Samsung Galaxy Indulge Specs

I was so excited to get this phonebut when i went ot the metro store and askedthe owner if this phone would be worth it for me he said of course, " I wouldn't let you buy another phone". Now he said this because I was giving up my work phone which was a similar samsung model. However, I told him my new phone would not be used for work, I don't need to get emails, I don't download music & I don't play games. I only download crossword puzzles. He said it was fantastic, no problems and incredibly fast. i asked about the battery life and he said he would upload juice defender for me and it would be great. So i brought the phone for 318.00 but it had a 100.00 mail-in rebate. Within 24 hours I was back in the store wanting to exchange it.
The battery died after a full charge, i kept getting a no access to web/internet screen, my phone froze so when hanging up from a call i couldn't get the screen to light back up so i could end my call. The OWNER said he would have to charge me a " $90.00 restocking fee". I questioned the giant poster that says full refund within 7 days of purchase and he said " i have to get rid of the phone, i can't resell it". I said bulls**t. I walked out of the store and calledthe corporate office, my call was dropped twice and then when I finally got through i only heard half of the call. However I did hear enough to find out that Metro PCS policy prohibits a restocking charge/fee.
I still haven't gone back ( i am too tired to fight) but the phone is getting worse and worse. I haven't even mailed in the rebate yet ( which takes 4 -12 weeks!!!!!!). I think they know what a pice of F***K**g S**T this is and want to see if you return before giving the rebate.
STAY AWAY!!!! DO NOT BUY!!!! BUYER BEWARE!!!!

If you are lucky enough to live in a 4G coverage area, this unit is a great web browser. (just do it quickly before the battery dies!) Incoming phone calls lock up the unit about 30% of the time. I usually have to turn the phone off and back on to unlock it. If I can see the phone when the call comes in, the screen will briefly flash caller ID info before locking up. This can be helpful as the "Call History" log does not record anything in this situation. If the phone is in my pocket, I won't know who called until I get a voicemail a few hours(days) later. When the phone does work, the call quality is the worst of any cell phone I have owned.

The processor stalls when playing downloaded games making animation jerky and delaying the touchscreen input. Downloaded games only lock up the phone about 20% of the time.

Text messages can be displayed late and out of order. I once received a text 6 hours after it was sent. Texting my girlfriend usually results in a phone call to straighten everything out.

The phone appears to receive email with no trouble and has no problem opening attached PDFs. Don't plan on opening any attachment other than a PDF. Replying to an email almost never works.

This is my first smart phone. I purchased it when I started my new business a few months ago. Reliability is much more important to me than any fancy feature. I'm not trying to promote iphones, but I have three friends who own them. None of them can remember the last time they had to power down their phone because it locked up.

The only reason I still own this piece of @#*% is that I paid over $300 for it.

A friend offered to add an extra line to his service so I could try an iphone,

Goodbye Metro.

Don't laugh but this is my first Android phone. I had Andriod Envy over my husbands DROID but didn't want that monthly bill. I have 3 Samsung phones (my kids) and I love them so I went with this. I am very pleased with all the features and reception. Compared to my husband's phone, not much difference. However, I am extremely disappointed with the battery life of this phone. It sits idle for most of the day, maybe a text or two, and I need to fully charge it by 6:00. I can't imagine when I actually use it more. :( This would be a perfect phone if a better battery would extend the life. I may have spent the extra money on a better phone if I was told about the battery life when I bought it. Lesson learned to make sure I read online reviews instead of listening to sales people.
