I got this phone the day after it launched, so far I have had zero problems with it. I was originally worried that this would thing would be a battery hog like the Thunderbolt. but it isn't! It makes it through a full day of use no problem. The screen is amazingly clear. the onscreen keyboard is easy to type on. Seeing as this is a 4G phone, it is crazy fast. Overall im very very pleased with it.

Pros

amazing screen good battery life thin

Cons

none so far

what i like the most is battery. It's the longer droid phone 4g capacity battery life i have ever know about. The second + point i would like to give it is the weight, It's very light weight. WOW. i could hold on on it as long as i like. I love phone like this. i have been waiting for so long to have the phone like this. 98% perfect. 2% left is for speaker phone. It's little noisy but it's alright. It's bother me much.

Pros

fit in with what i expect for

Cons

speaker phone is little noisy

This is a big step up from the original droid I was using but it's missing some key things: there is no led light available for missed calls, texts, or emails. You have to hit the unlock button to look in the status bar for your missed calls, etc. The battery life doesn't seem that great, but it's still hard to tell since I've been using it a lot. It also comes with a bunch of apps that I don't want but don't seem to have the option to delete. The phone also doesn't show the percent of charge (until complete) when plugged into the charger and seems to take a much longer time to complete a charge than I am used to, I may be exchanging this one before my 30 days are up, that is, unless Verizon fixes some of these issues.

Pros

fast 4g (but no coverage in my area)

Cons

no led light for missed calls text or email. doesn't show battery % when charging

The battery life could be better but when a phone moves this fast who could complain. Even tried it next to the Motorola Atrix and blew the speed of that phone away. Not to mention the display is amazing. Impressed but please update this phone on time Samsung.

If you want a bigger screen, than this is a good phone. The screen display is nice. It is a little bit longer than phones I am used to, but fairly thin. I was reconsidering it because of the length, but I realized I wanted to have a bigger picture on my screen anyway. It was worth it. Just don't drop it on cement when you get home from buying it!

Pros

faster internet speend than my blackberry

Cons

screen shattered when accidentally dropped 10 minutes after i bought it

This phone has everything that I want... except a decent battery life. I'm having to charge my battery at least twice a day. I'm sure they will offer an extended battery soon, if they don't already have one. Otherwise, it's a beautiful device.

Pros

beautiful screen!! lightweight and fun to use.

Cons

the battery life is miniscule.

I love this phone. This is my first smartphone too. I'm currently testing out the batter life and with wifi constantly on and the display at the highest setting I've been able to go 8hrs20min. So I can only imagine what the battery life will be if I use the default settings with wifi off, I used it moderately going online and using Facebook. The 4g is fast and even though this is my first smartphone, my family uses internet on their phones and this is so fast compared to theirs. You will get used to the size of it. Also if you're worried about getting used to the touch screen don't worry you will get used to it easier then you think, this is my first touchscreen phone and the texting wasn't the hard part to get used to it was the auto correct, but it will correct your Spanish which is great. You'll love this phone.

Pros

looks great feels great

Cons

haven't found anything wrong yet

First to Review :)I'm a phone enthusiast and use smartphones like these for everything. The super AMOLED plus touch screen is phenomenal. I recently reviewed the Thunderbolt. The Thunderbolt and Droid Charge have pretty much the same specs except the following. 4 Things this Droid Charge has that the Thunderbolt does not have is a longer battery life, easy access to Memory Card w/out removing the battery, and 4G Mobile Hotspot up to 10 devices. The Charge even has the new Bluetooth 3.0 connectivity. This is phone also has an HDMI out port to view your videos from the phone to compatible HDTV. The web browser is powerful, with Flash Player.

Pros

long battery life for 4g! light. large 4.3in screen! flash player. mobile hotspot up to10 devices!

Cons

pricey. no simultaneous 3g voice/data: the samsung ui takes a bit of getting used to.
