Customer Reviews

Is this just a flip phone version of the Samsung D500?
To cut the story short, the assumption that this phone is basically a flip phone version of the D500 is largely true, except for a few minor differences:

1) The E720, alothough it has quite a large memory of 88mb, is not as much as the samsung d500's (about 7mb more, good enough for an extra 2 mp3 songs).
2) File transfer via bluetooth seems to be much slower for some reason than the d500 was.
3) This has a 1.0 MP Camera, the D500 has a 1.3 MP Camera
4) Doesnt have memo on it

Apart from these, the E720 has the rest of the excellent features that the D500 has, including Integrated MP3 player (slightly better than the D500'S), good picture quality and camcorder recording, easy to use menu systems, Video playback and a lot of other stuff that one may want like Calendar, calculator, world clock etc. One way that this phone is btter than the D500 is the external controls for the MP3 player which makes it easier to use.

However, i have only given this phone 4 stars becuase of the confusion i had about charging the phone. With most other phones, when you plug the phone in, the battery indicator on the phone usually shows if the phone is charging or the progress of the charging. NOT ON THIS PHONE HOWEVER!!! This phone has a light on the charger itself that is red when you plug it into the phone then turns green once charging is complete. My problem is not with this however, it is the fact that the orange manual does not say that this indicates charging progress, and i had to spend my time mucking around thinking that the phone was not charging therefore nearly sending the phone back before i realised that this was the case. I discovered this only after i downloaded a non orange edited user guide from samsung themselves. This was really annoying!
I highly recommend this phone, it is brilliant, but i would do the same as what i did and download the proper unedited samsung e720 manual instead of relying on the useless orange edited user manual!

The best phone I've ever had!
7 months ago I bought the Samsung e720 for my daughters 16th birthday. She was ecstatic, and kept going on at me at how brilliant it was, so I decided to get it for myself.
It was the best decision phone-wise I've ever made. It is a fantastic phone, with so many special features. The colour display screen is one of the best I've ever seen, with a fantastic range of colours, and it is very clear from whatever angle you look at it. The only slight thing is that it is a little harder to see the screen in daylight, but it is always illuminated. The video capture and camera are also top class, being clear, easy to use and with lots of storage space. The phone clicks open smoothly and easily, and is easy to open with one hand. It has so many brilliant features, and it is really stylish too. Slightly futuristic by appearance, but very pleasing to look at. It is also very comfortable to use. Fantastic phone! Buy it now! Buy it!

best phone i have ever owned!!!
when i got the samsung i was amazed how quickly it charged up from an empty battery.

i was thinking about getting the sony ericsson k750i, but my dad has it and says it is not very good, he prefers my phone. the keys are so easy to push down and you can customize alomst every noise you want the phone to make while you are doing things. the looks are very good as well, probably one of the best looking phones on the market i think.

the battery life is not to good, it says you can get 200 hours out of it, but i seem to only get 150, dont know why that is.

the phones memory is incredible, it can hold over 80 megabites of music and have enough space for a few photos, which are top quality, the megapixel camera is great for picures.

i think you should get this phone.
