Review: I as very put off getting this phone as I read the reviews on many different sites but I am glad I stuck to my choice now it has arrived. I just wanted to leave a review to make a point on ever bad thing I have read so far!
As you can see, all the negative reviews are very petty – half the stuff people moan about, if they had a flick through the manual it would be sorted. Many people do seem to be writing in with faulty phones though, but I seem to be lucky. But surely this is true for any technical thing really, there always seems to be a bad batch. People are singing the praises of Sony Ericsson; I had one and had to get it changed 4 times in a month due to the joystick in the middle breaking on all of them. Anyone else I have spoken to who had that phone had the same problem. So it is the same everywhere!
So if you cannot read, have fat fingers and are too tight to buy a MP3 player, this phone is not for you!
Pros: - There appears to be many people with fat fingers out there or something, I have found no problem with room on the keypad.
- People keep saying you can’t use your own tunes for incoming calls; well I managed it so it appears you are wrong!
- Some people whinge about being sick of slide phones - why bother writing a review? Just get one that isn’t?!
- People seem to go on the internet by ‘accidentally pressing the middle button’ thinking it is the menu button, why cant they just press to button with 'menu' written above it?!
Cons: - the sound is 'tinny' - can I remind you it is a
PHONE if you wanted it so badly for an MP3 player, don't be so tight and buy one as that is the point!
- Cant do long videos – go to camcorder settings & change recording mode to normal & not limit for multimedia. The camera is very good but you have to make sure your still while taking your picture otherwise it is blurry, but I have found this with ANYOTHER camera phone. The video isn't the best and could be improved as I think the video was better on my d600, but I have only tried it at night so far!
- Only 2 skin options - but the black looks that good – why change, surely the phone memory is more useful else where than on loads of skins. And anyway, the different colours on the previous Samsung phones were a waste of time
- Touch screen - yes sometimes it is unresponsive but just press it again! There are many worse things that could be wrong with it. It does cancel easily when u mean to press back in menus but you are taken back to the same point on the menu again any way
If you have had a Samsung before, a few things haven’t been improved such as ring and vibrate at same time but on this phone you can't have a song as your alarm unlike my old d600 which isn’t great but you turn your alarm off when it goes off so I don’t see the big deal. The main annoying thing is the noise it makes when you take it off silent!
Score: 8/10

Review: This phone is total rubbish and they will do everything in their power not to take it back when you complain, even kids can't use it.

Review: Nice stylish phone although the speaker is not as loud as the D600 and it's very tinney. The touch sensitive buttons can be annoying if you are in the middle of something and you accidentally touch them then you lose your message. Trying also to keep the front of the phone from looking like the kids have had their hands on it is a mare if someone wants to admire it because you have to clean all the grease marks of first. I'll stop moaning as it was bought as a present and all my friends are jealous but I agree with everything this sight has to say about the phone!!!
