Blast is a Bust
I have purchased 2 Samsung Blasts over the past 2 weeks. I had the first one for maybe 2 or 3 days and the second one for about a week and a half. The battery life is absolutely terrible. I found this problem to be true with both phones. There are days I barely used my phone..no calls and a few texts and the phone doesn't even last 18 hours. It's ridiculous!! Another problem is that the keys on the keypad are so small. Because of the QWERTY style keyboard, it had been an adjustment when texting. Also because the way the keyboard is, this phone is wide.
The predictive text is also a pain. It will choose words you don't mean to type in. When you press the same key 2 times in a row, it usually doesn't take it and it just causes a mess.
I have owned many different Samsung phones
(15 to be exact) over the past 2 and a half years and one is the worst I've had by far! I had the model the Blast replaced and loved it. I wish I could say the same about the Blast.
