I receltly had the chance to review the Samsung Intensity for Verizon Wireless. This phone cost $0.00 on a new 2yr contract with Verizon Wireless, and retails for $199.99. I tested all the features of this almost feature-less phone and found myself quite pleased. This phone offers a 12- key numerical pad on the front as well as a 2.1″ screen. The formfactor of this device is a bar style phone with a slide out QWERTY keyboard. The camera is a 1.3mpx camera that takes decent shots (for a 1.3mpx camera) and what i thoughwould be a cool feature “night mode”, you can view pictures taken from the phone at the bottom of this post.

Cons-

• Video camera/ playback quialty is horrible
• QWERTY  keyboard is a bit stiff and keys are too clicky
• 2.5mm headphone jack
• Charge/ data sync port should be a micro/ mini usb

Pros-

• The look of the phone
• the weight of the phone
• the sliding mechanism in the keyboard
• mirror on back
• circular d- pad
• internal feel and speed

Overall-

This is the perfect first phone or phone for a texter or pre- teen. The price cannot be beat (free) and it is a stable phone. The camera quality is noting to be happy about and the video quality is horrible! The device has no lag and quickly allows you to send/ reply/ receive texts.
