i absolutely hate it. Its a pain to flip it to text and the touch thing is as well. The only thing i like about it is its design for its menu.

[tinytiffanyxoxo]

joeymesquita94 i got the 2gb microSD card on sale for 25 bucks

[tinytiffanyxoxo]

its not 2 mp,its 1.3 mp.should have gotten this phone in red cuz the black one i have is too plain.

[skrashe]

i got one and its 1.3 mp

[Viscabarca21]

yes sorry my mistake Samsung UpStage got 1.3mp and samsung ultra music has 2mp

[bmsdude339]

I baught this phone at a sprint store about 1 month ago i had to return the phone i had(m330)wich sucked and picked this phone instead and its AWSOME! BEST PHONE EVER!!!

[mm18buckets]

i like this phone cause u can bluetooth with different phone companies

[AznAir2010]

does anyone have a program that is compatible with itunes for this phone

[13mellette]

I went in the store and played with this phone, the sound quality of the mp3 player was great, but I absolutly HATED THE PHONE AND DESIGN!

[voltech523]

screw ur niples

[13mellette]

Um... OOkkk.. that doesn't even make sense, and thats not how you spell "nipples".

Plus thats just MY opinion of the phone..

CALM THE FUCK DOWN!

[calvinj15]

lol he said screw your nipples i gotta use that at school when i get mad thanks youtube, LOL

[AnthonyDoMustang]

i have the iphone and i wantid to get this phone what do you guys think?

[NarutoPhotoshop]

Yeah, I think you should get this phone.. iPhones are just... no.

[KillaKanga]

major downgrade

[joeymesquita94]

u need to have an sd card to put in music? if so how much are they for the 2gb like he said?

[takethepot]

20 bucks on amazon

[tinytiffanyxoxo]

YES i got to put on my free ringtones on it lol :p

[tinytiffanyxoxo]

can you get free ringtones on it,i know a site where i get all my free ringtones but i dont wanna PAY for ringtones,i want it for free -_-! and i dont really get how you put full songs on it...i'll ask my sister what to do or i'll read the instructions or something...i get this phone today -_-

[Theprince192]

i really wish it had a bigger screen

[cof6676]

FLIP IT OVER!

[macsftw]

OH LAWL. I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE.

[tribaljoe1985]

I have this phone and I love it. It has everything that I wanted in a phone & more.

[shashowtizzle]

this phone blows, the speakers suck and the songs take FREAKIN forever to load!!!

[my0world]

[AnthonyMarksInTexas]

[laxinchica1231]

[bungnung]

is there a camcorder on this phone?

[tribaljoe1985]

Yes there is & the quality is very good. :)

[patrickallain]

Compared to a RAZR or an LG Shine, how is the speaker? For Truetones and stuff.

[libidorocksny]

is it better than the fusic??

[chenjohn]

i had this phone but i refunded it for a sAmsUng u740

[iluvmusic4life]

Not as great as it seems

[emericanmade]

WHO CARE's ABOUT CUSTOMIZATION..instaed ok bringing ur phone and mp3 bring the upstage..plys u dont have to spend 350$ on an I-pohone!

[lizziepooh]

='( I should have waited a week to getthe red one !!!

AQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFJHAKE­NB,SNMEF

so mad..

I like it tho... oh btw it survived a car accident and it still works perfectly! =D

[DerSheinerSailor]

'll tell you that, the phone has to small screen, camera sucks, touch pad is to sensitive for the music side.

[krazziness]

this phone looks like shit

i cant wait for my chocolate

[Hector703]

i want that phone so bad!!!!!!

[bartbomb]

the 1 that i just got got a traker on the top of the phone on the music side

[dmbfan07cb]

guy sounds like a robot, and it has more than one short coming the phone screen is so small you cant hardly see what your doing

[GinoF1]

Good review and I found it useful, but you REALLY need to speak faster and keep your audience entertained. The content is good but your video is very boring to watch, unlike other reviews I've seen on PhoneArena and phonescoop. It's more interesting to speak naturally instead of sounding like a robot.

More light in your videos would also be very good to have.

[magicleland]

The phone looks better in red and the battery life rocks. Great phone for music.

[cwinker]

can you put mp3 ringtones on there.....if so how do you do it cuz i cant figure it out

[secsybeast]

i wanna get that phone so badly.. it doesnt have bugs or glitches

[Gamethriller]

do not get this phone, bugs and glitches, texting becomes a hassle and battery life sucks.

[aznboi1214]

battery life is great wtf are u smoking? um and texting is also really easy. ur a gay jealous idiot

[chenjohn]

LMFAO battery life = 1 day

and texting is hard to see?

[1mrparker]

actually i reccomend to get the fone. i have it an i luv it!!!!!!!  the txting is not a hassle for me. i want the walkman now though. the battery lasts a long time do u even have the fone???????

[bona1211]

yah i do actually. i love it but the phone itself the battery kinda sucks:(

[MrsJonelCRonaldo7]

i have this phone and i must say its mighty mighty! lol

but the camera is only 1.3 megapixels...still an awsome phone tho!

[Ek21007]

i have that phone its a great phone i just dont like it in red black is better :)

[adantra2]

is that the cellphone beyonce is endorsing?

[tribaljoe1985]

Yes but her's comes in a caramel color & says Beyonce on the mp3 side of the phone.

[1mrparker]

yea but she stole da idea from sprint

[zoromba]

i luv the phone screen, woaw so big!

[HKMagnum1194]

they should've had the phone have the big screen

[luo7an]

what an ugly phone!
