This phone lasted through 3 Christmases, 6 college semesters, and innumerable drops. It has been the best phone I have ever owned, and I've been holding out with it because I'm hesitant to get a smartphone. I love its look and size, and it does just enough to not be distractive or life-consuming. I have to retire it now since its screen finally shattered a few weeks ago. I have really enjoyed this little phone and am going to miss it!
I just got this phone today and to be honest its great. The touch screen isnt perfect but what touch screen is? The camera is crisp and clear and call quality is great. The buttons on screen and the physical keyboard are both great. I just wish there was threaded text messaging but that's all! Over all this is a very good phone and I would definately recommend it!!
fully charged it lasts long if you're not calling too much. Texting on it is a pain in the butt for capitalizing words such as "I" but it sends and receives messages super fast..... taking pictures outside when it's light out is best... in dimly lit rooms the pics turn out blurry
and now that its been a year, youve dropped it of the stairs seven times, dropped it on water, springs have popped out of the back, and it still works. no? only me? oh well...
@fallenskater124 I've heard both that the battery is terrible AND that the battery is amazing...kind of confused...also, someone said that if you turn off the IM setting the battery is a lot better. What do you think? I'm deciding if i should get this phone.
THIS PHONE IS THE BOMB!!! It took me a day after i got it to figure out how to use like, everything on the phone. Its light and it has some pretty color cases you can buy. The battery lasts FOREVER! I recommend that you get this phone. It has a nice texting pad and touch screen. Easy to use and a nice look.
@lexistar2525 i have a flight II also and that started happening too. i just took it back to the store and they replaced the battery or whatever so now it never turns off anymore
I have this phone for like a year now, its descent I guess. Great for texting. The screen on mine cracked right down the middle a while ago ._. you really can't notice the crack if your looking straight at it, but if you turn it very slightly, it is very noticable. I'm either replacing the screen or getting a new phone. Besides that I wish the camera was at least a 3mp. If you love to take pictures (like me), I'd get a different phone.
Hi , i got this phone at October . And i got 5 voice mails . Everytime i ask for it it's asking for a passwod in an automatic voice thing . And i don't knol where to put it .On new dial ? text ? iknow my password but i don't know where to insert it . PLZ help me
@TrueSarah18 btw you may have to try recharging the battery when the phone is off, for my phone recharging when it's on gets me TONS less battery life. Just fyi.
@Paperboy7979 ya that and it dosen't recognize any of your phone numbers until you go through your messages, calls, and your contacts then it recognizes them:/
i flat out hate the slide out keybord on the samsung flight2 because it always feels like its going to fly off and. Hit the wall when you slide open the horizontal slideing keyboard fast
if u get a data plan for ten bucks u can basically do anything such as get apps from the app center go online and go on email, twitter facebook etc. I need to make sure. Someone plz reply
@twigeek55 the only thing that this phone and my current samsung impression is that there is no threaded/ bubble texting.... if i want to see a conversation, id have to go back and forth between menus...
Yes xxLILNOOBSxx you can put you'r signature on the samsung flight2 just go in to settings and go to display and lighting and go to greeting messages and then tap create message and put you'r name in it and other people will know whose cellphone it is if rood people try to steel it
i wish they wood have made the samsung flight2s camera with the same amount of mega pixs as the camera of the samsung impression whail being able to zoom in as much as the impressions camera
no!! i have solstice II right now and i bought the AT&T Fusion online and am waiting for it now...but menu wise and operating wise it is EXACTLY the same as the solstice II minus the fully physical qwerty...not worth 104 dollars on gophone
Also, battery life is 1 day? I charged mine yesterday and the phone woke me up this morning with the battery low sound. My old three year old Choco touch would last two weeks with normal use, and If I watch a movie on it, the battery would need charging after two days. There aren't enough ways to say how much I hate his phone. Worst I have had so far.
This phone is good. My brother had it for about 2ish yrs and It was passed down to me. Ive had it for a yr and the only reason its not doing so good for me after all this time is bc ive dropped it too many times thanks to my clumsyness. If youre not clumsy like me this phone should last a long time
i found a glitch in this phone when your on the internet and you press the multitask button twice fast and then press back and then press it one more time you go to the home page thing the orriganl pege and yo can go back to the internet and on whatever you were on when you go back to the internet
