A PhoneScoop user reviews the Samsung Gleam: “The Samsung Gleam has excellent reception, and the voice quality is on par if not slightly better than my Razr Maxx. The display is very crisp and easily read. The Samsung Gleam paired with my Motorola H550 easily enough. The phone itself seems very light compared to my previous Motorola.

My only gripe with the Samsung Gleam so far are that the Backup Assistant doesn’t seem to be available for this phone. As of 10/11/07. So I had to pair it with my other phone and send the contacts over via Bluetooth. And the ring tones included with the Samsung Gleam are utter garbage.”

Another user says: “I got the Samsung Gleam on Friday and by Sunday I had to replace the phone twice. that is a total of 3 phones and finally took it back the third time, and now getting the new Motorola Z6tv, and hope that it will be good phone.

Now in regards to this Samsung. The Samsung Gleam is a good looking phone. even though I am not to much of a fan of the gold/sliver (but more gold) than any thing color on the side of the Samsung Gleam and on the key pad. the Live Wall paper is great, the phone is nice to handle very light and thin.”
