Looking here:
Samsung Sway Reviews (Phone Arena)
It looks like a lot of people didn't like the performance of the phone. I have owned 2 Samsung phones in the past and had a lot of issues with one of them which prompted me to switch to an LG enV.

Reading through some of the user reviews I see a consensus of screen issues, poor call quality, and bad battery life.

Hope this helps.

LG seems to be the legit mfgr for dumbphones now...they make **** loads of 'em, and very rarely are there "serious" issues...

One of my good friends had that phone and she had SO many problems with it. She got it replaced so many times. I finally talked her into getting a bb curve. She now loves her phone and says she will never have another non bb phone. She was not into smart phones or full keyboards either until she got her curve.

yeah, it seemed like the people who did have problems with 'em, had lots of problems, otherwise there was no problem at all...

and the curve is a good phone, i liked the pearl....if they had a new suretype phone come out with more app memory and a high res screen like the tour, i'd recommend that to anyone...suretype is a great way to learn the berry