@NinjaBunniesRule24 If you press it once it goes to Capslock, then another press will only capitalize the first letter typed. My old phone was the opposite. So now I need to hit the shift button twice to capitalize one word. Small annoyance, but an inconvenience none the less :P..
For this phone, I wouldn't rely so much on the review. The phone is perfect for texting. The camera quality is decent. I don't have internet in it though. I'd prefer texting here over texting with the iPhone 4. I haven't charged it all day and the time is 11:30 pm.
Pros: - camera quality isn't as bad as my last phone - touch screen isn't too sensitive - lots of cool features Cons: - battery life is about 20 hours if you barely use the phone- even less if you do use the phone (regardless of energy-saving settings) - keys are pretty small - not the best experience for no-nonsense people over 50
Just got it and so far so good The touch screen is ok The internets not slow at all Texting is fast keyboard is good camera is mediocre battery life is ok
I really wanna get this phone. My parents say i cant get it till i get A's And B's only on my report card. ITs only the second week of the 3 week break. I will have, i think 9 or 8 weeks till i get my next report card. Wish me luck!!!! P.s. Nice Video man!! I gonna be so excited when we order it
i like the samsung flight2 but the battery life dose not last 5 days out of 7 days in a week or even a whole week after a full charge because the battery is only 1 thousand mille amp hours instead of more then 1 thousand Mille amp hours like in battery found most samsung brand 4g android cellphnes
I've had this phone for two years or more and it dosent have one crack in it from me dropping it down the stairs, on rocks, and on cement about a million times.... The phone gets boring after a while but I guess phones are supposed to be for messaging and calling and not games and fun so I would say it's a good phone after all but I guess it's a matter if opinion.
I'm considering getting this for my mom. Its not super feature packed and think might be a good start in a touchscreen phone. Her old Nokia flip is near dead.
@shockedj98 i have a pretty good battery life with this phone. it has a life span of 3-4 days (depends on how much i text). and u maybe over charge ur phone. thats the problem my friend has but she says its cuz the battery is low.
The good things about this phone: Touch screen Web browser Music player Easy texting, email ect. Good keyboard Bad things: If im having a gab fest it only lets me tlk on the phone for like 1 1/2 before i run outa battery
All I'm trying to say is that the samsung flight2s battery life dose not last as long as 5 days in a week or a whole week like it's suppose to and the battery cood have been built over 1 thousand Mille amp cellphone battery hours to give it batter life thats as good as the android style samsung galaxy cellphone but other then that its the coolest AT&T cellphone quick messageing phone by samsung
he says that almost every phone feels "somewhat cheap in the hand" i dont understand why the numbers are so confusing and also ive never seen a phone that when you hold down the shift itll write in all caps. This guy has really huge expectations. It really irritates me. He's expecting this to be like a huge smartphone-like experience when its not a smartphone. LOWER YOUR EXPECTATIONS. im getting this phone in 3-5 business days and im really excited and im naming it Gerry.
@TREX3436 No its just a bad excuse for a messenging phone with touch screen intergrated features. If you want to get a smart phone go to a wireless carrier store and request Android or Blackberry or Iphones phones to look at. Be inquiziative, tell the representative you talk to what you want in a phone and dont be ashame to ask any questions about the phone you maybe interested in.. Even get hypothetical with them to get the answer that will help you get the desireable phone you need out of him
i have the original one and its rocks my socks! XD when i first got it i will admit the keyboard wasnt the best but i took like ONE DAY to get used to it and now i text lightning fast! i would totally recomend it
@xc0mput3rxfr34kx then you should choose the sidekick 4g because it has a front facing camera 4g capabilities and android 2.2, 3.5 head phone jack, multi touch, and andoid stock keyboard.
We changed from a Verison chocolate touch that was easy to use compared to this mess. Everything you want to do is overly complicated. The keyboard is really hard to use compared to the touch kb. The touch has a 3.2mp camera and I'm thinking of going back to verison. Is it Samsung or just this phone that blows? While most of the features are great, over all the phone is annoying.
No, I'm pretty sure this phone is known for a unique CAPS LOCK. It's awful. You might not have the Flight II. The Flight II definitely does this. I finally get rid of this phone tomorrow and am considering smashing it into pieces after my new phone arrives.

