Description The Samsung R355C is Straight Talk's 2nd texting model to hit the market. Like the Samsung R451C, the R355 offers a full QWERTY keyboard in a Blackberry style body for those that love to text. The R355 is Straight Talk's version of the Samsung SCH-r350 Freeform so while the phone is not exactly new, it is a solid proven model. Like the R451C, the R355 offers an on board MP3 player with expandable SD card slot accepting SD cards up to 16 gigs. Like all modern smart phones, the R355 also includes a 1.3 mega pixel camera with Digital zoom, Night mode, White balance, Mirror, Multi shot, Effects and Self-timer capabilities. Of course the R355 can be activated with either the 1000 minute/1000 text 30 meg plan or the $45 unlimited calling/text plan with 30 megs of data. If texting phones are your cup of tea and you prefer the Blackberry style over the slider variety, then the sold R355C is for you.

Functionality As with all Samsungs, navigation buttons are intuitive and easy to figure out. A center OK key is surrounded by, UP,DOWN ,LEFT,and RIGHT easy navigation. Additionally, the R355 has both quick Speaker select and Camera select buttons so no need to scroll through menus to engage those features. The volume keys are nicely placed on the right side for quick and easy volume control during speaker phone or regular calls. Of course the highlight of the 355 is its full QWERTY keypad with durable and quality keys for fast web browsing / texting.

Extras While the R355 makes for an excellent texting phone, it also comes a 1.3 mp digital camera and full MP3 player which is well worth the price of the phone. Memory can be expanded up to 16 gigs via micro SD card slot so playlist possibilities are endless if you purchase multiple SD cards. Yet another awesome feature new to Straight Talk, is the option to connect to your car's Bluetooth giving you the ability to listen to callers on your stereo speakers. As with all Straight Talk phones, standard features include caller id, call waiting and voice mail.

In summary, the R355C is an excellent phone with plenty of features to satisfy most users. This phone is perfect for those who love to text but do not like the slider design offered in the R451C. It has everything you need at relatively low price and is a great way to take advantage of Straight Talk's 1000 or unlimited text plans.

texting +

I read that after 30 messages you have to delete them to recieve more.. is this true? can u set the phone to auto delete when it gets too many?
How is the mobile web? can i go to facebook, myspace?
Can i use AIM or Twitter?

Re:texting+

Don't believe that is the case. I have 45 in my inbox right now. As for mobile web. Facebook Twitter both work. You just have to go to their mobile pages. ie.facebook.m or twitter.m. Aim or any sort of instant messenger will not work.

sd card

I just upgraded my phone on my Straight Talk plan and had a question about the SD card for the Samsung SCH-355c. Is it standard SD or can I use a SDHC? It says it can take up to a 16gig card, but all I can find in that capacity are SDHC. And most of them say to check with your phone provider to see if it's capatable. When I did this, they pretty much were as baffled as I am! Someone else has had to come across this. Let me know what you find out.

Re:SD CArd

I believe all 16 gig cards are SDHC. Basically a regular SD card with high capacity. Haven't tried one personally but manual says 16 gig is limit so should work. Just remember to get the micro SD

mins used

Ive been with straighttalk for over a year now and love the service. just got the r355c AWSOME phone. I was wondering if u are using the web will it use up your mins on the the $30 a month service?

re:mins used

hi there. No, it will not use your mins. The data has its own limit which is 30 megabytes. Once you use that up, then you need to wait till you buy your next card. Your minutes will remain intact even when you reach the limit.

voice mail problem

this should be simple, but i can't figure out how to get my voicemail to start working. i follow instructions for setting up voicemail, but when i record my message i can't find any button that ends the recording. then, every time i go to voicemail it takes me through the whole setup process again. help!

Re:voice mail problem

Perhaps you have already done so, but these Verizon set up instructions should work Voicemail Set up. If you are following the prompts and your recording isn't "sticking", then I would call customer service and have them reset your voicemail.

i love this phone!:)

i love this phone!:)

yahoo IM

Is there an app or something I can add or way that would enable me to YIM I did log on & try but there was no where to IM or receive that I could figure out??
Thanks
