As a personal preference. I would take Samsung over any brand, any day.
But those phones you've displayed, I wouldn't consider as Samsung's best or even close to. I'm positive there are better Samsung phones.
Are you a texter? I've found some of the Samsung phones don't have the T9 so watch for that.

[DKYang]

I never heard of any of those stores before. Try to search for them on ebay, a lot of these phone stores also sell stuff on ebay.

[ayadaokin]

I would choose Samsung over any brand if I see one.
To me they've been very very trustworthy and they all offer alot, especially in looks lately.
Samsung has been doing really well and they keep coming out with better products.

As for those sites I have never heard of them before so...

[michellek]

i love samsung. it's a really good brand, and i currently have an SGH A707, aka samsung Sync. <3
i think their slider phones (the first one) are awesome. definitely trustworthy.

[Desda]

OH yes i really like samsung products. I would try their phones if I were you.
The sliding ones are <3

edit
haven't heard of those stores tho.

hmm I never liked samsung phones... but they are great. they dont crash and sliders feel really well built, some of the best phones Ive held actually. It's just after using sony ericsson for mp3s and camera, I find it a lot better than samsung products. The sound quality is better (on samungs i found it very tinny with little bass) and the user interface for the mp3 player was a LOT better. nobody has heard of those websites you listed hahaha... i think ebay would actually be a pretty safe place to buy non-rare phones. Make sure they have good feedback (there are some reputable sellers that only sell phones).

[x`aNNiie.]

I personally don't like samsung, i've been through two and they both stuffed up.

My mums and brothers lasted and they were the slide ones.

[JooLee]

Hey guys! thanx alot for the replies, i was planning to buy it off ebay
but i had a bad experience with my lg chocolate haha
but i think i might get the samsung F250 if anyone knows how good it is

I just need a phone thats under 200 ^^;;;
Any input would be awesome

[naoto]

okay, if you don't want ebay then try this

www.howardforums.com

and go to the buy/sell/trade section. it is a very reputable site (some at&t/verizon/etc. workers even post there). Make sure the buyer has feedback, just like selling section on soompi!... and make sure you get your boy/guy-friend to accompany you if you plan to pick up the phone in person (because you're a girl!). If not, those who are willing to ship accept paypal mostly. Just ask.

otherwise, maybe craigslist sells them? I never used that website. I still think ebay is very safe though... and easy~

[silver-2u]

E890 is pretty~

doesn't look that bad...though it's camer is 1.3 megapixel....it's kinda usual...hehe

I have the Samsung F250. It's pretty. The only thing I don't like the 1.3 mp camera.
Here are some pictures I took:

hey, is that the blue version? how's the volume quality when you get an incoming call or when you talk with someone?

[bluenette]

Yea that's the blue version. My sister has the chocolate/bronze color one. There is also a green version too.
The volume is good and clear. I have T-Mobile and I think that's why the volume is clear. I used to have AT&T/Cingular and the volume was just horrible.

is there a hole to put charms??

[JooLee]

awh thanx for replying to my thread ahaha
i thought no one saw this anymore. i got a new phone
but i went with a chinese brand XD but thanks

[KTHubbybunch]

i suggest you get the E950 its pack with features than those other 2 of your choice.

[yoohyex]

i have the F250

its okay i guess, cute too.

but im not really a big slide phone fan.

idk, if i phone was a really good condition, totally sell it you for a good price.

buying it on ebay?

i bought mine at a cell phone store. for about 150? i think.

its a good phone. samsung has a lot of options. like the radio, pictures turn out good.

do you text a lot?

it has a T9 option, but the text is really big and you cant change settings for it pernamently.

gotta do that like everytime you txt.

i think its hard to txt. cuz im a fast txter and most of the time wrong letters come up.

gotta remind myself that its a electronic not a human. xp

i give it a rating of 4 out of 5

=)
