well. i went to the tmobile store and was checking out phones since it was time for an upgrade. i automatically went for the blast because of how it looked and the KEYBOARD!! right off the bat the sales man told me he hated to phone and that i should do research online because it was a terrible phone. i was instantly bummed and went home to research. i heard the same complaints time after time. sound quality was bad (common with samsung) and the service was terrible with this phone.. well. i decided to be a big girl & make my own decisions and just tried getting the blast anyways since i could return the phone if i REALLY didn't like it. can i just say that i am so glad i got this phone!! this is like the best texting phone. very easy keyboard once you get used to it. the sound quality is fine. i wouldn't say it's the best but i think razrs are worse. since i'm totally clumsy i drop this phone all the time. i can practically throw it at the ground and it doesn't break. which is good. i haven't even gotten a sd card yet to add music. i really like this phone and would recommend it. the only con is i have a huge purse and i loose it all the time in there!! haha. it's a fun phone that not many people have. which is what i really like.

Pros

keyboard. design. slider. screen.

Cons

color. (not a huge fan of the red backing)

Ok, well, I really like the phone. I love the keyboard and I love that its so slim and fits into a lil pocket in my purse. I guess the one thing that I don't like about it, is its features. I like that its an MP3 player but I don't like that I can't make them tones for my messages. I would love to be able to change everyones message tone so I knew who was texting me by the music but you can't. I also don't like that I can't clear out the recent recipients list. With my older Samsung phone, I was able to do that and it was nice. I also wish it had more themes to choose from. I think if the features were a little better I would Never part from this phone.

I bought this phone trading up from a Samsung t419 or something along those lines. I LOVED the phone, but then the screen broke after 2 months. It had just happened today, and I'm still unsure of what's going on afterwards.
I LOVED the phone, but I just didn't like the fact that the screen was on the outside of the phone, the most precious thing was on the outside and could crack.
