Hello. I have just received in the mail my Sumsung M530 and have been trying to find a leather case for it…the kind tht opens up without having to remove the actual phone from it. What would be my best shot to find such a leather case?
hey um i want to get this phone, but i don’t know if it’s any good.
can you give me a review?
does it take good pictures?
does it have flat buttons?
that’s what im looking for.
had three off this phone not worth crap it’s garbage i bought my first one in sept and this is the third one i would never buy it again .i’am stuck with it now no one won’t help me out it keeps freezing up on me.
this is absolutely the worst cell phone i have ever encountered. i bought in in august and have had it working for a total of one month. it has broken and been repaired four times. if you happen to own this phone, once you have the receipts for three cell phone repairs you may send those to samsung and have your complaint escalated to apply to receive a new phone. in short DO NOT EVER BUY THIS PHONE
I bought this phone for my boyfriend for Valentines day after having trouble with another bell phone the LG Shine. Anyhow 3 weeks after my boyfriend had it, it froze up on him. Wouldn’t do a thing not even when you took the battery out and put it in again. So I took it back to where I got it and he gave me another one, brand new. 3 weeks later March 26th it has now frozen up too. So now he is using his old phone while the peice of crap goes into be fixed. Now I am thinking that I will be having this on going problem till our contract runs out. Garbage!! Don’t waste your time or money.
Great phone, works well. I got it in early oct.
No bugs, great mp3 sound. No net issues.
