I've always been a fan of Samsung mobile phones, having had and liked several in the past therefore after a brief hiatus from Samsung where I owned an HTC Touch HD phone I thought it was time for a change therefore my first thought inevitably was going to be to go for a much trusted Samsung phone. After doing a lot of research into new phones on the market I was briefly interested in the Nokia 5800 Xpress phone however after having a play around with it in the shop I came to the speedy conclusion that it's not all it's cracked up to be and made a quick diversion back onto the internet to look for a more suitable device for me. I seemed to be getting nowhere ...  Read the complete review

For the past few years I've taken advantage of O2's sim only contracts which offer you a one month contract with great benefits in terms of free minutes and texts at quite a reasonable price. The reason it's so reasonable is the fact that you don't get a phone which means for the past year I've had a pay as you go phone which I paid about £70 for. It's quite a good deal really but I did get a bit sick of having a basic phone when all of my friends were surfing the internet and doing all sorts of things on theirs! I finally decided to take the plunge after months of envy and commit to a contract in order to get a more functional, modern and stylish phone. I opted to ...  Read the complete review

Samsung Jet S8000 Having had my old Nokia Music Xpress 5300 for some time I recently decided I wanted a touch phone with a decent camera, and internet access, those were my basic requirements. I also wanted it to look good, sound good and be on a contract, but keep my same mobile number (was pay as you go) and I did not want to pay more than £25 per month. Not fussy at all, just know what I want....so off I trotted to the Vodaphone store to see what they could do for me....I'll just take a quick detour from the phone review to say how helpful the store staff were, another review for later methinks. Now, writing a mobile phone review it is ...  Read the complete review

I received the new Samsung Jet as part of my Vodafone contract renewal, the upgrade went something like this: "Miss Berry its Blob calling from Vodafone, your phone contract is up for renewal can I interest you in a new phone" "Erm....hi blob (shuffling of papers in the background distracted by the intricacies of the town planning system) erm yep, happy with Vodafone just renew the contract" "Well what phone would you like?" "Erm (more paper shuffling) just send me a touch screen one, I like those" "Really no preference? LG, Samsung?" "Samsung" End of call, two days later my ...  Read the complete review

This is a bit of a negative review but I thought it would be helpful to write about some of the issues I have had with my Samsung Jet GT S8000. 1. Orange filled it with so much of their branded rubbish that the phone had almost no internal memory available. I could not uninstall any of these nor could have I been able to install any new widgets (not that there are many decent ones). I installed a memory card but you need phone memory sapce for the widgets...so this never worked. The phone was advertised in the Orange shop as having all the latest media apps (Twitter, YouTube, Facebook etc) when in fact it had none and I am unable to install any of these due ...  Read the complete review
