The Samsung Strive will keep me cool, calm and collected by eing a nice looking phone that takes great photos, has easy email sharing, and is a breeze to use for this old grandma who is still using the same phone that came with her plan years ago.

The Samsung Strive would help me with the text messages because right now, it takes me forever to type in the message. My daughter would probably borrow my phone and use it all the time. It looks so easy to use just like your video says. I think it could really help my family out by all the features and the bigger screen for my viewing of everything.

I have an old pay-as-you-go phone right now and would so love to have a “smart” phone that could keep me calm, cool and connected to my family and friends. Right now my current phone gives me so much grief that I need something as slick as the Strive to keep me calm!
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!!!

The Samsung Strive would keep me cool, calm, and coleected by getting my friends off my back who crack a million jokes about the “Zach Morris brick phone” I have been using!

Anyone with a teen knows how easy it can be to NOT be Calm, Cool and Connected, but the Samsung Strive would make it easier by making my daughter happy, because she LOVES this phone and it would be for her. Happy teen, at least momentarily, makes for a Calm, Cool, Connected me.

Samsung Strive would keep me calm, cool, and collected by keeping me up to date with one of the newest and best phones I have seen in a while. Also,… it has a large screen for me to see since everything has been getting smaller these last few years!

My daughter has been begging me to join her AT&T plan and this phone looks nice and then I could be calm, cool, and connected to my family! My old pay-as-you-go phone is sooo out of date. AT&T sounds like a great cell phone company and this Samsung slider looks somewhat easy and not too high tech.

The Samsung Strive will keep me cool calm and connected to all my family and friends who know we are locked on a land line without a cell phone yet. It will help me stay in touch online, with photos too, and I won’t miss postings or important connections anymore.

The Strive would be a life-saver for me! It’s feature rich and good looking. I have an older RAZR right now and a piece of the case over the hinge just popped off. I really like my RAZR and use the heck out of it for both business and pleasure. Looks to me like the Strive might be just what I need (but can’t afford) to replace it.

The Samsung Strive will keep me Calm, Cool and connected by allowing me to have full access to all that is important. Family, Friends, Work. With the Samsung Strive having 3G I can connect to all the Social Networking I need and rely on daily. Text, chat and stay up to date with news, events, and email!
It would help me keep my sanity & stay Calm, Cool & Connected!

What a great tool to keep me calm, cool and connected. I am still using a flip phone (if you can believe it!) and am in desperate need to upgrade. The Strive looks like just the thing to get me up to speed and current!
Johnnie Davis says:
May 27, 2010 at 9:37 am
WOW! This would be a really great phone for me . . . I could impress my grandchildren with how cool,savvy and up-to-date their Mimi can be with the “Strive”! ! !
Thanks for the opportunity to apply!

The Samsung Strive will help keep me calm: by having a phone with a keep board that will keep my fingertips on the keyboard and not slipping away like other smartphones (that are aggravating).
It will keep me COOL: because it is just that COOL! Also, it is a smartphone and can do many things, while remaining it’s calm status.
It will keep me CONNECTED: Go Phone GO!!! It can connect to the Internet, Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, email, and texting. All the things I need. I will be totally connected to my daily fun activities that a phone should have.
Samsung Strive is Calm Cool & Connected

The Samsung strive will help me stay calm, cool and connected because it may give me better signal then I got know. I get the worst signal omg some times I wanna throw my phone… SO if I win you might need to leave a voicemail. LOL
Kendra says:
May 28, 2010 at 5:38 pm
This phone will keep my calm because it seems easy to use. I hate my husband’s blackberry. I get frustated every time I try to use it to search the web. This phone looks really cool. I love the slider and full keyboard. I’m cool with that. With this reliable phone I can always be connected.
Andrea H says:
May 28, 2010 at 9:18 pm
The Samsung Strive will help me keep calm cool and connected because I will be able to manage my email while on the go. My current phone is old and needs replaced so having a new phone would also keep me calm cool and connected!

