Samsung Preston

I think it would be appropriate to have my first blog about the stuff around me. My mobile phone of two months, Samsung Preston (GT s5603), is one of the touch phones of Samsung. Actually, I've been an avid Samsung follower, I've had like three Samsung phones before (E250, E590, U700), and now since touch screen phones are so popular, well, I won't be the last one to have it! =P

QUEENBEE'S COMMENT:
Well, as far as I know, this phone is very sensitive when it comes to the charger/headset port. I've had mine fixed just a few days ago (good thing there such a thing as WARRANTY!). If ever you experience the same dilemma as I had with the phone, just make sure to bring to any Samsung Mobile Service Center (there's one in SM Megamall). Mind you, it will take a few days to a week to fix it, because they replace the motherboard of the phone immediately for the slightest damages to avoid more problems for you, that's better right?

It also comes in different colors, from what I saw when I was buying this, there was Charcoal Gray (that's mine!), White, and Red.

But all in all,this phone is FUN! Perfect for people who loves to just scroll down and is very excited to have their own touch phones.
