Our own reviews

I know some of you have had the phone for a good month or so now and was wondering if you wouldn't mind putting up some reviews of your own on here.  What are you current gripes? What do you love most that you don't seem to find in other phones?  It'd be neat to get consumer reviews, rather than just journalistic reviews.

Go ahead and post them in this forum!    

I haven't done any extensive looking, but I do believe that Flash 7 is actually installed, with a rumor I heard, (don't know and can't remember the source, so take this with a grain of salt), that a future software update will have a more updated version of flash.

Great feedback!

I have had my Delve for over a month now, I really like the design and most of the functions. I just wish there was a way to hook up to the pc and download songs, ringtones etc. So far that is the only drawback, I am sure as time goes by there will be more gripes. All we can do is wait and see.

How long have you had it?

about a month but i was just comparing it to some of the competition

myxer does list the samsung delve as one of there phone on their site.

i have us cellular and myxer worked.

My Review:
This is my review of the Samsung Delve in the form of pros and cons. My previous phone was a Motorola Razr. I was looking for more of a gadget than a cell phone since I do not receive or make a lot of phone calls. I wanted features like the touch screen interface, mp3 player w/Bluetooth, internet w/landscape viewing, memory card slot to hold movies and music. Alltel had only three choices the LG Glimmer, HTC Touch or the Samsung Delve, and I think I chose the Delve because the Glimmer didn't have an expandable memory slot, and the HTC was more expensive. 

***Pros:
Free applications like navigation, radio, TV, weather and Nutsie. Touch screen works really well. Bluetooth setup is easy, and I can listen to mp3s on my Bluetooth headphones with good sound quality. Internet works well with options for full screen viewing and zoom, favorites etc. Free navigation, I like that. The radio program, TV, and Nutsie are good but not great. Thanks to this web site I can finally load my own ring tones. Widgets are a nice touch for quick access to the mp3 player and calendar. 

****Cons:
The phone is not supporting flash or is not enabled, so web content with flash does not display (my biggest complaint). The phone speaker is not that powerful so midrange and lows are kind of muffled when you play your mp3 files through the phone's speaker. The auto lock is annoying during phone calls because sometimes you need to enter extension numbers or other options and you must unlock the phone to do so. But in other modes it can also prolong battery life so to me it's a necessary evil. No accelerometer like the iPhone and other top of the line touch screen phones, which would be a nice feature to have. Speaker phone volume is a little weak and sometime hard to hear. The screen is sometimes hard to see in direct sunlight, so you have to adjust the angle in which you view the phone. The phone does not have a resume feature, so if you are watching a movie or listening to mp3s and stop the player, it will not resume. And lastly the phone is locked down; we are not able to download content off the internet to our phones like games and other applications. I know that the phone is kind of new and hopefully in the near future there will be some patches or upgrades to the software in the phone.

Overall: I am happy with the phone and it gives me something to play with throughout the day at work, or somewhere I would have to wait like the service center at the Ford dealership. I would like to upgrade to either a iPhone, Blackberry Storm or Samsung Omnia but with Alltel no chance. Maybe once this Verizon /Alltel merger happens I could take the Blackberry Storm out for a try. Thanks for reading and this Forum rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!
