Advantages: Attractive settings and functions

Disadvantages: Quality of phone has severely deteriorated in one year

I have had this phone for just over one year now and although I was pleased at first with functions etc, I am less impressed with its durability. The interface is very nice, particularly the touch-screen function, and there are lots of choices for settings and appearance. However I am yet to find a ringtone which isn't annoying, so constantly have it on vibrate only which is not ideal. I had hoped that this phone would have the vivid text feature some other Samsung models have, but it lacks this, which is a shame. Over the last couple of months, the phone has started to show definite signs of wear and tear - it turns itself off quite a lot and one of the buttons sometimes doesn't work. So overall this hasn't been a winner for me - it was my first samsung and suspect I will be returning to Nokia next time!

Summary: Nice phone to use overall, but needs upgrading after one year only