The Samsung Strive will keep me calm, cool, and collected by making all my calling, texting, and video options easier in my very hectic, oh so connected life. Oh boy do I need help!
Barbara says:
June 10, 2010 at 5:33 am
Having a phone that I could text on would be awesome. Being able to keep “in touch” when away from my computer would definitely help me feel calm, cool and connected. Thanks!
Donna B. says:
June 10, 2010 at 10:29 am
The Samsung Strive will keep me calm, cool, and collected by allowing me to keep in touch with family and friends using not only the phone, but also text, video and email. The Slide-out QWERTY keyboard will make text/email a breeze, and the 3G network means I’ll have super-fast coverage wherever I happen to be
Not to mention, I just happen to be an existing AT&T wireless customer, so I know activating this great phone will be a hassle-free experience for me.

I am presently on my children’s account, this would help this Nana have her own account so she can be calm cool and connected with both her children, grandchildren AND the outside world! ~ Anne
Megan says:

The Samsung Strive would certainly keep me cool and calm with the full QWERTY keyboard. There are few things as annoying as the typos that come from not pushing the buttons enough times on the old-style keypads. And as far as connected, I’d be able to email and surf (even YouTube!) on the go. Our AT&T network is awesome here!

This summer as well as Father’s Day the Strive will not keep me cool calm and collected by its self but it will play a huge part in make memories and instant moments that will in the future make us as a Family #coolcalmcollected. What a grand prize to have for Dad.
Thanks for the chance at one, otherwise no other way to get one for Pops. Can’t wait to use it.

The Samsung strive would keep me calm, cool and collected because it looks like it is stress free – easy to use but still cool-looking/pretty and fun! It’d be so easy to keep up with my social networking stuff, email and photos with a cool phone like this!
@Mandie says:
June 11, 2010 at 3:18 pm
Hmm I would def be calm, cool and connected if I had a phone that had no cracked screen, all of the keys not scratched off and all the keys actually worked. My phone has for sure seen better days and I am more than shocked that this thing still works! Thanks for the contest.
Teresa says:
June 11, 2010 at 4:20 pm
The Samsung Strive would allow me to send text messages without having to squint and repeatedly punch buttons on my flip phone because of it’s keyboard.
Jean says:
June 11, 2010 at 6:35 pm
The Samsung Strive will help me keep calm cool and connected because it’s got a roomy keyboard for easy texting and it’s powered by the greatest network in the world!
Petula says:

It will keep me calm, cool and connected because I’ll be so up-to-date that I won’t stress out I’m missing something and I’ll be able to do a lot on the go.
Dana Valle says:
June 11, 2010 at 6:59 pm
This would help me keep up with my social networking. I have a blog, twitter, and FB account. It would also help me keep up with my kids 9 and 2 and my hubby who works really hard to support us!
Loraine says:
June 11, 2010 at 6:59 pm
This would keep me calm, cool and connected because my cell phone is the most important communication device! This phone would allow me to keep up to date on my emails, text messages and the internet! The keyboard is definitely a plus for me because I text and twitter ALL day!

Anything that is great for texting and surfing the net will keep me #CalmCoolConnected
Mike says:
June 11, 2010 at 7:13 pm
The phone will help my wife stay cool, calm and connected as her current AT&T phone does not allow texting which she is now exploring. It will also have a better screen for important messages and calls.
Jessica says:
June 11, 2010 at 7:14 pm
The Samsung Strive will help me stay Calm, Cool and Connected because it will allow me to easily stay in touch with my family and loved ones via text and phone.

This phone will keep me cool calm and collected because I have a non smart phone Nokia right now. That makes me feel uncool uncalm and uncollected. Thanks for running this giveaway.

I would actually like to win this for my mom. I think it would help keep her cool calm and collected because she would be able to receive picture and video messages from us with the kids. Since she lives all the way on the other side of the country, I know that it would make her very happy.
Tonja says:
June 11, 2010 at 7:18 pm
Would love to win this for DH. He’s using an old phone that doens’t have any special features — just makes calls.
Gail says:
June 11, 2010 at 7:19 pm
The Samsung Strive will help me keep calm cool and connected because I can stay connected to friends, family twitter, facebook and youtube! Freedom of mobility is cool! And it looks simple to use!

