Samsung Blast SGH-T729 (T-Mobile) review

It's been a while since we've seen a new, exciting cell phone for T-Mobile , so when Samsung announced its new SGH-T729 we took notice. Also called the Blast (yet another crazy Samsung nickname), the SGH-T729 offers a thin slider design, Bluetooth, a...

The Samsung Blast SGH-T729 has an attractive, user-friendly design, multiple messaging options, and good call quality.

The Samsung Blast SGH-T729's volume is somewhat low and its music player is mediocre.

The sexy Samsung Blast SGH-T729 is a great messaging phone with good call quality, but we were hoping for a speedier data network as well.

Samsung Blast-SGH-T729

What T-Mobile might lack in the way of a high speed data network, they more than make up for with service plans and features geared towards families and messaging addicts. Their myFaves plan and Sidekick family of devices have caught on with...

Samsung Blast-SGH-T729

The Samsung Blast-SGH-T729 was designed as the replacement phone for the aging Samsung T719 as a lower end phone that is perfect for the average user but still offers enough features to find a home in the corporate environment. However, unlike the...

SureType QWERTY keyboard ; Lengthy battery life ; Small and light

Poor camera quality ; No 3G support

The Samsung Blast-SGH-T729 is a great phone that really doesn't fit into one given niche. If you need a phone for the office, this is not it. If you want a phone that has some awesome features, this isn't what you need. But, if you are looking for a...

Piece of junk

This was the second Samsung phone I've owned, and the first one also died for no good reason shortly after the warranty expired. They seem to specialize in making phones that last for about a year and a month. I only even got this handset because...

Decent phone while it lasted. Reception is not bad; camera is OK

Stopped working literally a week after the warranty ran out. Samsung was no help ; What seems to happen is that after you slide the handset open and shut a certain number of times, it just wears out. In my case, some connector or contact point inside...

Awesome! Unless you want a phone.

It would be nice if the buttons didn't click so loudly. For instance an iphone can be used to text in a quiet theater without garnering the collective ire of the entire audience.

Txt msging with the Blast is FAR superior to the nine-key style, and FAST! Second in speed only to the iPhone. The autocomplete function is smart and adaptable, in fact it is easier to actually spell out whole words rather than abbrv them (unless you...

That being said, the one thing that this phone sucks at is being a phone ; One of my favorite pleasures is freeing my hands or my crooked neck by using my bluetooth headset. Originally i had a low-end Motorola headset which worked great with my...

C'Mon Don't Pull My Chain

After many hours of frustration, several calls to T-Mobile Tech Support (they are the best in the business, AT&T cannot hold a candle to them in the area of customer services or support), and a couple of calls to Samsung Tech Support, we decided to...

The Samsung T729 Blast does have a great layout and is easy to learn to handle

C'Mon, give me a break, a five hour talk time....I tried that, it lasted all of two-and-a-half hours before the phone started emitting an annoying beep into my bluetooth earpiece. On top of that, it does have some problems achieving signal strength in...

Not such a blast

Initially took this as an upgrade from a Samsung e715 which was showing its age. Have had iffy connection (voice & data) ever since (major metropolitan area). One friend actually refuses to talk to me when I'm on on this phone because of the poor sound...

Attractive, well-constructed slider phone.

Poor call quality.

Better than what everyone says

All in all, it's a good phone. Don't let the 'Slow' texting keep you from purchasing this phone. I highly recommend this phone!

Looks cool, Liked the Color scheme, Prefer the different layout on the keys, prefer sliders. Fast OS,

Yes, it does slow down your texting a little, but just A LITTLE. It's not as a bad as people make it out to be. I'm in highschool, With this phone I averaged around 8,000 texts a month, that's really not bad. I don't know too many kids that do too much...
