This phone does not offer a feature set comparable to a BlackBerry or other smartphones. However, this Sprint mobile phone offers a feature set that will satisfy the needs of the average user.

The new Samsung Exclaim messaging phone carries a 2.6 inch QVGA display and a 2.0-megapixel camera. other key features include 3G support, Bluetooth, GPS, , and a microSD card slot that can hold up to 32GB cards.

This cool cell phone also offers several social-networking features, like interactive Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace. This makes it popular with teens and young users who are addicted to social networks.

Now on to the reviews. Well, experts and users love the Exclaim's design as well as its good feature set and excellent call quality. The negative feed back was minimal. Some say that the nonstandard headset jack and weak external speaker were disappointing. Nonetheless, the positive attributes overshadow all the negative observations.
