Advantages: Stylish slide phone

Disadvantages: Battery life

My husband purchased me this phone for £60. I must say I do like the samsung phones. This one is slimline and sleek and fits into handbag very nicely. It is available in silver and black. Its a slide style phone with some of the buttons on the outside and the number pad is seen when the slide is open.

+++Description of features+++

Mp3 player has only got 12mb memory but a seperate memory card can be inserted in side of the phone instead of under sim so no need to remove sim card to insert memory card. You can purchase various sizes in mbs. I have 128mb which was purchased seperately. Any song sstored on MP3 can be used as ringtone as well. You can also allocate ringtones for your contacts so you can id them by ringtone.

Camera is very clear and easy to use was very surprised at quality of photos only downside is you dont get USB cable with phone so you have to purchase it if you want to upload photos,video to computer. Also the camera is cleverly hidden beneath the slide too, so that the lens will be protected against dust and scratches. Next to the camera lens there is a mirror (as the camera is on the back of the phone) that I thought would make self-taken photos easier and more accurate. Using the camera is quite straightforward, with point and shoot, ready to use setup. The large screen works as an excellent viewfinder.

Video. This works pretty much the same way as the camera function although I find that it needs to be held still or the picture can go slightly jumpy and has a slight delay in it.


FM Radio is very clear and easy to tune in. The phone does come with headphones and you can store up to 30 stations on this phone. Have tuned in 8 up to now and they are all very clear.
This phone also comes with bluetooth, voice recorder,java.
The ringtones are polyphonic but only has 10 melodies installed on it. But then must people download there own type of music. Wallpapers there only 6 but they are very clear also. Volume button on side to increase/decrease sound as required.

Java world.
There were 3 games pre-installed on the phone when I got it, but they are all just limited demos that need unlocked by purchasing the game which was a little disappointing. Not like most phones at least other phones you do get full games.

This phone is very easy to use, sleek,slim and for £60 not a bad buy for money. Battery power doesn't last long if you play MP3,games,radio. Have to charge approx every 2-3 days. Value-wise, I would say that this is a really good buy. Yes there are many phones out there with far better spec, some look a lot better too, but at this price range it would be hard to beat.
