I bought this Samsung SPH-N400 cell phone because I had an older model of this same phone and I wanted the color screen.

I just had to try this one out. I have been using this phone for about eight months and I think that they can still improve on it to make it more solid.

Ok, since I am a bit of a technological freak I will try out any new item that comes out. I waited about three months after this phone came out to purchase it and when I did, I was a bit disappointed. After looking at all the feature and clarity of sound, it is no better than its previous models. Sometimes I think that I would have been better off with the older model that I used to have. There are barely any new features. Almost 95% of the features already existed in the previous model. The only feature I did not have in the older model was the speaker phone; that's about it.

I use this phone everyday and I charge it everyday, so I hardly ever get a chance to see how long the battery lasts, but last month during my sisters wedding I was so busy that I didn't have time to plug it in to the charger. And to my surprise the battery life is very good. It lasted me a little more than two days without charging. I was very happy with that.

Now the new full color screen and the ability to download ring tones and graphics are the only cool features that I like on this phone. Other than that, everything else is the same, but they made it look different. It is basically the same phone with the same features but more extra stuff to keep you busy for a while until you are done playing with it.
