Iogear Wireless-G Short Card works good.......2006-06-13
I saw this card on amazon and said wow look at the size and price so i got it. It does not get as good a signal as my old card did but there is not much of a difference. I have had it for about 3 months and it is still working great and i have not had to take it out ever time i take my laptop somewhere like i did with my old one.
Works for 30 seconds - then dies.......2005-08-17
If I restart the card (disable/enable), it will connect for about 30 seconds (if I'm very close to my router) - then the signal strength drops to nothing.
Serious Driver Problems.......2005-08-10
I tried runnning this card on an IBM thinkpad running windows 2000 with serious problems. I followed the installation instructions and the drivers kept coming up broken. I tried the card on a friend's Toshiba using XP, it didn't work there either. I ended up trying to install it in four computers with no luch. I know my way around wireless card installation, but this was near impossible. This card is not for novices. Eventually, I came across a message board thread that linked to drivers not on the company website. Once the card was installed, it worked well and recieved a respectable signal.
Even when the card works, however, you should be very careful. This card run extraordinarily hot. I have used other cards, the temperature on this one is not normal. If you have a laptop with heat issues I would stay away from this card, as it could destroy your computer.
Stay away from this card.
Very Lousy.......2005-07-09

Worth to buy .......2005-06-24

Amazon.com Product Description
Perfect for people who want to stay on top of their email as well as stay connected wherever they roam, the crimson and black Samsung Blast slider-style phone is an affordable alternative to smartphones. Available exclusively from T-Mobile, it communicates over GSM/GPRS and EDGE networks and offers quad-band network capabilities for global connectivity. It's first T-Mobile phone to provide direct access to personal e-mail--including AOL email, Yahoo! Mail and Gmail--in addition to text and instant messaging. Composing messages is easy thanks to the hybrid QWERTY keypad that uses SureType technology, also found on RIM's BlackBerry smartphones. (See more about SureType below.) Other features include stereo Bluetooth connectivity, MicroSD memory card expansion, 1.3-megapixel camera/camcorder, speaker-independent voice control, and an integrated digital audio player.
The front of the compact Samsung Blast slids up to reveal a keypad with a hybrid QWERTY keyboard. |
Using the integrated SureType technology, you'll be able to write and respond to emails, text messages, and IMs quickly and easily. |
Here's the biggest bonus--with the Blast you can send and receive e-mail for the same cost as a text message. No data package is required! With a basic voice plan and text messaging option, the Blast becomes your ultimate communication device with text, picture, video, and instant messaging as well as email--without the monthly cost of a data plan.
The Blast also is the first phone to feature compatibility with T-Mobile's myFaves service, which allows you to call up to five of your most common contacts--on any network, even landlines--without using any of your minutes. Blast users who are myFaves subscribers can now also send an audio postcard--a photo accompanied by a voice message--as well as send an e-mail or launch an IM client, in addition to a text message, right from the myFaves home screen. Learn more about myFaves.
Compatible with IMAP4, POP3, and SMTP email protocols (including integrated access to AOL email, Yahoo! Mail and Gmail), the Blast makes it easy to check in with your inbox. It also includes access to instant messaging--with built-in support for AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), ICQ, Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger services--in addition to SMS text, MMS multimedia/picture messaging. For added convenience, email messages on the Blast can be read and responded to for the same pricing as text and picture messagesÑmeaning there's no required data package to purchase.
The bright TFT display has a 176 x 220-pixel resolution and support for up to 262K colors. Below the screen resides a four-way navigation pad and dedicated shortcut and T-Zone keys, with the numeric keypad available by sliding phone's front upward. The QWERTY-like keypad provides ample space to let fingers move at a faster pace, making typing more intuitive, with greater control over the letters and words being entered.
The slim Samsung Blast measures just 0.5 inches thin. |
The 1.3-megapixel camera shoots still photos in seven resolutions (from 176 x 144 to 1280 x 1024 pixels) and it offers up to a 4x digital zoom, self-timer, multi-shot capability, and five picture modes (auto, daylight, incandescent, fluorescent, and cloudy). It can also capture video clips in two resolutions--176 x 144 (QCIF) and 128 x 96 pixels--at a length dependent upon the available space on an inserted MicroSD memory card. The digital audio player supports playback of MP3 and AAC files saved to memory card.
This phone provides Bluetooth version 2.0 wireless connectivity, and includes profiles for communication headset, handsfree car kits, audio/video remote control, and printing. With the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones. You can connect your laptop (either via Bluetooth or wired USB) and enjoy dial-up networking (DUN)--surf the Internet, send email, and access files from a server--using T-Mobile's EDGE network.
