Yawn. Hey CNET, how about at least a passing reference to how the thing SOUNDS. It is a phone, after all.

I had bad decision to get Samsung Gleam. Now I can't wait the contract is over, to get something different.

1. You can't transfer files through USB in "disk" mode. You have to use their lame program, which pathetically crashes if run under a simple user account. Removing the memory card from it is such a hassle - you have to remove the battery first,
2. You CAN'T use an MP3 as your ringtone. WHY?
3. Its keypad plastic gives off a nasty chemical smell. Even after a year. W T F?
