    Comments about Samsung® Illusion No-Contract Phone for Verizon®:

    As an entry-level prepaid Smartphone, the Samsung Illusion does the job well. Running on 2.3.5 Gingerbread and sporting a 1GHz processor, the Illusion does most tasks pretty well and fast. It lacks a front-facing camera. Battery life is fair, but can be greatly improved by turning off mobile data, WiFi and GPS when out and about (you can still make calls and text with mobile data off)... I did so and the phone lasted all day and still didn't dip below 70% battery remaining as I only tend to use apps and stuff at home. The Illusion is lightweight and the Verizon network makes this phone a winner.

      This is my first smart phone, and I love it! A couple of my relatives have iPhones, and the Samsung Illusion (or any Samsung smart phone it seems) has better features, is much easier to use, has a better battery life, is more durable, and more affordable. I always trust Samsung.

        Love the phone other than the bad battery life (you have to charge it every night). Other than that the keypad for texting is alittle awkward but not terrible. Everything else is great. Overall very good phone so far (I have had it for 3 weeks).
