Customer Reviews

A great competitor to the iphone...and on pay as you go...
Before getting this phone i had several worries, mainly the touch screen and texting. However having owned the phone for a day i already feel confident with the texting and can text faster then on my old phone, a normal motorola slider. And the touch screen works fine, no worries on that front.

The camera is slower then what i expected but this is to take into account its 5 megapixel quality. However the patience required can be testing, especially if you want an immediate picture.

The mp3 feature is great and has plenty of memory to make this a competent back up to losing an ipod etc.

Finally the phone has plenty of other features to make it a competent package, like an FM radio, though i do feel the widgets are a bit pointless and could have been more interesting. Also a big problem is you can't send mass messages to more then 10 people at a time. This can make sending your new number etc to your contacts a long and boring task.

Overall though it's a great phone and you will not be dissapointed, and it's look are sure to attract attention. What i believe makes this better then the iphone is the fact it can be bought unlocked and needs not a contract, unlike o2's monopoly of the iphone with over-the-top prices.

Not as good as the hype suggests.
I've had this phone now for around 4 months. Its been thoroughly road tested.
Good Points -
Sound Quality is tremendous for both MP3's & voice conversations
Touch screen has just about the right level of sensitivity & the haptic feedback is cool.
The radio has great reception
The phone is very intuitive - you'll be through the menu's in no time.
The camera is actually very good - its claim to 5mp has been doubted because when you view the pictures you've taken on the camera they look rubbish. transfer them to your computer though and they're fine.

Bad Points -
For a phone with such a good camera the ability to edit photo's on the phone is very limited.
There are no games (at the moment) designed specifically for the phone. All you get now is an arrow pad cutting off 1/2 an inch at the bottom of the screen.
Compatibility - I've found it won't open certain file types that it should (eg i have 2 jpegs. It will open one & say 'unsupported file format' for the other)
Limited Customisation - Sure you can change the wallpaper & Ringtones but you cannot change your screen saver & you can choose from two colour schemes.
Widgets - The widgets are cool, i'll give you that but you can only use widgets samsung allow you to. It would be nice to pick other shortcuts or even other applications a la iphone.

This review doesn't cover everything, just my major gripes & pleasures.
I'd say if you want a phone that looks great and sounds great - go for this.
If your looking for an equivalent to an iphone, then dont bother. Its not worth the money due to lack of toys & customisation.

Smart, stylish but is it any good?
I went to upgrade my phone with no particular phone in mind. I saw this phone and thought wow this is nice. I was a little apprehensive about the touch screen but thought I would give it try. ~I chose this over the iphone as it has more features. I've now had this phone for 2 weeks.

Touch screen is fine; reactiveness more or less precise. There have been a few periods of delay/non-responsiveness but nothing concerning and my patience intact.

If you have big fingers, you will most likely struggle particularly for text messages. I have petite hands and occasionally I do miss keys.

Battery life on standby is fine, otherwise very weak, especially if you are comparing to Sony Ericsson. The distance between one bar and low battery is extremely fine. When battery life is on one bar expect it to die soon and when it is low expect it to die within minutes.

The camera is excellent; 5 mega, anti-shake, auto-flash, lots of features, more important great picture clarity. A little delay been taking picture and capture; this is to enable the auto-focus function to work.

The MP3 looks good but I haven't used it.

Phone has radio, converter, world clock, music recognition and the usual functions provided by most phones.

As said and done, the phone is beautiful, small, compact, slim, its just a shame about the battery. If not for the battery I would give this phone a 4 star. However, if I could I would give this 2 1/2.
