Warning!!! Even though the product description clearly states US warranty it does NOT have one. This is a Latin American phone and therefore the warranty is only valid when sold in Latin America. Samsung will not be able to provide any warranty coverage or even technical help if this phone has issues. Just thought I would save everyone the money that so many others have lost on this product.

This is a great "little" smart phone. It's not a mini tablet as some of the newer smart phones are but it is a phone with some very nice, usable features. Notes: If you don't care about the white vs black case - save your money and get the black; also if you really don't need the dual SIM feature, save your money and get the single SIM version of this phone (it has a different model number). I have an AT&T prepaid plan and this unlocked phone works great. I am still getting used to the touch pad but it seems very responsive and a stylus is a real help. I opted for this item because I wanted a white screen and the warranty. But when I tried to register it at Samsung US, they didn't recognize it as a US model and wouldn't give me one, so beware. Again, love the phone, but save your money and purchase this model, black or white, dual SIM or not, without the warranty because it isn't available in US.

I bought this phone for my 12 year old niece in the Philippines. I bought an earlier model S5306. They use phones differently than we do here in the states, about 99% texting and less that 1% voice calls. My niece maintains 3 or 4 simultaneous text conversations while watching TV or eating dinner. She loves this phone. She picks up Wi-Fi in the Mall and 'Facebooks' while taking photos, videos, listening to music and talking to 4 girlfriends all at once. I paid about the same price, unlocked, in The Philippines. (5,000 pesos) Since than I have purchased three more of these phones, newer model S6102. All my other nieces and nephews are crazy about the original one I bought. Unfortunately the niece who has the first one had it slip out of her jacket pocket while riding on a motorcycle. Warning - these phones do not bounce well. So one of these three new phones is a replacement. It lasted her almost a year with no problems.
