Samsung Admire / Vitality

i'm really interesting in getting the phone samsung admire but I heard the phone had bad call quality and the texting messaging alert is really low even if the volume is up. Can you please tell me if this is true? I'm a huge texter and i need to have nice call quality. and does the battery life die really fast or does it depend if your on wifi or not?
thank you so very much

I am looking to upgrade to my first smart phone. I am seriously considering the Samsung Admire. Is this a good phone for me considering that it is my first smart phone and I have no idea about smart phones? I have heard good and bad things about this phone and I am trying to sort them all out. Thank you in advance.

Would have been nice. Never mind about the Android with just 3G.
