I FINALYY GOT IT! The killer Samsung Matrix phone!

[phmmiracles]

i can\'t believe i finally got my hands on one! I’ve been drooling over this phone since matrix

reloaded and i ****ing love this phone to death....i just received it this morning in the mail and i\'ve been

messing around with the functions, ring tones, voice commands and wearing out the pop-up ear piece…hehe I read as

many articles and reviews as I could find on the SPH-027N, such as phone scoop or CNET b4 finally deciding to shell

out the insanely expensive cash for this baby. and let me tell u, IT IS worth it…drool… :-P

I remember a

couple of the review articles mentioned that the matrix phone feels like a toy rather than a real phone, till they

pop open the ear piece and see the huge and crystal clear lcd screen. and that the auto slide feature is kind of

wobbly and feels like it might break. I have to totally disagree, I have a feeling the people who wrote those

reviews were describing the prop toy phone that came with the matrix press kits that’s floating all over ebay. The

matrix phone in my hands feels very tight and extremely well made. It does NOT feel like a toy AT ALL. The pop up

ear piece with the intenna is very sturdy and precisely engineered. All the keypads lights up green matrix style

when the screen is exposed and u get to have ur pick of screen savers between animatrix and reloaded. (sadly no

Revolution pics or ringtones) and the SPH-027N is actually a bit on the heavy side, unlike the aluminum nokia

phones. Probably due to the large lcd screen and the battery and the metal intenna. On the top of the popup is the

serial batch number. Mine is 466 out of the 10,000. I read somewhere batch 00001 was auctioned off on ebay for

like $2500 or something…. Don’t know if it’s true or not. But a matrix phone won’t go for any less than a $1000 as

of now IMO.

My biggest beef with my beloved Samsung matrix phone though is that it’s cdma and not tdma or

gsm, which means no sim cards and I can’t switch phones when I feel like it. This is a precious collectors item and

I shouldn’t be using it on a daily basis. it’s bound to get scratched or dinged, given enough time. and im not sure

if it can even be unlocked like the other phones cuz my contract with cingular isn’t finished yet and the matrix

phone only works with sprint pcs. i know this phone hasn\'t been released in UK or europe but maybe there\'s

someone who is familiar enough with the cell phone industry that can help me out? I’d really like to learn how to

unlock it.

well anyways, here r some pics for ur enjoyment (and me showing off my kickass phone hehe)

batch 00466!


Actually, I was able to get my hands on the matrix phone purely by

blind dumb luck. Im sure this sounds a little far-fetched but the story’s too amazing to pass up. I actually

bought this phone brand-new-factory-sealed-in-box from a seller on ebay named Alen Kevorkian…the last name sounded a

little familiar to me, till he mentioned that he’s the brother of Melina Kevorkian, co. producer of the

matrix/revisited/reloaded, Gothika, Cradle to the grave, Exit wounds…etc. of course I have no way of proving either

way. But it’s just a pretty unbelievable and coincidental anecdote I can brag to my gf and friends about. Hehe :-P



I’ll have to go to sprint and see if they will let me switch between 2 phones…highly unlikely but fingers

crossed anyways.

feel free to drool over the pictures..hehehehe (evil grin)

*PS* my rebuttal to all

OMG-does-the-phone-come-with-a-nail-filer jokes is that yes im a guy and no that\'s not my gf holding the phone

but im already considering a sex change operation so i might even have to sell my matrix phone to raise some moola

\"Did the phone come with sunglasses? \"

sadly no, the sunglass r by Blinde and costs

$240 on WB\'s official site. im trying to buy one off the co.producer\'s bro(who sold me the phone)hopefully

for a much cheaper price...since he gets everything for free and all...not to mention the lucky SOB gets to go to

all the premiers and after parties...hehe [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

i just realized that maturity level of the average users on lovescent is pretty high. judging

from the fact that the insults...i mean jokes r like 1/10 of the amount my thread received on other forums.

i wonder what the age distribution is for all the registered
