Despite being a Budget phone (Vodaphone Store occasionally sell these new on offer at £20 off and on) for the money it is a very good phone, the only difference between the J700 and J700i is the latter can record off the phones built in radio onto the internal memory or memory card. It's a slide open phone and the slide feels solid and feels like it will last, voices are clear and easily heard over the tri band reception. Battery life is good, it will sit for days on standby before needing charged and talktime is reckoned to be 3 hours although I've never tried this out. It has an internal memory of 10MB and a slot for a Micro SD car for expanding ...  Read the complete review

I have just been given this phone in pink!! I had an old nokia 6230i which I did love and was reluctant to part with! but it seems my friends thought it a bit old as I'd had numourous people saying 'your phone's a bit old' or 'would you like me old one'. So my friend sold me this one for £20 all boxed still with everything in it and the phone was unlocked so I could use my own sim! It's quite a neat phone, I haven't used many, it's taken me a little while to get used to the different software from Nokia and from time to time I've written a whole text then deleted it by mistake because a button I must use on the Nokia actually deletes it ...  Read the complete review

SAMSUNG MOBILE PHONE SGH-J700i Stylish Slider with upgraded full features I treated myself to this phone last year as I wanted something pretty & pink! I bought it from Carphone Warehouse where the assistants were extremely helpful. It only cost £29.00!!!!!! I had to buy a £10.00 loaded SIM with it as part of the Vodafone package. I was already on Orange & didn't want to change so I just kept my original SIM for the new phone & used the Vodafone £10 SIM in an old phone. (this £10 can be made to be worth more if you choose some of the Vodafone packages for free texts etc instead of just using it for straight ...  Read the complete review

I've had this phone for over two years and it hasn't yet let me down. This isn't the type of phone that you get if you're a technology addict or into the latest gadgets - it's for people who just want a phone to be a phone and fulfil its basic requirements without hassle and reliably. Battery life and sound quality are good, and signal reception has been decent and consistent over the years. The predictive text is average but can't remember many words. Compared to my previous Nokia and Sony Ericson, I find the texting to be below par and it doesn't automatically save sent texts. The camera is a VGA with quite poor quality, but it does the job providing you ...  Read the complete review

I got my Samsung J700i as part of a package, so it wasn't an active choice on my part. But, now, I would positively try to get another one. The phone is incredibly easy to use and really robust. It sits in my handbag or back pocket most of the day and, in the 4 years I've had it, I've not had any problems. The slide feature is brilliant - no more 'pocket dialing' for me! I had been worried that the slide mechanism might make the phone too flimsy and that I would break it within 6 months, but the phone has taken everything I've managed to throw at it. The keys are very positive to use, which I like, and it's great to be able to turn the 'beeping' of the keys ...  Read the complete review