The built in memory provides room for up to 1000 contact entries in the phone's address book. A voice dialing feature makes calling friends and associates as easy as saying their names. Enjoy easy, hands free communication with a full duplex speakerphone that lets you hear callers loud and clear. It comes with a number of handy tools including a calendar, notepad, alarm clock, to-do list, tip calculator, and unit converter. It also sports an airplane mode feature, which allows the user to safely use the non-wireless functions of a phone (such as music, games, or organizer functions) on an airplane during flight. Other features include an 11 MB internal memory, four pre-loaded games (Forgotten Warrior, Cannonball, Midnight Casino, and Brain Challenge) with more downloadable from T-Mobile's T-Zones, USB connectivity (with mass storage capability), and a built-in Web browser.
SureType Hybrid Keyboard
Through an integrated keyboard and software system, SureType effectively combines a traditional phone keypad and a familiar QWERTY-based keyboard to create an efficient and familiar typing experience. When you type on the Samsung Blast, SureType technology automatically changes the letters on the screen and lists suggested words below the text.
SureType allows you to quickly and accurately compose messages using single-handed operation or two-handed thumb-typing--without the limitations of traditional phone keypads. There are no dual keypads, peripherals or hardware transformations required and there is no need to learn a new way to type. Since the software understands what you're typing, you can concentrate on composing your message rather than on the input method. To help facilitate easy spelling and composition, SureType includes intuitive software with a word list of over 35,000 words and the ability to increase that list based on the frequency of use and the names and addresses in the smartphone's address book.
Vital Statistics
The Samsung Blast weighs 2.8 ounces and measures 4.16 x 2.04 x 0.5 inches. Its 800 mAh lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 5 hours of talk time, and up to 199 hours (8.3) of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 GSM/GPRS/EDGE frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.
Customer Reviews:
Overall, great phone..........2007-12-07
I have had my own Samsung Blast for a little over 4 months now and decided to read through some of the customer comments and reviews. The one that really jumped out at me was Sarabellum's comment stating that you can't switch from predictive text (T9)and when the phone is closed you can't operate it. These statements are completely false.
The predictive text is extremely easy to turn off. You press the upper right hand button on the main keypad when creating a message. This will cycle you through the different text options. It is one of the easiest problems to fix.
As an earlier cutomer pointed out, you can do many things while the phone is closed. You can make and answer calls, read text messages, play games, listen to music, check e-mail(if sign-in is saved in phone), etc.
As a user of the phone, I have been very pleased with it. Sound quality is excellent, the new letter design which is set up like a comp. keyboard may take a bit to get used to but eventually works quite well, the camera is wonderful, memory space is just fine without a memory card (I have had the phone for 4 months and still have not bought a memory card. Overall it performs well and is great all around. Although I will agree that the battery could be a bit bigger or at least made to last longer.
good but not that good..........2007-12-04
so i got this phone 3 wks ago after having 5-6 yrs of motorolas, so i keep going back to learn new things from the manual. YES the pretext thing is absolutely anonnying when it comes to texting. and i also dont think that it has as sensetive keys as my other phones, simply because when i'm texting really fast it takes a frac. of sec to recognize my lettering or like 3/4 of the time puts in the wrong letter, simply because i'm going too fast. the sound quality i think is fantastic, loud and clear. it has way more features than any other phone i had and it looks smooth. one thing i really want to know is that what is the double arrow >>| on the * key, didnt find it anywhere on manual. and to answer the apostrophe prob. your suposed to press Alt + L (2x). what i want to know though is how do you go about changing the soft keys on the main page, or cant you? but once you figure out all the little stuff and boost its memory its a good handy phone.
A Great Phone.......2007-11-25
Pros-
-mp3
-bluetooth
-longer video time
-easy use keyboard
-1.2megapixel camera with special effects.
Cons-
-little memory*
-The stupid thing that happens while texting when it thinks it knows what you are thinking.
*Can be fixed by buying a microSD. can be found for around $8-$50+ depending on capacity.
Great cell phone for teenagers. Easy to text with. Strong. Light. Large screen, a customizable button. I really like this phone.
One Problem.......2007-10-24
I've had the phone for about 2 weeks and I am unable to receive text messages from my friends who have Verizon service (I have T-mobile). I've had them call Verizon and I've been in contact with T-Mobile. I find this weird because I know the Blast is also available from Verizon. I am considering returning this phone for that reason because I find it very frustrating being that I text more than I talk. Something to consider if you are textually active across providers like my friends and I.
cool phone to save cost on email.......2007-10-12
I got this phone because it says no extra cost for yahoo and aol email. Yes, you only pay text message fee for checking email. Great feature. However, T mobile employee is not trained well and they don't even know this feature of SAMSUNG BLAST. I even had a argue with person in T mobile store of 3936 Rivermark Plz, Santa Clara, CA. Do not befool by these untrained T mobile employees. They just want to sell you $5.99/month web service.
Only thing I am not happy is the phone comes without Micro SD card.
