Samsung E720

For me, the Samsung E720 was something of a step in mobile phone history. Up until I obtained this handset, I'd always been a stalwart of Nokia and never really believed that I would convert to anything else. But times change and whilst Samsung and Motorola are designing genuinely attractive handsets, Nokia seems to have released one weird and unattractive phone after another. So, sorry Nokia - it's time to move on. The E720 is currently one of ...
...Most service providers are giving these handsets away when you set up a new connection and unlike many other handsets, this seems to apply on even the most basic of tariffs. A fairly extensive advertising campaign across the UK has also ensured that the phone is quite familiar with (even if not particularly admired by) the phone-buying public.  Look And Feel  Personally, I suppose the most "instant" appeal for this handset was the ...

Review of Samsung E720

...I ended up getting the Samsung E720 as the latest phone for my mobile telecommunications needs. * Style * Building on the uber-success of the Samsung E700 which was released back in late 2003 the E720 stays with the popular clamshell design with the aerial hidden inside of the phone rather than sticking out and into your leg when you've got it in your pocket. Colour wise the one I ended up with is in a black style with a silver outline to it, and ...
...a big flaw in the Samsung line of phone's for a long time - the lack of bluetooth, it meant that a lot of other phone manufacturer's gained a lot of followers and Samsung were seen as second-rate, however in this range of phone's its been introduced, and as with any other phone that has Bluetooth it means that you can now transfer information between many devices such as other phones, your computer, certain printers and your digital camera. This ...

Review of Samsung E720

...moon to replace it. The Samsung E720 is a fairly small little phone, clamshell in design and it will virtually fit into the palm of my hand when it is folded up. The fact that it does have a clamshell design does mean that my forgetting to lock the keypad became a problem of the past. At the time (so maybe not so much) the E720 had most of the new features available. Bluetooth, integral camera capable of taking videos and photos, an mp3 player ...
...In a way I think Samsung have tried to be too clever by adding extra buttons which really just don't work. Also after having this phone for 11months I think it might be starting to die on me, it no longer tells me when I recieve new texts and sometimes calls never reach it. So all in all it's not bad, but it's certainly not the best. ...

Review of Samsung E720

I got my Samsung at the end of July 2005. Because I have a contract with O2 I didnt have to pay for the mobile as it comes free. I have been happy with this mobile the only problem I have had is that sometimes people have a problem understanding what I am saying when talking to them on the phone. My step-son also has the same problem with this phone, other than that I dont have any other problems. ----------Look of the phone ---------- This phone ...
...I think this is a good phone, I always have a good signal, the picture quality and sound quality is good and it is easy to use. I would recommend this phone to people and I waill more than likely get another samsung when I change my phone. ...

Review of Samsung E720

This phone is the combination of the E700 and D500 (both of which I, or friends, have owned) and it is truly fantastic. It's the best phone I have had to date with everything I need, and some that I do not need. The phone itself is very stylish. The colours (a silvery grey and black) compliment each other perfectly and the numerous external buttons allow you to control a lot of functions, such as MP3 and camera, without opening the phone. With a ...
...outer screen constantly displays a digital clock, signal strength and battery life. After closing it, you can chose either an analogue clock or choice of picture, which disappears after three seconds. A bit pointless, but handy if you don't wear a watch (if you don't like digital). It has a very powerful torch (by a phone's standards) to allow you to find your keys in the darkest of places, for example. It has a calendar, alarm clock, calculator, ...

You will also find a fast forward, pause/play and rewind buttons just below the screen. Generally a nice looking phone.

Review of Samsung E720

I "upgraded" to this phone recently because I wanted to try a clamshell phone, having previously spurned them. I should have stuck to my first instinct. If you'd like to know why, read on. Appearance ------------------- This phone looks great- smooth and sleek. It's also really small when closed, which to me is a big plus. The outside has a small screen, which you can personalise with a clock (3 different designs are provided) or any other picture. ...
...a few seconds though, leaving a blank black square, saving on battery power, but meaning you don't get to enjoy your carefully chosen, personality reflecting design. One other downside of the appearance is that it only comes in slate grey. Providing other colour options might have been a nice touch. The inside screen is a good size, and the resolution is quite good. It's spoiled though, by the tacky looking meny down the left hand side, which you ...

