## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It was worth the search!
*by M***N on February 10, 2013*

Took me forever to find this older Verizon phone, but I once had one and Loved it, and when a friend described what he was looking for I was on the hunt. I looked everywhere, but the best deal (and safest) is always Amazon for me. Bought him some cases, some screen protectors... and he's texting me from it now. This phone is great for guys because the keys are fairly big and there is a space between each one (fatter fingers!). Samsung traditionally is one of my favorite phone manufacturers. I've never had one fail. The ONLY drawback with the Brightside is you have two choices in the color scheme you see here, the orange one shown and a green one. But as far as quick-messaging phones go, they don't get much better.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good phone!!
*by K***S on June 2, 2013*

I really enjoyed this phone. It has a nice slide up, and the touch screen is very sensitive and I like that. The photo quality is OK but it is good enough for me!! I really like the different fonts you can choose and layouts. I suggest going to youtube and searching up a samsung brightside review before buying just so you can tell what kind of phone this is. The touch screen is a little TOO sensitive sometimes and accidently calls people. But I'm okay with that. Great phone!!!

### ⭐ Not recommended
*by J***Y on June 16, 2018*

This phone seemed great... until it started behaving erratically. First, it started turning itself on, on its own even after I turned off the screen. Then the speaker started cutting out entirely, not playing key sounds or phone conversations. I tried turning the phone off/on, and even performed a full reset, which made it work... for a few minutes.Basically, it's junk now. I saw other people reporting a similar issue. This seems to be a defective model. Avoid.
