I bought a brand new unit but the touchscreen stopped working before the warranty ran out. Samsung would not honor the warranty if you do not live in the Europe. However, Amazon honored the warranty. So, if you do not live in Europe, don't buy it.

Hi Alicia. When I bought this phone was brand new and work very well. I've only bought a refurbished item that was a blueray player and so far after a year has worked well. Greetings.

I've had this phone for less than a month but so far, I've had no issues.I opted to buy from Amazon instead of Virgin Mobile because it was $50 cheaper.I have not regretted that decision. Shipping was swift and Virgin Mobile had no issues activating the phone.Keep in mind; you will need to purchase a micro SD card for memory if you plan to store music, apps, and/or lots of photos and videos. I recommend getting this at the same time as your phone. Short answer: totally satisfied with this phone.

However, unless you have already bought it, I woul look for something more upto date. This one is not a smartpgone. Try at least Samsung Ace or similar, in close price range.

I had a samsung with international waranty and I needed to use it since my phone has broken but Samsung position is that they do not issue this kind of waranties for smartphones and that the waranty was issued by the supplier, not by Samsung. So, I contact Amazon, which is the supplier, and they are going to refund the price I paid for the phone, which is good actually.

I can't say for 100% the phone is goin to be good. You should check the rates before buying it.

I pre-ordered when it became available again. Everything I read regarding the BD-UP5000 has been very favorable. A user review on the AVS forum for the new LG combo has pointed out some flaws, especially with SD DVD playback. I only have room for one machine and the Samsung looks to be worth the wait. I hope it is not delayed further.

I can only answer on the basis of my choice to purchase a refurbished model over a used one. A refurbished computer is supposed to have problems removed and components replaced if needed. The unit received should be in good working order w/out errors / error messages.

We bought a brand new phone. It wasn't refurbished or used. The brand new was even Chester than the other 2 also.

the phone is released, it should work perfectly, I do not see any problem, if I work with Venezuela telephone companies that are the most problematic of the world should work in any country without any kind of problems, greetings.

Hey Pablo, here are the answers to your questions: 1. Yes. The unlocked version of the phone is the international version and thus should work with all SIM cards. I bought it for my cousin in Cameroon and it is working perfectly well there. 2. I bought the new phone and it came only with the charger (no extra accessories). I don't know what's included or not included in a refurbished one but certainly it should have a charger...

Good question! I just bought a refurbished one off ebay for $125. Amazon is a horrible place to find deals on electronics, such as smart phones. I strongly recommend using ebay, just make sure you buy from reputable sellers.

I only use this phone when I'm out of the country, a few weeks a year & haven't had this situation. I do know there are now so many better phones on the market @ this price, I will buy another model & junk the two A187's I have. Keep in mind phone technology moves quickly. Buying refurbished means you're already on the 2nd go 'round. I've had the A187's 2-3 years so it's way behind what's now available at what I paid for it

Depends on the seller you choose to make your purchase from. My seller, when we had trouble with our cellphone, asked us to return it (we live in the Caribbean, so it would have been too expensive for us and not worth it). I strongly suggest that you contact your seller and clarify everything first. Be very careful. I bought from a seller with a very good feedback and with lots of sales to back up that, but it turned out that our cellphone was a refurbished one, after all... Read as many feedbacks as you can; among all the great feedbacks our seller has, we found (late, of course) that there were some buyers that had the same trouble with their cellphones as us.
