My Prevail Experience
Phone owned for more than a year

Got the Prevail when it first came out. I actually pre-ordered the phone from Best Buy Mobile. This is the 3rd Prevail. The first one got damaged in water. The second was DOA (calls would cut out). The 3rd was the charm. I have read the reviews here and had to write this. I have not experienced many problems with the phone and the ones I did, the solution was a very easy fix. (1) Batter Life .. download a battery preserver app. I do agree the battery life sucks. But I have a spare battery charged and ready to go. (2) Memory .. either download an app to move programs to the SD if it is allowed or use the Manage Applications to do move apps. (3) Scratched Glass .. get a Zagg Invisi Shield. They cost about $20 or so. The shield does not affect the screen response and it has a lifetime guarantee. The other problems, my battery cover does not come off unless I take it off. I have not problem telling how my phone is oriented. I have a shock case for my phone and it makes it very easy to tell the orientation of the phone even in the dark. As far as the keyboard, if you do not like the default keyboard, download another one from app market.

The phone does well and is a decent Android phone. I am looking to upgrade to another phone only because the Prevail is only 3G and now my carrier has 4G and would like Flash, JavaScript support. So if you are just getting your first Android and don't have a lot of $s to spend on a phone, then give the Prevail a look.

Samsung Galaxy Prevail
Phone owned for less than a year

I was very excited when I bought this phone. I had spent nearly a month researching the "smartphones" before making my purchase and felt very confident that I had made an excellent decision. Unfortunately, after purchasing the phone and having it only a week, I tried to download the Adobe Flash app from the market and it tells me that the phone is not compatible! I was shocked because in doing research it says that you need The Android 2.2, which is what the phone has. So, I would like to know why I get the not compatible message.

Galaxy Prevail
Phone owned for less than a month

My phone also freezes up alot and I wish that it would light up when I recieve a text message, sometimes at my job I cant have it on vibrate because it interfers with the phones and makes a buzzing sound. Is there a setting to make my phone light up and i am not finding it??