This phone will keep me call cool and connected because my toddler flushed my other cell today. Sigh…@sethandshannon1
Donna C. says:

The Samsung Strive will help me keep calm cool and connected by replacing my non smart phone. Than I would be able to chat text send photos etc to my family who all have smart phones

This phone would keep me cool calm and collected by helping me stay in contact with my family on the opposite coast! Plus it could help me stay more organized in my day to day chaos!
Heather Ransom says:
June 11, 2010 at 7:59 pm
This phone will keep me cool calm and collected by allowing me to have a reliable phone and give me a QWERTY keyboard to use. Right now my phone is on its last leg and seems to work when it feels like it. Makes me really nervous if there is an emergency! I like the look of the Samsung Strive and it looks like it is a better quality than the one I have now!
Niurka says:
June 11, 2010 at 8:00 pm
It will help me stay cool and calm because its a nice phone that can help me organize my appointments, phone numbers and I wont have to worry about having a prepaid phone whose minutes are always running out.
Janice says:
June 11, 2010 at 8:01 pm
It will keep me cool, calm, and collected because unfortunately for me, I was not born with a built-in compass. I get lost SO easily. Also I would be able to better keep in touch with my friends since they want to text me, but I don’t have text messaging. And sending photos would be awesome.
Cheryl B. says:
June 11, 2010 at 8:02 pm
This phone would keep me calm, cool and collected by allowing me to finally be the “cool kid” with the “cool phone” It would “calm of fears” of missing important meetings.
And allow me to be “collected” knowing I have everything I need in a phone with the Samsung Strive!
Dianne Brubaker says:
June 11, 2010 at 8:04 pm
The Samsung Strive will help me stay calm, cool, and collected because I will give it to my husband! He has a fairly long commute and I would feel better if he had a way to get in touch with me if he hits another deer (he’s hit 2 already!) And it would help ME when he decides to golf after work….I would know to not keep dinner waiting on him! He could call home whenever he needs to AND I would have a way to get in touch with him, if I needed him to stop at the hardware store to pick up supplies for another one of my ‘projects’.
This phone would be a great way to keep me calm, cool and collected! It would only be better at that if it had a fan!
Amanda D says:
June 11, 2010 at 8:05 pm
I’ve never had a cell phone (The shock! The horror!) but I’m currently in the market for one. So many choices and features, it’s overwhelming. Winning would eliminate all that stress and keep me calm, cool & connected with what seems to be a truly awesome phone. Thanks for the chance!

This phone would be the best gift I could give my husband as my Iphone is very smart and his phone is not at all.
Jertaybro says:
June 11, 2010 at 8:08 pm
I forgot to add my number on the earlier post.

Pwag says:
June 11, 2010 at 8:17 pm
Oh man, a web enabled phone would let me the techno-whiz bang firecracker hip guy of a dad my kids want me to be. Plus the idea that I have a “dumb” phone sorta embarrasses the heck out of me now that I see how badarse the smart phones are!
Grocery lists, coupon hunting, ebaying, twittering! I’d be a superhero with the Strive! I seriously might be compelled to get a cape if I owned a Strive and then I’d have to refer to everyone else as “citizen” FEAR NOT CITIZEN!
Charlene says:
June 11, 2010 at 8:30 pm
Oh my goodness, I have been wanting this phone. I have an old razor flip phone and would LOVE an upgrade to something more cool. It would be so much nicer to text and check my email. Thanks for the chance to win.

helenlam says:
June 11, 2010 at 9:11 pm
It will help keep me calm, cool and connected because it has a full keyboard. I also like the slider style and that there are still some buttons on the front for web use without needing the full keyboard!
Lisa C says:
June 11, 2010 at 11:16 pm
The Strive would help keep me calm, cool & connected because I could stay in touch with my kids while I work at night – via text, email, social media, or just plain old calls. It would relieve a lot of anxiety about not being with them at night.
Carolyn G says:
June 13, 2010 at 1:44 pm
The Strive will keep me calm cool and collected because I have a long drive home and sometimes i worry about being able to contact hubby if somthing happens. Knowing I have this fantastic phone will keep me happy and calm. Love it.
Cecilia says:
June 14, 2010 at 1:44 am
Well, it would definately keep me cool and calm. Since I would give this to my out of state daughter. You see, she dropped her brand new AT&T phone in the toilet. Totally serious… Anyways, it has not held a charge long enough ever since then. And I find it difficult to get a hold of her. Winning this phone would assure me getting a hold of her. Which as any mother knows, keeps us calm. LOL… And the phone is totally stylish. So my daughter will be way kewl too.
Judy says:
