Great Debut Album
Not many groups can come out with an awesome debut album, but Danity Kane's self-titled debut album came out with a bang. Sure there are 3 songs that I do not like, but it beats out O-Town and Eden's Crush debut albums. This album has the potential to have many great singles. "Ride For You" is the second single and is like MC's "We Belong Together" in that it will probably be their biggest single and more widestream than their first single "Showstopper". My only disappoint is that they should have made the "Come Over Interlude" into a full song.
I wish people would stop comparing them to the Pussycat Dolls but it's understandable. DK does not have a lead singer; they ALL have singing parts whereas PCD have only one lead singer in a group of 6 soon to be 7. They are far better dancers, and I hope they release "Heartbreaker" as a single so they can shoot a video showcasing their dance skills.
Not many new artists come right out of the bat in working with top-notch producers, and this album has far exceeded my expectations. This review is actually a 4.7, but it's close to a 5. And, I rarely give out high reviews. Buy it. You won't be disappointed.

Good enough
4 of 4 found this helpful I upgraded from my Motorola V180 to this camera phone because I upgraded my plan to have the myfaves feature. My review is a little comparison to my old phone considering this is my first Samsung phone.
Appearance- Thin and lightweight. Keypad is big and easy to press. You won't be able to change menu screen.
Battery- It charges quickly, but it also drains quickly. Maybe it's because it's due to me playing around with the camera.
Call Quality- Clear calls.
Camera/Video- My first camera phone, and I have to say that it's pretty decent. I still have to figure out all the camera settings. When I transferred them to my computer it came out a little dark. Not too sure if this happens to all camera phones. There is no flash, but you can use the nighttime mode. Video playback is decent too.
Games- There are four games. Forgotten Warrior, Freekick, Arch Angel, and Midnight Pool. I don't use them.
LCD- Very bright screen. Light will dim and turn off after a minute of idle time. Outter screen light will not be on when phone is closed. If you want to see the time without opening the phone, you need to press one of the side volume buttons for 2 seconds.
Music/Video player- I don't use it, but there is one downloaded video that came with it. It doesn't have a memory card slot so I don't think you'd be able to save a lot of files if you're into that kind of stuff.
Phonebook- Customized ringtones for callers must be saved to phone. A number that is saved to phone and SIM will have double entries. Lots of extra spaces to put email address, work #, picture ID, etc. under one name.
Sounds- Vibration and silence mode can be turned on by pressing just one button. My old phones used to ring and vibrate at the same time whereas this pyhone will only vibrate first and then ring. Speakerphone is soft though, and you have to click twice just to turn it on.
TXT/IM- I hate using T9 form, and unfortunately it's the default setting and you won't be able to change it. It's very tedious to make 3 clicks to put it in normal mode everytime I create a message.
Voice Dial- I do not use it.
Other- Downloading files is very quick. Sometimes there is too many clicks just to do a task like deleting a file or message. Transferring personal made ringtones from computer to phone can only be saved as an alarm tone. It was also disappointing that I had to buy more ringtones and games for my phone as the SIM did not transfer my files from my old phone. It has a stopwatch, timer, unit conversion, and tip calculater that my other phones lacked. You can set the calendar on the front of the screen if you want to.
If you like a basic camera phone, then this is good for you. To me the pros outweighs the cons so I'll be sticking with it.
