i just got mine about a week ago and i love it. all you have to do to lock the phone so you dont accidently call someone oi push a bytton on the top of the phone for a second. then when you want to make a call is push and hold it again. ive had a great time with it.

it’s actually a perfect phone for a girl as long as you have tiny hands, texting is a breeze. In general though Delve is almost above average type of phone

I hate my samsung delve! Its driving me crazy. This is the 3rd one already and it hasnt even been a month since I got it. Everytime I take it back to alltel they keep giving me a new one, and what happens?… the same thing! Im tired of it.. I dont recommend the samsung delve to anyone. Its a waste of money.

I have had this phone since earlier this year. I have had no problems with it. It has never frozen up and the reception has been fine. Text messages have never been a problem but I’ve only used the navigator texting program. I am, however, going to switch back to a non-internet phone as I am not finding that I am taking full advantage of it’s capabilities and don’t want to keep paying $19.95 a month for that is required. I have grown tired of it’s only being a touch screen also. I have enjoyed it while I’ve had it and will keep it as a back-up phone.

I hate it. I bought mine 6 months ago and I have had nothing but problems with this phone, just like every other samsung I’ve had. I get horrible reception. They say this is a network thing, but I don’t agree. I got awesome reception with my other phones on the same network. This one drops calls regularly, or goes in and out of reception while I’m on the phone. It locks up and shuts down frequently on it’s own. Text messages often fail when sending. Now, it will not allow me to read my text messages or send them. I get an “error while opening” message when I try opening my texts. I have only had this phone a few months, and am ready to pitch it and get a new one. I do not recommend this phone.

Yes. The phone automatically locks itself when the backlight goes out. If someone calls, it goes off so you can answer, otherwise you have to push the button on top to unlock it to use any of the features. I think you would like this phone. Touch screen, Qwerty keyboard, hand writing recognition, regular texting options, mobile browser, mobile e-mail and my navigator (GPS). Just know that you will have to pay $19.95 a month extra for all of its internet features. The downfall,texting is not included in the $19.95. It’s extra.

I am a teenage girl, and I really like the Delve but is it a good phone for me?
Is there a phone lock on it?

Please tell me more information on this phone please!

Is it possible to have emails from an Exchange (MS Outlook) server forwarded to the Delve? So far this is the only concern keeping me from buying the phone.

There is no update for this. This is how it will always be. The only solution is to set your vibration on high also and hope that you feel or hear it vibrate and then ring before it goes to voicemail. Sorry. This is about the only downfall of the phone.

I love the phone, but there is 1 problem with it and do you know if Samsung is going to fix it.with a softwere update

the ring volume starts out very low, then starts to rise in volume. My volume is set to the highest setting. but by the time I hear the phone ringing, it goes to voice mail. No matter what ring tone I use. I use tone room, and have spent a lot of money trying to find a ring tone that I can here, what good in ring volume if it doesn’t work, This also does this for the alarm clock setting, I have missed my wake up times due to this volume issue. I now use my work phone which is a Razor. I really like my Delva. JUST FIX THE VOLUME PROBLEM

Wow, no postings since 8/24. Let me start it up again. I’m being rather lazy, not wanting to search through all of our pages but is there a way to get a gif format to work on the Delve? Any help would be appreciated.

Im a teenage girl who wants a delve is this a good phone for me?

By: Zach

Yes I have this exact same problem. My Delve will freeze for about 5 seconds every 3 minutes or so. It does this on any application in my phone, but I’m not sure why. I’d take it in, but I’m sure Verizon/Alltel would just try to trade it in for a new phone, which I’d rather not do.

there is a lock button on the phone, and on the top so it won’t unlock in your pocket and dial numbers or anything.

Crash20-
As far as the text messaging goes, if I do have a text in my box that says ok from someone and then like 3 days later we text and they say the same thing, it does say duplicate message but the icon goes away as soon as i check it just like a normal message.

Unlocking the phone, i’ve had the phone since Nov. 4th, and I just find the happy medium on holding the button for like 2-3 seconds and then let go, and it’s unlocked. No double clicking or anything just hold it for a couple seconds and let go and unlocks just fine.

I have had my phone turn on when i try to unlock it, so yes i have had the same problem where the phone just randomly turns off and you go to check it and it turns on. Now im not sure if it is off for a long time or not…but I think it just like shuts off and turns right back on at that point so it’s not like your missing calls (atleast I haven’t had any problems for missing calls due to it)

I have never tried to download the opera mini mobile browser. So i’m not sure if you can on the delve or not, or if you can where it would be stored to in otherwords.

Hope that kind of explains and tells you some details I’ve had, any questions just ask I’ll try to help anyway I can. Thanks.

Hey guys,
I’ve had the Delve since last Thanksgiving, and so far it’s been great…except with a couple minor exceptions.

One of the problems i have with the phone is that when somone texts me the same thing that they have recently texted me, like a smiley face, then the phone thinks that it’s a duplicate message, and the NEW MESSAGE icon at the top of the phone stays there forever unless i erase ALL of the text messages in my inbox. Has anyone else had a problem with this?

Another problem I’d like to address is when i have difficulty unlocking the phone. Sometimes when i try double clicking on the power button, it just goes to the screen saver, and then back to darkness, over and over. So i have to hold down the power button for a long time, and sometimes it just turns off the phone entirely which is quite troublesome.

Thats another thing! I dont know about the rest of you guys, but sometimes I go to unlock my phone, but then when i hold the power button to unlock it, the phone turns on! So the phone was turned off the entire time, even though I didn’t turn it off at all. It’s like it turned off by itself.

With all that said, my most recent attempt at tryin to make the phone better was to download the opera mini mobile browser. It seemed to download alright, but I cant find a way to actually use the opera mini mobile browser. The website says to look through folders in the phone, but what folders are there in the Samsung Delve? And how would I access them?

If anyone can bring light to any of the problems above, or if you are at least suffering from some of the same problems as I am, please leave a comment so that I would at least know that I’m not the only one.

Thanks

okay; to put the phone on vibrate for text messages, you go to settings-sound setting-volume-and go to messages volume- then set it to silence. then go to master volume and set it to vibrate only. then it will automatically make the messages go on vibrate only .

I need to disable the EvDO on my phone as I did a *228 update to my phone and now I can not go to my browser, use my GPS, download Pic messages, or look into easyedge. Any idea on how to get this feature disabled? I can not find Debug mode codes for the Delve anywhere. I have US Cellular.

Hi,I just wanted to thank you all for letting me know wheather or notthe Delve is a smart phone.I just wish my carrier”Alltel” could see that same thing.I even called Samsung and they verified that it is NOT a smart phone, yet Alltel made me change my plan to one that is for a smart phone! I have had service with Alltel since 1999 and have been very satisfied, however, living on Disabality(the phone was a gift from my son)and the so called “Alltel Anytime Plan change(which i had no problems with till the Virizon merger started) I just feel like I’m getting ripped off ya know.They say it’s because it has the “full html web browswer” but yet it is very slow to get online and I can’t click on links.I’m hoping that on July 12th when it will all be Virizon, that I will be able to get them to work with me.I even offered to send the $200.00 Delve back and get a 99 cent Blackberry and they would not even do that.I am just very frustrated.Sorry for all the venting.I also noticed that the Delve that US Cellular is getting, the Apps all look different than the one that I have.Not sure if it’s a different more upgraded version or what.Anyway, I do love the phone, it is really awesome, but I will be so very glad when I can get a true “Smart Phone” since I’m having to pay for a plan for one.Hope all of you have a wonderful day,Corine
