The Bottom Line:
I'd buy it with a new contract so you get a deal. For the $200 I spent, I wish I had gotten more application choices and a larger screen.
I just recently purchased a new Samsung Highlight from a TMobile store out of pocket for $200 since I lost my other phone and wasn't yet eligible for an upgrade (very tragic and costly). I liked the compact size of the phone, the touch screen, and was drawn to the 3G internet capabilities. I used to have a Sidekick 08, but figured since I had to pay a couple hundred to replace it, I might as well get something a little sleeker without breaking the bank.
The cons to this phone are that the screen is fairly small so typing usually results in a lot of errors. Also, for such a hip phone, there are hardly any applications available for downloads - lame. Also, the exterior of the phone only comes in light blue or orange, I was hoping for black or gray because I'm boring I suppose. Also, the phone scratches/chips easily when dropped (I'd know, because I dropped it on the sidewalk and it bounced around thus chipping in 3 different places. I'd highly recommend buying a screen protector and a rubber skin for the phone to save yourself from this.
I LOVE the speed of the 3G internet. I also like the touch screen for internet browsing. The speaker phone is loud and clear, the photos are also clear with a 3MP camera and the phone comes stock with a photo editor to lighten/darken images, enhance contrast, etc. The battery life is pretty good too, it definitely lasts longer than the sidekick!