Review of Samsung E720

...always been a fan of Samsung phones in fact it is the only brand I have ever owned. I got his particular as part of an upgrade on my existing contract with O2 through the Carphone Warehouse. It was a pretty good deal as they gave me £135 towards a new phone and this particular model was £160 at the time however I also received another £40 trade in on my old phone which had broken so I made £15 on the deal. This is a flip phone and typical of all ...
...89g. It has a black view. It is also light enough for you to forget that it is there. The camera is mounted on the front of the phone as well as the play buttons for the MP3 player. It has a small black screen on the front that displays the time and caller details when receiving or making a hands free call. On the left hand side there are volume buttons and the slot for the head phones while on the right hand side is the phone button. Once opened ...

Review of Samsung E720

...initially enchanted by the stylish Samsung D500. As I was browsing, however, I found, on a cheaper contract, the E720, essentially released at the same time. There are numerous reviews on Ciao of its predecessors, the E700 and E710 but it should certainly not be confused with these… I have had this phone for two weeks now and, as it is released by pretty much every network on their contracts this month, I think it's important I convey my thoughts ...
...software problems with it (as sadly mattshaw4 found with his E710) but will update this if I do, it does not appear likely. Visually, the E720 is possibly the nicest flip-phone I have seen, on paper its dimensions are 91 x 45 x 23 (mm), which when closed is the size of a small packet of paracetemol; I was actually very surprised when I opened it to find it was so small, but perhaps I'm behind the times! Its sleek black look is complemented by its ...

I changed from the sony ericsson k700i and i'm so glad! The E720 has all the mod cons you'd need. Bluetooth? Yes. Mega pixel camera? Yes. Loads of memory? Yes.

...Bluetooth; I came across the Samsung E720 and found my ideal phone. With its great looks and fantastic features, I bought it with out the need to look at anymore phones on sale. I will first mention its slim design and how it benefits its use. Since the phone is relatively small, it fits in your pocket with ease. It has a 262k colour screen so the picture is crystal clear, great for photos and videos. Easy to navigate options lets you configure ...
...keys so listening to music couldn't be easier. Since it's a Flip-Phone with a camera on the front you can take pictures and videos even with the phone closed! The battery life is extremely good, as it only needs charged around once every 3-4 days, though it depends on how much you use it. The charger doesn't easily break, as I have ran over it with my chair a good few times and it's still standing! There are 9 options in the menu, from applications ...

Being so small and lightweight means that you can easily carry it in your pocket. The menu is both easy-to use and attractive making it very user-friendly. Features include SMS, MMS, camera, video camera, email, downloadable java games, WAP, bluetooth, voice recorder and personal organiser functions. In addition to the main menu ...

The total memory capacity of the phone is 88.5 Mbytes, which is good. 80 Mbytes are allocated for images, sound & video. 4 Mbytes for Java, 3 Mbytes for email, 1.5 Mbytes for MMS and 200 SMS. The picture quality of the camera is very good but I have found that when taking videos, though the picture quality is good the sound isn't particularly great. The camera has a zoom and you can ...

Review of Samsung E720

This is my 3rd Samsung phone and i have really liked them all, I am not into loads of technology but it just gets to the stage where you need to upgrade as your phone is just not up to date anymore and i find Samsungs easy to use. Well here it is, i liked this phone so much i bought it twice. I got my first E720 in July 05 and thought it was great, (i'll go through all the features later). I have a baby son and needed a camera phone to get all ...
...get the digital camera out for as the've been and gone by then. the camera takes good clear pictures and there are quite a few different effects you can have. I downloaded all my favourite tracks from my P.C. using the bluetooth feature and used it as an MP3 player when i was out and about (you can use it with the earphones or without). As you can tell i was and am completely happy with my phone. I like the games you get on it especially Bobby ...

However I did have one problem and that was working out how to put keypad lock on as there is a short cut button to the camera on the side of the phone which if knocked in your pocked your would end up taking pictures of your pocked and wasting battery life, however after reading the manual again I worked it out soon enough and this is now all sorted and am no longer taking pictures of my pocket.
