Straight Talk Samsung R451C Cell phone review

Samsung R451C

The new Samsung R451C from Straight talk

 

This new CDMA phone from Samsung has a great QWERTY keyboard.

 

Specs:

  • Bluetooth
  • 2' LCD screen
  • Full slide out QWERTY Keyboard
  • CDMA (No Sim card)
  • 1.3 Mega Pixel Camera
  • MicroSD Slot
  • MP3 Player
  • Picture manager
  • Voice commands
  • 64MB Internal memory
  • TXT/Picture message
  • Speaker phone
  • 3.5mm Headphone jack
  • 3.7Volt Li-ion Battery 3.55Wh
  • Web-Browser
  • Operates on Verizon network

Ok here is an honest review, of the R541C.

I saw that Straight Talk had advertised that their new Pre-paid service has Unlimited Calls, TXT, and Data for US$45 for 30 days, I thought I had better check this one out.

The unlimited data was applealing, and was the best phone on offer from Straigh Talk. The R451C was $99 from Wal-Mart.

The phone is very neat 2' x 4.25' and 0.6' deep, fits very well in the pocket, the QWERTY keyboard buttons are a good size & are easy to type with. The Internet browser can only be used when the keyboard is slid out. The browsing is html & images with some Javascript, there is no flash or other imbedded objects.

The Internet access is slow  CDMA X1 (it's not 3G) but it's very relieable.

I recommend this phone highly for anyone who wants a basic internet connection without  download or calling limits

 

Score: 9/10

Bob, if you purchased a phone and didn't research it first, who's fault is that? If you purchased the phone first, and then discovered that it wasn't what you needed or wanted, it appears that you're the one that's "not that smart".

I called straight talk support to find out why my music wasn't showing up that i put on my memory card the guy kept telling me the only way I could play songs was buying them and downloading them on the phone. I kept telling him that I am supposed to be able to download mp3 files on my mini sd card and he kept saying the same thing...I'm still trying to do it on my own...

If you are receiving this message on your phone and you can't made or receive call, can't even send or receive text and plainly can't do anything on your phone then just call customer service 1-800-430-2355. They will help you fix that.

Turns off?
Reply #36 on : Sun June 06, 2010, 15:12:33
Sometimes when I text on my R451C the phone will completely turn off. I have to turn it back on and I lose whatever text I was writing. It happens more often when I use the full keyboard.
I really need to figure out how to fix this or get a new phone, preferably the same model, but I don't want to have to pay again.
Please help!
Thank you!!

To all that want ring tones, graphics too, that is easy, go to ,myxer.com and download ring tones free. Game can be bought at samsung so far. Can't help with games just yet. And to all that think it is Wal-Mart it is NOT Wal-Marts fault that the phone has its problems that is with StraightTalk aka (Trackphone)
