Verizon Service Options
This phone is also compatible with Verizon's V CAST Music with Rhapsody, which enables you to access this exclusive digital music service for RealNetworks and for MTV Networks. V CAST Music with Rhapsody delivers unlimited monthly access to music on up to three Rhapsody-compatible mobile phones and players and online on multiple PCs and Web browsers.

Verizon's Mobile eMail gives you access to your Windows Live Hotmail, Yahoo Mail and AOL accounts so you can read, write, and reply. Access your address book, receive e-mail alerts and more, right on your Verizon Wireless phone. Getting on the Internet is easy using Verizon's Mobile Web 2.0 package, which allows you to read and send e-mails, exchange instant messages and view your favorite web content on your phone. Verizon's Media Center wireless download service is also fully compatible with this phone. This pay-per-download service features application downloads, games and productivity tools. You can also personalize your handset with ringtone downloads using the Media Center service.

With this GPS-enabled phone, you'll be able to access Verizon's VZ Navigator service (additional charges applicable) for voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions, heads-up alerts, local search of nearly 14 million points of interest in the US (such as landmarks, restaurants and ATMs), and detailed color maps.

After defining a zone, such as an area designating a school or summer camp, you'll be sent an alert via text message when the Chaperone handset enters or leaves the zone.

Phone Features
The slider-style Samsung Sway sports a 2.2-inch LCD screen with a 240 x 320-pixel resolution and support for up to 262K colors.

4 out of 5 stars Great phone, some possible deal breakers   January 1, 2009
Pros:
This phone has a really good camera. Also the screen is more vibrant than on my flip chocolate, the lg vx8600 that was replaced, so pictures look much more vibrant.

Cons:
The texting and some of the menu interface is really slow. Sometimes, the texting will be 3-5 letters behind me since i'm a fast texter. Also the battery time isn't that long. It only lasts me two days max and i don't talk long on the phone at all. If you spend a decent amount of time on the phone you will have to charge it every day. Lastly, the screen could be bigger...

Other thoughts:
If you're someone who texts a lot, prepare to be frustrated by the software being so slow. What makes it so annoying is when i'm using T9, and i forget to change the word to a different arrangement because the texting is so slow, i never see that it was on a different word. If you're not a texter, and looking for a decent, stylish phone with all the basic features, this is an excellent choice. Texting and the low battery life aren't necessarily deal breakers tho.



5 out of 5 stars Great Phone   December 16, 2008
After two weeks I can safely say I am going to keep the Sway. Ringtone/alarm volume is very loud. The vibrate sound would be nice if it could be adjusted but no complaints. Screen is large and clear. The user interface is nice and clean and customizable, meaning the up, left and down can be customized, the right goes to a set of 4 custom settings. ( alittle menu pops up when you hit right)

-Nice set of about 20 ringtones.
-Separate camera button on the outside of the phone
-Camera shutter can be shut off so it's silent (my old samsung didn't allow this)
-SD Micro card slot, I added a 2gb card and I think I can take about 1800 photos at the highest setting: 1600x1200
-Little quirk I found is the door to the card slot pushes or pops the card back out a few times. Seems like either the card is too long or the door to the slot is too thick, it's hit and miss sometimes, right now it hasn't effected it for a few days.
-3 alarms

besides that the call volume is loud and clear which is what I needed just a solid phone. I'm happy with my purchase.



4 out of 5 stars My First Phone   December 2, 2008
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Even though this is my first phone, I have to say this phone is amazing.

The speakers are able to play at an extremely loud volume for a phone, which is very appropriate for music playing.

The slim form and aesthetics of this phone are definitely benefits to enjoying it.

My only dislikes are the near requirement to push the phone up by the screen (Causing fingerprints), very little internal memory (50mb according to my phone), and a limit on the amount of text messages allowed in the inbox (

I'm not sure if there is a limit. My phone stops at around 120 messages. I'll try to find a solution for this problem later).

After getting a microsd card, most of the phone's problems go away. =)



5 out of 5 stars great phone   November 14, 2008

I got this phone about three weeks ago and I think it works great. The screen is very clear, texting is easy, it looks good, phone quality seems to be fine. The menus are easy to use and so are the camera and camcorder. The battery seems okay. Verizon says it gets ~4.5 hours use time and 312 hours standby time. The standby time is stretching it a lot. I usually recharge it every two or three days, but I text a lot. Overall this phone is awesome and I would definitely recommend it.


5 out of 5 stars Loving the Sway :)   November 12, 2008
  5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I just bought this phone yesterday after spending a few days online comparing phones offered by Verizon. I was debating between LG enV2 and this one, but in the end I liked the Sway more. So far I do not regret my decision: the phone is light, stylish, easy to use, the display is big, the camera and camcorder are fun. Even though I have a semiprofessional camera and an iPod, it is good to know that I can take pictures and listen to my music anytime. And 8GB MicroSD is a big plus, plenty of space to store whatever :) I really like the sound, I am used to playing mp3s on my phone or using them as ring tones. The menu is easy to navigate, easy to customize, texting is easy too. Overall - a great phone!
