Got this phone to upgrade a 2 year old Sony Erickson 810 model from ATT. Didn't want to shell out the dollars for a plan increase (texting, internet etc) with ATT free phones beyond the basic models. Device worked easily once the ATT sim card was plugged in and the battery charged. Touchscreen is responsive though not comparable to iphone quality. Product comes with a stylus which we rarely use. Supposed to be for texting Chinese characters. We have installed a 4GB micro-SD card to add music files. Had to install the Samsung Kies application from their website to move music files. Note: To get this app - go to Samsung web page and pick a different geography than US for this to show up since the Champ is not directly sold here.

The cellphone has quite a few widgets which can be enabled and customized. Also lets the user change the look and feel of the multiple user screens you can access by swiping across the LCD. Music playback is quite good and the music player remains active even when you get out of that widget. The speakers are good enough to listen to the music w/o headphones. The phone also has a built in radio tuner that works quite well.

The biggest problem we have with the phone is actually a user interface issue. When the touchscreen is used to dial a number, once the call gets connected the phone screen automatically locks up. You have to use the hold key for several seconds to unlock it at that point. This is a big headache if you need to access calling feature like speakerphone or the keypad. There is no options in the setting to disable this. We were almost tempted to return the phone due to this issue but held on to avoid the hassles. Otherwise a great phone at a great price.
