Samsung SGH-250 - User Reviews

  • I miss u so much already.

  • plz I want this phone.

  • I wonder if any of the guys working on this phone still work on Samsung current phones, like Note9 or S10

  • this is good mobile, has keyboard and good screen. better than s9 mobile

  • That was a good one

  • The Samsung Note is just an improved model of this phone. Similar to the upgrade of the Huawei P7 to the Huawei P10. Therefore, I agree 100% with your comment!

  • Frodo :) ...I believe that has the leica optics they preped this phone wth the Note internals back then aleady...so this is super jas bra..omp

  • Very cool phone. Takes nice pictures!

  • I bought this phone when it launched in 1996 and I've survived Vietnam with it. I was once shot in the chest and this thing took the bullet. No damage to it! Strongly reccomend buying this phone. I play World of Tanks on it in Korea and it was great, I used it as a remote to control my tank too! 10/10 would bring to 'Nam again!

  • i bought this in 1996 and been using ever since. a few days ago i decided to upgrade to the samsung galaxy s 3. when i turned it on, i fainted... after i got out of the hospital, i decided to sell the s 3 and return to my sgh-250. the whole experience was too overwhelming. BUT I HAVEN'T GIVEN UP YET!!! i'll go through every samsung between the sgh-250 and the s3, year by year, until i finally reach it. only then will i be able to use a modern phone without a risk to my sanity. s3, here i come!

  • Lol im not the only one

  • This phone specification . Camera : 851mp with 1080p HD video. CPU : 2.6ghz dual core. 4G line with LTE.

  • Now this does not look any thing like my sgh-250, Mine is the lift face . I bought it 6-1-2012. So tell why you don't have that option to use , that good of skills to read it an apply it to the cell phone, plus your wording is the way you read it an not alwats the way some one else reads it! Like out going message , an how to set it! An then check it to be sure it comes across right to the person hearing it!