@AsianRudolph You're not really supposed to charge anything all night. It over charges it and eventually drains the battery over time.
this was my first phone! the nostalgia is real!

fully charged does this phone last long? and is it good for texting and taking pictures?? someone help
Is there a way to turn on predictive text when you are using the full key board?
Does the touch screen have a full keyboard too or is it just the T-9 thing????
THIS PHONE IS THE BOMB!!! It took me a day after i got it to figure out how to use like, everything on the phone. Its light and it has some pretty color cases you can buy. The battery lasts FOREVER! I recommend that you get this phone. It has a nice texting pad and touch screen. Easy to use and a nice look.
@LifeAsChloe you cant have a signiture but you can send pics and videos but the videos have a limit to how long they can be
Ganga895 yes you can use apple brand iPod headphones with the AT&T samsung flight2 quick messaging cellphone
Like say when I get a text and I unlock my phone's screen, it takes like 5 seconds for the "New Message" box to finish it's animation.
my flight 2 is suuuuuuuuper laggy in terms of navigating through the menus, any tips?
i might upgrade from a samsung solstice ii, is that a good choice?
what do u mean black?I got this phone 3 months ago it's a little slow but i've had no other problems.
Phonedog makes the best reviews for phones
@lexistar2525 i have a flight II also and that started happening too. i just took it back to the store and they replaced the battery or whatever so now it never turns off anymore
does it have samsung camara interface? ( frames, editing pix, morphing pix, etc.)
Do animated backgrounds work on this phone??

When using the touchscreen or loading icons?
i have this phone should i get the pantech persuit 2 instead
Is the keyboard laggy if you type fast?
@Paperboy7979 ya that and it dosen't recognize any of your phone numbers until you go through your messages, calls, and your contacts then it recognizes them:/
My screen stays completely black like its turned off, but its on! can someone please help me
@triahmae101 At the bottom of the screen, it will say dial, tap it. This will bring you to the keypad. Thats where you type in the number.
If this is unlocked can I use it with my go phone plan like just put in my sim card?
i flat out hate the slide out keybord on the samsung flight2 because it always feels like its going to fly off and. Hit the wall when you slide open the horizontal slideing keyboard fast
@strawberristraw does it have good battery life?
Can anyone tell me if this phone has different themes you can choose for different looking widgets or icons, etc...? please & thank you
can you text on it without using the keyboard?
if u get a data plan for ten bucks u can basically do anything such as get apps from the app center go online and go on email, twitter facebook etc. I need to make sure. Someone plz reply
How are the numbers confusing ?
how do I use the T-9 when your using the keyboard??
um... does it have a virtual qwerty?
@PyroEnchantress7 yeah, theres a designated multitask button. its pretty neat.
@twigeek55 the only thing that this phone and my current samsung impression is that there is no threaded/ bubble texting.... if i want to see a conversation, id have to go back and forth between menus...
Yes xxLILNOOBSxx you can put you'r signature on the samsung flight2 just go in to settings and go to display and lighting and go to greeting messages and then tap create message and put you'r name in it and other people will know whose cellphone it is if rood people try to steel it
what type of video works on here?
is it a smartphone?
how can i view prev txts in conversation form
dose it upload to youtube????if so how???
i wish they wood have made the samsung flight2s camera with the same amount of mega pixs as the camera of the samsung impression whail being able to zoom in as much as the impressions camera
no!! i have solstice II right now and i bought the AT&T Fusion online and am waiting for it now...but menu wise and operating wise it is EXACTLY the same as the solstice II minus the fully physical qwerty...not worth 104 dollars on gophone
Holy crap you guys been around for 15 years!!!
:D

