Samsung Intercept Review Q/A

Lmp1054

Newbie
Hello,

Decided to Leave Tmobile and My G1 (without Interent) for a more affordable Virgin Mobile.

219.99 at bestbuy minus 10% and $60 from selling my G1 so $157 to go from my g1 to this intercept

I save $19 a month from witching from tmobile to Virgin Mobile

Anyways I feel like i did not upgrade going from the G1 to Intercept. I mean it is a nice phone but it does not seem like that significatly better then the G1. Screen is smaller, it feels "cheap"

The 1st thing i did when i got this phone was root it. I was not able to do it on my windows 7 64bit laptop, i had to do it on my netbook running XP.

Process was very straight forward.

Next step is tethering still have not been able to do so.

I highly recommend getting GDE home, to be able to use more then 3 screen and it also carousels so significantly improves this phone.

Phone seemed to actually slow down a little when i rooted it. Seems very stable with the GDE home.

Summary,
Pros
Cheap Very Inexpensive,
Small phone

Cons
Cheap Feels cheap
Small Screen,
not able to teather
