Reviewers Didn't Like

  • Samsung's proprietary charging port is inconvenient, and the Zeal's call quality could be better
  • All extra features cost more, Large compared with other phones
  • Clunky Web browser; no threaded messaging; soft focus photos, poor QCIF videos; low ringtone volume
  • The Dear Diary feel of the interface is at odds with anyone over 13. My Room Menu theme is embarrassing. Lack of dedicated buttons leave you hunting and pecking for even the most common tasks
  • Awkwardly placed D-pad, Somewhat bulky, No 3.5 mm headphone jack
  • Subpar e-mail app and Web browser. No user-customizable keypad shortcuts
