Probably so.
I have the Samsung Intensity (first version) and for me, it works great. I only use it for texting, making calls, and taking pictures (mostly for use as phone wallpapers, but they're not bad), and also sometimes I make notes on it and use the calculator function, but yeah those are pretty basic. And alarm clock.
I didn't pick it out, but I've had no issues with it whatsoever and it's good for me.
My mom, however, got the same phone and hers began malfunctioning. It'd turn itself off for seemingly no reason, sometimes even in the middle of calls. Sooo I dunno what's up with that.
