Someone please answer this! I picked my wallpaper for a reason; I don't want to see those other pictures on my lock screen!

My wife and I just got the Samsung Highlight from TMobile. We are very happy with it. It fits nicely in our hands and pockets and the bluetooth works perfectly with all our wireless earpieces. I was using the Dash but this phone is so much fun I finally put my Dash away and have been using this phone exclusively. I must admit it was not easy giving up my trusty old Dash. The Highlight is fast, the voice quality is excellent and of course, you can't beat Tmobile's Customer Service. They are a great cell phone company.

I just got this phone for my wife. I played with it for awhile. And now i am jealous. It is great. It satisfies all my needs . I can't wait to upgrade my nokia 5310 to this one. I think I'm gonna cry :)

Really attractive. Video capturing is so convenient; and you can easily move it to your computer. I recorded my son’s performance and kept watching it over and over. Later, I found that my son is gifted in playing musical instruments. Image capturing is also satisfactory, good enough to put images online photo albums. Not only moving data into computer, a USB connection also makes a full charge of battery possible.

It seems to me that this product is excellent even though there are lots more fancy and expensive smart phones around with an additional cost.

omg! My wife and I bought two of these samsung highlights today. You save us from more grief. We've spent hours trying to figure out how to stop the stupid auto lock beast. Muchos Gracias!!!

This phone has been amazing! I am only 12, almost 13, and this is my first touch screen. in fact, this is my first nice phone! I absolutely LOVE THE COLOR CHOICES, i chose the fire because orange is awesomeness. it easily fits in my hand nicely and has a good feel. it isn’t like the G1, which has more things than i need…this is a simple, easy to use phone with nice photos, good sound.

I’ve been somewhat disappointed in the user interface: Recognition of screen taps is inconsistent, and selecting the ‘green phone’ icon in the call log sometimes dials the number, sometimes opens a window with the call info, and sometimes is ignored even after repeated presses.

This review raised a complaint about the send key opening the log instead of a dial screen, and I disagree with this assessment strongly. First, there is already an icon on the screen to open a dialer and — just as importantly — there is no other way to directly enter the log from the home page, the place where I make a lot of my calls (calling frequently dialed numbers). Thus, this complaint solved one of my problems!

Also, a note about lock key: despite what the review says, it’s possible to set the auto-lock off (Menu – Settings – Call Settings – Automatic screen lock), which will solve a lot of problems for navigating phone menus: you can keep the touchpad active until you’re ready to talk. There is, however a problem with the lock key itself, in that it doesn’t protrude enough, and is hard to locate.

In short, I’ve bought phones that I liked better, and ones that I disliked more.

Just bought this phone a week ago and love it! Can’t see how I have lived without it. It seems to be everything I could have ever wanted. The voice recognition is very good. You can do A LOT with this phone. I came from a pretty old TMobile phone though. So I am spoiled now. Just like my husbands Memoire but a better more sleek design with a less powerful camera, not bulky, great for a female who has small pockets. Fire color is super cool too.
