I'm on my second one now and the screen is already turning white on this one too which Ive had for about 4 months now. They are known for having that problem. I can not wait to get a new phone that will not have that problem. T_T This phone seems nice at first BUT wait until a couple months pass and the screen turns white.

Had mine for quite some time now, and as someone else mentioned, the on/off button is essentially dead. Also the left arrow key is pretty much useless, functionality comes and goes. It could just be stuff under the buttons at this age, but it's annoying. Also absolutely HATE the text message setup. I have an SD card in it, but it will NOT allow me to use the SD for message storage. At 200 in the inbox and/or 30 in the outbox, I have to start deleting messages no matter what. My older phones didn't even have this "feature". I will give the phone credit. It's been dropped quite a few times and other than the button issues (which didn't seem to be the cause) it keeps on going. Poor service at my house in the middle of nowhere, while others get better, but not by much. Low battery indicator gives HOURS of advance warning, assuming you've got a good signal. If the phone searches for a signal, the battery will go dead in less than a day. Airplane mode will fix that, but of course no incoming/outgoing information either. They still selling this thing?

Today I found my phone in the washer, it still works but when I charge it...it vibrates non stop. I don't know if I have ruined it completely or if this will go away when it completely dries out.

Besides that the predictive text is adaptive and very good making texting that much easier. All of the features are very nice with a fairly wide collection of them ( minus the mediocre music player). well this comment is running on so i will cut to the point. YOUR REVIEW SUCKS COCK. SO PRINT IT AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS.

I already have T-Mobile as my service but, the phone that I currently have is a real piece of shit so, obviously, I was thinking of buying this one but, when I went to the T-Mobile page, it said this phone was $179.99 which is fine with me and then I went to the mall to a T-Mobile kiosk thing and this lady there was trying to tell me that it costs $350 >_> Um, well..thanks for this review, I still wanna buy the phone hah..I'll get used to the crappy keyboard soon enough Good review…I just have a question, how much is the phone without signing to a 2-year contract?

I can't use the "on" button on my phone because the button just froze and stopped working. When I am on a call and want to end it bu using the slide down feature, my call won't end until the other person hangs up. I went over my minutes last month because I did not notice it immediately. The battery life is the worst on the face of the earth. I had NOKIA's prior to getting a SAMSUNG phone and I would talk for hours on my NOKIA phones, but with the SAMSUNG BLAST, I hardly talk for 1 hour and I get baterry low alert. For some strange reason, the reminder tone also only alers you with one really low beep. The phone is WACK... KEY BOARD issues with the blast.

Like irrated said, i have to erase contacts 4,5 times a day. I'm thinking of calling the customer service cause when i went into phonebook--->mangement---->default saving, default saving is disabled so i cant even press it. the word DEFAULT SAVING is in gray so i cant press on it. Also when i go to phonebook------> management---> memory status, my SIM memory is in gray so i cant press on it. Its like as if my phone cant detect my SIM card. So I took my SIM card out from my phone and put it in my dad's samsung phone,which the system is almost identical as blast, it clearly says that i have about 50 contacts on my SIM. i don't know what to do!!! driving me nuts!!! i have the same problem as irratatedbysamsungblast.i just got blast about a week ago and my contact list keeps tripling.
