Advantages: In call volume, touchscreen responsiveness

Disadvantages: None, it's perfect for me

I've had this phone for quite a while now and absolutely love it. I got this phone as a replacement for the Omnia (which was a joke) from vodafone, so didn't pay anything for it as part of my contract. I've had several Samsung phones over the years and this is the best yet. It is easy to use (although touch screen texting took me a little while to get used to) and does everything I could expect of it.

The camera is excellent, offering 5 megapixels and a very decent flash. The music player is no iPod but is very good. The touch screen is ultra responsive which for me is a major highlight for this phone. The menus are easy to use and navigate and some of the widgets are very handy, particularly the one which controls the sound profiles as it is quick and easy to use if you need to silence your phone in a hurry. Some of the widgets are a bit useless, and I can't work out how to use the birthdays one at all.
The internet on this phone is not the best - completely incomparable with iPhone but for looking at sites with proper mobile function such as facebook it is OK, runs fairly quickly and is easy to navigate.

The battery life is good - I charge my phone about every 4-5 days in spite of spending a lot of time using it for interent or talking. The reception is excellent also, with very good coverage.
The best thing I have found about this phone is the in call volume. I have a slight hearing problem but there is enough range in the volume for me to have no issues with this phone unlike others I have had in the past. I also find the optioinal flip front cover excellent as it has kept my screen scratch free in spite of me being a clumsy person. The phone is generally hard-wearing and reliable.

I would recommend this phone to anyone looking for a phone which is not spectacular but is functional and easy to use.
