The phones have been really easy & great to use.
MARK C. COLE
I take great care of my phones because I spend so much money on them so this was not user error by any stretch.
Vzn needs better feature phones
The product description didn't say anything was wrong with the phone.

It's a happy medium
By Leah McClellan on February 7, 2013
Color Name: BLACK Amazon Verified Purchase
I like this phone because I didn't need a data plan or a contract for it through verizon. It has a nice camera on it and so far the touch screen hasn't freaked out which is always a plus!

Love it!!!!!
By Aimee Cottrell on December 10, 2012
Color Name: BLACK Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a basic phone but delivers big. I've read other reviews on this phone but I have not experienced any big problems with this phone. I wanted a nice up to date phone without a contract that I could text on. I do talk on this phone from time to time also and you can hear quite well what is being said.

Samsung Brightside Review
By Abby on February 4, 2013
Color Name: BLACK Amazon Verified Purchase
I love the phone. For people who don't want an expensive data plan but need to upgrade their stone age flip phone, the brightside is a great in-between. It's a good size, fits nice in my hand and pocket, and so far I haven't had any problems with it. the camera is pretty good for a phone, best one I've had so far. The key-board slides out nice, it doesn't stick or anything. The only complaint I have is the menu screen. Most phones have a home screen where you choose a background and everything, but this phone doesn't have that. The orange screen shown in the picture is your home screen, you can choose between orange or green and choose what shortcuts are on the home menu, but that's the limit of your home screen options.

Great simple phone
By Kim S on April 25, 2013
Color Name: BLACK
Gave this model to my 12 year old daughter after she destroyed my old phone. She has had it for over 6 months now. It is cool enough to look good next to her friend's smart phones but doesn't carry the data plan requirements. That being said, she CAN surf the internet if necessary you will just pay for the data separately. Not that I recommend that plan, but at least she can in an emergency if necessary.

With a full glass touch screen I bought a few cases & screen protectors with the order so it never left the house without either. Since it slides open the case is two pieces which tend to fail after a few months with normal use. There are reasonably priced packages with 3 cases & 5 screen protectors for less than $20.

Overall she loves the phone, just wishes she could have a real smartphone like her friends.

Way smarter than your average basic phone.....
By Robin A. Duquette on June 7, 2013
Color Name: BLACK
My previous phone was a LG Cosmos which worked great but I was ready for an upgrade and decided on the Samsung Brightside in sapphire blue after seeing the phone my sister in-law recently upgraded to, the Brightside phone. (She was showing me some of her photos.) So took a trip to the local Verizon store to check it out and purchased there. After now getting to know it, I am quite happy with my purchase.

I have been trying out the 75mb per month data plan package ($10) and with the 3g in this phone mobile webbing is fast! So I am going to stay with it for the several sites I enjoy having easy access to.

I love the touch screen and its responsiveness. The qwerty keyboard works really well and now works also with Verizon Opera Mini's recent update. (Yes! :-)) (Or you can use the onscreen keyboard of course.) The icons on the start screen can be moved around and replaced so there is some customization there as well as in other areas of the phone. The camera has a good amount of various options and 4 picture quality/size settings as well as a camcorder. Overall the phone does more than I expected.

For a phone case/cover I added the Deluxe Folio Wallet Leather Case:

Deluxe Folio Wallet Leather Case Multifunctional - Pockets to Keep Your Cards Driving License Bills & Belongings Safe for Samsung Brightside U380 - Color - Black / Purple

I highly recommend this phone for anyone who does not want or need a smart phone and the large data plan but wants to move onto something a little more.

Brightside isn't working properly

Color Name: BLACK Amazon Verified Purchase
My Verizon Samsung Brightside will not hold a charge and I've only had it for about two weeks. I'd like it if it worked properly.
