Gemlike is a good way to describe the angular Samsung Gem for U.S. Cellular. The touch-screen Android smartphone is glossy like its namesake, with sharp lines and points, and it has a pentagonal design element that evokes "Superman" as much as it does...
Interesting, angular design elements give the Samsung Gem personality, and it's inexpensive.
The Gem's smaller screen makes typing errors unavoidable, and the handset feels sluggish at times.
The Samsung Gem's decent specs and enviable budget price make this reliable entry-level Android phone a fantastic value.

Do you like slow agonizing torture methods? Give this to your children! This phone will turn the user suicidal or may even get them killed in a time of need. If you're trying to dial 911 then you better hope you have 5 minutes to spare while the phone...
It doesn't break on impact of wall. The battery however falls out and you must restart phone (ET-10 minutes).
Slower than molasses

Got this phone as a freebee when I renewed my verizon contract so I wasn't too picky at first but I've come to hate this phone with a passion. I've been in countless urgent situations where I needed to contact someone, one of them being a 911 call and...

Consumer review (cnet.com)
Do not get this mixed with my Verizon provider. I was extremely impressed with how they helped me out! And they always do great! But this phone, I could have upgraded to something and had to pay $150 for it and I would have been happy! I am...
Looks great!
Looks are deceiving! Terribly sluggish. Calls don't end when pushed. Random shutdowns and sometimes doesn't start back up. External SD card doesn't work. RAM usage is ridiculous. Randomly freezes. Start time is 5 min and the shutdown is 1/2 a second.