I love the first Samsung Flight and this seems like a pretty good improvement over the original
@ellohihi And does it hold alot of messages
Does anybody know how much a data plan for this phone is?
pleasee let me know.
@NinjaBunniesRule24 If you press it once it goes to Capslock, then another press will only capitalize the first letter typed. My old phone was the opposite. So now I need to hit the shift button twice to capitalize one word. Small annoyance, but an inconvenience none the less :P..

i dont like how they completely changed from portriat slider to landscape slider. the vertical slide made the samsung flight!
Just got it and so far so good
The touch screen is ok
The internets not slow at all
Texting is fast
keyboard is good
camera is mediocre
battery life is ok
@77sk877 this phone doesn't require a data plan....
@prettylolitadoll It has a virtual dial keyboard but not a full virtual qwerty 1
I really wanna get this phone. My parents say i cant get it till i get A's And B's only on my report card. ITs only the second week of the 3 week break. I will have, i think 9 or 8 weeks till i get my next report card. Wish me luck!!!! P.s. Nice Video man!! I gonna be so excited when we order it

Yes...I dont think its laggy, its just the phone's own glitch...i used to have one and i had the same experience.
I'm considering getting this for my mom. Its not super feature packed and think might be a good start in a touchscreen phone. Her old Nokia flip is near dead.
ahhhh yes the very first version of touch whiz
I wonder why he typed the K letter first
I like mine..it can withstand quite a few drops on cement, ice, and even rocks c:
stop hating on this phone it's awesome
i got it a week and a half ago at an AT&T store fore 50 bucks.
you guys should make a pantech pursuit II phone review!!!!!!!!!!:)

my dad has the samsung impression & personally i dnt think this phone is any different
i got one yesterday and it is great
can u text and talk at the same time
I've NEVER owned a phone where you hold down the shift key, that doesn't even make sense! Phonedog says it much better.
looks pretty good to me i dont know why everyone says it sucks :/
he says that almost every phone feels "somewhat cheap in the hand" i dont understand why the numbers are so confusing and also ive never seen a phone that when you hold down the shift itll write in all caps.

@801JuggaloSLC Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung Wave is great though.
@xc0mput3rxfr34kx then you should choose the sidekick 4g because it has a front facing camera 4g capabilities and android 2.2, 3.5 head phone jack, multi touch, and andoid stock keyboard.
half the things you said arent true.the phone looks great and the battery lasts long!!!!!! i love this phone
it looks somewhat like the solstice 2
We changed from a Verison chocolate touch that was easy to use compared to this mess. Everything you want to do is overly complicated. The keyboard is really hard to use compared to the touch kb. The touch has a 3.2mp camera and I'm thinking of going back to verison. Is it Samsung or just this phone that blows? While most of the features are great, over all the phone is annoying.
wow i buy the samsung flight juss 2 find out of a samsung flight 2 ,and this 1 has earphone holes
No, I'm pretty sure this phone is known for a unique CAPS LOCK. It's awful. You might not have the Flight II. The Flight II definitely does this. I finally get rid of this phone tomorrow and am considering smashing it into pieces after my new phone arrives.
i'm more impressed with the first one.
......opinion is a scary thing, cuz i personally luv this phone!!!
not sure whats so confusing about the numbers...haha
@msmalisainthavong
You make so sense at all. I don't what the hell you're trying to say. You really do need to go out more.
@zippyzipzipkid no it dose not sadly but still seems like a good fone
not true. i got this phone at an att store.
im getting this phone
