Advantages: Good sound quality for MP3's

Disadvantages: Poor battery life, not much memory on the phone, keys dont respond very well.

When I first bought this phone I was pretty pleased with it. It looks nice and has all of the features that you would expect with a modern mobile phone (camera, mp3, internet connection, ect) however after having it for a few months I have started to notice many things which annoy me about it. It didn't take long for some of the keys (most noticibly the wheel) to become worn and stop working properly, making using the menus a bit of a nightmare. The memory on the phone is also a bit of a nightmare. Whilst you can store lots on the memory card that came with the phone (I think I have about 10 full mp3 albums plus lots of pictures) the memory on the actual phone itself is pretty poor. You can only store about one picture (you need to store the picture on the phone memory if you want it as a wallpaper or contact picture) and one mp3 track (which means you can't have one of your songs as a message tone and one as a ringtone.) This situation would be helped a lot of you could delete the ringtones that come with the phone (which are all pretty poor), but unfortuantly your stuck with them as they are all locked. Despite this the camera is of average quality and the sound when making a call leaves a lot to be desired. The phone doesn't come with any built in games although you can download them for a small cost. The battery life is also pretty poor and doing anything like listening to music or making phone calls really drains it quickly. Overall the phone is ok, but I won't be keeping it when my contract expires and will instead by trading it in for a new one. Dissapointing considering most Samsungs I have had have been better quality.

Summary: Average phones, must be much better ones on the market.
