Cool phone. Added another line and bought it for $0. And as far as for the memory, it's expandable. All I had to do is put the 1GB micro SD card which I already have and bwa-lah. And don't need no cables either because I just stick the memory card in the laptop to transfer files. Wife loves the phone 'cause she feels young once again because my daughters all have Mp3 phones(Nokia 533 and Moto Rizr z3). Now they envy her phone. Gave her old phone Nokia 6133 to my son which was also a great phone.

Cool Phone i have had for a while and its great. The QWERTY keypad its nice and easy to use. Only thing is that at first it gets frustrating but later you get used to it. The looks are nice and it has great features. I would give this phone a 7.5 out of 10.

I can tell how this phone it got its name. It is a blast. Although Some qualities are bad. like how the keys feel somewhat cheep and the email is hard for people that have hotmail or gmail.
And although it has a sure type keyboard like the blackberry you can still tell that its a Samsung. The overall look is very appealing and once you get used to the sure type keys texting becomes a breeze!
Over all I think this is a great phone and would rate it as a 6.6 out of ten.

Overall I like this phone. It's cute, a nice size, and has an easy-to-use QWERTY keyboard for texting. HOWEVER, it frequently freezes up on me! When this happens I have to turn it off, then on again. very inconvenient!

This phone looks nice, and the controls are nice. However, it doesn't come with the computer cables, which pissed me off. Also, it only holds 11 MB of memory. That's very inadequate, especially with a 1.3 mp camera. I didn't know this when I bought it, and when I was transferring photos and video from my old phone via the memory card, the memory of the Blast filled fast. My two year old phone has 70 MB internal memory. Therefore I am returning the Blast and waiting for a better phone to come out. For the price, this phone is not worth it.

Finally a site that has the ACTUAL dimensions of the screen. Ive seen it countless times from when i bought this phone that the size was 200, here its 220, but i had to find that out the hard way with test-and-error to use my own background.
So that proves this site is legit.
